Publisher's summary

Witness the origins of young Jedi Kanan Jarrus, one of the breakout stars of the hit animated series STAR WARS: REBELS!

Discover how Jedi Padawan Caleb Dune became Kanan Jarrus — the cocky, sarcastic renegade hero of Star Wars: Rebels! As Caleb trained under Master Depa Billaba, neither one of them ever suspected that their seemingly loyal Clone Troopers would turn on them upon the issuing of Order 66 — the Emperor’s directive to execute all Jedi. How did Caleb Dune escape the Jedi purge?

Then, journey even further back and experience Caleb’s first adventure as a Padawan, protecting the Jedi Temple alongside his new Master. As they head toward the furious Battle of Mygeeto, they’ll face one of the deadliest threats in the entire galaxy: General Grievous!

Bridge the gap between the Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels!

  2. The flashback story in Kanan 1-Kanan 3 takes place during and shortly after Order 66, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY.
  3. Kanan 6 states that it had been fourteen years since Kanan Jarrus had seen Gamut Key. As Kanan last saw Gamut Key in Kanan 4, this comic must be set fourteen years prior to Kanan 6. Kanan 6 has the Ghost crew aware of Fulcrum, meaning that it must also be set after "Gathering Forces". However, as Ezra Bridger does not yet have his lightsaber, it must be set before "Path of the Jedi." "Star Wars: Galactic Atlas" places "Empire Day" (which directly precedes "Gathering Forces") and "Path of the Jedi" in 4 BBY, meaning that Kanan 6 must also take place in 4 BBY. If Kanan 6 takes place in 4 BBY, and Kanan 4 takes place fourteen years prior, it must take place in 18 BBY. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Kanan 5 to 18 BBY.
  4. Star Wars Helmet Collection: Commander Bacara Helmets: Commander Bacara places the events of Kanan 10-11 months prior to the Fourth Battle of Mygeeto, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 19 BBY. Kanan 7-9 take place shortly prior to Kanan 10.
  5. The opening crawl for Kanan 2 places the present day events of Star Wars: Kanan to be fifteen years after the Proclamation of the New Order, which occurred in 19 BBY according to Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, the present day events occur in 4 BBY.
