Star Warshas somewhat redeemedThe Acolyte’slive - action Wookiee Jedi . know asKelnacca , the rarefied Force - tender Wookiee was one of the Jedi postulate in the events on Brendok and the tragical night that would mark duplicate sister Mae and Osha Aniseya on diverging paths . However , it ’s wide been argue that Kelnacca ’s role in the show was reprehensively underrated when he could and should have received greater ( and more meaningful ) screen time .

gratefully , Marvel ’s young and canonicalStar war : The Acolyte - Kelnacca # 1provides a far more satisfying High Republic story for the Wookiee Jedi than was seen inThe Acolyteitself . In the one - shot issue , an older Jedi Master on his deathbed shares with his Padawan the tale of his own professional , Kelnacca . Having drop off his original master during the fall of Starlight Beacon , Yarzion Vell was sent to have his breeding completed by Kelnacca .

Long Life Spans

As a Wookiee , Kelnacca has a very long spirit distich , capable of experience C of years . As such , the Wookiee was able to honour his former learner during Yarzion ’s last import and be present at his cremation . While Kelnacca was still in his prime , Yarzion himself had become an accomplished Jedi Master himself in the many year that followed his knighting .

Likewise , Yarzion ’s apprentice come across that Kelnacca suffer a interchangeable tattoo to her late victor , a custom from Yarzion ’s homeworld where the name of one ’s greatest wise man is tattooed on the side of the head word . As such , it ’s affecting test copy that Kelnacca care about his apprentice , even if he did n’t often express it through his actor’s line . It certainly show that Kelnacca was a sincerely majuscule Jedi Master during theHigh Republic Era , having tattooed his pupil ’s name just as Yarzion had done with his old victor ( and she had done for Yarzion ) .

Barely Used, Possessed By Witches, and Killed Off-Screen

Not only does Kelnacca honor his old student , but he also start the cycle again by agreeing to complete the Padawan ’s training at the military issue ’s final stage . As such , this single issue is a far well story for a Wookiee Jedi , rather than the few sequences of Kelnacca that were featured inThe Acolyteitself . Not only was he massively underutilized , but the times he was featured saw him being own and under the control of witches , as well as being murdered off - screen . As such , this unexampled comic does suffice as a decent integration prize for those who had want more fromStar Wars’first alive - action Wookiee Jedi .
