Star Wars Just Confirmed Yet Another Order 66 Survivor

As far as significant events in Star Wars go, few can compete with the sheer horror of the moment Darth Sidious orders the Clone troopers to "execute Order 66," turning on their former Jedi allies and killing almost all of them.

Though the movies make clear that major figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda escaped, the fate of most was confirmed to be grim. With almost all of the Jedi Order wiped out, it was a safe assumption that we could count the number of survivors on one hand, but it seems as though at least one other Jedi did manage to escape with their life.

The seventh part of Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader comic sees Kylo Ren heads to a mysterious snow-covered planet to track down this Jedi, known as Grandea. Though details on her exact capabilities are unknown, it looks like her powers are going to be significant.

Leave aside the fact that she was likely reasonably potent in escaping in the first place, the blurb for this chapter confirms that Ren has "met his match." Being that we already know of his impressive control of the force, Grandea must also be an expert force user to contend with Ren.

Grandea's origins and journey towards becoming a Jedi are unclear, as is her story before she crosses paths with Kylo Ren. What is obvious is that she's going to do everything in her power to bring Ren over to the light in the seventh episode.

As Legacy of Vader has been confirmed as canon, whatever does happen here could have far reaching consequences for the Jedi, the Sith and everyone caught in the middle of their eternal struggle. With the eighth episode of the comic series set to introduce another Ren at the head of the Knights of Ren, there could be an interfamilial struggle on the cards before long.
