These Are Jedi Masters from the Prequel Era We Might See in The Acolyte

Have you ever wondered if we might see some beloved Jedi Masters from the prequel era in The Acolyte series? Me too.

To save you time, I’ve researched and curated a list of possible Jedi Masters who might appear in the next series of The Acolyte.

But before we jump to that part, let’s see how The Acolyte fits into the Star Wars timeline. After that, we’ll explore why these masters are perfectly reasonable candidates to make an appearance.

When Does The Acolyte Take Place in the Star Wars Timeline?

“A hundred years before the rise of the Empire, it is a time of peace,” reads the opening text of The Acolyte.

So, when exactly is that? It’s 100 years before the Empire’s rise, set around 19 BBY. This places The Acolyte around 119 BBY, during the High Republic era.

Now, with that in mind, let’s see which Jedi Masters we might see from the prequel era in this new series.

The Prequel Era Jedi Masters We Might See

1. Yareal Poof

Let’s kick things off with Yareal Poof. Hailing from the Outer Rim world of Quermia, Yareal Poof is a revered Jedi Master. By 232 BBY, he was already a member of the Jedi High Council, the ruling body of the Jedi Order. Given this timeline, Poof aligns perfectly with the era of The Acolyte, making him a prime candidate for a cameo.

2. Oppo Rancisis

Next up is Oppo Rancisis. By the year 232 BBY, Rancisis had secured his spot on the Jedi High Council. Known for his strategic brilliance and longevity, he was one of the council’s oldest members by the time of The Phantom Menace. His long tenure makes it highly likely he was active during the timeline of The Acolyte.

3. Yaddle

Yaddle, a Force-sensitive female of the same species as Yoda and Grogu, was a Jedi Master who played a significant role during the High Republic era. In 382 BBY, she and her young initiate, Cippa Tarko, battled the Path of the Open Hand in the Night of Sorrow on Dalna. Given her active status during the prequel era, it’s quite possible she could make an appearance in The Acolyte.

4. Tera Sinube

Tera Sinube is another Jedi Master worth mentioning. Known for his wisdom and experience, Sinube appears in The Clone Wars. In 231 BBY, he was a newly minted Jedi Master and the marshal of a Jedi outpost on Derra. His advanced age and mentorship during the prequel era suggest he could be alive during The Acolyte.

5. Yoda

We can’t forget Yoda! At around 900 years old at his death in Return of the Jedi, Yoda would be approximately 750 years old during The Acolyte. As an active Jedi Master during this time, seeing Yoda in the series would be both logical and exciting for fans.

6. Plo Koon

In the Legends continuity, Plo Koon was about 382 years old at the time of his death in Revenge of the Sith. Though his exact age in the current canon isn’t specified, his long lifespan makes it plausible for him to appear in The Acolyte.

Not Jedi Masters, But Worth Mentioning

1. Huyang

Huyang, an ancient droid, has been training Jedi for thousands of years. His extensive history and longevity make him a likely candidate to appear in The Acolyte, providing guidance and knowledge to the new generation of Jedi.

2. Maz Kanata

While not a Jedi, Maz Kanata is renowned for her vast knowledge and longevity. Having lived for over a thousand years, it’s entirely plausible for her to show up in The Acolyte as a wise and knowledgeable character.

3. The Father, The Daughter, and The Son (Mortis Gods)

These powerful Force beings exist outside of normal time and space. Their unique nature and deep connection to the Force could allow them to appear in various eras, including the time of The Acolyte.

4. The Bendu

The Bendu represents the middle ground between the light and dark sides of the Force. His presence in Star Wars Rebels hints that he could be around during the High Republic era, potentially making an appearance in The Acolyte.

So, there you have it! These are some of the intriguing characters from the prequel era we might see in The Acolyte. Now, keep your lightsabers ready and your eyes peeled for these potential appearances!
