- "Look, I know you're not gonna believe me, but it's like this thing wanted me to take it."
"You're right, I don't believe you. Now hand me the lightsaber." - ―Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus
Kanan's lightsaber was a two-piece lightsaber owned by Kanan Jarrus, a Padawan who survived the destruction of the Jedi Order. After the execution of Order 66, Jarrus—who was born Caleb Dume—went into hiding and kept his lightsaber hidden so he would not be identified as a Jedi and killed.[1] He nonetheless secretly carried it with him everywhere he went, including on the planet Gorse and its moon, Cynda, during the conflict on Gorse.[3]
Fourteen years after the fall of the Jedi, the lightsaber was discovered hidden on the Ghost by Ezra Bridger, an orphan from Lothal who was taken in by Jarrus and the crew of the Ghost. During the crew's mission to rescue Wookiee slaves from the spice mines of Kessel, Jarrus used his lightsaber and revealed himself as a Jedi to Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau, thereby giving the crew and the Wookiees a chance to escape Kessel. This action drew the attention of the Jedi hunter known as the Inquisitor.[4]
