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!

COLLECTING: Kanan - The Last Padawan (2015) 1-5, Kanan (2015) 6-12
Co-creator of the popular ’90s animated series Gargoyles, Greg Weisman produced The Spectacular Spider-Man on Kids’ WB! He was a producer on Young Justice, and he served as executive producer on the first season of Star Wars: Rebels. In comics, Weisman has co-written Captain Atom with Cary Bates and contributed to Who’s Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe. Weisman’s first novel, Rain of the Ghosts, was released in 2013, and its sequel, Spirits of Ash and Foam, the next year.

Artist Pepe Larraz penciled Spider-Island: The Amazing Spider-Girl and pitted ’90s rivals against each other in Deadpool vs. X-Force. Larraz worked on titles including Wolverine & the X-Men, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers and the Star Wars: Kanan before proving himself among the industry’s finest talents with House of X. His thrilling artwork made him the ideal illustrator for the blockbuster 2021 relaunch of X-Men with writer Gerry Duggan.

A winner of Marvel’s 2008 Chesterquest international talent search, Italian artist Jacopo Camagni has worked extensively on the publisher’s all-ages titles – including Black Widow and the Marvel Girls, Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil, Marvel Adventures the Avengers, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, Marvel Adventures Super Heroes and Skrulls vs. Power Pack. Camagni illustrated the limited series Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe, and has worked with fellow artist and frequent collaborator Matteo Lolli on various Deadpool projects including Hawkeye vs Deadpool.

Talented newcomer Andrea Broccardo has quickly found his feet at Marvel on projects including Kanan and the “Amazing Grace” storyline of Amazing Spider-Man. His work hit the big leagues in high-profile event tie-in book Civil War II: X-Men.
