31 Years Later, Star Wars Just Made A Strange Jedi Power Canon

After nearly five decades of Star Wars, you’d think the rules and powers of Jedi would be set in stone. But in a 2019 Mandalorian episode, Grogu was suddenly able to heal Din Djarin, and that power was seen again just a few weeks later in The Rise of Skywalker. Force healing may not have previously appeared in the modern canon, but in the old, now non-canonical Legends timeline, it was described in the novel Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. Now, another Legends power is entering the canon, and it could come in quite handy.

In the new animated series Tales of the Underworld, bounty hunter Asajj Ventress is shown lying low when she encounters Lyco, a young Jedi seeking the Path, the underground network that helps Jedi escape the Empire. At first, Ventress isn’t willing to help, but then Lyco mentions the Path was established by Quinlan Vos, the lover she was forced to abandon in exchange for being brought back to life by the Nightsisters.
