When Jedi Choose Blasters over Lightsabers
Why did the Jedi use blasters when the lightsaber was considered the sacred weapon of their Order? In this video, we explore the complicated history of Jedi wielding blasters across Star Wars Legends and Canon, from Revan and Meetra Surik during the Old Republic, to K’Kruhk and A’Sharad Hett fighting alongside clone troopers during the Clone Wars, Jedi survivors like Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger during the Purge, and Luke Skywalker’s New Jedi Order openly carrying ranged weapons into battle. Discover why blasters were never truly forbidden, when Jedi considered them necessary, how the Force could make a Jedi an incredibly dangerous marksman, and why Luke Skywalker ultimately believed carrying a blaster could actually be the responsible choice for a new generation of Jedi.
