9) Ferus Olin
Here’s another potential last Jedi who’s very unlikely to have anything to do with the film, but we feel we should mention him regardless.
Star Wars: The Last of the Jedi was a ten-book series for young adult readers written by Jude Watson. First of all, the series’ title isn’t strictly accurate, as the books take place during Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Meaning that Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi are the real last Jedi knights at the time.
Anyways, The Last of the Jedi follows Ferus Olin, a young former Padawan who leads a rebel organization against the Empire. Across the series, he trains under Obi-Wan, acts as a double agent for Emperor Palpatine and serves as a guardian for Princess Leia on Alderaan. Oh, and he’s eventually killed by Darth Vader. Basically, he’s the Star Wars version of Forest Gump.
The obvious reason why Ferus is unlikely to appear in The Last Jedi is that he’s from a completely different part of history. It’s much more likely that, if he is to make the leap to the screen, he turn up on Star Wars Rebels at some point.
