8) Jax Pavan
That’s still not it for characters who’ve been called the last Jedi in the Star Wars expanded universe (or Star Wars Legends, as it’s now known), though. There’s one more left.
In 2013, Star Wars: The Last Jedi from Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff riffed on the same concept as the earlier Last of the Jedi series. The novel followed Jax Pavan, a humanoid Jedi knight who escaped the destruction of the Jedi order by laying low as a private investigator on Coruscant. He also discovers the true identity of Darth Vader, which causes the Sith Lord to attempt to hunt him down.
While Pavan is perhaps a more dynamic character (a Jedi detective – you have to admit that’s cool), it would also be a stretch to see him appearing in the movie for many of the same reasons as Ferus Olin. For instance, the differing time period and obscurity. However, he does live to see another day at the end of the novel, so The Last Jedi could potentially depict him as an old man hiding out in the universe somewhere – much like Luke.
