Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi in A New Hope & Osha pointing a blaster in Star Wars The Acolyte
Summary One notable detail in The Acolyte proves that Obi-Wan Kenobi was wrong about the Jedi Knights in their golden age. When giving Luke Skywalker an overview of the Jedi and the Republic they once served in A New Hope, Obi-Wan describes the Jedi Knights as “guardians of peace and justice” before the Empire supplanted the Republic. This, ultimately, has been proven incorrect by stories set in the High Republic era in the modern Star Wars canon.
Related Why The Jedi Think The Sith Are Extinct In The Acolyte & The Phantom Menace Before Darth Maul emerged from the shadows in The Phantom Menace, the Jedi believed the Sith to be extinct. Why did they make this mistake? Why Did Jedi Use Blasters In The High Republic Era? The simple explanation for why Jedi officially carry blasters in The Acolyte is that the weapons include a stun setting. The Acolyte establishes that Jedi do not ignite their lightsabers unless prepared to kill, so a blaster’s stun setting is a sensible non-lethal alternative to a lightsaber. Some blasters in both the canon and Legends timelines exclusively fire stun bolts, which might be the case for the Jedi blaster shown in The Acolyte.
