Kelly Knox, writing at StarWars.com, breaks down the characters in Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, available to watch now on Disney+ and Hulu. Based on the image above, from left-to-right, lets start with Gramps (Old Droid), followed by our main protagonist Lah Kara, Jedi Knight Margrave Juro and the fur-covered Homen.
Gramps (Old Droid)
Despite his advanced age and cantankerous personality, Gramps is a skillful and wily pilot droid that agrees to Kara’s request to take her to the station orbiting Hy Izlan. (He’d rather be relaxing with a hot drink, though.) Gramps later accompanies Kara, Juro, Homen, and Ethan on their mission to rescue Lah Zhima.
Lah Kara
Lah Kara is a spirited teenage girl who lives with her father, a sabersmith, on the frozen world of Hy Izlan. Kara has a natural talent for lightsaber combat and begins training in the Force when she’s very young, although she struggles with believing in her own abilities. Years later, when her father is captured by Jedi Hunters, Kara seeks out Margrave Juro for help and finds herself in the middle of a Sith ambush.
While Kara initially wields a colorless lightsaber blade, it turns bright green in her hands as she holds her own against the Sith warriors in the Aerial Temple. As Kara continues her mission to find and rescue her father, her strength and trust in the Force grows.
Margrave Juro
Margrave Juro is the leader of the remote Outer Rim planet Hy Izlan. Once a Jedi Knight who trained alongside Lah Zhima under Master Reno Tsutara, he now seeks to restore the Jedi Order. Juro bears a long scar across his face that hints at a history of hard-fought battles. A lightsaber blade glows green when held in Juro’s hands.
Homen
Towering and imposing, the fur-covered Homen wields a red lightsaber with the other Sith when Kara first meets him. In truth, he’s a Jedi who was unduly influenced by the others’ darkness. Homen breaks free of their sway, and his lightsaber blade cools to a light purple color. The levelheaded Force wielder joins the quest to revive the Jedi Order.
