Joonas Suotamo is bringing the first live-action Wookiee Jedi to Star Wars in The Acolyte, and he has a rich history of Wookiee Jedi to live up to.
Since Star Wars’ inception, the Wookiee has become one of the most iconic and beloved species in the franchise. While George Lucas initially was against the idea of letting Wookiee become Jedi, several characters slipped through his grasp before he finally caved. As of now, six Wookiee Jedi were named in Star Wars Legends, while four have been named in canon .
9 Tyvokka Tyvokka was another somewhat well-known Wookiee Jedi who has mostly been decanonized as a character. Tyvokka made his first appearance in the thirty-sixth issue of Star Wars: Republic by Dark Horse Comics. He was a powerful and prominent member of the Jedi High Council before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, notable for having trained Kel Dorian Jedi Master Plo Koon, who would later find and bring Ahsoka Tano to the Jedi Temple.
5 Ruhr The last Star Wars Legends Wookiee was technically the first ever Wookiee Jedi, since he predated the First Jedi and the founding of the Jedi Order itself. Ruhr held the rank of Je’daii Temple Master: one of the highest ranks attainable in the Je’daii Order on Tython. Not much is known about Ruhr other than the fact that he and fellow Temple Masters formed the Master’s Council, which in many ways was a precursor to the Jedi High Council.
