Jedi Master Kelnacca, a Wookiee, looks pensively into the distance in The Acolyte. He's edited with a silhouette of another Jedi, presumably Luke Skywalker, in the Star Wars franchise.
Any species could potentially become a Jedi in the Star Wars canon and Legends continuities, and while there are a few notable instances of Wookiee Jedi, one new Jedi Master’s species could make for a comparably formidable Force-user. Wookiees are highly intelligent sapient beings whose natural strength far exceeds that of humans.
A Noghri Jedi Would Be A True Force To Be Reckoned With Thanks to their Force-sensitivity and intense training, Jedi have far greater reflexes than ordinary beings, and a species that already has exceptional reflexes would find them even further augmented as a trained Jedi. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the keen predatorial abilities of Noghri made them lethal assassins and bodyguards, yet the timeline never included a Noghri Jedi.
The modern Star Wars canon gave the franchise its first Noghri Jedi, however, with the introduction of Jedi Master Peleg Ryn. Ryn is a minor character who debuted in George Mann’s 2024 novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless. Although little is known about Peleg Ryn thus far, it is significant that the Star Wars franchise finally has a Noghri Jedi.
