Here's how old Caleb Dume is in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and what age he is when he meets Ezra Bridger as Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels. The Bad Batch shows Caleb, the young Jedi Padawan who would become Kanan, escaping from the Jedi Purge of Order 66. He goes on to live in exile during the early days of the Empire, before eventually joining up with Hera Syndulla and her small group of rebels years later.
The story of Kanan Jarrus is ultimately a tragic one. He was born as Caleb Dume into the final days of the Galactic Republic and instructed in the ways of the Force as the shadow of the Clone Wars approached. During the war, Caleb fought alongside his master Depa Billaba and her clone trooper battalion, only to see her cut down by those very same clones when Order 66 was enacted. Caleb ran, changed his name to Kanan Jarrus, and hid in the corners of the galaxy for years as Palpatine’s regime took shape. Nearly two decades later, in the ultimate act of sacrifice, Kanan gave his life to save his rebel comrades, never living to see the Empire fall.
Though tragic, Kanan’s life was certainly an eventful one. He was a major figure in the creation and early work of the Rebel Alliance, and he helped keep the ways of the Jedi alive during the dark times of Imperial rule. Here’s how old Caleb is during Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch, and how old he is in Rebels after changing his name to Kanan Jarrus.
How Old Caleb Is In Clone Wars & Bad Batch
Caleb Dume was born 33 years before the Battle of Yavin (BBY). That would have made him just 11-years-old when the Clone Wars began, and about 14-years old in Star Wars: The Bad Batch when they ended and Order 66 was given. Caleb still had his Padawan braid when his master was killed, and he had to scramble to survive in a galaxy that quickly turned against him while he was still just a child. That tough life in the Empire’s early days forced Caleb to develop a hard exterior and an instinct for survival – qualities that gave him an immediate feeling of kinship with the young Ezra Bridger when they first met.
How Old Kanan Is In Star Wars Rebels
Star Wars: Rebels begins five years before the Battle of Yavin, or roughly 14 years after Order 66. When Kanan first meets Ezra Bridger at the beginning of the show, he’s about 27 or 28. Rebels covers a period of about five years, ending very close to the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, and Kanan is there for almost all of it. When he sacrifices himself toward the end of Star Wars: Rebels, Kanan is 32-years-old.
