SPECULATION Are there more Jedi in hiding?

If there are, I'd say there few and far between with Ben being one of them .

 

I would have voted "possibly" because, after Emperor Palpatine's Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith, most met with the wrath of the Sith and the Clone Troopers carrying out Darth Sidious' directive.

Obi-Wan Kenobi did manage to re-program the Jedi Beacon (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_beacon) (after Darth Vader set it to summon the Jedi back to Coruscant) to tell them to stay away and stay strong.

It's likely, given that galaxy-wide broadcast, some Jedi did receive that message in time to save themselves.

Perhaps they will be revealed sometime in this trilogy, either as members of the Knights of Ren and/or as prospective members of Luke's new Jedi Order.

I guess the new jedi is Rey.

 

if we're to take the opening crawl literally, then no, there are no other Jedi. Luke is the last.

Snoke could be referring to the "awakening" ~ that potentiality of a new Jedi, one whom Snoke fears / might be prophesied?

 

Luke is the last Jedi. It's his lot in life.

 

I should have also pointed out that, throughout the galaxy, there could be any number of Force-sensitives (e.g. Maz Kanata) who, under the right conditions and with the right teaching and intentions at the right time, could go on to become Jedi.

I think this should have Snoke very concerned, that Luke Skywalker could resurrect the Jedi Order fairly quickly given those still-potential (i.e. not presently kinetic) possibilities.

But in the movie they explain that Luke is the last official jedi.He was TRYING to teach his knowledge of the FORCE to students in his academy BUT we know what happen.When the movie start it said also that Luke is the last Jedi too in the yellow letters that goes to space....Did you REALLY see the movie 9 times???Also LST said that without the jedi there is NO balance in the FORCE.Luke was trying to "make new ones" to bring that balance.....

 

I take it as Luke being the last recognized/known Jedi in the galaxy. Maybe he is the very last Jedi at that time, but Snoke's concern is they (the Jedi) could return.

And there are no more Sith, yet there are Dark Side Force users such as Kylo Ren.

Snoke and The Knights of Ren are also said to be Dark Side users:

• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Snoke
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Knights_of_Ren

Luke Skywalker, in The Empire Strikes Back, exhibited all sorts of Force mastery and Jedi traits, but he was not yet a Jedi, as Yoda pointed out in the next episode, Return of the Jedi:

So, for me, I think it's more than conceivable there are potential, former/retired, or near-Jedi yet across the galaxy as of The Force Awakens, and some of them might even opt not to identify as a Jedi, be it for safety or other reasons.

Also interesting to note:

• In the Rebels animated series, Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka Tano are not Jedi, but in name/classification/identity only, as they clearly are Force users
• Maz Kanata used the Force in The Force Awakens, but it was later edited-out as a "deleted scene": http://screenrant.com/star-wars-7-deleted-scenes-maz-kanata-force-powers/

You got it right JMR.....

 

I'm personally hoping for this. People enter and exit academies / colleges / schools all the time.

Maybe Luke, in addition to becoming wiser in his withdrawing from the galaxy, will be able to surprise Snoke and The Knights of Ren with some survivors or former students from Luke's Academy.

Those survivors, still having been in the academy -- i.e. non-graduates -- would not yet be Jedi.

Perhaps Snoke can sense hints of that beyond Rey's awakening.

Everybody has his own theory.This is yours right....COOL.Let watch the other 2 movies that are coming and SEE if there are a few jedi around hidding.My answer is STILL NO....Luke is the ONLY jedi we KNOW for NOW in this movie.AHHH.....I don't have anything against you my friend.If i said something that hurt your feelings....I'm sorry.And ALL that you write here i forgive you Darth.Let watch out what people have to said in your thread.Take care and have a nice day too....

 

I think it's crucial to the story and to the characters that, as of ROTJ, Luke was the LAST. No Order 66 survivors or anything of the sort.

What I take the OP to mean is Luke's students in the meantime. I don't think any fully-fledged Jedi came from it... the process was interrupted. They may be close, but no cigar. And, of course, we don't know if anyone survived Kylo's attack. But I'm going to say that I don't think any of those trainees survived. If they did, they're nowhere near being a Jedi. Just as it was in ROTJ, it's important to the story and the characters that Luke is the last Jedi. They even specifically mention it. Rey is the future.

 

I agree with your comment jmjawors.For me Luke is the last jedi too.

 

Well Ezra and Ashoka WEREJedi and it's not like you suddenly lose that status...and if you're (Ezra) being trained by A Jedi then that should make them all Jedi (Ezra eventually)() right ?

 

Ahsoka was close, I suppose. Ezra... we'll see. Either way, by the time Luke comes around he's the last one. And I'm assuming that those who were training with Luke both didn't reach that status and didn't survive.

 

As noted, "Rebels" has shown that others beside Yoda and Obi Wan survived. I think it is a safe guess there would be others, many that have probably given up that life.
