The Mandalorian Chapter 20: How Grogu’s Order 66 Rescuer Came From a Kids’ Game Show | Star Wars Can

The Mandalorian Chapter 20 surprised viewers by finally revealing the Jedi master who saved baby Grogu from Darth Vader’s attack on the Jedi Temple in Revenge of the Sith – Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, played by Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best. Kelleran Beq first appeared in the Star Wars kids’ game show Jedi Temple Challenge and appears in a Grogu Order 66 flashback showing how Beq fought fiercely to get the child to safety. So how did Kelleran Beq go from kids’ game show host on Star Wars Jedi Temple Challenge to the rescuer of the literal future of Star Wars? Join IGN host Max Scoville for the full breakdown on Star Wars Canon Fodder. 

Ahmed Best is perhaps best known for his role as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequel films, but he gets a major chance at redemption in his return as Kelleran Beq. So if you’re wondering who is Kelleran Beq, he’s the Jedi who rescued Grogu from Order 66. And if you’re also wondering is Jedi Temple Challenge canon, the answer is…kind of. The Star Wars game show uses a canon character (Kelleran Beq) to tell the non-canon stories in the series. 

Star Wars has shown us many angles of Order 66 at this point, and this time Kelleran Beq Mandalorian is the next Ahmed Best Star Wars and Ahmed Best Mandalorian character you need to know about. Also don’t forget Bo Katan Kryze and her whole Mythosaur situation. We’ve got the Easter Eggs and Star Wars explained.
