Star Wars: Andor

[MarkB]

Luthen is almost certainly a Jedi. He has a lightsaber crystal, and his recent speech was peppered with coded clues, as elaborated on by @Celebrim above.

I feel like a lot of that was reaching. I'll keep an open mind, but from what's been on-screen so far, I'm just not feeling it.

My first thought in seeing him in that robe was JEDI!

I'm in the don't think Luthen is a jedi camp. For a start he is old enough (Stellan is 71) that we would have seen him in the prequal trilogy or TCW, and he doesn't look like any of those Jedi.

Wild guess: he had a child who became a jedi. The Kyber crystal belonged to them.

Fair enough. I'm not terribly fussed either way. As long as it works for the story, I'll be happy with whatever.

Not necessarily. The Jedi Order was like 10,000 members strong before Order 66. There's no way we've seen anywhere close to that number on screen.

It was 10,000 at the hight (i.e. Episode 1). They were already depleted by the Clone War before Order 66. But he would have been about 50 - not an age to be an obscure padawan, he would have been either senior or a washout. Even if he hadn't been on screen the Inquisitors would have pictures of senior jedi. He would be recognised on Coruscant.

And Failed Jedi doesn't seem to fit the narrative. If he was already failing before the Empire, he didn't have that much to sacrifice.

I think there's enough gray area there to have an older Jedi who wasn't important enough to be a senior member of the order (let alone a council member) but who also wasn't a washout. I also don't have any issue with him being savvy enough to evade the inquisitors and hide in plain sight on Coruscant - especially if he's cut himself off from the Force.

If he's not a Jedi survivor, then the writers have done a good job making me (and plenty of others on the internet) think that he might be.

Yeah I could see him maybe being a Jedi historian/librarian/archeologist out in the remote regions, which would inform his cover identity and make it so he would not have been seen around Coruscant (and thus definitely not in any of the movies).
