Star Wars: What Happened To EVERY Jedi That Survived Order 66

Cere Junda first appeared in the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and her story will be continued with its sequel.

Once a Jedi Padawan under Master Eno Cordova, Cere Junda was given the rank of Jedi Knight just before the execution of Order 66, taking on a Padawan, Trilla Suduri. When the Jedi Purge began, both Junda and Trilla managed to escape their clone attackers with several Jedi younglings in tow.

Their escape was short-lived, and Junda was captured and tortured by the Inquisitors. She held out as long as she could, but eventually broke and gave up her Padawan. Trilla was taken, tortured and turned to the Dark Side of the Force.

In rage, Junda killed her tormentors and went into hiding, severing her ties to the Force. As a fugitive, she joined the crew of the "Mantis", a transport ship. After years of hiding, Junda came across a Jedi fugitive called Cal Kestis, who was fleeing from the Inquisitors.

At first unsure how to proceed, Junda agreed to help Kestis with his training after learning of a lost holocron which contained the names of numerous Force-sensitive children. Hoping for a chance to rebuild the Jedi Order, Junda and her new apprentice braved the journey to retrieve the holocron. During the mission, she came face-to-face with both Vader and her old Padawan, and she and Kestis only just managed to escape.

They were able to destroy to holocron, to keep its information away from the Empire.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
