A jedi Wookiee walking through the woods in The Acolyte
The Big Picture As we continue to venture further back in the Star Wars canon with the new High Republic series The Acolyte, we've gotten a deeper and more introspective look at the Jedi Order of time's past. Over the years, we've seen a wide range of different races throughout the Star Wars universe become members of the Jedi Order.
It's hard to say exactly why Lucas was so against Wookiee Jedi. On one hand, it could be that, as the creator of the Wookiee concept in the first place, Lucas always thought they served another function within the Star Wars universe. After all, not every character or race in Star Wars is or should be associated with the Jedi Order. As the original dreamer, no one but Lucas would even have the right to make that sort of call.
This ultimately led to Wookiee characters like Ruhr still being created even after Lucas's rule was in effect. Ruhr, who first appeared in a 2012 issue of Dark Horse's Dawn of the Jedi comic series , was a fully established member of the Je'daii Order and had a strong connection to the Force. It's no surprise then that Lucas himself ended up backtracking on his original Wookiee rule, opening the door for projects like The Acolyte to one day do the same.
