Kanan's blindness

Definition

In Star Wars Rebels, Kanan Jarrus loses his eyesight to Maul. From that moment he has to “see” without eyes — a key learning chapter for Force trust.

Force perception

With help from the Bendu and his own discipline, Kanan develops a Force perception that does not depend on his eyes.

Why it matters

His blindness symbolically links Kanan to old Jedi ideas like Chirrut Imwe and underlines a saga theme: trust is more than sight.
