Understanding the Jedi Order in Star Wars

The Jedi Order has long been a central element of the Star Wars universe, representing masters of the Force and defenders of peace. However, not every sentient species in the Galactic Forum of Full Achievement (GFFA) has played a direct role in its history. Certain species have remained largely isolated from the broader galactic community, making it unlikely that any of their members have ever joined the ranks of the esteemed Jedi Order.

Non-Sentient Species and the Jedi Order

One obvious group of non-sentient species, such as Banthas (a species of large, herd-dwelling animals), Tauntauns (furry, reptilian quadrupeds), and Sarlaccs (megalomaniacal, tentacled organisms), have never had a chance to participate in the Jedi Order. These creatures lack the cognitive abilities necessary for such complex and profound training.

Ewoks: An Isolated Sentient Group

Among sentient species, the Ewoks stand out as one of the most isolated and technologically primitive groups in the GFFA. They were largely uncontacted by the broader galactic civilization until the events of Return of the Jedi (ROTJ). According to this, it seems unlikely that any Ewok ever received Jedi training before this point. Despite the Ewoks having been present in the galaxy for several thousand years, their isolation and technological backwardness made it improbable that the Jedi Order ever interacted with them.

Geopolitical Dynamics and Jedi Involvement

During the waning years of the Galactic Republic, certain regions of the galaxy, notably in the Outer Rim, remained sparsely controlled or largely ignored. The Republic did not test the midichlorian levels of children from planets outside its influence, leading to the possibility that many potential Jedi from these regions were never recruited. For instance, on Anakin Skywalker's homeworld, Tatooine, was not part of the Republic when Anakin was a child. His midichlorian test was performed by Qui-Gon Jinn decades later, long after the Republic had extended its reach to Tatooine.

The Sith Species: A Unique Case

Another notable group is the Sith species. Although the Sith Order is infamous in the Star Wars universe, the Sith species themselves have a more intriguing history. A primitive race, the Sith endured conquest and later intermarriage with Dark Jedi exiles who discovered their world. Despite their intermingling, there is no recorded instance of a Sith or their descendants becoming Jedi. This suggests that the cultural and genetic barriers were too great for such an interspecies union to manifest.

Conclusion

While the possibility of unknown Jedi from isolated species cannot be entirely ruled out, certain sentient groups in the Star Wars universe remain unlikely candidates for Jedi affiliation. The Ewoks, the Sith species, and the geopolitical implications surrounding the Outer Rim planets highlight the complexity of the Jedi Order's origins and the limitations of its recruitment throughout the galaxy.
