"A small handful of Jedi managed to escape execution, such as Master Jaro Tapal's Padawan Cal Kestis...""
"On May 12, Lucasfilm and Disney released the reference book Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi: The Chronicles of Luke Skywalker. This is an updated version of a previously released Jedi reference book from 2019, and it contains new pieces of information and connections to recent shows and games."
"So what does this mean? Well, at the very least, it means that Kestis surviving after Order 66 is something Luke was aware of. But you can also read into this a bit more, which I'm going to do. I think it is interesting that Luke not only knows that Kestis survived, but that his master didn't, and that our favorite farm boy-turned-Jedi knows Tapal's name."
"But if we assume it's more, it could imply that at some point following the events of Return of the Jedi (after Yoda tells him he's the last of the Jedi...) Luke runs into Kestis and chats with the red-headed Jedi. The Star Wars Jedi hero would be about a decade or so older than him and the more experienced Force user at that point."
A newly updated Star Wars reference book, Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi: The Chronicles of Luke Skywalker, includes an expanded journal entry dated 34ABY. The entry references Cal Kestis surviving execution after Order 66 and names Kestis’s master, Jaro Tapal. The wording indicates Luke was aware that a small handful of Jedi escaped execution, including Tapal’s Padawan. The reference book is released by Lucasfilm and Disney on May 12 and updates a previously released 2019 Jedi reference. The new material connects Luke’s knowledge of Jedi history to recent Star Wars games and shows, suggesting possible future crossovers where Luke and Kestis could meet.
