Wandering Jedi, like Ahsoka Tano, were called Ronin.

In Melitto culture, a ronin was a male warrior who had survived the defeat of his myrmitrix, thus becoming a hiveless outcast. The ronin Sarco Plank ended up working as a bounty hunter, jungle guide, and tomb raider on Devaron.[1]

Ronin was also a term that could be applied to wandering Jedi. Ahsoka Tano was a Ronin,[2] and Grand Admiral Thrawn told Tano that being stranded on the wastelands of the planet Peridea suited her.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

Melitto ronin first appeared in Jason Fry's junior novel The Weapon of a Jedi: A Luke Skywalker Adventure, in the person of Sarco Plank.[4] However, the term itself was coined in Star Wars: Aliens of the Galaxy, also written by Fry.[1] In real-life, rōnin were vagrant, masterless samurai warriors.[5]
