The Star Wars Afternoon presents... HITCH RANAGAN

I started with Dale, so obviously Chip had to be the next character to adapt. 

     I guess I should clarify that I'm basing all of these in the yet untouched time period following The Rise of Skywalker where the major powers in the galaxy have either been destroyed or crippled, and Rey's new order of Jedi has yet to be established.


Hitch Ranagan

Born without a strong connection to the Force, the chance of scrappy and stalwart Hitch Ranagan becoming a Jedi Knight is a slim one at best. Nevertheless, Hitch remains devoted to the values of the famed protectors, being among the first (along with his brother Lonzo) to join the Rangers of the Restored Republic, the new guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. On a mission to the Western Reaches, Hitch came into the possession of an actual lightsaber, which he then retrofitted with a magnetic propulser, essentially allowing him to summon it from a short distance. 

Force abilities or not, Hitch exemplifies the Jedi way through resourcefulness and dexterity, fending for those less advantaged and proving that there is more than one solution to a problem, as well as more than one type of hero.
