Star Wars has found its next Luke Skywalker, kind of, and once again, that role belongs to a woman. Disney (on a much bigger scale) tried this before, setting up Daisy Ridley's Rey as the Sequel Trilogy's answer to Luke, a comparison that left much of the fanbase divided after The Rise of Skywalker. Now, years later, a new face is being compared directly to Mark Hamill's iconic young Jedi, this time headlining a far lower-risk Disney+ series coming soon.That new face belongs to Lah Kara (voiced by Kimiko Glenn), the hero of Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, an eight-episode series spinning off from the two related Visions shorts from 2021 and 2025. Set in an era long after the Jedi and Sith have faded into legend, the story follows Kara as she trains under the mysterious Margrave Juro while trying to rescue her father, Lah Zhima (voiced by the MCU's Simu Liu), the galaxy's only known sabersmith, after Jedi Hunters capture him.
