Not your "average" Jedi

It irks me sometimes whenever Kanan gets underrated as a Jedi despite having proven his wisdom and strength time and again.

For example, comparing Kanan to Grogu over the "holding back the explosion without dying" thing without seeming to take some rather glaring differences into consideration.

Grogu:

Was standing on solid ground.

Only had to maintain a small Force bubble because Mando and Bo were, like, on their knees right next to him.

Is a baby, too cute and adorable to die. Fandom would rightfully revolt.

Kanan:

Was standing on an exploding fuel pod that's cracking apart beneath his feet.

Had to shield a frigging gunship that's hovering several meters away.

Had to lift and toss Hera to safety while still holding back the growing inferno with one hand.

Made zero attempt to protect himself when he Force shoved that same frigging gunship skyward because the safety of his loved ones was all that mattered to him.

Is a Jedi Knight and canon says he can't exist once the OT begins. In other words, doomed.

So, yes, Grogu is wonderful and impressive and I absolutely love him, but my blorbo Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight, is no slouch.
