Eno Cordova is a human Jedi Master and archaeologist, introduced in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), where he appears through holographic recordings, and in the tie-in Marvel comic Jedi Fallen Order — Dark Temple (2019) as the master of Cere Junda.

He is a specific and welcome kind of Jedi: a scholar of pre-Republic civilisations, specifically the Zeffo, whose interest in vanished cultures the Order tolerates rather than values. The comic is largely about the friction between an archaeologist who wants to understand a site and a Republic that wants it surveyed, secured and exploited.

His contribution to the plot is the vault. Anticipating a catastrophe he cannot name, Cordova hides the holocron listing Force-sensitive children behind a series of Zeffo puzzles keyed to the training he gave Cere — so that only a Jedi who had been taught what he taught could ever reach it. It is a nicely characterised piece of plotting: the man protects the future with a curriculum.

He is worth an entry because canon has very few Jedi whose expertise is scholarly rather than martial, and because he is a reminder that the Order's archive problem — too much knowledge, too little curiosity about it — had exceptions.
