I recently bought some comics and in the lot was "Star Wars Previews 001". I can't find it on the site and I also bring up the question if this is in fact the true first appearance of Kanan Jarrus. This actually has the preview of "Kanan the Last Padawan". which from what I guess is what they're saying is the first appearance. I should also state that he does appear in the book.

I don't find it here either, even just searching Previews. CPG does list other preview comics and stuff like Dark Horse Insider, so guess this qualifies to be listed, but just isn't. So, if Kanan the Last Padawan is the 1st app within a regular series, then this preview would precede that, so technically his 1st app..This kind of stuff never used to be considered 1st app's, but these days anything goes.

Here's more info for someone to input (I haven't 'verified' this with 10 other sites, but no reason to believe someone with a Star Wars blog would need lie about it):

From http://swcomiccollector.blogspot.com/search?q=star+wars+previews :

"At the Star Wars Celebration 2015 in Anaheim, 2 different versions of the Star Wars Previews #1 were distributed. One preview has a Star Wars: Lando ad on the back and the other has the Max Ride: First Flight Preview #1 on the other side. This version with the Max Ride preview was also distributed at New York Book Con 2015. The version with the Max Ride preview has more pages. Neither version seems to be harder to find than the other and both seem to sell for around the same price on e***."

From a SW wiki site:
