The Jedi Academy Cast

A new Jedi Academy was recently founded in the Yavin system, along with a new Jedi Code:

Seek knowledge.
Seek peace.
Don't be a douche.

The official version replaces the word "douche" with "tyrant," but one of them gets used more often than the other...

The Academy residents:













Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master. Likes: Luke, lying. Dislikes: being possessed by dark Jedi spirits, Darth Vader.








Luke Skywalker, Jedi-in-training. Likes: learning to use the force, flying. Dislikes: missing out on adventures, the vague feeling that he should be doing something important.










Quan Hu, Force-sensitive Alliance technician. Likes: being useful, Jolee. Dislikes: not being strong in the Force, escape pods.







Deelo, Togruta trainee. Likes: his friends, candy. Dislikes: the Dark Side, Sith kidnappers.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Egon Pak, former Republic soldier. Likes: jet packs, choking people. Dislikes: people insulting clones, the Empire. Egon died on Felucia while destroying the dark Jedi Zer'ul.



Saz, Duros mechanic. Likes: fixing things, droids. Dislikes: social interaction, being a prisoner. Saz is currently permanently assigned as an Alliance technician on one of its vessels. We're sure he is quite happy, although the other techs probably aren't.


Stathos Dorn, redeeemed (?) Dark Jedi. Likes: secrets, children. Dislikes: questions, being too nice. Stathos decided to seek his own path in the galaxy, although he did provide protection to some young Force users to help out.
