JACEN and JAINA

When the Empire died, they were born - a new hope for a New Republic. The young twins of Han Solo and Princess Leia are now fourteen, and enrolled at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy on Yavin 4. Together with friends both old and new, the future heroes of an already legendary saga begin their training.

STAR
YOUNG JEDI KNIGHTS
WARS

Luke Skywalker has come to a grim conclusion.  With the threat of a new generation of Dark Jedi being trained at the Shadow Academy, he knows the New Republic will need all the fighters it can muster.  At last, it is time for the young Jedi Knights to  build their lightsabers.

But there is more to mastering the ancient weapon than mere swordmanship.  Each student must learn about the mysterious bond between Jedi and lightsaber.  For Jacen and Jaina, success will mean growing stronger in the Force.  But for one of their friends, failure will mean tragedy.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
