The Jedi Academy Trilogy is a set of books in the Star Wars Legends. The three books, Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force, were written by Kevin J. Anderson starting in 1994. In 1995, Anderson also wrote Darksaber, a semi-sequel to the Jedi Academy Trilogy, which we talk about over here.The Jedi Academy Trilogy deals with Luke Skywalker and a couple of quasi-Jedi, with training even more incomplete than his, setting up a Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, seeking to train a selection of Force-Sensitives including, most promisingly, a prideful leader from a dying world, who rants about a "dark man", attacks Luke, is not reprimanded, and then is found burned to death in his room.Meanwhile, Han and Chewbacca are sent to the prison world Kessel, where they pick up a lucky, prideful young man named Kyp Durron, escape with him, and find their way to the Maw, a secret Imperial installation where superweapons were designed and made. There they steal the Sun Crusher, a tiny indestructible ship that can blow up stars, and break out, in the meantime cluing in the Maw's carefully isolated defensive armadas to the fact that the Rebellion has won. The leader of the Maw's forces is Natasi Daala, characterized by being a rare woman in the Imperial military, by being prideful, by getting as far as she did by being Tarkin's lover, and by being wildly incompetent.While Daala wages war, Kyp is brought to Yavin to pitch the Sun Crusher into a gas giant, and it turns out he is Force-Sensitive. Extremely so, in fact. The dark man begins training him. Turns out the dark man is the long-dead spirit of Exar Kun, Dark Lord of the Sith, who has been trapped on Yavin for four thousand years. After snapping at a student who is filking about one of Exar Kun's Jedi opponents and generally being a jerk, Kyp waits until Mara Jade swings by, steals her ship, yanks the Sun Crusher out of its gas giant, and flies away in it, supposedly to fight Daala, destroying entire systems in the process. At some point Luke is put into a sort of coma, able to astral-project but not able to speak to anyone.Kyp, looking for his brother, swings by the Imperial training academy, a world with twenty-five million inhabitants, and makes its star go supernova when they tell him his brother is dead. Turns out his brother was still alive, was being the operative word, as the supernova weapon is irreversible and Kyp's brother got caught in the blast seconds before Kyp could save him. Oops.Han Solo tracks Kyp down and Kyp threatens him while Exar Kun moves openly, influencing one of the students to try to kill Luke. The other students stop him, then apparently destroy Exar Kun. With Kun's influence removed, Kyp suddenly realizes how far off the deep end he's gone. Kyp surrenders to Han, then they go to the Maw and pitch the Sun Crusher into a black hole where it really can't be retrieved, drawing the Death Star prototype into the same black hole in the process. Then Kyp is shuttled back to the Jedi Academy to continue his training.The trilogy was revisited by Michael A. Stackpole in 1998 with the standalone novel I, Jedi, whose first act is an Adaptation Distillation of Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force from the point of view of Corran Horn, protagonist of Stackpole's entries in the X-Wing Series, who attends the Jedi Praxeum as one of the students whose identity Anderson had deliberately left blank so later authors could fill in their own candidates. | |

Hurl It into the Sun | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_24b93b2 | comment |
Hurl It into the Sun: What the New Republic decides to do with the Sun Crusher, although they picked a gas giant instead of a sun. At the end of the trilogy, Kyp hurls it into a black hole, where it cannot be retrieved from (and is presumed to be actually destroyed). The fairly lame suggestion by the New Republic Council that a gas giant would be good enough seemed to be deliberately implying that at least some of them were hoping that someday they'd be able to retrieve the Sun Crusher and use it against the Empire once political opposition to using an Imperial superweapon died down. | |

More than Mind Control: Kyp isn't possessed or fully controlled by Exar Kun, but his mind is definitely warped and heavily influenced by him. When Kun is wiped out for good, Kyp is described as dropping like a puppet with its strings cut. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: In-universe. Double-barreled blasters of the kind Skynxkex uses when trying to kill Han in Jedi Search fire two beams at slightly intersecting angles; when these reach other, they merge and diffract into a spreading burst of bolts each ten times stronger than a normal blaster shot. However, while potentially very deadly, these blasters are functionally impossible to aim due to the projectile swarms being sent out randomly, and few people actually bother using them. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: The companion sourcebook reveals a lot of interesting tidbits about some of the Maw Installation soldiers and scientists who aren't fleshed out much in the books. Spear Carrier stormtrooper General Odosk only planned to stay at the base for a year or two to cap off his career before retiring to live with his daughter and grandchildren, but having to stay there for over a decade and go through repetitive and empty training exercises has robbed him of his ability to enjoy imagining a peaceful retirement. The bureaucratic Yemm, head of the administrative division, is bored by his duties and tries to mitigate this by organizing clubs like a saabac league or musical groups. He also changes his office every few months so he can have a different view, something which often inconveniences his subordinates (with Yemm making this up to them by keeping Sivron from riding them too hard). Snarky and grumpy artillery engineer Golanda's bitterness is because she was forced to come to the Maw Installation in the first place after being happy at a university think tank, and because the black hole's effect on gravity makes most of the experiments she was brought there to do pointless anyway. She is also the only high-ranking scientist to mingle much with the military personnel, and plays cards with them during her free time. | |

Ramming Always Works: The method used by Han Solo, once he has stolen the Sun Crusher, to deal with one of Daala's Imperial Star Destroyers, that is blocking their escape path of the Maw. How Ackbar fends off an attack on Mon Calamari by Daala, using the (unmanned and barely finished) new Mon Calamari cruiser Startide. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_35022c20 | comment |
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: The Maw has a prototype Death Star floating around outside it, which is used in the Battle of Kessel. Otherwise defied. Kyp attempts to ensure this by mind-wiping Qwi Xux of the designs for the Imperial superweapons, so that no more could be made, and when the New Republic dismantles Maw Installation and Kyp destroys the Death Star prototype (with most of the remaining Maw researchers onboard) and dumps the Sun Crusher in a black hole, it seems that all information that could be used to recreate Imperial superweapons has been eliminated. However: Another backup of the Death Star plans is stored deep in the archives of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, and the original lead designer had been reassigned away from the Maw years earlier so he's still at large. Daala also escapes to the Imperial Remnant with a portion of the data, and some of it gets used to build weapons in later series. Hand of Thrawn initially declares it all Awesome, but Impractical, but Daala returns in Legacy of the Force with other, field-ready weapons built to Maw specs. | |

Conspiracy Theorist: The fact that Luke doesn't suppress the knowledge of Kyp Durron's investiture gives the anti-Jedi crowd a huge propaganda coup. Daala's also convinced everyone she encounters is secretly with the Rebellion, no matter what. | |

Caught in the Bad Part of Town: There is one part where toddlers Jacen and Jaina Solo wind up in the dark underbelly of Coruscant, where they encounter malfunctioning worker droids, cannibalistic street wraiths and various other unsavory types. Luckily they're picked up by a slightly loopy but benign underhive gang leader who Would Not Hurt A Child and promptly returns them to their parents. This gang leader explains that he and others in his gang were former Imperial bureaucrats who were forced into hiding after making mistakes that the Empire would kill them for. | |

Universal Universe Time: While safeguarding baby Anakin at a base on one of Anoth's planetary fragments, Winter insisted on keeping the clocks set to Coruscant standard time as the sky remained at nearly the same brightness all the time, which resulted in the concept of day and night not really existing on Anoth. | |

Tactical Superweapon Unit: The trilogy climaxes with a battle between a half-completed third Death Star (actually a test bed for a prototype version of the original Death Star's superlaser) and the Sun Crusher, a starfighter with Armor of Invincibility and star-popping plasma torpedoes, and both of them fall into a black hole while ineffectually shooting at each other with neither superweapon able to harm the other. | |

Reassigned to Antarctica | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_5798bfbf | comment |
Reassigned to Antarctica: One interpretation of Daala being given command of the Maw Installation is that it's legitimate recognition of her command abilities. Another is that Tarkin pulled strings to give his mistress a good assignment. A third is this trope, where Tarkin, having had his fun, shuffles his now ex-mistress off to the most secret and remote posting he can find. | |

Spanner in the Works: After her failure at Mon Calamari, Daala strips most of the crew and weapons from one of her remaining two Star Destroyers, intending to crash it into Coruscant. The plan never gets off the ground: Kyp Durron shows up with the Sun Crusher and blows up the star cluster she's staging in, incinerating that Star Destroyer and badly damaging Daala's flagship. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Lampshaded by Han when Qwi Xux attempts to claim that the Death Star and World Devastators were designed for peaceful applications, like asteroid mining. Han points out that if that were the case, they probably wouldn't have had words like "death" or "devastator" in their names. Corran also points this out to Wedge in I, Jedi, doubting that Qui was quite as clueless as she claims. | |

Shattered World: Anoth was shattered by some cataclysm in the ancient past, leaving it as three distinct chunks that remain in each other's vicinity due to their gravitational pulls. Two fragments are close enough together to share an atmosphere, which is wracked by constant storms as the fragments scrape together and generate immense static discharges. The third is further off and a little more stable, enough so as to be able to host a small, compact outpost. | |

| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_6e37c196 | comment |
Once Done, Never Forgotten: Kyp Durron, a powerful young Jedi who once got either possessed or heavily influenced by an ancient and very evil ghost, and who then fished out an indestructible superweapon that had been dropped into the heart of a gas giant and proceeded to use it to cause a supernova that destroyed a rather populated planet. He was then very quickly and easily brought back into the light and put the superweapon into a black hole, then got off basically scot-free in the trilogy where he originally featured. Basically every book to feature him since then has called him on it, and paint Kyp as the perpetual Atoner, having it and his lack of punishment constantly brought up. And to make it worse, from New Jedi Order onward, Kyp is a Jerkass who's no longer interested in atoning for his sins. | |

Big Bad Ensemble: The trilogy has three unconnected primary villains: Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala escapes from the Maw Installation with three Star Destroyers and goes on a (brief and ineffectual) rampage across the galaxy. Ambassador Furgan of Carida poisons New Republic Chief of State Mon Mothma and plots to kidnap the infant Anakin Solo to raise him to be a replacement Emperor. Exar Kun, the 4000-year-old ghost of an ancient Sith Lord, attempts to corrupt Luke's students in hopes of founding a new Sith Order. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Exar Kun wasn't dormant, precisely, since he bred monsters, but an academy of semi-trained Jedi was exactly what the pharmacist prescribed to get him back into intergalactic affairs. Luke should have kept Kyp Durron's investiture as quiet as possible; the Jedi might have had a few more allies when the Vong came along. | |

Sleeping Their Way to the Top | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_80818684 | comment |
Sleeping Their Way to the Top: Often taken as the reason why Daala became Admiral. It's kind of confirmed in Death Star, where she's Tarkin's lover and he privately believes that the boost he gave her career is just enough to get her past the difficulties female Imperials have in the military. She takes brain damage in that novel. Even in this trilogy, it's noted that Daala and Tarkin were having an affair, and that he gave her the Maw assignment personally, either as genuine recognition of her ability, a result of this trope, or because he was done with her and wanted her as out-of-the-way as physically possible. | |

Designer Babies | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_87f13be4 | comment |
Designer Babies: Done by the Khommites, who believed their society was perfect, and froze it by cloning themselves for a thousand years. This changed when the 81st clone of Dorsk was found to be Force-sensitive and left to become a Jedi, eventually bringing Khomm into the galactic war they had avoided up to that point due to their planet's isolation and lack of resources that anybody else cared about. Also they are described as being genderless, something they "forsook" when taking up cloning, though only referred to by male pronouns (it appears they mean Khommites have no biological sex, so this wouldn't preclude them identifying that way socially). | |

Bodyguard Crush | |

Bodyguard Crush: Wedge Antilles was Qwi Xux's bodyguard. (Yes, for some reason a general was the bodyguard of a high-ranking ex-Imperial scientist.) He rapidly develops feelings for her. Of course, when Kyp Durron decided to traumatically destroy Qwi's memories, Wedge wasn't able to stop him. They break up at the start of Aaron Allston's Starfighters of Adumar, with Wedge later marrying Iella. | |

"Ass" in Ambassador | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_997d5872 | comment |
Since Carida was an Imperial planet and a major Stormtrooper training center, it explains why many in the New Republic weren't all that dismayed by its destruction. Particularly given that the Caridan ambassador had just shortly before attempted to assassinate the New Republic Chief of State (though they did not know that at the time). However, since the Jedi felt the deaths of the planet's millions of inhabitants in excruciating detail, including all the civilian population, some of them were less inclined to be so forgiving. It isn't like everyone on an entire planet is involved with stormtrooper training, after all. | |

General Failure | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_a01f88a7 | comment |
General Failure: Admiral Daala, whose sole achievements are killing a few dozen refugees on Dantooine, and destroying a floating city on the Mon Calamari homeworld. Not only does this massively pale compared to what Grand Admiral Thrawn managed to achieve with only slightly more resources, even other characters with no military training whatsoever (such as Kyp Durron and Tol Sivron) manage to cause more mass-destruction in this very storyline. This went through several retcons in later material by way of explanation: The Callista Trilogy states that she was a brilliant ground combat tactician, but Tarkin made her a naval officer in order to help hide their affair from his wife, while Death Star states she suffered a traumatic brain injury during a Rebel attack on the Death Star's construction site (damage so severe she doesn't even remember most of the preceding year, including the attack itself). | |

Good Is Impotent | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_a651f5a6 | comment |
Good Is Impotent: Inverted. This series is the first time anytime in Star Wars that a reason for the Light Side being stronger than the Dark Side is given. Jedi are at their most powerful when they are at harmony with themselves and the universe; as such Jedi are at harmony with other Jedi, therefore a group of Jedi can work together and become far more powerful than any of them individually. A Sith, who is focused on personal power and achievement, can't do this. Therefore Exar Kun is destroyed for good by Luke's students. Furthermore, besides the fact they typically have a serious case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, Dark-Siders tend to shoot themselves in the foot whenever they get too powerful: because the Force derives from life, killing off enemies actually weakens them. | |

Convection, Schmonvection: Luke walks through lava to get a prospective student to believe in his power. He's using the Force to direct the heat away from him, at least. The Sun Crusher survives being buried in a gas giant, without being crushed, due to its impenetrable armor; fair enough. However, the temperature at the core of a gas giant should have utterly ruined anything resembling electronics or any other onboard systems. Instead, the text is clear that Kyp doesn't just yank it out and repair it; all he has to do is use the Force to change the ship's instructions, and it flies itself out, apparently unharmed. | |

Their leader, the best-fed and clothed of the group, says that being king of his little band suits him better than being a bank clerk (All There in the Manual sources say he went on the run to avoid execution after making a typo that put Palpatine's name on a public list of loan defaulters) and he'd rather stay there. That being said, he is nice to Jacen and Jaina and returns them to their mother without any trouble. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
| Jedi Academy Trilogy / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: When Kyp destroyed the Carida star system by causing its sun to go nova, he killed 25 million people. Even if Carida was the only inhabited body in the entire system, that's still a very small number for a planetary population above a bronze-age level. For comparison, as of 2019, New York state alone had a population of almost 20 million. While Carida is described as being quite inhospitable (this being precisely why the Empire chose it for a Stormtrooper training facility), it also had a native non-human population who presumably would be well-adapted enough to their own planet's conditions to produce a larger population than that. Originally, it was "billions" who perished, which sounds more plausible. The lower number comes from sourcebook fluff, and may have been intended to mitigate the backlash against Kyp's actions. | |

Amusingly Awful Aim: When the prototype Death Star finally leaves the Maw Installation, it is flown by a mixture of scientists and petty politicians, none of whom have the relevant skill to use it (they could probably do a decent job of redesigning the station from scratch, but they're hopeless at flying it). Their first test shot with the superlaser misses the targeted planet, destroying its moon instead. The senior administrator brushes it off as an unimportant detail. | |

Helpless Window Death: Admiral Ackbar's ship is sabotaged to turn a landing into a crash —specifically, a crash into the Cathedral of Winds, a cultural monument made of glass and full of people. Despite his best efforts, he can't override the controls, but he does manage to eject his passenger Leia to safety, where she watches helplessly as the structure comes crashing down amid hundreds of screams. Ackbar himself remains on board, but activates a crash shield around the vessel, giving him an equally helpless front row seat to the carnage. Upon returning to Coruscant, he promptly resigns in shame. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: As a Sith Lord, Exar Kun wields enormous power even 4,000 years after his death, enough that he was even able to defeat Luke Skywalker. However, it never occurs to him that while he might be far stronger than an individual Jedi, a group of them in harmony with each other can cumulatively wield a power that far surpasses his, even if many of those Jedi are still little more than students. This proves his undoing. | |
