A Star Wars Legends science fiction book series (1995-98) by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.Han Solo and Leia have kids. They're studying at Luke's Academy. Chewbacca's nephew is also there, as is the daughter of Prince Isoldor and Teneniel Djo from The Courtship of Princess Leia.It's basically X-Men with lightsabers. The series started out with typical Imperial remnants-related plots, then gradually diversified (no pun intended) to include the kids fighting a much broader array of enemies, with well over a dozen books in the total arc. Many of the characters here would go on to be foundation-level players in subsequent EU works. Expect many of Kevin J. Anderson's characters (Tionne, Kyp Durron) to make an appearance as well.It consists of: Shadow Academy arc (compiled as The Rise of the Shadow Academy; the first 3 are also compiled as Jedi Shadow and 4-6 as Jedi Sunrise): 01. Heirs of the Force (June 1995) 02. Shadow Academy (September 1995) 03. The Lost Ones (December 1995) 04. Lightsabers (March 1996) 05. Darkest Knight (June 1996) 06. Jedi Under Siege (September 1996) Diversity Alliance arc (complied as The Fall of the Diversity Alliance): 07. Shards of Alderaan (January 1997) 08. Diversity Alliance (April 1997) 09. Delusions of Grandeur (July 1997) 10. Jedi Bounty (October 1997) 11. The Emperor's Plague (January 1998) Black Sun arc (compiled as Under Black Sun): 12. Return to Ord Mantell (May 1998) 13. Trouble on Cloud City (August 1998) 14. Crisis at Crystal Reef (December 1998)Not to be confused with Junior Jedi Knights, a similar series mostly from the same co-author (Rebecca Moesta) focusing on Anakin Solo's time at the Academy.

Cool Old Guy: TIE Fighter veteran Qorl fought over Yavin, and survived in the jungle for decades. While not good, he is a villain with some ethics and honor. And is generally one of the cooler people working for the Shadow Academy.

The Heavy
 Young Jedi Knights / int_1badfbbb
comment
The Heavy: A new Emperor leads the Imperial remnants in the first story arc of the series, and Brakiss is merely one of his subordinates, albeit a fairly senior one. Nonetheless, the Master of the Shadow Academy drives most of the plots and provides the physical enemy the heroes are fighting throughout, with the Emperor appearing only in the final book. And turning out to be a fraud.

Land Mine Goes "Click!"
 Young Jedi Knights / int_1c84852f
comment
Landmine Goes Click: Generally averted with the burrowing detonators and sonic punchers (motion-activated grenades) used during the civil war on Anobis (as portrayed in Return to Ord Mantell). Sometimes the soil the burrowing detonators are in can be seen moving moments before one goes off, but there's rarely any warning. Fortunately, Jedi can sense them wherever they're planted, and the Solo children and their friends make use of this to help clear out many fields and tunnels that have been seeded with these weapons. Flying low enough over a field with shields active also proves very effective for clearing out the burrowing detonators planted there.

Chekhov's Gun: Jacen obtains a Corusca gem early in the second book, which he places in his boot. Later on in the book, he uses it to break out of his prison in the Shadow Academy. And even afterwards, he uses that gem to be the core of his lightsaber.

Fantastic Drug: Anja Gallandro's addiction to Andris spice. It was introduced in the A. C. Crispin books almost eight years before, but this is the first time we see what its use actually looks like. It's basically PCP, only it also gives the user a fever and better hand-eye coordination.

In-Universe Factoid Failure: Lusa claims that Hethrir was human. He's not — it was a major plot point in The Crystal Star that he was a Firrerreo, a near-human species (near-enough that he could easily be mistaken for one).

Determined Homesteader: Deconstructed. Everything built on the surface of Zekk's homeworld, Ennth, is destroyed in a regular, seven-year cycle by the planet's moon's elliptical orbit bringing it into the planet's atmosphere and touching off seismic cataclysms that last for an entire year, after which the inhabitants return from their space station refuges and rebuild everything from scratch. Anyone else would've moved to another planet a long time ago, and after helping the latest round of evacuations, Zekk even tells them they really ought to go somewhere else.

Early-Installment Weirdness: In this series, Jacen is generally portrayed as a cheerful, enthusiastic kid with a taste for groan-inducing puns. Starting with the New Jedi Order, that characterization would be quickly scuttled for a more brooding, melancholy disposition, with little explanation for the sudden character change.

Heel–Face Turn: Luke attempts to make Brakiss do one but fails. Zekk has one that reverses his earlier Face–Heel Turn. Qorl as well, as he ends up shooting down one of his own students who delighted in being nasty, before finally crashing again and deciding to settle down in the jungles of Yavin, this time intending it to be permanent. It isn't, as he later helps Anakin escape from Yavin 4 during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

comment
"Ass" in Ambassador: Yfra, the Hapan ambassador who's an overall jerk in her two appearances (in Shadow Academy and Lightsabers). In the second, she goes so far as to try and have Tenel Ka and her grandmother Ta'a Chume assassinated several times. With Tenel Ka's parents gone from the planet (and evidently targeted by people under Yfra's pay) she would have no problem taking power, and she actually does briefly attempt to do so when she mistakenly believes she's succeeded.

Discreet Drink Disposal: In book 2 (Shadow Academy), Luke and Tenel Ka disguise themselves and visit Shanko's Hive, a bar, to look for information. Tenel Ka orders a particular drink, but Luke warns her off it quietly because of how strong it is; she looks around for a way to dispose of it and finally dumps it into the pot of what she thinks is a decorative plant, but turns out to be a plant-based alien customer.

Keeping the Handicap: Tenel Ka loses a part of her arm due to rushing her lightsaber's construction and having it explode in her hand. She eventually refuses to get a replacement prosthetic like her teacher Luke Skywalker did as a reminder to not let her pride get the better of her, citing it was Luke's choice to do so as her grandmother is trying to force the artificial limb on her, until Tenel Ka "forcefully" destroys the prosthetic to affirm her decision.

Good Colors, Evil Colors
 Young Jedi Knights / int_c32201f6
comment
Good Colors, Evil Colors: In Lightsabers, Wrench Wench Jaina Solo decides to take handcrafting her lightsaber one step further, and chemically grows her own core crystal in a reactor chamber. She's briefly horrified when the resulting blade is Sith red, not apparently having known that this is how the Sith make their crystals, too (since a synthetic crystal has a small but non-zero chance of cutting off an opposing lightsaber blade).note This was eventually retconned by Star Wars: The Clone Wars: in current canon the Sith Mind Rape their kyber crystals (a particular type of Force-sensitive crystal rather than just any decent gemstone), because otherwise they're constantly pestered by them to turn to the light.

You Killed My Father: When she first meets Han in Return to Ord Mantell, Anja Gallandro accuses him of doing this during the events of Han Solo and the Lost Legacy (almost twenty-five years before). He didn't, and says as much, later truthfully explaining that Gallandro had entered a no-weapons zone around Xim the Despot's treasure stores and, not seeing the warning lights (which had been removed by a Ruurian named Skynx, also part of the treasure-hunting team), drew his blaster to kill Skynx. The automated security systems promptly kicked in and vaporized Gallandro.
