Jedi Academy

For the game, see Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

The Jedi Academy is a fictional training establishment in the Star Wars universe.

In 12 ABY, Luke Skywalker began the reconstruction of the Jedi Order with Force-sensitive recruits he had encountered over the years in the defeat of the Galactic Empire at Endor. The New Republic gave him Yavin 4 to use as a training facility for his new Jedi aprentices.

The Jedi Academy, or praxium was first housed in the Great Massassi Temple and had 12 original students, including Cilghal, Corran Horn, Dorsk 81, Gantoris, Kam Solusar, Kirana Ti, Streen, Tionne, and eventually Kyle Katarn, Mara Jade and Kyp Durron.

Luke has been known to leave the Academy in times of crisis to help the New Republic, leaving it in the capable hands of Streen, and later Kam and Tionne Solusar.

One of the trials the Academy came up with, was when Desann planned to use an army of reborn Jedi to invade the Academy and restore the Galactic Empire. Through his efforts, Kyle Katarn was able to stop most of the invasion and Desann.

When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Yavin 4 and destroyed the Massassi Temple, Talon Karrde and Booster Terrik helped the few Jedi Knights and the many Jedi children escape their clutches, making the Errant Venture and then the Maw as the home of the Jedi Academy.

Most of the Jedi in Luke's New Jedi Order have been trained at the Academy and learned at least somewhat directly from him. The Jedi Academy, wherever it is, tends to be a base of operations for the Jedi, and sometimes a home when they are not performing other jobs for Luke or going about their personal lives.

The Academy is visited and appears in the games Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy;;.
