A great new Star Wars series featuring the classic characters from the original trilogy of films and the further adventures of the characters from Kevin J. Anderson's bestselling Jedi Academy trilogy of novels. It is now eight years since the fall of the Emperor and the death of Darth Vader (as seen in Return of the Jedi), and Luke Skywalker has begun to seek out those with the potential to use the Force, the potential to become the protectors of the New Republic -- a new order of Jedi Knights.
