Description

This is one of the reoccurring characters from my Star Wars Fanfiction series: Star Wars: The Shadow Wars. The series is currently between "Seasons."

Note: The information below is from my own universe which is a blend of old and new canon and it not to be considered canon in any other universe but mine. I should also mention that this character is canon (at least Legacy Canon) but its history is significantly different as far as my universe is concerned.

It should be noted that Wookiepedia lists Jaden's birth date as 1 ABY and that the events of Jedi Academy take place in 14 ABY. That would make Jaden only 13 years old in 14 ABY. To that end, in my universe, I've altered his birth year to 3 BBY, making him at least 17 at the time of Jedi Academy.

The image was acquired via Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Academy's Multiplayer Custom Character creator.

Name: Jaden Korr
Race: Human
Homeworld: Coruscant
Born: 3 BBY
Died: 28 ABY (Yavin IV, aged 31)
Occupation: Jedi Master, Member of the Jedi High Council
Affiliations: The New Jedi Order, The New Galactic Republic

"Jaden was one of my first two Padawans. He was strong in the Force. Brave, smart, and skilled with a lightsaber. Probably the closest thing to a lightsaber expert since Huyang the Architect of the Old Order. I and many in the Jedi Order were proud to call him a friend. Now he is One with the Force, and may the Force be with us in these dark times." - Kyle Katarn during Jaden's funeral in 28 ABY.

Jaden Korr was the first Padawan trained to knighthood by Jedi Master Kyle Katarn. He specialized in constructing lightsabers and studying their various designs. It was his constructing a lightsaber on his own that caught the attention of the Jedi Order. His original lightsaber was later destroyed during the Disciples of Ragnos incident that propelled him into Knighthood but was replaced with a pair of blue and green bladed lightsabers. After being knighted and with the Disciples of Ragnos defeated, Jaden took over training his friend Rosh Penin who had briefly brushed with the Dark Side. Although technically Master and Apprentice, the two were easily more akin to brothers, a bond which Anakin Skywalker once mused as being similar to the bond he once shared with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Jaden worked closely with the academy's resident historian, Master Tionne Solusar, to catalogue a wide array of lightsabers from multiple eras. Lightsabers including the spinning double bladed lightsabers of the Imperial Inquisitors, the Lightsaber of Obi-Wan Kenobi and numerous other Clone War and Old Republic era lightsabers, the vast collection of lightsabers provided by the Neti Jedi Master Ood Bnar, and even had the honor of cataloguing the lightsaber Anakin Skywalker wielded during his years as Darth Vader, although this lightsaber and those wielded by confirmed Sith Lords were locked away in the temple holocron vaults where only members of the Jedi Council could enter.

Perhaps the most notable find of Korr's efforts was the lightsaber wielded by Jedi Council Member Mace Windu. Windu's lightsaber had been confiscated by the Empire after Windu's death and Palpatine had ordered the lightsaber stashed inside his private vault. When the vault was raided by the Zann Consortium shortly after the Emperor's death, Jaden tracked down the lightsaber to a wannabe Dark Jedi and recovered it. Masters Anakin Skywalker and K'Kruhk both confirmed the lightsaber to be Windu's.

By 28 ABY, Jaden had been serving on the Jedi Council and was in the process of training Tahiri Velia as his Padawan. He was notified of Tahiri's sudden disappearance and correctly deduced that she had stowed away with Jedi Knights Kento Marek, Jacen and Jaina Solo, and Jedi Master K'Kruhk on a mission to investigate a possible Sith Cult. While waiting for her to return, Jaden and Rosh both encountered Master Rahm Kota on one of the academy landing platforms when the Sith launched their surprise attack on Yavin IV. Jaden ordered Rosh to assist with the evacuation while he and Rahm managed to defeat an entire landing craft of Dark Jedi and Sith Troopers and then cleared the pad of the lander to allow the Rogue Shadow to land. However the Rogue Shadow was damaged by an RPG fired from Sith Troopers charging the platform and veered off violently. Although Jaden and Rahm managed to repel the Sith forces from the platform, they were soon confronted by Darth Stalker, one of the Sith Lords. Jaden fought valiantly but was killed by Stalker who took his lightsabers as trophies along with the lightsabers of several other Jedi including Rahm Kota's.

Jaden's body was recovered by the Jedi Order not long after the battle and was cremated on Ossus in true Jedi Fashion. Rosh and Tahiri both seek to recover Jaden's lightsabers from Darth Stalker. Jaden's vacant seat on the Jedi Council was filled by Jedi Master T'ra Saa after she emerged from hiding on Anzat. Tahiri's training was briefly put on hold and Tahiri was assigned to a group of "orphaned" Padawans whose Masters had been killed in the attack on Yavin, a group known as the Padawan Pack. The Pack lasted for roughly a month before the pack was dissolved and the members assigned new Masters. Tahiri was placed under the tutelage of her friend, Jedi Knight Jacen Solo.

Although Jaden wielded two lightsabers, he stood with a number of Jedi Knights and Masters who advocated that Jedi should also know how to use a blaster in case of emergency. As such, Jaden always carried a blaster pistol in addition to his lightsabers. Other blaster toting Jedi include Mara Jade Skywalker, Kyle Katarn (who still carries his famous Bryar pistol, and Jedi Master X2. Luke has been known to keep his old blaster pistol from his days in the Rebellion and Kento Marek, while not always carrying a blaster, knows how to use one.

Truth be told my fem human Jaden Korr was 14 years old when she crash-landed on the frozen world of Ilum on her way home from her class field trip. 
While the teachers and adolescents were waiting for help to arrive, They took refuge within the abandoned temple.

That night as everyone slept, Jaden awoke to the calm strange sound calling to her from deep within cave.  She looked and saw a light shining from the cavern, beckoning her to come.

Within a dream-like state, The young girl rose from her sleeping bag  and calmly and quietly approached the cave.

Jaden  went deeper within the caves she felt it's tingling sensaiton Then she saw the glowing crystals from big and small, and were blue, green, purple and white.

She carefully approached the formations and touched the green crystal that called to her and felt the strong energy surge not only from it, but within herself also. 

Jaden picked the white and the purple that spoke to her.

She then found pieces of metal and slowly recited the mantra as she contructed her lightsaber with no force training.

When morning came, Jaden woke up and found out that the rescue ships came to save the class from the cold planet.

At first, Jaden thought that the whole crystal cave scene was only a dream.

But when she got back home with her grandparents, She was tired and unpacking her things when her lightsaber fell out of her bag.

She picked it up and realised that she had indeed built it within the cave.

Jaden hid the weapon somewhere where her grandparents could find it.

It was five years later on her 19th birthday, Jaden was out with two friends on her birth planet
Coruscant when a group of thugs attacked them.

She defended herself and her friends while deflecting the blaster bolts.

Little did she knew, one jedi witnessed the whole scene, and reported to the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4.

Jedi master Luke Skywalker was told about young woman with no force training, fend off her attackers.

As the rest of the story goes, She was discovered to have a strong force potential and was enrolled into the Academy and came under tutorage of a well-known mercenary-turned Jedi Master Kyle Katarn alongside her fellow apprentice and friend Rosh Penin.
