Slow in developing, it existed for a number of years as a disparate group of Force-sensitives with various degrees of training. After a first attempt to train new Knights was thwarted by the [[Palpatine/Legends|Reborn Emperor]], Luke Skywalker initiated the first formal training school for Jedi in decades—the [[Jedi Praxeum]] on [[Yavin 4/Legends|Yavin 4]]. Starting with an initial group of twelve students, the Order slowly grew in numbers and stature, becoming a core part of the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] that sponsored it. This meant it was repeatedly targeted by enemies of the Republic, such as [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Natasi Daala]], the [[Empire Reborn]], and the [[Second Imperium]]. Members of the order were involved in many of the key conflicts in the galaxy during the prime of the New Republic, including the [[Nagai–Tof War]], [[Operation Shadow Hand]], the [[Black Fleet Crisis]] and the [[Corellian Crisis]]. | Slow in developing, it existed for a number of years as a disparate group of Force-sensitives with various degrees of training.

In [[23 ABY/Legends|23 ABY]], the Jedi Order was faced with the [[Shadow Academy]] (Dark Jedi training ground founded by Brakiss) and its ally: the [[Second Imperium]] which rejected the [[Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty]] signed between the [[Imperial Remnant]] and the New Republic in [[19 ABY/Legends|19 ABY]]. The Second Imperium kidnapped Jedi trainees, including Luke's niece and nephew, [[Jaina Solo Fel|Jaina]] and [[Darth Caedus|Jacen Solo]] and their friend [[Lowbacca]], from Luke's Jedi Order and then went recruiting disadvantaged youth when that failed with the Solo twins and Lowie's rescue by the Solo's close friend [[Tenel Ka Djo|Tenel Ka]].

- "Not the last of the old Jedi, Luke. The first of the new."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Luke Skywalker
The New Jedi Order, also known simply as the Jedi Order, was the restored and reformed Jedi Order, in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge and subsequent fall of the Galactic Empire. The Jedi Knights, reduced in number to only a handful, were slowly restored, primarily under the leadership of Luke Skywalker, son of the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.
Slow in developing, it existed for a number of years as a disparate group of Force-sensitives with various degrees of training. After a first attempt to train new Knights was thwarted by the Reborn Emperor, Luke Skywalker initiated the first formal training school for Jedi in decades—the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. Starting with an initial group of twelve students, the Order slowly grew in numbers and stature, becoming a core part of the New Republic that sponsored it. This meant it was repeatedly targeted by enemies of the Republic, such as Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala, the Empire Reborn, and the Second Imperium. Members of the order were involved in many of the key conflicts in the galaxy during the prime of the New Republic, including the Nagai–Tof War, Operation Shadow Hand, the Black Fleet Crisis and the Corellian Crisis.
For its symbol, the New Jedi Order adopted the Alliance Starbird.
History
Last of the Old, First of the New (4–10 ABY)
- "When are we gonna be Jedi Knights, like you, with magic? When are you gonna teach us to use the Force?"
"I'm not, Dracos. I can't. […] The potential for abuse—if any of you turned out to have talent and learned anything without learning everything—is staggering. And I don't want to be responsible for that." - ―Dracos and Luke Skywalker discuss training in the ways of the Force
After the virtual extermination of the old Jedi Order by Emperor Palpatine, few survivors had remained; of those that did go into hiding, some abandoned the way of the Jedi while some like Rahm Kota and Dass Jennir continued to fight the Galactic Empire. Eventually, Obi-Wan Kenobi introduced a young man named Luke Skywalker to the Jedi ways. Luke would play a key role in the fall of the Emperor and the redemption of his father, Anakin Skywalker, who turned against the Jedi Order at the start of the Purge. This made Luke the primary heir to the Order.
Skywalker's first thoughts of training an apprentice came right after the Battle of Endor. During the Ssi-ruuvi invasions, Skywalker came in contact with a young Force-sensitive boy named Dev Sibwarra. After rescuing the boy from the Ssi-ruuk, Skywalker had plans to train Sibwarra as his first apprentice. During the Invasion of Bakura, Dev sustained mortal injuries and died aboard the Millennium Falcon. Due to Sibwarra's death and a growing fear that he would create the next Vader, Skywalker became reluctant to take on an apprentice.[16]

Around the time of the Nagai–Tof War, Skywalker received several requests for training from young freedom fighters who hoped to become Jedi Knights, but Skywalker's reluctance remained. He refused to train the young hopefuls on the excuse that he was not yet prepared to take on apprentices. When Luke began instructing new recruits to the Rebellion in warfare, recruits such as Kiro, Barney and the Rik Duel gang, they assumed that Luke would be teaching them to wield the Force but were disappointed when Luke refused to school them in Force techniques.[15] Luke's refusals also had a negative effect, as one of the first people to request his training, Flint, became embittered when Luke refused to train him and turned to the dark side.[17]
Luke's hesitance to take on an apprentice continued until he faced the consequences of his reluctant viewpoint. The young woman Vila came to Luke requesting training, and when Luke refused, she brought him to Naldar to help liberate the planet. On Naldar, Luke came face to face with Flint, now wielding the power of the dark side. In the subsequent battle, Vila was killed, and Flint was arrested and put into the custody of the New Republic.[15] Luke began to see that giving in to the fear of failure was not the path. Luke told the Iskalonian Kiro that he would begin to train him, but before it could begin, Kiro went MIA in the Nagai-Tof War and became disillusioned with the thought of becoming a Jedi.[18] After this rocky start, Luke put his plans for a new Jedi Order on hold.
For a number of years after this, Skywalker continued to hone his own skills as he worked as a Jedi Knight throughout the galaxy. During this time, he made a number of discoveries relating to the Jedi, on planets such as Circarpous V,[19] Toola,[20] and Dathomir, and also briefly taught Prince Isolder the basic tenets of the Force. As he was not Force-sensitive, the Prince provided a risk free student for Luke to practice on.[20] It was also during this time that Skywalker met many individuals who would eventually become members of his Jedi Order. Perhaps most notable was Kyle Katarn, whom Skywalker met in 4 ABY during the crisis of the Valley of the Jedi. Katarn already possessed a lightsaber and had some rudimentary insights into the Force, mastering Force powers such as Force speed.[21]
The rise of the cloned Palpatine shook Skywalker out of his solitary existence. As foretold by Bodo Baas's Master a thousand years earlier, this was a critical time during the history of the Jedi. Faced with a seemingly unbeatable foe, Skywalker decided to train under the Emperor in order to undermine the Empire from within. However, in doing so, Skywalker succumbed to the influence of the dark side. He was brought back to the light side by his sister, Leia Organa Solo, who also stole a precious Holocron from the Emperor. On the run from Imperial forces, Luke and Leia gathered around them a cadre of Force-sensitives that Luke began to instruct. These included the redeemed Kam Solusar, Vima-Da-Boda, the Ysanna siblings Jem and Rayf, and Great Jedi Purge survivor King Empatojayos Brand.[22]
Defeating the Emperor did not come without a price—Jem, Rayf, and Brand lost their lives, while Vima fled back into the underworld.[23] The cost to Luke was dear also – his experience under the dark side's sway would scar his soul permanently. However, he gained an appreciation of his own strength, and a deeper realization of what it would cost to return the Jedi Knights to the galaxy. This ideal, and his enhanced powers made Luke the first new Jedi Master of the reborn Jedi Order. Other gains made were the redemption of Kam and the acquisition of the Bodo Baas holocron.
Jedi Praxeum (11–18 ABY)

During the Thrawn campaign, Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared to Luke in a vision. He would no longer appear in Luke's visions, so he charged Luke with the mission of restoring the Jedi. Luke was deeply distressed at being the last of the old Jedi, but Obi-Wan's last thought came with a chuckle and a sense of calm: "Not the last of the old Jedi, Luke. The first of the new."[4]
With this encouragement, and after the cloned Emperor's defeat, Luke approached the New Republic for permission to establish a Jedi academy.[3] During his travels, he had discovered a number of Force-sensitives and finally felt ready to begin to train new Jedi. Permission was granted and a site on the historic moon Yavin 4 was selected. This first class consisted of twelve pupils with Luke as their teacher. Some of those twelve were Kam and Tionne Solusar, Kirana Ti, Dorsk 81, Streen, Gantoris,[3] Madurrin,[24] Kyle Katarn,[24] Brakiss,[25] and Corran Horn.[25] Other Jedi to join soon after were Kyp Durron, Cilghal, Mara Jade,[8] and Dal Konur.[26]
It was not long before it became apparent that not all was well at the Academy. The spirit of Exar Kun, an ancient Sith Lord, haunted some of the temples on the moon and began to influence Luke's students towards the dark side. Kun attacked Luke, forcing him into a coma, and Kyp Durron, one of the most promising students, fled the Academy in Sun Crusher, wreaking havoc on the galaxy and destroying the world of Carida.[12]
Eventually Luke was awoken and the Sith spirit was defeated by a joint Jedi offensive. The praxeum Also suffered an assault by a group of dark jedi artificially infused with the force led by Luke own fallen apprentice Desann.[27] This would be but some of many trials ahead of the fledgling Order though, with subsequent attacks directed against it by Admiral Daala,[13] the Empire Reborn, and the Second Imperium.
Growth and expansion (18–22 ABY)
- "A Jedi's greatest power comes not from size or from physical strength. It comes from understanding the Force. As part of your training you will learn to build your confidence and belief through practice."
- ―Tionne Solusar

Despite these setbacks, the Jedi Order continued to grow and to serve the galaxy. The Order was also supplemented by recruits from other Force traditions such as the Iron Knights,[29] the Jensaarai,[30] the Matukai,[6] and students from the School of Hidden Wisdom.[31] Other students were recruited in manifold ways, from the Force-natural Cheryl Trinja found on a jungle planet by a group of Republic agents and trainees,[32] to the Old Republic Jedi Knight rescued from the imprisonment of his former apprentice Winslau Da'k, on the Unknown Regions planet Morcanth.[32] New Republic Intelligence also began to report to Skywalker on possible candidates.[33]
Jedi Knights played key roles in disabling the Eye of Palpatine battlestation,[34] preventing the spread of the Death Seed plague,[35] and stopping the Disciples of Ragnos, a cult with the goal of resurrecting the Sith Lord, Marka Ragnos.[36] Finally they also took part in neutralizing Centerpoint Station in the Corellian Crisis.[37] During this period, research missions increased, with investigation on such planets as Chandrila,[36] Ossus,[38] Kamino,[38] Korriban,[39] Ruusan,[40] Barab I,[38][41] and Borgo Prime.[11] One such mission to the Deep Core resulted in the capture of a Jedi Knight. A rescue team was dispatched, which managed to trace the captors to the Imperial fortress world of Prakith, home of the Citadel Inquisitorius. Confronting Inquisitor Shynne, the team managed to safely rescue the Knight.[42] Other successes included Eelysa breaking a number of slave rings in the Outer Rim,[41] Fahjay stopping an assassination attempt against Admiral Gial Ackbar.[43]
Discoveries of Jedi relics, such as Jedi armor on Garn,[44] lightsabers on Ossus,[22] Asli Krimsan's holocron on Vjun[11] and Arca Jeth's holocron on Arkania[10] added to the Order's knowledge of ancient Jedi practices. Many of these would be implemented, such as pairing up Masters to apprentices and the formation of Jedi clans.[2] Not all practices were assimilated, though, such as the Jedi prohibition on marriage, seeing as it was a marriage that was hidden (between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala) that destroyed the Old Jedi Order in the first place. Instead the new Order allowed marriage, even conducting Jedi ceremonies for Tionne and Kam Solusar.
Junior Jedi Academy (22–25 ABY)
After his wedding, Luke Skywalker altered the instruction schedule of his Yavin training center to accommodate the training of younger students. In doing so, he was inspired by his former Master, Yoda, who'd taught him that younger students were easier to train.[24] To this end, he established a Junior Jedi Academy in 22 ABY.[45] On that same year, Jedi trainees Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila discovered the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit and freed the trapped Massassi souls within the Golden Globe, a dark side device created by the Dark Lord Exar Kun in 3997 BBY to drain the souls of the trapped Massassi to fuel his powers.[46] These two Jedi along with Tionne Solusar, Uldir Lochett and R2-D2 also discovered the holocron of the ancient Jedi Asli Krimsan at Bast Castle on Vjun,[11] and Kenobi's lightsaber[47] and thwarted Orloc's attempts to start his own Jedi Order.

In 23 ABY, the Jedi Order was faced with the Shadow Academy (Dark Jedi training ground founded by Brakiss) and its ally: the Second Imperium which rejected the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty signed between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic in 19 ABY. The Second Imperium kidnapped Jedi trainees, including Luke's niece and nephew, Jaina and Jacen Solo and their friend Lowbacca, from Luke's Jedi Order and then went recruiting disadvantaged youth when that failed with the Solo twins and Lowie's rescue by the Solo's close friend Tenel Ka. The Second Imperium was led by four Imperial Guards masquerading as Emperor Palpatine. During an assault on the Jedi Praxeum, the Second Imperium and the Shadow Academy were defeated by Luke's Jedi trainees, thus removing an obstacle to the New Jedi Order.[48]
In 24 ABY, the Jedi Order encountered the alien-supremacist anti-Human Diversity Alliance which sought to punish the Human species for the atrocities of the New Order. The Diversity Alliance attempted to stockpile weapons and locate the location of the Emperor's Plague warehouse for their war against Humans. However, they too would be defeated by the Jedi.[49] This was followed by Czethros's attempts to return the crime syndicate Black Sun to its former glory and dominate the galaxy. However, he too was defeated by the Jedi.[50]
Learning and teaching the ways of the Force
Philosophies
- "I don't believe the training of a true Jedi comes from listening to lectures. I want to teach you how to learn action, how to do things, not just think about them. There is no try."
- ―Luke Skywalker

In the new Jedi Order, emphasis was placed on learning through experience. While formal classes were held, students were also asked to establish their own training programs, developing their own individual approaches to the Force. Initially, not all students were satisfied with this model, most notably Corran Horn who eventually left the Order (only to return some time later).
Luke Skywalker oversaw the teaching, but did also delegate teaching responsibilities to students onto so-called Jedi Trainers who were specifically skilled at certain areas. Thus, for example Kam Solusar would instruct his fellow students in lightsaber combat in the early days of the New Jedi Order, while Corran Horn, who used to be a law enforcer with CorSec would teach unarmed combat and self-defense. Tionne Solusar would specialize in Jedi lore and pass on her knowledge to her fellow students.

With time there were enough skilled Jedi Knights, and some Jedi Masters, in the new order to start approximating the Master-Padawan model of the Old Order. However, since there were still only few members of the New Order, Masters would be assigned multiple students. In accordance with the learning-by-doing principle, students would accompany Masters on missions to gain experience and they would sometimes be sent on missions on their own. One student who benefited particularly much from this model, was Jaden Korr who was apprenticed to Katarn. Katarn's other student, Rosh Penin, however was unhappy with this model, and was once heard complaining to a fellow Jedi student that he felt his talents were not fostered and that he felt Katarn was holding him back. Korr rose to become one of the most skilled Knights of the New Order while Penin turned to the dark side, but was eventually redeemed, having learned a lesson about patience.
The teachings of the New Order differed from those of the Old in several ways, and were closer to those practiced by the Jedi before the Great Sith War. Jedi were allowed to marry and have families, and each Jedi Master could train multiple apprentices. Jedi were allowed to use conventional weapons and armor besides their lightsabers, and the wearing of the Jedi robes, while popular, was no longer mandatory. For a long time, the Order was also much less centrally controlled, with each Jedi being given much greater personal freedom and responsibility.
Lightsaber construction
- "Dual-phase blades seem to be something of a fad among Jedi at certain points."
- ―Luke Skywalker
The construction of lightsabers in the new Order differed from that of the old in many ways. Luke Skywalker discovered records in Obi-Wan Kenobi's hut on Tatooine on how to construct lightsabers that he used himself, and would later introduce to his students. Some other techniques were also recovered by the Jedi, sometimes in less than desirable ways. The malevolent spirit of Exar Kun guided Gantoris in making a dual-phase lightsaber, capable of extending dramatically in length when secondary crystals aligned. Skywalker discovered this, almost at the cost of his life, when the rogue student challenged him to a lightsaber duel.[8] Corran Horn constructed a similar lightsaber independently, using a process obtained from his step-grandfather, Rostek Horn.[25] Occasionally, exceptional students, such as Jaden Korr, were able to construct lightsabers on their own, without formal instruction.[36] Luke Skywalker also constructed a shorter lightsaber, known as a shoto, to fight Lumiya during the Nagai-Tof War.[18] This was designed to counteract the dual nature of her weapon, known as a lightwhip. Skywalker kept this weapon for many years, and taught other Jedi Masters, such as his wife Mara, how to construct them.[51]

One problem faced by the new Jedi Order was a shortage of high quality crystals, such as was available to the old Jedi Order. Sacred sites such as Ilum or the Adega system were lost to the Jedi and so other sources had to be sought out, with accompanying danger. Imperial Advisor Bregius Golthan once tried to lure Skywalker into a trap on the planet Canyon, claiming a source of adequate crystals had been found. However, Luke sent NRI agents in his stead, who managed to escape the trap.[52] On another occasion, Skywalker traveled to the planet Halm to recover some adegan crystals from its famous mines. There, he was forced to fight off Imperial opposition who were also after the crystals.[53] The lack of a single substantial source of lightsaber crystals resulted in a greater variety types used, and consequently, greater blade coloration. Some of the unusual sources included a shard of the Kaiburr crystal used in Luke Skywalker's saber,[24] Gallinorean rainbow gems from a Hapan tiara in Tenel Ka's saber,[54] Corusca gems from the gas giant Yavin used in those of Gantoris[8] and Jacen Solo,[54] and a synthetically manufactured crystal used in Jaina Solo's saber[54]—making use of a process once considered to be a Sith technique.
Furthermore, Jedi were encouraged to make their handles more personal, reflecting both their personalities and their upbringing. Examples of this included Cilghal's, which was silvery and smooth, with subtle indentations common among Mon Calamari technology,[13] Tionne's, that used a spiral mist-horn,[11] and that of Tenel Ka, which was fashioned from a rancor tooth.[54] An odd example of this diversity was Corran Horn's first saber, constructed in haste from the throttle of a speeder bike.[25]

Lightsaber training
- "You are learning to focus on precision rather than brute strength, to anticipate my moves and your own reactions using the Force."
- ―Tionne Solusar
Following the Great Jedi Purge, many of the old lightsaber forms used by the old Jedi Order were lost and Luke had received little in the way of formal training. However, with the foundation of the Jedi academy on Yavin 4 and the first intake of students, the path to rediscovering these began. Kam Solusar taught the first students the basic principals of fencing, possibly elements of Shii-Cho, upon which all lightsaber combat is based. More specifically, he taught them the three rings of defense.[25]
Along with Kam's own knowledge, there may have been additional teachings from the Jensaarai, their founders being Jedi Knights and Padawans who would likely still have knowledge on the original lightsaber forms used by the Jedi of old. Add to this the knowledge gained by Kyle Katarn, who had been instructed in fencing while he studied at the academy on Carida and was later taught lightsaber combat by the spirits of Qu Rahn and Tal, and by 14 ABY the order had developed its own styles of combat, complete with their own Katas and maneuvers. Divided into Medium style, Fast style and Strong style, the forms of combat which were finally developed and refined seem to be an amalgamation of the old and the new, further bridging the old Jedi Order with the new. By 14 ABY, the Academy also introduced some training sabers, although students such as Rosh Penin derided their use.[36] By 35 ABY, students who had constructed their first Lightsabers were usually just known as apprentices. The original Jedi lightsaber forms were eventually rediscovered, knowledge on them recorded by Cin Drallig being present in the Great Holocron.[9]
Jedi installations across the galaxy
- Yavin 4 Praxeum; the main training facility from 11 ABY through to its destruction in 26 ABY. This location also contained the Yavin training grounds.
- Coruscant Jedi Headquarters; an administrative facility in the heart of the Republic, a smaller Jedi facility was maintained here. Another Jedi training facility was established on the Coruscant moon, Centax-2.
Jedi Order affiliated ships

To function adequately across the galaxy, the Jedi Order needed a number of starships to deliver its Knights into position. These ships came from a number of sources: some the New Republic supplied, others were donated or acquired from private sources. Celador Sash was one such freighter, gifted by a trader once saved by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally, other ships were privately owned but were closely tied with the workings of the Jedi Order, such as Millennium Falcon and Errant Venture.
