Jaden Korr

Jaden Korr was a Force-sensitive individual from Coruscant. Ten years after the Battle of Endor, Jaden was heading to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, having achieved a feat thought impossible; the creation of a lightsaber with no prior knowledge or aid.

In the shuttle on the way to the academy, Jaden met Rosh Penin, and the two eventually developed a friendship.

As the shuttle approached the surface, it was shot down by members of the Sith cult, the Disciples of Ragnos. Jaden investigated, and was soon knocked out by a blast from a mysterious sceptre.

Upon awakening, Jaden met with Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker, who welcomed him to the academy. Shortly after this, Jaden and Rosh were assigned to Kyle as pupils, and they passed through a training course on Yavin to familiarise themselves with their Force abilities. On the way, Rosh set a lightsaber practise droid upon Jaden, in the hope of slowing him down so he could 'win the race'. Kyle berated heavily for this, stating that it was not only not a race, but that the droid could have killed Jaden had it been set to Master Skywalker's training regimen.

Soon, Jaden and Rosh were sent on a series of missions, helping to track down the Disciples of Ragnos. Jaden visited various worlds, including Blenjeel, Corellia, Tatooine, and Bakura. Eventually, Rosh Penin was captured during a mission, and so the Jedi were instructed to work in pairs in the future. Luke had discovered the Disciples of Ragnos were siphoning Force energy from various places strong in the Force, and so Kyle and Jaden were assigned to investigate Darth Vader's old fortress on Vjun.

Fighting his way through the fortress, Jaden came across members from the Cult of Ragnos, finally confronting none other than Rosh Penin, who had turned to the Dark Side following his capture. He boasted of the power of the Dark side to Jaden, and, along with two other cultists, engaged him in battle. Jaden was able to kill the two cultists and overpower Rosh as he lay disarmed on the floor. Kyle entered the room, and Tavion chose that moment to appear, declaring her part in the Cult of Ragnos. Escaping from Vjun, Kyle and Jaden returned to the academy, where Jaden was promoted to the status of Jedi Knight. Jaden built a new lightsaber after that and became very strong in the Force. Jaden contined to work on stopping the ever growing cult, the Disiples of Ragnos. Jaden once again confronted Rosh, this time turning him back to the Light side. Flying to the Sith world of Korriban, he joined a Jedi strike force to stop the cult. He succeeded in reaching the tomb of Marka Ragnos and confronted Tavion, who revived and was possessed by the Sith lord. Jaden was able to overpower her, and destroyed the sceptre, removing Ragnos from the world of the living. Tavion died as Ragnos left her body, and Jaden sealed the tomb, joining Luke and Kyle on the steps of the mausoleum. They proclaimed him to be a true Jedi Knight.

Following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Jaden assisted Jan Ors in her hunt to locate Kyle Katarn, who had vanished while searching for missing Jedi Daye Azur-Jamin.

Behind the Scenes
Two possible endings exist for Jaden. The Light side is detailed above for the sake of reference, and the Dark side is as follows;

Jaden meets Rosh for a second time, this time striking down his former friend in cold blood. He then slays Tavion's apprentice, Alora, before defeating Tavion herself in the tomb of Ragnos. He then flees from his former master, Kyle Katarn, and takes control of the Star Destroyer orbiting Korriban.

It is not clear which ending is canonical, although the reference of Dark Forces saga points that Jaden remained to the light. Same applies for the very nature of Jaden: The sprite is customised by the player, and so can be a male or female, human, Twi'lek, Rodian, Zabrak or Kel Dor. For simplicity reasons, Jaden is referred above as a male.

The female Jaden is voiced by Jennifer Hale, the same actor who voiced Bastila Shan in both Knights of the Old Republic games.

Jaden was originally going to be called Atton Rand, and that name was later reused in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
