Book Blurb

Luke Skywalker has come to a grim conclusion. With the threat of a new generation of Dark Jedi being trained at the Shadow Academy, he knows the New Republic will need all the fighters it can muster. At last, it is time for the young Jedi Knights to build their lightsabers.

But there is more to mastering the ancient weapon than mere swordsmanship. Each student must learn about the mysterious bond between Jedi and lightsaber. For Jacen and Jaina, success will mean growing stronger in the Force. But for one of their friends, failure will mean tragedy...

Plot

Luke Skywalkers Jedi Academy is going to face the Dark Jedi Knights. First, every member of the New Jedi Academy must make their own lightsabers.

Tenel Ka, a friend of Jacen and Jaina Solo, crafts her handle out of a tooth, but she is in a hurry and doesn't concentrate on the making her blade of good quality. Consequently while she is dueling with Jacen Solo, (the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia) her blade gives out and Jacen's blade cuts off her arm.

Tenel Ka then heads home to her grandmother. Jacen, Jaina, and Lowbacca go after her. She learns how to cope with one hand, rebuilds her lightsaber, and goes back to the Jedi Academy.
