Morgan Katarn Morgan Katarn was a Force - sensitive Human male who was close friends with Jedi Master Qu Rahn , a leader in the Rebel Alliance , and the father of Kyle Katarn . Biography . Early life . During childhood , Morgan often used his Force power to entertain his younger sister . He became reluctant to use the Force , however , when a Force Push led to the accidental death of a bully . He was an agro - mech craftsman and a self - taught roboticist ; he constructed his home droid WeeGee . Later life . As a farmer , a faulty BT - 16 perimeter droid killed his wife Patricia . Despite Morgan ' s allegiance to the Rebellion , he sent his son Kyle Katarn to the Imperial Academy on Carida in hopes of giving him a proper education . Morgan in the meantime learned the location of the mythical Valley of the Jedi , situated at an ancient battle site on the planet Ruusan , a source of almost unlimited power ; it brought him in the path of the Jedi Qu Rahn , who was looking for it . Morgan had been entrusted with the lightsaber of his Jedi friend , which he placed within a hidden compartment in the family ' s homemade droid , WeeGee . Along with this , Morgan created a holorecording for his son Kyle that only the droid could decode . It told Kyle of his Jedi potential and of the importance of protecting the location of the Valley of the Jedi , as well as entrusting Rahn ' s Lightsaber to him . Morgan Katarn had put a complex map of Ruusan on the roof of his home believing that nobody would notice its existence . Jerec was interested in whatever information Katarn possessed , and ordered the Ghost Battalion to capture him alive . Led by Lieutenant Brazack and disguised as Rebels , the Battalion launched a raid on Sulon . They killed the Danga family and burned the Katarn homestead , but Morgan avoided capture as he was absent . He returned during the assault and secretly recorded the attack with his electrobinoculars before the soldiers left which he presented shortly later in a Rebel meeting ; Katarn and Skorg Jameson considered they were an attempt to attack the G - Tap , to force the population of Sulon to depend on SoroSuub Corporation and , by extension , pay taxes to the Empire . Morgan ' s death . In an attack on Barons Hed by Imperial forces , again masquerading as Rebels , Morgan was captured and brought aboard the " Vengeance " by Jerec who interrogated and then beheaded him with a vibroblade . Morgan ' s head was then placed on a spike outside the walls of Barons Hed . This led Kyle to despise the Rebellion . Only when Jan Ors revealed the truth did Kyle follow in his father ' s footsteps and desert the Empire . What Jerec did not know at this time was the map to the Valley of the Jedi within the roof of his homestead . He later found the map after forcing the information from the mind of Qu Rhan . Morgan appeared as a Force ghost — speaking to Luke Skywalker about the Valley of the Jedi and then later to his son Kyle , at the Valley itself . Behind the scenes .
