Jaden Korr ' s first lightsaber Jaden Korr ' s lightsaber was a weapon constructed by Jedi Knight Jaden Korr in 14 ABY . History . Creation . In 14 ABY Jaden constructed this purple - bladed lightsaber in his Uncle ' s workshop while in a dreamlike state . He showed off the lightsaber to a surprised Orn , who immediately contacted the local authorities , and had him enlisted in the Jedi Praxeum on the moon Yavin 4 within two days . First encounter with the Disciples of Ragnos . During the ride , he met Rosh Penin , who was very impressed with Korr ' s lightsaber and proceeded to ask him how he got it . Before Jaden could answer , their shuttle was shot down by members of the Disciples of Ragnos cult as it approached the surface . After the crash , Korr and Penin were separated from the rest of the students and proceeded to the nearby Massassi temple , Korr used his lightsaber to cut a few trees down to make bridges and they fought several howlers . Eventually they ran into some stormtroopers and a member of the cult . After Korr defeated the cultist he investigated the temple . He saw three figures , one of which was holding a glowing scepter ; they were later revealed to be the Kothos twins and Tavion Axmis using the scepter to drain the Force from the temple . However , Jaden ' s eavesdropping efforts were detected , and the mysterious figures turned on him , knocking him out . Jedi apprentice . Upon awakening , Jaden met with Jedi Masters Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker , who welcomed their new student to the academy and questioned him about what he saw . Shortly afterward , he and Rosh were assigned to Kyle as pupils , and they passed their standard Force abilities course . On the way , Rosh set loose a lightsaber practice droid upon Jaden in the hope of slowing him down so he could finish the course first , but Jaden defeated the droid . After the training , Kyle admonished Rosh heavily for this careless decision , stating that it was not a competition and that if the droid had been set to Skywalker ' s training module , it would ' ve killed Jaden . Feeling guilty , Penin apologized for the incident . Jaden was angry that Rosh could do such a thing , but Kyle warned him not to feed his anger , and Jaden accepted Rosh ' s apology . Korr and Penin were sent on a series of missions , helping to track down the growing cult . Jaden visited various worlds , including Blenjeel , Corellia , Tatooine , Chandrila and Bakura . Although Katarn went with Jaden on most of his missions , due to unexpected events , all of Jaden ' s missions were more hazardous than expected . Through them all , Jaden kept a cool head and came out on top . Later , Master Skywalker summoned all available Jedi to inform them that — during the downed shuttle crisis — someone had sliced into his records and stolen his journal containing names of places where he had found a very strong connection to the Force . Worried of what the slicer could be planning , he sent the Jedi to various places mentioned in his journal . Jaden went to Hoth , where Master Skywalker had had a vision of Obi - Wan Kenobi shortly before the Battle of Hoth . Upon landing on the planet , Korr couldn ' t sense anything out of place there , but as soon as he started investigating , he found that the Imperials were guarding Echo Base . Jaden infiltrated the base and overheard a Sith Cultist talking on a comlink to Alora , Tavion Axmis ' s apprentice , about Skywalker having traveled to Dagobah after the battle . Korr defeated the Cultist and confronted Alora . The two engaged in a lightsaber duel , and were at first evenly matched . After Jaden began to gain the upper hand , Alora escaped through a caved - in section of Echo Base , taunting Jaden as she left . The accounts were documented in Korr and Katarn ' s datacard report entitled Tauntaun Feathers A1 . Rosh was captured during his mission to Byss , and Katarn spent time looking for him . Jaden , now promoted to Apprentice , worked on more missions , until Master Skywalker assigned the Jedi to investigate other strong Force sensitive places that weren ' t mentioned in his journals . The Jedi students were instructed to work in pairs because of Rosh ' s capture . Kyle and Jaden were assigned to investigate Darth Vader ' s Bast Castle on Vjun . Katarn and Korr infiltrated the fortress , but soon after became separated . Alone and ahead of Kyle , Jaden fought his way through the fortress , finally confronting none other than Rosh Penin in Vader ' s throne room . Rosh had turned to the dark side following his capture . He boasted of the power of the dark side to Jaden , and — along with the Kothos twins — engaged him in battle . The battle seemed impossible to win , as the twins kept empowering Rosh with life energy . However , Jaden killed the Twins , hoping that Rosh would stand down without their influence . Nevertheless , Rosh kept on fighting , causing Jaden ' s anger towards him to build again . After Jaden defeated Penin , Katarn reached the room . As Rosh lay disarmed on the floor , Tavion chose that moment to appear , declaring her part in the Cult . After rebuking Katarn , Tavion ripped Jaden ' s lightsaber from him with the Force , threw it at the heavy ceiling and brought the weakened ceiling down on the Jedi with the Scepter of Ragnos , knocking away Jaden ' s lightsaber in the process . Thanks to Katarn ' s quick thinking , Korr was able to use Katarn ' s lightsaber to cut a hole in the floor for both to escape while Kyle held up the tremendously heavy rubble with the Force . Unfortunately , Tavion and Rosh fled . Kyle and Jaden returned to the academy and reported what they discovered and about Tavion . Jaden came up with the theory that Tavion might be using the scepter ' s power to not only absorb Force energy , but to also discharge the energy to empower and corrupt her followers , which Katarn and Skywalker found highly possible . Skywalker , impressed with Jaden ' s actions , promoted the young student to the status of Jedi Knight . Nevertheless , Kyle warned Jaden that he felt Jaden ' s anger towards Rosh , and despite being a Jedi Knight , he must still be aware of giving in to the dark side . Recovery . At some point after the Disciples of Ragnos Crisis , Jaden recovered his lightsaber from Bast Castle and continued to carry it . In 41 . 5 ABY he used the lightsaber to kill the clone Alpha grown from Kam Solusar ' s DNA . He later gave this lightsaber to his first apprentice Marr Idi - Shael .
