Kyle Jackson

Kyle Jackson was a Force-Sensitive human male who lived in the City of Philadelphia until he was murdered in 2032 by LaShonda McCutchen who Jackson fathered a son named Shaun with. Kyle worked as a Music Teacher at a high school in West Philadelphia that also employed Jedi Knight Darius Carpenter under the supervision of Greg Washington. During the 2031-2032 School Year, his path crossed with Shaun's as Shaun had signed up for music lessons and Kyle quickly noticed the features the two shared and told Shaun that he might be the teen's father. One day after a music lesson, Shaun accidentally left a book needed to complete a homework assignment behind and Kyle brought it to Shaun's home where he encountered Eugene Marsden. The two men had a friendly chat about Shaun with Eugene admitting that if Kyle was proven to be Shaun's father, it would get Shaun away from LaShonda who was pushing Shaun to be a drug dealer although Eugene admitted to dealing which Kyle didn't really care about as marijuana is legal in Pennsylvania for both recreational and medical purposes. Kyle and Eugene agreed to meet later that night to discuss Shaun unaware that LaShonda had heard everything. At the meeting, LaShonda confronted Kyle before shooting him dead. Kyle's body was discovered the next day and his murder investigated by Detectives Tyrell Jenkins and Chloe Allen of the Philadelphia Police until they discovered that Jackson worked at the same school as Jedi Knight Carpenter and brought the matter to the attention of the Remnant which already had Eugene under investigation as a drug dealer.
Eventually, both Eugene and LaShonda were arrested for Kyle's murder among other charges and a paternity test conducted which revealed that Kyle was in fact Shaun's father. As more details about the case came out, Assistant U.S. Attorney Shirley Forbes allowed Eugene to plead guilty to reduced charges and took LaShonda who was revealed to have murdered three other people to trial with Shaun and Eugene as her main witnesses. The Jury hearing the case took very little time in deciding to not only convict LaShonda of four murders among other charges, but also to give her the Death Penalty wrapping the case up a week before Shaun's High School Graduation. At the ceremony, a picture of Kyle was placed near Shaun's assigned seat and Kyle's spirit also appeared alongside the spirits of Kanan Jarrus, Mace Windu, Bryan Khayman, Ahsoka Tano, and Yoda which were visible to Darius Carpenter who had taken over much of Kyle's duties with the school's Music Department, but also to Shaun, Jacen Syndulla, and Little Darius Banks. During which Kyle went into his "Teacher Mode" and told Bryan to stop arguing with Kanan over Ahsoka being snippy with Bryan.
The next week, Jedi Master Michael Myers arrived in Philadelphia to screen Shaun and Little Darius who had come to view Shaun as a surrogate father even calling Shaun "Daddy" after finding out that Shaun had begun dating Keisha Banks for possible inclusion in the Jedi Order of Earth using various screening tools with Shaun also being able to inform those present about a shootout involving Christopher Felth. Kyle later spoke to Kanan that night about how Shaun had lost his original family, but had been welcomed into three new families over the past few months. Kyle later looked in on Eric Schuyler and Jason Oliver knowing that the two had also played a part in bringing him justice and exposing LaShonda for the monster that she was.
