## Biography

### Early Life

Ben Skywalker was born on July 19, 2026 on the world of Ossus. His parents were Luke Skywalker and Kelly Adams Skywalker, two of the most powerful Force users of their time. Inheriting both the strength of the Skywalker bloodline and the strength of his mother, Ben was an incredibly powerful Force sensitive, with some thinking his potential in the Force even surpassed that of his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker.

#### Jedi Training

Ben was raised on Ossus from his birth. When he was just 2 years old, his parents began teaching him basics on how to use the Force. By age 12, when he began formal Jedi training, Ben was capable of amazing feats in the Force.

At age 12, Ben began his formal Jedi training, using a lightsaber Luke had recovered that once belonged to a Jedi of the old Order. Ben showed a natural affinity for the ways of the Jedi. He also showed natural skill as a pilot, just like his father and grandfather. He was also educated in common education topics on Earth by his mother.

In 2042, when Ben had just turned 16, he left Ossus with his mother for a routine trip back to Earth to visit his mother's family and so his mother could meet with some leaders of the Terran Alliance. However, during the trip, his cousin, Jacen Solo, who had been influenced towards the dark side by the being known as Snoke, finally committed himself to the dark side and destroyed Luke's Jedi Temple on Ossus. Jacen also slaughtered most of the members of the New Jedi Order. The sole survivors who managed to escape were Luke, Jacen's twin sister Jaina, a Padawan named Grogu, and a Master named Kyle Katarn. All four survivors disappeared immediately after the incident.

Ben was heavily affected by his cousin's turn to the dark side and his father's disappearance. However, he forced himself to remain strong in order to support his mother. His determination to help his mother helped him deal with the incident and his father's disappearance.

Ben continued his Jedi training under his mother. At the start of 2044, at age 17, Ben was accepted to college at an earlier age due to his incredible intelligence. Despite being in college he continued his Jedi training.

On his 18th birthday, at his birthday party at his grandparents' home, Ben received an important gift when his grandfather, Samuel Adams, gifted Ben his lightsaber that he had wielded since 1991. Taking up his grandfather's lightsaber as his own, Ben petitioned to take the trials. His wish was granted, and he received the rank of Jedi Knight.

For the following years, Ben continued training himself, focusing especially on lightsaber combat, while also continuing to attend college at West Virginia University. He also showed skill in country dancing like many of his mother's family.

In 2049, Ben graduated from WVU with a double major in International Studies and Physics, with a minor in History. By this time, he had also grown to become one of the most powerful Jedi of his era, on par with his father and growing stronger.
