True Jedi Order

The **True Jedi Order**, simply known as the **New Jedi Order** or **Jedi Order**, was a new generation of Jedi that was built by the famous Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker who was once the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Constructed around the year 15 ABY, ten years after the First Galactic Civil War ended, Luke Skywalker promised himself from Grand Master Yoda of the Old Jedi Order to pass what he had learned, and train and recruit a large number of individuals who were connected to the Force. After the First Galactic Empire dissolved into various remnants as a result of their defeat, allowing the Rebel Alliance to rise as the New Galactic Republic. Under the new era, Luke Skywalker endeavored to rebuild the Order by training a new generation of Jedi. Among Skywalker's students was his nephew, Ben Solo, the son of his twin sister, Princess Leia Organa, and the famed smuggler Han Solo. However, Ben was seduced by the dark side at the coaxing of Snoke, an enigmatic figure who spearheaded the Imperial-inspired First Order. As a result, Ben adopted the name and persona of Kylo Ren, a First Order warlord and master of the Knights of Ren.

The new generation of Jedi was betrayed and destroyed by Kylo Ren, who left the Jedi Temple burning by the time Luke recovered from the attack. Feeling responsible for Ben's fall and the massacre of his apprentices, he went into exile and disappeared from the galaxy, leaving only traces of his location on a star map. The First Order and the Resistance Reborn both sought to acquire the map, but ultimately it was the latter that succeeded due to the actions of the Jakku scavenger Rey. She followed the map to the planet Ahch-To, where the last Jedi had taken refuge in the first Jedi Temple. Luke was still stricken by grief and believing his return would only cause more problems. He was also reluctant to train Rey or another generation of Jedi. However, the last Jedi eventually returned to the fight, buying time for the Resistance Reborn to escape the siege of Crait led by Kylo Ren, who became the new Supreme Leader after killing his master, Snoke. Luke became one with the Force after exerting a great amount of energy to project himself across the galaxy to face his fallen nephew, but not before acknowledging that he would not be the last Jedi. His heroic tale spread across the galaxy, inspiring others and giving hope in a time of rising darkness.

Having returned from death, Darth Sidious urged Kylo Ren to end the Jedi Order by killing Rey, who was his granddaughter. After Ren renounced the dark side, Sidious attempted to turn Rey until he discovered her bond with Ben Solo. Realizing they were a dyad in the Force, Sidious nearly drained them of their life force to regain his full power. Though weakened by Sidious' attack, Rey was strengthened by the spirits of past Jedi, allowing the apprentice to stand against the Dark Lord of the Sith. She destroyed her grandfather using his own Force Lightning against him, preventing the rebirth of the Sith Order, but the effort left her dead. Solo resurrected her at the cost of his life, becoming one with the Force as the last Skywalker. Even though the Skywalkers were gone, but their legacy endured through Rey, who took the Skywalker name to honor her mentors. Thus, the True Jedi Order took its time to restore its natural roots.
