The Star Wars Expanded Universe has introduced many great Jedi into the lore.

Here are our favorites!

After Order 66, of course, Jedi couldnt appear in droves in the Original Trilogy films.

Part of the appeal was Luke and Obi-Wans place as singular representatives of their order.

Some characters, like Aayla Secura, have made the leap from page to screen.

Now, that seems like a leap for survival.

Mara Jade

Mara arrived on the scene in the 1991 novelHeir to the Empireby Timothy Zahn.

Like Darth Maul, she was removed from her family in her youth and raised by the Emperor.

Unlike Maul, she became a devotee of the light side and a Master to many Jedi.

Revan could be whatever fans wanted he or she to be.

His first big fight was against Jerec, the Dark Jedi who killed his father.

Jax Pavan

Pavans story had all the trappings of a noir detective tale.

A grim survivor of Order 66, he set up shop as a private eye.

This introspective Jedi helped funnel enemies of the Empire out of Coruscants under-city.

Pavans story carried through multiple novels, including theCoruscant Nightsseries and its sequelThe Last Jedi.

Tahiri Veila

Tahiri was a Jedi transformed.

Tahiri often lost her way, and the new one she found was not always an ideal situation.

That, though, was part of what made her a unique Jedi.

Corran Horn

Corran Horn was a man of many talents.

Corran began as a security officer on Corellia, then served in Rogue Squadron before becoming a full-time Jedi.

In theNew Jedi Order, he accepted a climactic one-on-one duel against the sadistic Shedao Shai.
