Where does Kyle Katarn come into this? IIRC, those games were considered part of the EU canon before Disney got the rights. Technically not a Jedi; but he has Jedi (and Sith) powers and is also a good guy who had worked with the Rebel Alliance.
I’m no Jedi; I’m just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions.
- Kyle Katarn
He doesn’t become a Jedi until Luke trains him at the New Jedi Academy. Until that point, he’s “just” a force sensitive.
Most EU stuff was declared non-canon after the Disney acquisition, so I’m pretty sure Kyle isn’t canon anymore. However, the new Jedi Survivor games are seen as a spiritual successor to the Katarn games; Cal Kestis even uses some dark-side powers at the end of the second game. There are a few references to Kyle Katarn throughout the new canon.
