Star Wars: Jedi Academy

Jeffrey Brown brings a warm, kid-friendly energy to the Star Wars galaxy with this Scholastic-published series, which follows a young student named Roan Novachez through his trials and triumphs at the Jedi Academy. Running from 2013 to the present across nine issues, the comics blend diary-style humor with classic Star Wars themes of friendship and self-discovery. Brown's distinctive, cartoonish art and lighthearted tone make this an accessible entry point for younger readers, capturing the everyday wonder of training to be a Jedi without losing sight of the saga's heart.
