Summary

	Ben Skywalker was a human male Jedi Knight New Jedi Order Organization New Republic from Coruscant Coruscant Planet , active mostly during the Second Galactic Civil War and the period afterward. He was the son of former Emperor's Hand Emperor's Hand Organization Galactic Empire and Jedi Master Mara Jade Skywalker Mara Jade Skywalker (Human) Character Major Characters and legendary Rebel hero and Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker Luke Skywalker (Human) Character Major Characters . Ben was born amidst the turmoil of the devastating Yuuzhan Vong War, where an extra-galactic species known as the Yuuzhan Vong Yuuzhan Vong Sentient Species invaded the galaxy, laying waste to dozens of worlds. As both of his parents were Jedi, they were unable to spend time with him as they fought in the war, so Skywalker was taken care of by his aunt and uncle, former Rebel heroes Han Han Solo (Human) Character Major Characters and Leia Solo Leia Organa Solo (Human) Character Major Characters . He was subsequently moved to the Shelter in the Maw, where many other young Jedi apprentices stayed. The Yuuzhan Vong were eventually repelled and a ceasefire was negotiated, but young Skywalker felt the pain of war through the Force, overwhelming him and causing him to close himself off from the Force for several years. In 35 ABY, Skywalker, now eight years old, became involved in another galactic crisis. The Killik species had recently been discovered in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, when a group of Jedi Knights heard their telepathic call and followed it to the Unknown Regions. Skywalker became partially joined to the Gorog Killik nest and formed an owner-pet relationship with one of the Gorog Killiks, who was actually trying to turn him against his mother. However, Ben's parents discovered the Killik's plan and captured it. During this time, Skywalker was taken under the wing of his cousin Jacen Solo Jacen Solo (Human) Character Major Characters , who became his informal Jedi Master. Solo, who had just returned to the New Jedi Order after a five-year journey to learn more about the Force, was able to help Skywalker open himself up to the Force gradually, as Skywalker was still apprehensive about the Force and needed years to become fully adjusted to the Force. With Solo's guidance, Skywalker was able to grow confident in his usage of the Force and become a powerful Jedi. Read more...	See also Coruscant Emperor's Hand Han Solo Yuuzhan Vong
