| abstract | - The original series featured three titles and concluded with Jedi Academy: The Phantom Bully on June 30, 2015. There was also a supplementary book titled Jedi Academy: Attack of the Journal, and a box set of the three main titles was issued on September 29, 2015. The new installment in the series, Jedi Academy: A New Class, was released on July 26, 2016. The title features a new author and illustrator for the series, Jarrett J. Krosoczka, and a new cast of characters headlined by a boy named Victor Starspeeder whose youthful energies often land him in detention, supervised by Yoda. Kroscozka was personally contacted and asked if he would like to continue the series following Brown making the decision to step down in order to focus on other projects. Krosockza describes Brown as "a graphic artist who I admire immensely." Though the series has continued into 2016, the titles are set within the continuity of Star Wars Legends, with clear references to locations and concepts from the Expanded Universe. The titles are set in a time period well before that of the prequel films in order to avoid the grand events and political drama of that era and instead focus on a middle school experience.
