Kaylinn

Kaylinn is a fictional character primarily known for her appearances in the *Star Wars* expanded universe, particularly within the *Star Wars Legends* canon (now separated from the main continuity). Introduced in the 2009 novel *Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords*, Kaylinn is a human female Jedi Knight and one of the central protagonists of the story.

Set in the High Republic era, *Knights of the Old Republic II* follows Kaylinn as she navigates the political and moral complexities of the Jedi Order during a time of crisis. Her character explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the struggle between personal desires and the greater good. Unlike many Jedi in the series, Kaylinn is portrayed with depth, facing internal conflicts and making difficult choices that challenge traditional Jedi ideals.

Kaylinn’s backstory is gradually revealed through the narrative, highlighting her early training and her relationships with other characters, including her mentor, the Jedi Master Vrook Larr. Her journey culminates in a pivotal confrontation with the Sith, emphasizing her growth as a warrior and leader. The novel blends action, diplomacy, and philosophical inquiry, making Kaylinn a compelling figure in the *Star Wars* universe.

While *Knights of the Old Republic II* remains a beloved entry in the *Star Wars* expanded universe, Kaylinn’s story is no longer considered part of the official *Star Wars* canon following Disney’s 2014 acquisition of Lucasfilm. However, she remains a notable character for fans of the pre-Disney *Star Wars* lore, particularly those interested in the High Republic era and its exploration of Jedi history. Her portrayal as a morally ambiguous yet determined leader continues to resonate with readers who appreciate complex, well-developed fictional characters.
