After graduation, he attended the University of Coruscant, and graduated with a degree in political science.Īfter graduating from the University of Coruscant, Judah enlisted into the Galactic Republic Marine Corps. During his school years, he played in a number of athletics. It was galactic history, civics, and economics Judah excelled in the most, as he showed great interest in the subjects, also seeing his grandfather in the text required for his classes. At Camelot Academy, Judah made excellent grades in sciences and galactic literature, but failed miserably in mathematics throughout his school years. Growing up in politics, Judah's parents taught him the value of politics and diplomacy, as it was essential to the Republic and the rest of the galaxy.Īs a young lad, Judah attended a private school on Coruscant, Camelot Academy. Judah's father, Mordecai, was also well known as being a successful banker and investor on Coruscant, and his mother was a Coruscanti diplomat to the planet Chandrila. Although rendered defunct a few generations after, the Karandans did continue diligently publishing and broadcasting tracts expressing their beliefs (which grew severe enough to argue that they would bring about the downfall of the Jedi, although they foresaw the Order being suborned by a charismatic demagogue), many of which remain archived across the Galaxy, some even being treasured and referenced by those with anti-Jedi sentiments.Judah Matthew Zaren was born on the planet Coruscant in the year 13,025 BBY to Mordecai and Lilith Zaren.


Yoda was not opposed to such arguments in and of themselves, but the Karandans were so extreme in expressing their views that it was beginning to bring discord, even violence, to the Jedi Temple, and banishment from the Order was seen as the only alternative. At the height of the debate, they and their followers went so far as to suggest that it was an influence brought in by neighbouring messianic religions, with some even whispering that it was acquired from a Sith belief. They argued that the origins of the prophecy were of dubious veracity and that the notion of a singular redemptive figure to fulfil the ultimate will of the Force was not merely contrary to general Jedi teachings, but actively reprehensible to the philosophy of the Living Force. Named for its founder, Karandas was a young Jedi who was a vocal critic of the prophecies of the Chosen One some three hundred years before the Clone Wars.
