This is the gripping tale of an X-wing pilot walking a dangerous path between the hero he once was and the potential he could possess—that is, if he's prepared to embrace the Dark Side.
Corran Horn previously served as an officer within the Corellian Security Force before siding with the New Republic. Being the grandson of a renowned Jedi hero, he holds dormant Force abilities that are yet to be unlocked. Nevertheless, he has distinguished himself within Rogue Squadron, the X-wing fighter group that has become a major threat to the Empire and the pirates targeting Republic vessels.
As a new pirate group commences terrorizing the spaceways, Rogue Squadron appears to have finally encountered its match. Under the command of a former Moff aboard an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the pirates exhibit an uncanny awareness of the squadron's strategies and plans, managing to detect and evade even the most elaborate ambushes. It's either a security breach... or the pirates wield a dark and unnatural power that only a trained Jedi could challenge.
Subsequently, Corran's spouse, Mirax, disappears during a secret mission aimed at locating the pirates' hidden base, prompting Corran to pledge to find her. He commences Jedi training at the Jedi academy, aspiring to cultivate his untapped abilities. However, as he becomes dissatisfied with Luke Skywalker's teaching methods, he will depart from the academy before completing his training.
Drawing upon his Corellian undercover background, he infiltrates the pirate organization. His strategy is both audacious and perilous. He intends to gather information, sabotage where possible, and employ every available means to locate his wife. And his very survival may hinge on a crucial decision—whether to succumb to the dark side or not.
I, Jedi immerses listeners in the astonishing, dramatic journey of a young man blessed with raw talent who must somehow control the powers within… or be consumed by them._
