Scholar

Korin Aphra, the parent of archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra, serves as an example of an academic; he devoted his studies to the Ordu Aspectu and the Jedi Order from which they separated. The Ugnaught Korin Pers also functioned as an academic, producing writings concerning various antiquities. Veris Hydan, an advisor to Emperor Palpatine, was an academic specializing in the history of the Jedi and Sith, while Izal Garsea's father, a Batuuan known for his temper but also his love for his daughter, was at one time an academic as well.

Individuals who dedicated themselves to the study of history were also referred to as historians.

The Force was a subject that captivated many academics. Both academics and mystics jointly sought to command knowledge over the will of the Force.

Many academics posited that the Mid Rim desert moon of Jedha derived its name from the Jedi, although some believed the reverse to be true. Regardless, all agreed that their respective histories were intertwined. Academics examined several worlds, including Jedha, Ahch-To, Coruscant, Ossus, and Tython, in an effort to discover the location of the Jedi Order's first Temple.

The Jedi Order itself included academics among its members, who were similarly fascinated by the enigmas of the Force.
