1''The Lost Jedi'' is a duology of ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' {{Gamebooks}} released in the UK in the early [[TheNineties '90s]]. The player character, the Lost Jedi of the title, is Havet Storm, a Jedi, [[AscendedExtra the hitherto unnamed Rebel who sent the Death Star plans to Princess Leia's ship,]] and the nemesis of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Boba Fett.]] The series is notable as being [[OlderThanTheyThink the first]] expanded universe series to kill off a movie character (Han Solo), albeit in a non-canonical bad ending.

3''The Lost Jedi'' consists of:
4* ''Jedi Dawn'' (1993)
5* ''The Bounty Hunter'' (1994)
6* ''The Lost Jedi Adventure Game Book'' (a compilation, released 1995)

8----
9!!''The Lost Jedi'' provides examples of:
10* ArchEnemy: Boba Fett in both books.
11* AscendedExtra: Havet Storm.
12* BittersweetEnding: The end of ''Jedi Dawn''. You've got the Death Star plans to Princess Leia and ''Film/ANewHope'' can progress as scheduled. Too bad [[spoiler:your girlfriend the MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter turned out to be loyal to TheEmpire all along]], killed your ally and best friend and tried to kill you.
13* DownerEnding: As mentioned, one non-canonical ending sees Han dead and the Rebellion on its last legs.
14* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Havet Storm got unceremoniously killed off in a single sentence in a Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast web fiction.
15%%* TheEmpire and LaResistance: It's an original trilogy era ''Star Wars EU'' series.
16* MadScientist: One of the antagonists in the first book, the designer of the Death Star's superlaser.
17* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: [[spoiler:Subverted when she realises that you used her to get to the superlaser plans and tries to kill you.]]
18* NoExportForYou: ''The Lost Jedi'', like many {{Gamebook}} adaptations of popular media franchises, didn't see release outside the UK.
19* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:Diamond disguises herself as Facet by wearing a wig. Vermillion/Scarlett/Crimson passes himself off as three seperate people by wearing a different item of red clothing for each persona.]] Hilariously, Havet can have close interactions with all five depending on the player's choices and not see the similarities.
20* ShoutOut: Your robot dog companion [[Series/DoctorWho may look familiar]] - it's even described as a [[LampshadeHanging K9-series droid]].
21* UnwinnableByDesign: One path through ''The Bounty Hunter'' results in your character boarding an Imperial Star Destroyer - every choice made from this point on will eventually lead to death.
