This year's incoming class at Coruscant's Jedi Academy will be the largest ever. 16 pupils were accepted this year, topping last year's count by two.

While some believe that this is a positive trend in the identification of force sensitive children, others wonder if there aren't more nefarious forces at play.

"There's definitely some nepotism going on, among other things," said Jedi Knight Cylion Thane. "Mace Windu's grand kid was just accepted and he's about as sensitive as a Bantha turd".

Others fear that looser criteria for admission might negatively impact the Academy's reputation as the Galaxy's premier destination for Jedi training .

"16 younglings. What are we, a daycare center?" griped another graduate. "this can't go on. I mean seriously, where's Anakin when you need him?"
