Although she still heavily felt his loss, Swan sensed that Giiett had been at peace at the time of his death and believed that he would have been proud of what she had accomplished in her training. He took her to Yinchorr to visit the site of Giiett's death, and told her that her former Master had sacrificed his life in order to save several other Jedi. Koon placed greater emphasis on practicing lightsaber combat than Giiett had, and helped Swan learn to use the weapon to complement her skills in martial arts. Giiett was killed by Yinchorri extremists during the Yinchorri Uprising in 33 BBY, and Swan continued her training under Jedi Master Plo Koon, a longtime friend of Giiett's. The Twi'lek Jedi Master Anoon Bondara aided Giiett in teaching Swan to blend the two unarmed combat styles. Under Giiett's guidance, Swan displayed prowess in a number of combat disciplines, including Teräs Käsi and the Verdanaian "Sliding Hands" method. The Jedi separated her from her family and brought her to the galactic capital of Coruscant to begin training with their order, and after several years of studying in the Jedi Temple, Swan was assigned to Jedi Master Micah Giiett as his Padawan. She displayed a high level of Force sensitivity at an early age and was discovered by the Jedi Order.

" If I may ask… when you sleep, do you ever have visions of your home world or your family?" He seized Swan's lightsaber, stabbing her with it in the process and ending her life. Although Swan refused to kill her unarmed opponent, her fellow Jedi Koffi Arana was determined to finish their foe. Vader stormed the meeting and began killing the gathered Jedi, but was soon wounded and disarmed by Swan and Master Tsui Choi.
Eight Jedi attended the conclave, but Potkin had called on them with an ulterior motive: the Sith apprentice Darth Vader, serving Emperor Palpatine of the reorganized Galactic Empire, was on his way, and Potkin hoped that the combined strength of eight Jedi could defeat him. Swan escaped the initial stages of the Great Jedi Purge, and she was soon contacted by fellow survivor Shadday Potkin, who invited her to a meeting on Kessel. Shortly after the Confederacy fled Coruscant, the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Palpatine brought an end to the war and ordered Republic troops to kill their Jedi Generals. Three years into the war, she helped defend the Republic's capital, Coruscant, from the invading Confederate Navy. However, Swan was able to afterward trap Separatist Commander Baron Edi Wedd inside of his impregnable fortress and leave him to die. She led Republic forces into battle on worlds such as Aargonar and Amaltanna a battle on the latter world saw all of her troops die at the hands of the Separatist Droid Army. The ensuing battle launched a three-year galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars, during which Swan served the Republic as a Jedi General. In 22 BBY, Swan was dispatched to the Sepan system to negotiate the cessation of a decades-long civil war, and later in the year, she joined a massive Jedi strike team that was sent to the planet Geonosis to rescue two Jedi and a Republic Senator, who were due to be executed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Swan became entwined in a plot by the shipbuilder Groodo the Hutt to destroy the Fondor Shipyards, and she aided in destroying Groodo's Droid Control Army and thwarting his plan to take over Fondor Spaceport. After becoming a Jedi Knight, Swan was routinely sent on peace missions, including one to the Fondor system to investigate the alleged reappearance of an ancient starship and to mediate a dispute over salvage rights to the vessel. Dedicated to her beliefs, she was respected within the Order for her record of never having killed an opponent prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars.
