Did Carnor Jax destroy Palpatine's clones twice?
According to Star Wars Saga Edition Jedi Academy Training Manual (page 117)
When Palpatine travels to Endor to oversee the construction of the second Death Star, Jax is left behind on Coruscant. Learning the ways of the dark side of the Force from Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, he eliminates the last few Prophets of the Dark Side as well as the last of Palpatine's cloned bodies in a daring attempt to seize the throne for himself. Unfortunately his bid for power is quashed when Sate Pestage assumes control, soon to be followed by Ysanne Isard.
Jax's unit is assigned to the Dark Lady Lumiya by Isard, and Lumiya quickly recognises his Force potential. She pulls him out of the unit to personally train him as her new apprentice. Shortly thereafter, he forms an alliance with Sarcev Quest, a member of the Imperial Ruling Council who grants him a military task force. When Palpatine returns in one of his clone bodies, Jax rejoins the Royal Guard to better arrange Palpatine's assassination, and bribes the Emperor's physician into sabotaging the remaining clones. After Palpatine's last clone dies on Onderon, Jax is prepared to take the throne and finally become Emperor.
However, this book is riddled with errors (most notoriously, the idea that Mon Mothma's illness was caused by Being Possessed By Exar Kun, when it was caused by Furgan's nano-destroyers (the Cilghal entry).
Is it reasonable to assume that the same is true here, and maybe mention it "This article assumes Jedi Academy Training Manual is in error"? It makes little sense for him to be eliminating clones but then failing to seize power, before Sate Pestage and Isard take control and Palpatine actually returns.
