Jedi Code

"If you would just follow the Code, you would be on the Council."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Qui-Gon Jinn

The Jedi Code was a set of rules that governed the behavior of the Jedi Order. Amongst other dictates, the Jedi Code forbid Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters from taking on more than one Padawan at a given time; and forbid Jedi from forming attachments, such as marriage. During the Clone Wars, there were those in the Grand Army of the Republic, such as Tarkin, who believed that the Jedi Code prevented the Order from doing what was necessary to win the war against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
