A '''Jedi''' was a member of the [[Jedi Order/Legends|Jedi Order]], who studied, served and used the mystical energies of [[The Force/Legends|the Force]]&mdash;usually, the [[Light side of the Force/Legends|light side of the Force]]. The weapon of the Jedi was the [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]], a weapon with a blade made of pure energy. The Jedi fought for peace and justice in the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], usually against their mortal enemies, the [[Sith/Legends|Sith]] and [[Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]], who followed the [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|dark side of the Force]]. Although the Order was almost destroyed four times, including once by the [[Darth Revan's Sith Empire|Sith Empire]] of [[Darth/Legends|Darth]] [[Revan/Legends|Revan]], by the [[Sith Triumvirate]] under [[Darth Nihilus]] during the [[First Jedi Purge]] shortly after, 4,000 years after that by the [[Great Jedi Purge/Legends|Great Jedi Purge]] of [[Palpatine/Legends|Darth Sidious]], and a century and a half afterwards by [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire]] and its [[Third Jedi Purge]], the order continued to live on, in part due to the [[Skywalker family/Legends|Skywalker family]] who time and time again played important parts in the history of the Jedi.

  +
Originally formed as a philosophical study group situated on the planet [[Tython/Legends|Tython]], the Jedi became revered as guardians of peace and justice in [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]]. As mystical wielders of [[The Force/Legends|the Force]] and of their signature [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsabers]], their powers inspired all citizens in the galaxy. The calm, considered demeanor of the Jedi made them ideal brokers of peace in times of conflict or dispute. Yet, for all their power and diversity, the Jedi were few. Often beset by foes in times of doubt and confusion, undercurrents of evil often challenged their order and the establishment they served, the most notable being the [[Sith/Legends|Sith]]. These dark warriors were the antithesis of the Jedi, their sworn enemies, and the battle between them brought the galaxy to war more than once. The Sith could even use the [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|dark side of the Force]] to diminish the powers of the Jedi, and prevent them from sensing the future.
   
  +
The way of the Jedi had become the way of wisdom and patience, backed by swift and decisive action when necessary. However, the [[Jedi Council/Legends|Jedi Council]] sometimes showed what appeared to be a lack of decisiveness, such as during the [[Mandalorian Wars]], preferring to work with events and patterns over the long term. Their inaction spurred [[Revan/Legends|Revan]] to fight back, and eventually led to the [[Jedi Civil War]]. To the rest of the galaxy, the line between Jedi and Sith became blurred during the conflict, and both sides were blamed for the destruction wrought on worlds such as [[Katarr/Legends|Katarr]], [[Telos IV]], and [[Taris/Legends|Taris]].
The '''Old Jedi Order''' was a monastic peacekeeping organization with a long, involved history. Throughout [[the Galaxy]] the Jedi were the most famous of the various organizations that relied on the [[Force]] for their power.
 
   
  +
Through intricate planning and dazzling adaptability, one [[Sith Master/Legends|Sith Master]] ([[Senator/Legends|Senator]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]] of [[Naboo/Legends|Naboo]] who was the [[Sith Lord/Legends|Sith Lord]] [[Darth/Legends|Darth]] Sidious) even rose to the office of [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]] of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], engineered the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], and undermined the Jedi until he could, in one swift, masterful stroke, destroy the Jedi Order and control the galaxy beneath his banner as [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Galactic Emperor]] of the new [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]]. Yet, even this catastrophe failed to eradicate the Jedi completely, and, within a generation, they had returned to once again protect and nurture the galaxy with their wisdom and guidance in the form of the [[New Jedi Order]]. The Jedi would continue to protect and serve the galaxy through the horrors of the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]] and downfall of the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] and the establishment of the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances]].
The Jedi Order was virtually destroyed in the [[Great Jedi Purge]], but rebuilt as the [[New Jedi Order (organization)|New Jedi Order]] during the [[New Republic]] era.
 
   
==Origins and Brief History of the Order==

==Path of the Jedi==

{{Quote|You have chosen the lonely path. The Jedi teach denial of self. That is their weakness. No sentient can long abide that.|[[Saes Rrogon]], Jedi-turned-Sith Lord|<ref name="Crosscurrent">''[[Crosscurrent]]''</ref>}}
  +
Becoming a Jedi required the most profound commitment and astute mind; the life of a Jedi was one of sacrifice. To hinder transgression, those who showed an aptitude for the Force were taken directly from birth (or soon afterward) to train in the [[Jedi Temple]] headquarters on [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]] or at smaller [[Jedi Enclaves]] as [[Padawan/Legends|Padawans]]. From the beginning of their training, a Jedi was expected to adhere to a strict [[Jedi Code/Legends|Code]] that included concepts such as rational thought, patience, and benevolence. Dark emotions such as hate, anger, and fear were thought to be destructive, leading down the path to the dark side of the Force, so the Jedi were taught to be mindful about such feelings.

===Training===
[[Image:VandarTokar.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Knights of the [[Old Republic]]]]
 
  +
{{Main|Jedi training/Legends}}
Since the beginning and most likely before the [[Galactic Republic]], scientists had been studying the [[Force]] and its connection to [[midi-chlorians]], most notably the [[Paladins of the Chatos Academy]], [[The Followers of Palawa]] and the [[Order of Dai Bendu]], on planets like [[Ondos]] and [[Had Abbadon]]. The Jedi Order itself, however, began on [[Tython]], where the brightest and best philosophers, priests, and warriors came together long ago to discuss their discoveries involving the enigmatic, mystical positive energy called the [[Ashla]]. Those who wanted to use the [[Bogan]], the negative energy of the Force for their personal gain ignited a century long conflict called the [[Force Wars]], the ashes of which arose the Jedi Order. Some of these Jedi left Tython to defend the Galaxy, and became known as the Jedi Knights.

[[File:JediMasterAndPadawan-TPM.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Padawan/Legends|Padawans]] would typically go on missions with their [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Masters]] to learn from experience.]]
  +
[[Youngling/Legends|Younglings]] being trained as Jedi were instructed in "clans" by a venerable, experienced [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]], learning the ways of the Jedi and the powers of the Force. After [[Ruusan/Legends|Ruusan]] it had become normal that the Jedi trainees were always children. Once [[Yavin 4/Legends|Yavin 4]] had been established as Jedi headquarters, the [[Jedi Initiate/Legends|Jedi initiates]], which were no longer children, were trained first under the direction of Jedi Master [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], and, in time, under another Master's direction in groups. When the New Jedi Order began, the younglings were again trained in clans from childhood.
   
  +
When an individual student achieved satisfactory understanding of the Jedi way, they were usually taken under the wing of another Jedi member and instructed individually to complete their training. Masters typically brought their Padawans along on missions, and later sent them on missions of their own, to allow them to gain experience and learn from practice.
Initially the Jedi were a contemplative order, but over time they began to take a more direct and active role in galactic affairs. The Jedi followed the "light" side of the Force, using their power for unselfish and beneficial acts. In the ensuing millennia, the history of the Jedi was intertwined with both the Republic they served and the [[Sith]] they fought.
 
   
  +
Not all students were promoted to direct study as Padawan learner under a Jedi Master. In the days of the Old Republic, it was common practice for younglings who were not selected to be Padawans by the age of 13 to be shifted into one of the divisions of the public service organization, the [[Jedi Service Corps/Legends|Jedi Service Corps]]. Such was to be the fate of young [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] until the events at [[Bandomeer/Legends|Bandomeer]] caused [[Qui-Gon Jinn/Legends|Qui-Gon Jinn]] to accept Obi-Wan as his Padawan.
The order suffered many Schisms&mdash;the first was the [[Great Schism]], which produced [[Xendor]]'s [[Legions of Lettow]], but the most consequential was the subsequent [[Hundred-Year Darkness]] in [[7,000 BBY]], where the Dark Jedi, once again defeated, were banished from known space.
 
 
They arrived on [[Korriban]], the home of the [[Sith (species)|Sith]] people, a primitive but [[Force]]-sensitive species. The Dark Jedi impressed the Sith with displays of Force power, and became the rulers of the planet and formed the [[Sith Empire]]. Over time, the Dark Jedi intermarried with the Sith, and the two identities merged. The term ‘Sith’ would later come to refer not only to the Sith species but also to the Dark Jedi who followed the codes of these ancient Jedi.
 
   
  +
===Way of life===
In [[5,000 BBY]] the Jedi and the Sith Empire clashed in the [[Great Hyperspace War]]. The Sith were defeated, but would return to haunt the Jedi in the [[Old Sith Wars]] and the [[New Sith Wars]].

  +
In following the Code, Jedi behavior was rigidly structured to uphold self-discipline, responsibility, and public service. The Jedi conquered emotions and materialism. They honored life, the law, the Order itself and the master-student relationship. Jedi rendered aid to support and defend the weak; compassion was encouraged. Rules of engagement included such notions as understanding the dark and light in all things, learning to see accurately, opening their eyes to what was not evident and exercising caution, even in trivial matters. Above all, Jedi upheld their duty to the Republic and embraced the Force. The Jedi before the [[Ruusan Reformation]] typically had more leeway in their dealings, as the Order was more loosely organized and the individual Knights and Masters granted greater personal freedom. Afterward, the Order was more centrally regulated by the [[Jedi High Council/Legends|High Council]].
   
  +
[[File:JediTemple-Deceived.jpg|thumb|left|240px|The [[Jedi Temple]], the traditional home of the Order]]
As a result of the aftermath of the catastrophic [[Battle of Ruusan]], the Republic granted the Jedi land over a [[Force nexus]]: a sacred mountain on [[Coruscant]]. The Jedi eventually centralized themselves here, founding the [[Jedi Temple]] in [[4,019 BBY]], which would stand for four thousand years.
 
  +
Early Jedi utilized shields and armor to protect themselves in battle, and used blaster pistols as well as lightsabers in combat. Later, as the lightsaber became a more self-contained weapon without an external power pack, the Jedi chose to carry it as their sole "tool" of defense and offense. The lightsaber was considered more a tool than a weapon. The lightsaber came to fulfill both a symbolic and pragmatic role for the Jedi; it identified the wielder, had a powerful visual impact, and given the availability of cybernetic replacement limbs might have been seen as a "cleaner" weapon than the blaster, which Obi-Wan regarded as "uncivilized," "clumsy" and "random."
   
  +
The Jedi of the pre-Reformation era (Old Jedi Order) also did not seem to have had any formal dress code, and dressed more or less as they saw fit, although traditional robes were favored by most Masters. These included a tunic, a cloak, and sometimes a tabard&mdash;usually in varied tones and shades of white and brown, though gray was also common for the overtunic. The left side of the dress was always turned on the right part of the torso. After the Reformation, these robes became the typical [[Jedi apparel/Legends|Jedi apparel]], even in battle. The Jedi also wore trousers, an obi, a leather utility belt, where they carried specialized field gear for their missions, and leather boots. The Jedi colors, which showed harmony with the Force, formed a stark contrast to the antithetical Sith, who were draped primarily in black.
Twice the Jedi Order was near extinction - in the aftermath of the [[Old Sith Wars]] and in the years following the [[Great Jedi Purge]]&mdash;but both times it managed to recover.
 
   
  +
In accordance with their philosophies of non-attachment, clothing was viewed as quite disposable. Indeed, possession itself was forbidden as another form of attachment, and most Jedi lived out lives of material poverty, though the Order's infrastructure and the support of the Republic meant the Jedi did not lack for food, housing, or clothing.
===Timeline of major events in Jedi history===
 
   
  +
Some time prior to the [[Great Sith War/Legends|Great Sith War]] Jedi were forbidden to hold attachments, as they were believed to lead to the dark side. For this reason, Jedi were not allowed to marry. [[Reess Kairn]] had an attachment, despite this being a violation of the Code. After finding his lover with another man, he killed them both in anger. This led him to the dark side. [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]] would become a testament to such Jedi circumspection, as his fear of losing his undisclosed wife, [[Padmé Amidala/Legends|Padmé Amidala]], ultimately caused his fall to darkness, but his connection to his son, Luke Skywalker, would later drive him back to the light. Although Jedi were not required to be chaste as well, many Jedi were abstinent if not outright celibate, due to sex being considered self-indulgence and an unnecessary act. At least one special case was recorded in this arrangement: [[Ki-Adi-Mundi/Legends|Ki-Adi-Mundi]] who, due to low [[Cerean/Legends|Cerean]] birth rates, was permitted to have a polygamous marriage, and fathered seven daughters. [[Ranik Solusar]] was disciplined by the Council for his marriage and the child it produced, but was not expelled from the Order.

Despite this restriction, Jedi were known to have clandestine relationships, whether with non-Jedi&mdash;such as the marriages of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, [[Quinlan Vos/Legends|Quinlan Vos]] and [[Khaleen Hentz/Legends|Khaleen Hentz]], [[Nejaa Halcyon]] and [[Scerra Horn|Scerra Halcyon]], and [[Etain Tur-Mukan]] and [[Clone commando/Legends|Clone commando]] [[Darman Skirata]]&mdash;or within the Jedi Order&mdash;such as the relationships of [[Kit Fisto/Legends|Kit Fisto]] and [[Aayla Secura/Legends|Aayla Secura]], Qui-Gon Jinn and [[Tahl]], Obi-Wan Kenobi and [[Siri Tachi/Legends|Siri Tachi]], and [[Tholme/Legends|Tholme]] and [[T'ra Saa]]. Some were developed even as Padawans, such as [[Mak Lotor]] and [[Kass Tod]], who died together, with Tod stating there was the Force, death and love. Many of these relationships did not lead to mishap. Further, [[Revan/Legends|Revan]] shared a romantic affection with [[Bastila Shan]], who was redeemed by him after her fall.

Others openly defied the High Council on this matter. This led to particular strife with [[Jolee Bindo]] and his wife, [[Nayama]] Bindo, during the [[Great Sith War/Legends|Great Sith War]]. Bindo trained his wife in the ways of the Force, but she soon fell to the dark side. He was not expelled from the Order, and instead was to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. He then lost faith in the wisdom of the Council and left the Order.

Becoming a Jedi required the most profound commitment and astute mind. The life of a Jedi was one of sacrifice. Those who showed an aptitude for the Force were taken directly from birth (or soon afterward) to train in the [[Jedi Temple]] headquarters on [[Coruscant]]. From the beginning of their training a Jedi was expected to adhere to a strict [[Jedi Code|Code]] that included concepts such as rational thought, patience, and benevolence. Emotions such as hate, anger, and fear were thought to be destructive and lead to the [[Force#The_dark_side:_Sith_philosophy|dark side]], so such things were banned from Jedi practice.
 
  +
Up to the [[Great Sith War/Legends|Great Sith War]], some Jedi did marry and had families of their own. There were even cases of families consisting entirely of Jedi, such as that of [[Andur Sunrider]]. The children of Jedi families were often gifted in the Force. Even later in the Order, such families existed&mdash;though the continuation of the line was through those family members who did not become Jedi. Famous Jedi families of the late Republic included the [[Koon family]] and the [[Diath family]].
   
  +
However, it appears that some Jedi might have been granted the right to marry, not as a special case, but as a norm. Several [[Corellian Jedi]] ([[Keiran Halcyon]] during the Old Republic, and [[Corran Horn/Legends|Corran Horn]] in the time of the New Republic) were allowed to marry and raise children without repercussion. Whether this was due to an agreement between the Jedi and the planetary government&mdash;Corellia was known for its family-centric culture&mdash;or purely personal choices made against the Jedi Code is not known, except in the case of Nejaa Halcyon, who married his wife secretly without the approval of the Council. Corellian Jedi often had many other noticeable differences from the traditional Jedi ways, such as in clothing and a reluctance to take on missions outside of their home system.
===Training===
 
Young Jedi were initially instructed in groups by a venerable, experienced [[Jedi Master]], learning the ways of the Jedi and the powers of the Force. When an individual student achieved satisfactory understanding of the Jedi way, they were usually taken under the wing of another Jedi member and instructed individually to complete their training. The way of the Jedi was a life-long path, and a Jedi usually remained part of the Order their entire life - learning more about the Order and the Force and following the will of the [[Jedi Council]].
 
   
  +
By the time of the New Jedi Order, the practice of forbidding or discouraging marriages had been discarded, as many of the Order's members had spouses and children, including the Order's [[Grand Master/Legends|Grand Master]] himself, whose wife was another Jedi Master.
===Way of Life===
 
In keeping with the tenets of modesty and humility, the Jedi traditionally wore simple and comfortable long, flowing robes, including tunics, pants, and a cloak&mdash;usually in varied shades of white and brown. The left side is always on the right part of the dress. The Jedi also wore utility belts, where they carried specialized field gear for their missions, and leather boots. The Jedi colors formed a stark contrast to the antithetical [[Sith]], who were draped primarily in black.
 
   
  +
The way of the Jedi was a lifelong path, and a Jedi usually remained part of the Order their entire life&mdash;learning more about the Order and the Force and following the will of the Jedi Council. Until the beginning of the Clone Wars, only twenty Jedi (of rank Master or higher) were said to have ever left the Order (although there was some debate as to whether this meant the post-Ruusan Order, the Order after some earlier point in its history, or literally in its entire history), of which the most prominent were [[Count/Legends|Count]] [[Dooku/Legends|Dooku]] and Master [[Darth Ruin|Phanius]]. These were commonly referred to as the [[Lost Twenty/Legends|Lost Twenty]], or simply The Lost.
The traditional Jedi weapon was the [[lightsaber]], which, in the hands of a skilled wielder, could be deadly in combat, even against opponents armed with ranged weapons. Often a Jedi was tasked with constructing their own lightsaber as part of their training, by collecting and assembling special crystals that provided a lightsaber with its power.
 
   
  +
===The Force===
Jedi of the [[Republic|Old Republic]] were forbidden to hold strong attachments, as they were believed to lead to the emotions of the dark side. For this reason, Jedi were not allowed to marry, though they were not required to be chaste. At least one special case was recorded in this arrangement: the Jedi [[Ki-Adi-Mundi]] who, due to low [[Cerean]] birth-rates, was permitted to have a polygamous marriage, and fathered seven daughters. Although some have been known to leave the Order such as [[Jolee Bindo]].

The Jedi were unified by their study of the Force, an "energy field" that emanated from every living thing.<ref name="TPM" /> The Force was channeled by microscopic organisms in the bloodstream, [[Midi-chlorian/Legends|midi-chlorians]]. They were in every living thing and communicated with the Force. The Jedi sought to understand the Force so that they could use its power to protect and aid the people that they served. The Jedi believed that the Force could be harnessed through careful study and contemplation to benefit the user and the universe around them. As they studied the [[Light side of the Force/Legends|light side of the Force]], the Jedi encouraged their members only to use the Force for healing and defense&mdash;never in anger or fear. However, several members of the Jedi Order throughout history disagreed with this view, believing that darker uses of the Force should be embraced because they offered a quick and easy path to power, while contemplation of the light side of the Force required patience and effort. This disagreement gave rise to the Sith, the constant enemy of the Jedi.
   
  +
[[File:Mindtrick.png|thumb|left|200px|Obi-Wan Kenobi, a master of [[Mind trick/Legends|mind tricks]]]]
During the [[Jedi Civil War]] era, many Cerean Jedi used specially-forged [[Kasha]] lightsaber crystals as a meditational tool; by incorporating such crystals into their training regimens, they helped to clear the wielder's mind of distractions, even during tense physical combat.
 
  +
The Jedi focused their lives on understanding and strengthening their connection with the Force to allow them to manipulate it as an extension of themselves. This connection was increased by rigorous training and meditation to achieve a state of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual harmony, a kind of inner peace.
   
  +
The dark side of the Force brought with it a great temptation for many Jedi; to many the dark side seemed a quicker and easier path. Pursuit of the dark side, however, was a self-destructive endeavor, and many Jedi who tasted dark powers found it harder and harder to turn away. Though some Jedi could be redeemed back to the path of the light, many fell and became [[Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]], some of whom became members of the Sith Order. Further, the pall of the dark side could diminish Jedi ability, clouding their insights into important matters. For these reasons, practice of dark Force powers was often, but not always, forbidden by the Jedi Council.<ref name="TJP" />
Ancient Jedi did practice marriage and were known to have families of their own. [[Revan]] shared a romantic affection with [[Bastila Shan]]. There were even cases of families consisting entirely of Jedi, such as that of [[Andur Sunrider]]. The children of Jedi families were often quite gifted in the Force, for they inherited a large number of [[midichlorians]] from both of their parents.
 
   
  +
Those fallen to the dark side, however, the Jedi tried to save. To the Jedi, killing was a last resort. This quality was at once a strength and a weakness of the Order.
===[[The Force]]===
 
One of the main foci of the Jedi order was the study of [[the Force]]: an "energy field" that emanated from every living thing. The Jedi sought to understand the Force so that they could use its power to protect and aid the people that they served. The Jedi believed that the Force could be harnessed through careful study and contemplation to benefit the user and the world around them. As they studied the [[Force#The_light_side:_Orthodox_Jedi_philosophy|light side]] of the Force, the Jedi encouraged their members only to use the Force for healing and defense - never in anger or fear. Unfortunately, several of the Jedi order disagreed with this view, arguing that other, [[Force#The_dark_side:_Sith_philosophy|darker]] uses of the Force should be allowed. This disagreement was one of the main issues the Jedi faced in their constant battle with the [[Sith]].

Though some Jedi could be redeemed back to the path of the light, many fell and became [[Dark Jedi]], some of whom were members of the [[Sith]] Order. For this reason, practice of dark Force powers was expressly forbidden by the Jedi Council.

The traditional Jedi weapon was the lightsaber, which, in the hands of a skilled wielder, could be deadly in combat, even against opponents armed with ranged weapons.

Since the binding of a lightsaber's intricate innards and the initial charging of the power cell also required knowledge of the Force to implement, the Padawan was tasked with constructing their own lightsaber as part of their training, using a unique crystal (such as the type found on the ice planet of [[Ilum/Legends|Ilum]], for example) that focuses the power cell's energy, thus creating the lightsaber's blade.
==Political organization==
 
[[Image:Jedicouncil1.JPG|thumb|left|The Jedi Council in [[32 BBY]]]]
 
Eventually the Jedi formed a central political entity called the [[Jedi Council]]. The High Council was a gathering of great minds that acted as a governing body for the Order, as well as an advisory board for the Old Republic Senate. The Jedi Council could only have 12 members at a time.
 
   
  +
During the Jedi Civil War era, many Cerean Jedi used specially forged [[Kasha]] lightsaber crystals as a meditative tool; by incorporating such crystals into their training regimens, they helped to clear the wielder's mind of distractions, even during tense physical combat. Further, it was a task in itself to find components for the lightsaber. Meditation in a [[Crystal Cave (Dantooine)|crystal cave]] on a planet such as Ilum or [[Dantooine/Legends|Dantooine]] would often produce an image in the Jedi's mind about the lightsaber they were to build. The construction of a lightsaber was considered a milestone on the path to Jedi Knighthood, and took on a heavily symbolic meaning.
Among other tasks, the Jedi eventually became responsible for law enforcement and peacekeeping in the [[Galactic Republic]]. Many Jedi held different opinions on peacekeeping; whilst some favoured diplomacy at all costs, others advocated a more direct approach, with the majority striking a balance between the two extremes.
 
   
  +
During the times of the Old Republic, it was a customary practice for a Jedi Master to present their own personal lightsaber as a gift to their most accomplished student. Jedi apprentice [[Nomi Sunrider]] was the recipient of one such lightsaber, receiving the weapon from Master Thon as a testament to the potential for greatness he recognized within her. Though the apprentice was indeed grateful for receiving such an honored gift, their Master would still stress the importance of knowing ''how'' to build one, requiring or even demanding that eventually the apprentice learns to construct their own, unique, lightsaber.
The Jedi Council of 4,000 BBY refused to enter the [[Mandalorian Wars]] until they felt the "threat had been assessed", taking a more passive stance on the issue. Later, perhaps due to the Order's near extinction as a result of that decision, the Jedi that rebuilt took a slightly more aggressive stance. During the [[Clone Wars]], in the twilight years of the [[Galactic Republic]], the Jedi acted as Generals, soldiers and military advisors in the conflict.
 
   
== The Three Pillars of Jedi Strength ==

===The [[Three Pillars/Legends|Three Pillars]] of the Jedi===
  +
{{Quote|Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization ''creates'' peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm.|[[Mace Windu/Legends|Mace Windu]]|<ref name="Shatterpoint (novel)">[[Shatterpoint (novel)|''Shatterpoint'']]</ref>}}
The strength of the Jedi Code and organization rested on three core tenets.
 
  +
The strength of the Jedi Code and organization of the Order rested on the three core tenets of Force, Knowledge, and Self-Discipline. Built into a Jedi's everyday life, the Coruscant Jedi Temple's main entrance statuary was illustrative of the three pillars.<ref name="TJP">[[The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force (real-life book)|''The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force'']]</ref>
* Self-discipline
 
  +
* Knowledge, as contained in the [[Jedi Archives]]
 
  +
[[File:Jedi_archives.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Main corridor of the [[Jedi Archives/Legends|Jedi Archives]]]]
* the [[Force]]
 
  +
The first pillar was the Force, the constant between all things. Given purpose by the Force, Master [[Sabla-Mandibu]] described the Jedi as "swimming in the Force in our every moment&mdash;breathing it, tasting it, riding its currents to our unique destines." A symbiosis of midi-chlorians and sentient beings was the key needed to be able to touch the Force, but this biological necessity was not a main focus of Jedi study. Instead, Jedi contemplated the will of the Force and the differences between its two aspects: the [[Unifying Force/Legends|Unifying]] and [[Living Force/Legends|Living Force]].<ref name="TJP" />
When used correctly, these allowed a Jedi to solve any problem and overcome any obstacle, helping to make the Galaxy a better place.
 
  +
  +
The Pillar of Knowledge maintained that a Jedi's role in the galaxy could not be filled without intense study and accumulated wisdom. To assist in the pursuit of knowledge, the Temple was equipped with a deep well of knowledge known as the [[Jedi Archives/Legends|Jedi Archives]]. In addition to the Archives and supplementary library, the Temple contained several [[Holocron Vaults|vaults]] which housed the [[Holocron/Legends|holocrons]] of the Order. While an individual could never learn everything within the collection, the presiding Chief Librarian that maintained the collection would argue that it wouldn't hurt to try.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
  +
Lastly, the Pillar of Self-Discipline was rightly known as the Third Pillar. Classes on combat and physical training were not given until mastery of the first two tenets was gained. Once ready to study the art of self-discipline, students were oftentimes disappointed to learn that they would not begin intense lightsaber training, but would be encouraged to take on more stringent forms of [[Meditation/Legends|meditation]]. Only after mastering oneself could an Initiate proceed to take up a lightsaber for the first time.<ref name="TJP" />

As the Jedi instructed their members in the ways of the Jedi Code and the Force, each member progressed through four basic levels of rank.

[[File:Bear_Clan.png|thumb|right|200px|Jedi [[Youngling/Legends|younglings]]]]
   
  +
===Hierarchy===
*'''''[[Jedi Initiate]]''''' (or ''[[Youngling]]'') - a Force-sensitive child. At a very young age, children were removed from their families and assigned to the Jedi Temple for training. Younglings were taught in communal groups known as clans.
 
  +
*'''[[Jedi Initiate/Legends|Jedi Initiate]]''' (or "Youngling" or "Jedi Hopeful") &ndash; The youngest members of the Order, these [[Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]] children were given the rank of Initiate when they began their communal training in clans. Recruited from worlds throughout the galaxy where blood testing was required upon birth, Initiates were removed from their families and brought to a Jedi academy for formal training.<ref name="TJP" />
*'''''[[Padawan|Jedi Padawan]]''''' - an apprentice who began serious tutelage under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master. In order to graduate to Padawan status, an Initiate was required to be chosen by a Knight or Master and taken as their sole pupil. If a youngling was not chosen to be a Padawan by 13 years of age, the youngling was placed into another, lesser role in the [[Jedi Service Corps]]. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this might be the [[Agricultural Corps]], the [[Medical Corps]], or the [[Exploration Corps]]. Padawans typically wore a long braid of hair behind their right ear. When a Padawan was elevated to Knighthood the braid was cut during the knighting ceremony. Some exceptions of late acceptances to Padawan training were made, most notably in the case of [[Anakin Skywalker]].
 
  +
[[File:Diptych_Jedi.png|thumb|right|180px|A Human male Jedi Padawan]]
*'''''[[Jedi Knight]]''''' - a disciplined Padawan could become a fully trained Jedi once they completed [[Jedi Trials|"the trials."]]
 
  +
*'''[[Padawan/Legends|Jedi Padawan]]''' (or "Jedi Apprentice") &ndash; After being selected for individual tutelage under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master, Initiates were given the title of Padawan. Eligible for this rank following the successful completion of the [[Jedi Initiate Trials|Initiate Trials]], Padawans were typically taken at adolescence and completed their training away from the academy. Per tradition, Padawans of a hair-growing species would wear a long braid of hair behind their ear; hairless Padawans were encouraged to wear a type of jewelry, a tattoo, or other body modification. A Jedi Knight or Jedi Master could have only one apprentice at a time, and the Padawan had to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight before another apprentice could be chosen, a practice that was formalized following the [[Great Sith War/Legends|Great Sith War]]. While in place, the policy could be suspended when the Order saw a decline in number, and necessity forced the apprenticeship of several students to a single master. Following several unsuccessful attempts at the Initiate Trials or if a student was not chosen by a Master, the Council of Reconciliation would place the student within the Jedi Service Corps. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this might be the [[Agricultural Corps/Legends|Agricultural Corps]], the [[Medical Corps/Legends|Medical Corps]], the [[Educational Corps]] or the [[Exploration Corps/Legends|Exploration Corps]]. If this role did not suit a particular student, they could choose to leave the Order entirely.<ref name="TJP" />
*'''''[[Jedi Master]]''''' - a Jedi Knight who showed great understanding of the Force and managed to instruct a Padawan and train them successfully to the level of a Jedi Knight. This title could also be achieved through the performance of extraordinary deeds. Self-proclamation of the Jedi Master title was rare and frowned upon by the Jedi Council.
 
  +
*'''[[Jedi Knight/Legends|Jedi Knight]]''' &ndash; Following a period of nearly a decade of one-on-one training with a master, a disciplined Padawan was eligible to attempt the [[Jedi Trials/Legends|Jedi Trials]]. Upon successfully completing all tests put forth, a Padawan's braid was severed by the High Council and their life as a Knight began. No longer attached to a master, Knights were free to accept missions from the Council, pursue specialized training on one of the three branches of Knighthood, or take their own Padawan.<ref name="TJP" />
*'''''[[Jedi Grand Master]]''''' was the title given to the acknowledged leader of the entire order. [[Yoda]] held this title in the final years of the Republic and, after the rebirth of the Jedi, [[Luke Skywalker]] held the title in the days of the Galactic Alliance, following the Yuuzhan Vong War.
 
  +
*'''[[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]]''' &ndash; An experienced Knight who demonstrated great wisdom and understanding of the Force could be elevated to the rank of Master by the High Council. Self-declaration of the title was frowned upon and rare practice in the latter days of the Order, but not uncommon during war times or periods of disbandment. Amongst the Order's Masters, only a select few were appointed to one of the Jedi Councils. Made up exclusively of wise, experienced Masters, the Councils of the Order had different levels of membership, ensuring fresh perspectives were expressed as new events occurred. The High Council was made up of 12 masters, five of them holding life terms, four holding long terms, and three holding short terms. The elected leader of the Council was known as the [[Master of the Order/Legends|Master of the Order]] and was often bestowed upon the acting Grand Master, the recognized leader of the entire Order.<ref name="TJP" />
   
  +
===Specialization===
A Jedi Knight or Jedi Master could have only one apprentice at a time, and the Padawan had to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight before another apprentice could be chosen.
 
  +
Upon a Padawan's ascension to Knighthood, they faced the choice of continuing down one of three branches of Jedi training. Choosing based on preference and personal talents and skills, the opportunity to join the ranks of the [[Jedi Guardian/Legends|Jedi Guardian]], [[Jedi Consular]], or [[Jedi Sentinel/Legends|Jedi Sentinel]] was open to all who passed the Jedi Trials. In addition to their specialization, the High Council could demand that the members of the Order assume military ranks in order to defend the Republic.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
  +
====Jedi Guardian====
  +
{{Main|Jedi Guardian/Legends}}
  +
[[File:AnakinSkywalker.jpg|thumb|right|160px|Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi Guardian]]
  +
Knights preferring to take a physically active stance against the dark side of the Force and all other threats to the Republic pursued the title of Guardian. Brandishing their lightsabers proudly, Guardians focused much of their training on perfecting their sparring and athletic skills, as well as the art of unarmed combat. The Force skills studied by the Guardians were typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. The most profound masters of this specialization were known as '''Warrior Master'''.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi ace|Jedi Ace]]''' &ndash; Members of the [[Jedi Starfighter Corps]] were known as Aces and specialized and used a [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighter]] as an extension of their being, combining piloting skills with mastery of the Force.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi instructor|Lightsaber instructors]]''' &ndash; Stationed at the Jedi academy, these individuals were battle-scarred Masters who were determined to pass down their experience to the young students of the Order. The highest ranking instructor within the academy was given the title of [[Jedi Battlemaster|Battlemaster]] by the High Council and was responsible for selecting and referring future instructors.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Peacekeeper]]''' &ndash; Those Jedi wishing to pursue a peacekeeping role were stationed within planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they worked as the area's special police. Helping to quell riots and capture terrorists, the [[Temple Security Force]] was made up of Peacekeepers. Within its ranks, Jedi could be trained as Gate Master, Sniper, or Brute.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Weapon Master]]''' &ndash; A Jedi Master who mastered the technique of wielding an exotic weapon was dubbed a Weapons Specialist, or Weapon Master. The Weapon Master was among the greatest physical fighters of the Order.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
  +
====Jedi Consular====
  +
{{Main|Jedi Consular}}
  +
[[File:Barriss_medstar2.jpg|thumb|right|160px|[[Jedi healer/Legends|Jedi Healer]] [[Barriss Offee/Legends|Barriss Offee]] during the Clone Wars]]
  +
Focusing not on physical force but on mastery of the Force and the sharpening of mental skills, the Jedi Knights who became Consulars worked closely with the Republic Diplomatic Corps and medical facilities. Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Consulars worked as healers, prophets, and researchers, wielding a lightsaber only for self-defense. The most studied masters of this specialization were known as '''Sage Master'''.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Ambassador]]''' &ndash; The face of the Republic to each newly discovered world, Ambassadors worked closely with bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the Republic. Some Ambassadors were designated as advisers to certain Senators or even the Supreme Chancellor upon request.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Diplomat]]''' &ndash; Always right in the middle of a dispute, Jedi Diplomats were given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Senate and Jedi Order. Jedi were often called upon to act as impartial diplomats. This was possibly due to the Order's traditions of detachment from secular society and the phenomenon of Force-guided intuition. They would serve as moderators and negotiators during disputes, and their judgments were recognized as just and binding. When acting as diplomats, Jedi took the utmost care to be impartial and fair-minded. The legacy of this impartiality was such that, decades after the [[Great Jedi Purge/Legends|Great Jedi Purge]] and [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine's]] false accusations of the corruption of the Jedi Order, the legend of Jedi impartiality lived on in the memories of some sections of galactic society. Some species who respected the Jedi&mdash;for example, the [[Barabel/Legends|Barabel]]&mdash;retained a tradition of calling upon a Jedi's impartial judgment even for minor interpersonal disputes.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi healer/Legends|Jedi healer]]''' &ndash; Some Jedi would focus on the more humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of [[Force healing/Legends|healing]]. Led by the [[Circle of Jedi Healers/Legends|Circle of Jedi Healers]] and headquartered out of the Coruscant Temple's [[Halls of Healing]], healers were also deployed to serve aboard [[MedStar-class frigate/Legends|MedStar]] frigates and, occasionally, in Republic's [[Republic Mobile Surgical Unit/Legends|mobile surgical units]], or ''Rimsoos''.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Lore Keeper|Jedi Lore Keeper]]''' &ndash; Jedi wishing to contribute to the growth of the Jedi Archives would become Lore Keepers, a group directed by the [[Librarian's Assembly]]. Divided into historians, archivists, and librarians, each group worked for the proliferation of knowledge and preservation of the past.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Researcher]]''' &ndash; Solving theory and updating the Archives of the Order, researchers chose specializations such as that in archaeology, geology, biology, mathematics, and astronomy.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Seer]]''' &ndash; Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force were known as Seers, maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons. The most perceptive of these Jedi were known as Prophets and foretold the future of the galaxy.<ref name="TJP" />

  +
Knights that sought a balance between the intensive combat training of the Jedi Guardians and the wider philosophical views and teaching responsibilities of the Jedi Consulars. These Jedi ferreted out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light. They were generally employed in scouting missions and were skilled in security, computers, or stealth techniques, and also had diplomatic skills.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi investigator/Legends|Jedi Investigator]]''' &ndash; Jedi specially appointed by the High Council to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy against the Republic and other shady menaces. The Jedi investigator would often work alone and undercover to infiltrate suspicious organizations or would be busy investigating some act of crime.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi recruiter|Jedi Recruiters]]''' &ndash; Working as members of the [[Acquisition Division of the Order]], the recruiters honed the talents learned from Jedi Investigators to track down and identify Force-sensitives to assess whether they belonged in the Jedi Order. Republic law required all newborns undergo testing, with potential candidates' names being recorded in the Division's prized Kyber memory crystal. After the child had aged a few months, the Order would dispatch a recruiter to test the child and see if they met the qualifications to begin training on the Jedi Path.
  +
*'''[[Jedi Shadow]]''' &ndash; The secret police of the Order, Shadows worked under the supervision of the First Knowledge Council and were dispatched to destroy all agents of the dark side. Heavily employed after the [[New Sith Wars]], the Shadows were responsible for erasing the word "Sith" from the minds of the majority of galactic citizens.<ref name="TJP" />
  +
*'''[[Jedi Temple Guard/Legends|Jedi Temple Guard]]''' &ndash; Anonymous sentinels who served as security force and reported to Jedi Master [[Cin Drallig/Legends|Cin Drallig]], who headed the Temple's security detail. They wore formal robes and identity-concealing masks, the ultimate expression of emotional detachment required in service to a higher calling. Temple Guards carried imposing lightsaber pikes—thick, double-bladed weapons that produced a rare and distinctive yellow blade.
  +
*'''[[Jedi Watchman/Legends|Jedi Watchman]]''' &ndash; Charged with overseeing a particular system or sector, a watchman served as a liaison officer between the system or sector and the High Council as well as the Republic in general. Jedi Watchmen were often highly skilled in diplomacy and knew the culture of the system or sector they oversaw, typically having lived many years amongst the people of said world.<ref name="TJP" />

===Military and warfare===

{{Quote|We're often called a militant Order, but do you know one of the principal differences between the military and the Jedi Order?

  +
In times of war, especially when Sith forces were involved, Jedi would sometimes assume military ranks and govern armies of Republic military units, as was seen in the [[Mandalorian Wars]], the Jedi Civil War, the [[New Sith Wars]], and the Clone Wars. So Jedi indeed became soldiers, not just keepers of the peace. During the New Sith Wars, the Order created the [[Army of Light/Legends|Army of Light]], a massive military branch that consisted of the majority of active Jedi.
  +
*'''[[Jedi Commander/Legends|Jedi Commander]]''' &ndash; A Padawan serving as a [[Commander/Legends|Commander]] in the [[Grand Army of the Republic/Legends|Grand Army of the Republic]], the Jedi Commander was assigned to a Jedi General until knighted. Once a full Jedi, the Padawan was then referred to as General.
  +
*'''[[Jedi General/Legends|Jedi General]]''' &ndash; Jedi Knights or Masters who had been placed in command of a Republic army were dubbed Generals. Jedi Masters could become '''[[Senior Jedi General]]''', leading one of the twenty [[Sector Army/Legends|Sector Armies]]. Out of the twelve High Council members, some became '''[[High Jedi General/Legends|High Jedi Generals''']] not only commanding their own [[Systems Army/Legends|Systems Army]], but also supervising all other ranking Jedi.
  +
*'''[[Jedi Lord]]''' &ndash; a Jedi who served as a commander in the Army of Light during the New Sith Wars. The Jedi Lord assumed this title mainly out of political motivation. The rank was abolished after the war.

[[File:AnakinPrime.jpg|thumb|right|160px|Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One]]
  +
The prophecy of the [[Chosen One/Legends|Chosen One]] was an ancient Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who was "to bring balance to the Force." This prophecy was interpreted by Qui-Gon and other Jedi to mean that he would destroy the Sith. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that a young Anakin Skywalker was that person when he discovered him in [[32 BBY/Legends|32 BBY]], because of Anakin's exceptionally high midi-chlorian count and unique birth.
  +
  +
At first, many Jedi believed Anakin to be the Chosen One because of his seemingly incomparable power. Later, though, it seemed that he was not the Chosen One, since he fell to the dark side, and as Darth Vader, was a central figure in the destruction of the Jedi Order. However, in [[4 ABY/Legends|4 ABY]] he redeemed himself with his decision to stand against [[Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] and Sith [[Lord/Legends|Lord]] Palpatine, sacrificing himself to save his [[Reproduction/Legends|son]], Luke, and finally destroying the Sith Order in the process. This action proved Qui-Gon and various others correct at last in that he in fact was the Chosen One. With the deaths of both Palpatine and Vader, the Force was brought into a certain "balance."<ref>''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith DVD commentary''</ref>
  +
  +
In later years, however the idea that Anakin was the Chosen One was largely rejected by the Jedi.<ref>''[[Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (real-life book)|Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force]]''</ref>

It is here, that Revan&mdash;who is unaware of his former life&mdash;is retrained for the purpose of finding the [[Star Maps]]. Both [[Vrook]] and [[Dorak]] mention that is a rare exception indeed to train an adult in the ways of the Force.
 
*The same exception is also made dealing with [[Anakin Skywalker]], when he is found by [[Qui-Gon Jinn]] when he is trained by [[Obi Wan Kenobi]].
 
*Following the events of "[[Return of the Jedi]]", and the creation of the Jedi Academy (later Praxeum) on Yavin IV, Luke Skywalker made it possible for older students to be trained in the Force without the restrictions placed upon by the Old Republic. An example of this was Corran Horn, a Corellian member of Rogue Squadron who served in CorSec during his life as an adult prior to training with Skywalker.

*In the [[Wizards of the Coast]] version of the [[Star Wars Roleplaying Game]], the different personal dispositions of Jedi are reflected in the gaming world by the Jedi types&mdash;[[Jedi Consular|Consular]]s for those favoring diplomacy or Force powers and [[Jedi Guardian|Guardian]]s for those favouring aggressive solutions. The video game ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' (KOTOR) introduced a third type, the [[Jedi Sentinel|Sentinel]], which was a balance between the two. KOTOR also assigned particular lightsaber colours to each- green for the Consular, blue for the Guardian, and yellow for the Sentinel. Whether an artifact of the RPG format of the game, or an actual canonical piece of the plot, the practice seems to have died out by the Old Republic's waning years, possibly having been lost with the near eradication of the Jedi Order during the [[Jedi Civil War]] or eliminated during the reorganization of the order during the [[Ruusan Reformation]].

"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic."
Obi-Wan Kenobi[4]

A Jedi was a member of the Jedi Order, who studied, served and used the mystical energies of the Force—usually, the light side of the Force. The weapon of the Jedi was the lightsaber, a weapon with a blade made of pure energy. The Jedi fought for peace and justice in the Galactic Republic, usually against their mortal enemies, the Sith and Dark Jedi, who followed the dark side of the Force. Although the Order was almost destroyed four times, including once by the Sith Empire of Darth Revan, by the Sith Triumvirate under Darth Nihilus during the First Jedi Purge shortly after, 4,000 years after that by the Great Jedi Purge of Darth Sidious, and a century and a half afterwards by Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire and its Third Jedi Purge, the order continued to live on, in part due to the Skywalker family who time and time again played important parts in the history of the Jedi.

History of the Jedi[]

"Remember, a Jedi fights only as a last resort. If you are forced to draw your lightsaber, you have already forfeited much of your advantage. A Jedi trusts the Force and at first seeks other ways to resolve problems: patience, logic, tolerance, attentive listening, negotiation, persuasion, calming techniques. But there are times when a Jedi must fight."
Luke Skywalker to his students[5]
Yoda TPM RotS

Yoda, one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi in galactic history

Originally formed as a philosophical study group situated on the planet Tython, the Jedi became revered as guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. As mystical wielders of the Force and of their signature lightsabers, their powers inspired all citizens in the galaxy. The calm, considered demeanor of the Jedi made them ideal brokers of peace in times of conflict or dispute. Yet, for all their power and diversity, the Jedi were few. Often beset by foes in times of doubt and confusion, undercurrents of evil often challenged their order and the establishment they served, the most notable being the Sith. These dark warriors were the antithesis of the Jedi, their sworn enemies, and the battle between them brought the galaxy to war more than once. The Sith could even use the dark side of the Force to diminish the powers of the Jedi, and prevent them from sensing the future.

The way of the Jedi had become the way of wisdom and patience, backed by swift and decisive action when necessary. However, the Jedi Council sometimes showed what appeared to be a lack of decisiveness, such as during the Mandalorian Wars, preferring to work with events and patterns over the long term. Their inaction spurred Revan to fight back, and eventually led to the Jedi Civil War. To the rest of the galaxy, the line between Jedi and Sith became blurred during the conflict, and both sides were blamed for the destruction wrought on worlds such as Katarr, Telos IV, and Taris.

Through intricate planning and dazzling adaptability, one Sith Master (Senator Palpatine of Naboo who was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious) even rose to the office of Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, engineered the Clone Wars, and undermined the Jedi until he could, in one swift, masterful stroke, destroy the Jedi Order and control the galaxy beneath his banner as Galactic Emperor of the new Galactic Empire. Yet, even this catastrophe failed to eradicate the Jedi completely, and, within a generation, they had returned to once again protect and nurture the galaxy with their wisdom and guidance in the form of the New Jedi Order. The Jedi would continue to protect and serve the galaxy through the horrors of the Yuuzhan Vong War and downfall of the New Republic and the establishment of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.

Path of the Jedi[]

"You have chosen the lonely path. The Jedi teach denial of self. That is their weakness. No sentient can long abide that."
Saes Rrogon, Jedi-turned-Sith Lord[6]

Becoming a Jedi required the most profound commitment and astute mind; the life of a Jedi was one of sacrifice. To hinder transgression, those who showed an aptitude for the Force were taken directly from birth (or soon afterward) to train in the Jedi Temple headquarters on Coruscant or at smaller Jedi Enclaves as Padawans. From the beginning of their training, a Jedi was expected to adhere to a strict Code that included concepts such as rational thought, patience, and benevolence. Dark emotions such as hate, anger, and fear were thought to be destructive, leading down the path to the dark side of the Force, so the Jedi were taught to be mindful about such feelings.

Training[]

"Master Ooroo, I have been very busy here with my tasks as a Jedi Knight…I certainly miss the days of my peaceful tutelage."
"Yes, but a Jedi must learn action as well as knowledge…"
―Jedi Knight Odan-Urr and his Master, Ooroo[7]
JediMasterAndPadawan-TPM

Padawans would typically go on missions with their Jedi Masters to learn from experience.

Younglings being trained as Jedi were instructed in "clans" by a venerable, experienced Jedi Master, learning the ways of the Jedi and the powers of the Force. After Ruusan it had become normal that the Jedi trainees were always children. Once Yavin 4 had been established as Jedi headquarters, the Jedi initiates, which were no longer children, were trained first under the direction of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, and, in time, under another Master's direction in groups. When the New Jedi Order began, the younglings were again trained in clans from childhood.

When an individual student achieved satisfactory understanding of the Jedi way, they were usually taken under the wing of another Jedi member and instructed individually to complete their training. Masters typically brought their Padawans along on missions, and later sent them on missions of their own, to allow them to gain experience and learn from practice.

Not all students were promoted to direct study as Padawan learner under a Jedi Master. In the days of the Old Republic, it was common practice for younglings who were not selected to be Padawans by the age of 13 to be shifted into one of the divisions of the public service organization, the Jedi Service Corps. Such was to be the fate of young Obi-Wan Kenobi until the events at Bandomeer caused Qui-Gon Jinn to accept Obi-Wan as his Padawan.

Way of life[]

"Training to become a Jedi is not an easy challenge, and even if you succeed, it's a hard life."
―Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, to a young Anakin Skywalker[8]

In following the Code, Jedi behavior was rigidly structured to uphold self-discipline, responsibility, and public service. The Jedi conquered emotions and materialism. They honored life, the law, the Order itself and the master-student relationship. Jedi rendered aid to support and defend the weak; compassion was encouraged. Rules of engagement included such notions as understanding the dark and light in all things, learning to see accurately, opening their eyes to what was not evident and exercising caution, even in trivial matters. Above all, Jedi upheld their duty to the Republic and embraced the Force. The Jedi before the Ruusan Reformation typically had more leeway in their dealings, as the Order was more loosely organized and the individual Knights and Masters granted greater personal freedom. Afterward, the Order was more centrally regulated by the High Council.

JediTemple-Deceived

The Jedi Temple, the traditional home of the Order

Early Jedi utilized shields and armor to protect themselves in battle, and used blaster pistols as well as lightsabers in combat. Later, as the lightsaber became a more self-contained weapon without an external power pack, the Jedi chose to carry it as their sole "tool" of defense and offense. The lightsaber was considered more a tool than a weapon. The lightsaber came to fulfill both a symbolic and pragmatic role for the Jedi; it identified the wielder, had a powerful visual impact, and given the availability of cybernetic replacement limbs might have been seen as a "cleaner" weapon than the blaster, which Obi-Wan regarded as "uncivilized," "clumsy" and "random."

The Jedi of the pre-Reformation era (Old Jedi Order) also did not seem to have had any formal dress code, and dressed more or less as they saw fit, although traditional robes were favored by most Masters. These included a tunic, a cloak, and sometimes a tabard—usually in varied tones and shades of white and brown, though gray was also common for the overtunic. The left side of the dress was always turned on the right part of the torso. After the Reformation, these robes became the typical Jedi apparel, even in battle. The Jedi also wore trousers, an obi, a leather utility belt, where they carried specialized field gear for their missions, and leather boots. The Jedi colors, which showed harmony with the Force, formed a stark contrast to the antithetical Sith, who were draped primarily in black.

In accordance with their philosophies of non-attachment, clothing was viewed as quite disposable. Indeed, possession itself was forbidden as another form of attachment, and most Jedi lived out lives of material poverty, though the Order's infrastructure and the support of the Republic meant the Jedi did not lack for food, housing, or clothing.

Some time prior to the Great Sith War Jedi were forbidden to hold attachments, as they were believed to lead to the dark side. For this reason, Jedi were not allowed to marry. Reess Kairn had an attachment, despite this being a violation of the Code. After finding his lover with another man, he killed them both in anger. This led him to the dark side. Anakin Skywalker would become a testament to such Jedi circumspection, as his fear of losing his undisclosed wife, Padmé Amidala, ultimately caused his fall to darkness, but his connection to his son, Luke Skywalker, would later drive him back to the light. Although Jedi were not required to be chaste as well, many Jedi were abstinent if not outright celibate, due to sex being considered self-indulgence and an unnecessary act. At least one special case was recorded in this arrangement: Ki-Adi-Mundi who, due to low Cerean birth rates, was permitted to have a polygamous marriage, and fathered seven daughters. Ranik Solusar was disciplined by the Council for his marriage and the child it produced, but was not expelled from the Order.

Despite this restriction, Jedi were known to have clandestine relationships, whether with non-Jedi—such as the marriages of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, Quinlan Vos and Khaleen Hentz, Nejaa Halcyon and Scerra Halcyon, and Etain Tur-Mukan and Clone commando Darman Skirata—or within the Jedi Order—such as the relationships of Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura, Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, and Tholme and T'ra Saa. Some were developed even as Padawans, such as Mak Lotor and Kass Tod, who died together, with Tod stating there was the Force, death and love. Many of these relationships did not lead to mishap. Further, Revan shared a romantic affection with Bastila Shan, who was redeemed by him after her fall.

Others openly defied the High Council on this matter. This led to particular strife with Jolee Bindo and his wife, Nayama Bindo, during the Great Sith War. Bindo trained his wife in the ways of the Force, but she soon fell to the dark side. He was not expelled from the Order, and instead was to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. He then lost faith in the wisdom of the Council and left the Order.

ZS-convocation

Luke Skywalker and members of the New Jedi Order

Up to the Great Sith War, some Jedi did marry and had families of their own. There were even cases of families consisting entirely of Jedi, such as that of Andur Sunrider. The children of Jedi families were often gifted in the Force. Even later in the Order, such families existed—though the continuation of the line was through those family members who did not become Jedi. Famous Jedi families of the late Republic included the Koon family and the Diath family.

However, it appears that some Jedi might have been granted the right to marry, not as a special case, but as a norm. Several Corellian Jedi (Keiran Halcyon during the Old Republic, and Corran Horn in the time of the New Republic) were allowed to marry and raise children without repercussion. Whether this was due to an agreement between the Jedi and the planetary government—Corellia was known for its family-centric culture—or purely personal choices made against the Jedi Code is not known, except in the case of Nejaa Halcyon, who married his wife secretly without the approval of the Council. Corellian Jedi often had many other noticeable differences from the traditional Jedi ways, such as in clothing and a reluctance to take on missions outside of their home system.

By the time of the New Jedi Order, the practice of forbidding or discouraging marriages had been discarded, as many of the Order's members had spouses and children, including the Order's Grand Master himself, whose wife was another Jedi Master.

The way of the Jedi was a lifelong path, and a Jedi usually remained part of the Order their entire life—learning more about the Order and the Force and following the will of the Jedi Council. Until the beginning of the Clone Wars, only twenty Jedi (of rank Master or higher) were said to have ever left the Order (although there was some debate as to whether this meant the post-Ruusan Order, the Order after some earlier point in its history, or literally in its entire history), of which the most prominent were Count Dooku and Master Phanius. These were commonly referred to as the Lost Twenty, or simply The Lost.

The Force[]

Further information: Force powers
"My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda[9]

The Jedi were unified by their study of the Force, an "energy field" that emanated from every living thing.[8] The Force was channeled by microscopic organisms in the bloodstream, midi-chlorians. They were in every living thing and communicated with the Force. The Jedi sought to understand the Force so that they could use its power to protect and aid the people that they served. The Jedi believed that the Force could be harnessed through careful study and contemplation to benefit the user and the universe around them. As they studied the light side of the Force, the Jedi encouraged their members only to use the Force for healing and defense—never in anger or fear. However, several members of the Jedi Order throughout history disagreed with this view, believing that darker uses of the Force should be embraced because they offered a quick and easy path to power, while contemplation of the light side of the Force required patience and effort. This disagreement gave rise to the Sith, the constant enemy of the Jedi.

Mindtrick

The Jedi focused their lives on understanding and strengthening their connection with the Force to allow them to manipulate it as an extension of themselves. This connection was increased by rigorous training and meditation to achieve a state of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual harmony, a kind of inner peace.

The dark side of the Force brought with it a great temptation for many Jedi; to many the dark side seemed a quicker and easier path. Pursuit of the dark side, however, was a self-destructive endeavor, and many Jedi who tasted dark powers found it harder and harder to turn away. Though some Jedi could be redeemed back to the path of the light, many fell and became Dark Jedi, some of whom became members of the Sith Order. Further, the pall of the dark side could diminish Jedi ability, clouding their insights into important matters. For these reasons, practice of dark Force powers was often, but not always, forbidden by the Jedi Council.[10]

Those fallen to the dark side, however, the Jedi tried to save. To the Jedi, killing was a last resort. This quality was at once a strength and a weakness of the Order.

The lightsaber[]

ImposingDefense-TPoV

"One of the ways the Jedi learn to know the Force, is to use the lightsaber as an instrument of meditation. The lightsaber is not only a weapon of defense—it is important for focusing the mind. A Jedi uses his lightsaber to assist his connection to the Force."
Master Thon to Nomi Sunrider[11]

The traditional Jedi weapon was the lightsaber, which, in the hands of a skilled wielder, could be deadly in combat, even against opponents armed with ranged weapons. To attain this level of skill, however, required great focus and training. Students practiced the rubrics of lightsaber combat with a remote, and children used training lightsabers. They also dueled fellow Jedi as a test of their skills.

Anakins lightsaber

Due to all the weight being in the hilt, the lightsaber was a difficult weapon to handle. Jedi needed heightened awareness to use the weapon well, and such conditioning helped to hone their connection to the Force. Since the binding of a lightsaber's intricate innards and the initial charging of the power cell also required knowledge of the Force to implement, the Padawan was tasked with constructing their own lightsaber as part of their training, using a unique crystal (such as the type found on the ice planet of Ilum, for example) that focuses the power cell's energy, thus creating the lightsaber's blade.

During the Jedi Civil War era, many Cerean Jedi used specially forged Kasha lightsaber crystals as a meditative tool; by incorporating such crystals into their training regimens, they helped to clear the wielder's mind of distractions, even during tense physical combat. Further, it was a task in itself to find components for the lightsaber. Meditation in a crystal cave on a planet such as Ilum or Dantooine would often produce an image in the Jedi's mind about the lightsaber they were to build. The construction of a lightsaber was considered a milestone on the path to Jedi Knighthood, and took on a heavily symbolic meaning.

During the times of the Old Republic, it was a customary practice for a Jedi Master to present their own personal lightsaber as a gift to their most accomplished student. Jedi apprentice Nomi Sunrider was the recipient of one such lightsaber, receiving the weapon from Master Thon as a testament to the potential for greatness he recognized within her. Though the apprentice was indeed grateful for receiving such an honored gift, their Master would still stress the importance of knowing how to build one, requiring or even demanding that eventually the apprentice learns to construct their own, unique, lightsaber.

The Three Pillars of the Jedi[]

"Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm."
Mace Windu[12]

The strength of the Jedi Code and organization of the Order rested on the three core tenets of Force, Knowledge, and Self-Discipline. Built into a Jedi's everyday life, the Coruscant Jedi Temple's main entrance statuary was illustrative of the three pillars.[10]

Jedi archives

Main corridor of the Jedi Archives

The first pillar was the Force, the constant between all things. Given purpose by the Force, Master Sabla-Mandibu described the Jedi as "swimming in the Force in our every moment—breathing it, tasting it, riding its currents to our unique destines." A symbiosis of midi-chlorians and sentient beings was the key needed to be able to touch the Force, but this biological necessity was not a main focus of Jedi study. Instead, Jedi contemplated the will of the Force and the differences between its two aspects: the Unifying and Living Force.[10]

The Pillar of Knowledge maintained that a Jedi's role in the galaxy could not be filled without intense study and accumulated wisdom. To assist in the pursuit of knowledge, the Temple was equipped with a deep well of knowledge known as the Jedi Archives. In addition to the Archives and supplementary library, the Temple contained several vaults which housed the holocrons of the Order. While an individual could never learn everything within the collection, the presiding Chief Librarian that maintained the collection would argue that it wouldn't hurt to try.[10]

Lastly, the Pillar of Self-Discipline was rightly known as the Third Pillar. Classes on combat and physical training were not given until mastery of the first two tenets was gained. Once ready to study the art of self-discipline, students were oftentimes disappointed to learn that they would not begin intense lightsaber training, but would be encouraged to take on more stringent forms of meditation. Only after mastering oneself could an Initiate proceed to take up a lightsaber for the first time.[10]

Jedi ranks[]

"What kind of nonsense is this?! Put me on the Council and not make me a Master? It's never been done in the history of the Jedi. It's insulting."
―Jedi Knight and council member Anakin Skywalker[13]

As the Jedi instructed their members in the ways of the Jedi Code and the Force, each member progressed through four basic levels of rank.

Bear Clan

Hierarchy[]

  • Jedi Initiate (or "Youngling" or "Jedi Hopeful") – The youngest members of the Order, these Force-sensitive children were given the rank of Initiate when they began their communal training in clans. Recruited from worlds throughout the galaxy where blood testing was required upon birth, Initiates were removed from their families and brought to a Jedi academy for formal training.[10]
Diptych Jedi

  • Jedi Padawan (or "Jedi Apprentice") – After being selected for individual tutelage under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master, Initiates were given the title of Padawan. Eligible for this rank following the successful completion of the Initiate Trials, Padawans were typically taken at adolescence and completed their training away from the academy. Per tradition, Padawans of a hair-growing species would wear a long braid of hair behind their ear; hairless Padawans were encouraged to wear a type of jewelry, a tattoo, or other body modification. A Jedi Knight or Jedi Master could have only one apprentice at a time, and the Padawan had to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight before another apprentice could be chosen, a practice that was formalized following the Great Sith War. While in place, the policy could be suspended when the Order saw a decline in number, and necessity forced the apprenticeship of several students to a single master. Following several unsuccessful attempts at the Initiate Trials or if a student was not chosen by a Master, the Council of Reconciliation would place the student within the Jedi Service Corps. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this might be the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, the Educational Corps or the Exploration Corps. If this role did not suit a particular student, they could choose to leave the Order entirely.[10]
  • Jedi Knight – Following a period of nearly a decade of one-on-one training with a master, a disciplined Padawan was eligible to attempt the Jedi Trials. Upon successfully completing all tests put forth, a Padawan's braid was severed by the High Council and their life as a Knight began. No longer attached to a master, Knights were free to accept missions from the Council, pursue specialized training on one of the three branches of Knighthood, or take their own Padawan.[10]
  • Jedi Master – An experienced Knight who demonstrated great wisdom and understanding of the Force could be elevated to the rank of Master by the High Council. Self-declaration of the title was frowned upon and rare practice in the latter days of the Order, but not uncommon during war times or periods of disbandment. Amongst the Order's Masters, only a select few were appointed to one of the Jedi Councils. Made up exclusively of wise, experienced Masters, the Councils of the Order had different levels of membership, ensuring fresh perspectives were expressed as new events occurred. The High Council was made up of 12 masters, five of them holding life terms, four holding long terms, and three holding short terms. The elected leader of the Council was known as the Master of the Order and was often bestowed upon the acting Grand Master, the recognized leader of the entire Order.[10]

Specialization[]

Upon a Padawan's ascension to Knighthood, they faced the choice of continuing down one of three branches of Jedi training. Choosing based on preference and personal talents and skills, the opportunity to join the ranks of the Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, or Jedi Sentinel was open to all who passed the Jedi Trials. In addition to their specialization, the High Council could demand that the members of the Order assume military ranks in order to defend the Republic.[10]

Jedi Guardian[]

AnakinSkywalker

Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi Guardian

Knights preferring to take a physically active stance against the dark side of the Force and all other threats to the Republic pursued the title of Guardian. Brandishing their lightsabers proudly, Guardians focused much of their training on perfecting their sparring and athletic skills, as well as the art of unarmed combat. The Force skills studied by the Guardians were typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. The most profound masters of this specialization were known as Warrior Master.[10]

  • Jedi Ace – Members of the Jedi Starfighter Corps were known as Aces and specialized and used a starfighter as an extension of their being, combining piloting skills with mastery of the Force.[10]
  • Lightsaber instructors – Stationed at the Jedi academy, these individuals were battle-scarred Masters who were determined to pass down their experience to the young students of the Order. The highest ranking instructor within the academy was given the title of Battlemaster by the High Council and was responsible for selecting and referring future instructors.[10]
  • Jedi Peacekeeper – Those Jedi wishing to pursue a peacekeeping role were stationed within planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they worked as the area's special police. Helping to quell riots and capture terrorists, the Temple Security Force was made up of Peacekeepers. Within its ranks, Jedi could be trained as Gate Master, Sniper, or Brute.[10]
  • Jedi Weapon Master – A Jedi Master who mastered the technique of wielding an exotic weapon was dubbed a Weapons Specialist, or Weapon Master. The Weapon Master was among the greatest physical fighters of the Order.[10]

Jedi Consular[]

Focusing not on physical force but on mastery of the Force and the sharpening of mental skills, the Jedi Knights who became Consulars worked closely with the Republic Diplomatic Corps and medical facilities. Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Consulars worked as healers, prophets, and researchers, wielding a lightsaber only for self-defense. The most studied masters of this specialization were known as Sage Master.[10]

  • Jedi Ambassador – The face of the Republic to each newly discovered world, Ambassadors worked closely with bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the Republic. Some Ambassadors were designated as advisers to certain Senators or even the Supreme Chancellor upon request.[10]
  • Jedi Diplomat – Always right in the middle of a dispute, Jedi Diplomats were given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Senate and Jedi Order. Jedi were often called upon to act as impartial diplomats. This was possibly due to the Order's traditions of detachment from secular society and the phenomenon of Force-guided intuition. They would serve as moderators and negotiators during disputes, and their judgments were recognized as just and binding. When acting as diplomats, Jedi took the utmost care to be impartial and fair-minded. The legacy of this impartiality was such that, decades after the Great Jedi Purge and Palpatine's false accusations of the corruption of the Jedi Order, the legend of Jedi impartiality lived on in the memories of some sections of galactic society. Some species who respected the Jedi—for example, the Barabel—retained a tradition of calling upon a Jedi's impartial judgment even for minor interpersonal disputes.[10]
  • Jedi healer – Some Jedi would focus on the more humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of healing. Led by the Circle of Jedi Healers and headquartered out of the Coruscant Temple's Halls of Healing, healers were also deployed to serve aboard MedStar frigates and, occasionally, in Republic's mobile surgical units, or Rimsoos.[10]
  • Jedi Lore Keeper – Jedi wishing to contribute to the growth of the Jedi Archives would become Lore Keepers, a group directed by the Librarian's Assembly. Divided into historians, archivists, and librarians, each group worked for the proliferation of knowledge and preservation of the past.[10]
  • Jedi Researcher – Solving theory and updating the Archives of the Order, researchers chose specializations such as that in archaeology, geology, biology, mathematics, and astronomy.[10]
  • Jedi Seer – Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force were known as Seers, maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons. The most perceptive of these Jedi were known as Prophets and foretold the future of the galaxy.[10]

Jedi Sentinel[]

71KaiReturntoKashyyykFinal

Kai Justiss was Jedi Watchman of Kashyyyk following the retirement of Master Yoda.

Knights that sought a balance between the intensive combat training of the Jedi Guardians and the wider philosophical views and teaching responsibilities of the Jedi Consulars. These Jedi ferreted out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light. They were generally employed in scouting missions and were skilled in security, computers, or stealth techniques, and also had diplomatic skills.[10]

  • Jedi Investigator – Jedi specially appointed by the High Council to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy against the Republic and other shady menaces. The Jedi investigator would often work alone and undercover to infiltrate suspicious organizations or would be busy investigating some act of crime.[10]
  • Jedi Recruiters – Working as members of the Acquisition Division of the Order, the recruiters honed the talents learned from Jedi Investigators to track down and identify Force-sensitives to assess whether they belonged in the Jedi Order. Republic law required all newborns undergo testing, with potential candidates' names being recorded in the Division's prized Kyber memory crystal. After the child had aged a few months, the Order would dispatch a recruiter to test the child and see if they met the qualifications to begin training on the Jedi Path.
  • Jedi Shadow – The secret police of the Order, Shadows worked under the supervision of the First Knowledge Council and were dispatched to destroy all agents of the dark side. Heavily employed after the New Sith Wars, the Shadows were responsible for erasing the word "Sith" from the minds of the majority of galactic citizens.[10]
  • Jedi Temple Guard – Anonymous sentinels who served as security force and reported to Jedi Master Cin Drallig, who headed the Temple's security detail. They wore formal robes and identity-concealing masks, the ultimate expression of emotional detachment required in service to a higher calling. Temple Guards carried imposing lightsaber pikes—thick, double-bladed weapons that produced a rare and distinctive yellow blade.
  • Jedi Watchman – Charged with overseeing a particular system or sector, a watchman served as a liaison officer between the system or sector and the High Council as well as the Republic in general. Jedi Watchmen were often highly skilled in diplomacy and knew the culture of the system or sector they oversaw, typically having lived many years amongst the people of said world.[10]

Military and warfare[]

"We're often called a militant Order, but do you know one of the principal differences between the military and the Jedi Order? The military are expected to follow orders, even when they feel those orders are not what's right. The Jedi are expected to do what's right, even when the course of action runs contrary to orders."
―Jedi Master Cilghal[14]

In times of war, especially when Sith forces were involved, Jedi would sometimes assume military ranks and govern armies of Republic military units, as was seen in the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, the New Sith Wars, and the Clone Wars. So Jedi indeed became soldiers, not just keepers of the peace. During the New Sith Wars, the Order created the Army of Light, a massive military branch that consisted of the majority of active Jedi.

  • Jedi Commander – A Padawan serving as a Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic, the Jedi Commander was assigned to a Jedi General until knighted. Once a full Jedi, the Padawan was then referred to as General.
  • Jedi General – Jedi Knights or Masters who had been placed in command of a Republic army were dubbed Generals. Jedi Masters could become Senior Jedi General, leading one of the twenty Sector Armies. Out of the twelve High Council members, some became High Jedi Generals not only commanding their own Systems Army, but also supervising all other ranking Jedi.
  • Jedi Lord – a Jedi who served as a commander in the Army of Light during the New Sith Wars. The Jedi Lord assumed this title mainly out of political motivation. The rank was abolished after the war.

The Chosen One[]

"… A Jedi will come, to destroy the Sith, and bring balance to the Force."
Great Holocron[15]
AnakinPrime

Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One

The prophecy of the Chosen One was an ancient Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who was "to bring balance to the Force." This prophecy was interpreted by Qui-Gon and other Jedi to mean that he would destroy the Sith. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that a young Anakin Skywalker was that person when he discovered him in 32 BBY, because of Anakin's exceptionally high midi-chlorian count and unique birth.

At first, many Jedi believed Anakin to be the Chosen One because of his seemingly incomparable power. Later, though, it seemed that he was not the Chosen One, since he fell to the dark side, and as Darth Vader, was a central figure in the destruction of the Jedi Order. However, in 4 ABY he redeemed himself with his decision to stand against Emperor and Sith Lord Palpatine, sacrificing himself to save his son, Luke, and finally destroying the Sith Order in the process. This action proved Qui-Gon and various others correct at last in that he in fact was the Chosen One. With the deaths of both Palpatine and Vader, the Force was brought into a certain "balance."[16]

In later years, however the idea that Anakin was the Chosen One was largely rejected by the Jedi.[17]

Behind the scenes[]

The "Failed Jedi", "Minor Jedi", and "Quixotic Jedi" were three of the original twenty-four character templates used by the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, first published in the first edition rulebook.[18]
