| Jedi Battle Meditation: A powerful Jedi technique, it is used to influence tho outcome of a battle by visualizing the desired result. Ancient skilled users of the technique included Jedi Master Arca Jeth and Jedi Nomi Sunrider. |
| Jedi Code: The philosophy that sums up the beliefs of the Jedi Knights is embodied in this credo: There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force. A Jedi does not act for personal power or wealth but seeks knowledge and enlightenment. A true Jedi never acts from hatred, anger, fear, or aggression but acts when calm and at peace with the Force. |
| Jedi Holocron: A respository of Jedi knowledge and teaching, these legendary artifacts are palm-sized glowing cubes of crystal that employ primitive hologramic technology along with the Force to provide an interactive learning device. Mysterious designs are etched into Jedi Holocrons, hinting at their true age. A Holocroncan usually be activated only by a Jedi, who can then seem to have a conversation with long-dead Jedi whose teachings infuse the particular Holocron. |
| Jedi Knights: Protectors of the Old Republic from the time it arose some 25,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, they were guardians of justice and freedom, the most respected and powerful force for good for more than a thousand generations. The Jedi seemed to have supernatural skills, especially when wielding their lightsaber weapons. But a Jedi's real strength and power has always come from an ability to tap into and manipulate the Force. However, within the Force itself lie the seeds of self-destruction: the dark side, an unrelenting evil that grants power but is hollow and corrupt at its core. First the Republic itself fell to the corruption of its leaders, and the Empire was born. Then, before the Jedi could move against him, Emperor Palpatine used one of their own to destroy the Jedi. Through treachery, deception, and the actions of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, the Jedi were largely exterminated. Only a few remained. One of them, a Jedi Master named Yoda, trained young Luke Skywalker as the first new line of Jedi Knights. Following the Battle of Endor, Luke started searching the galaxy for other Jedi and started an academy to train those strong in the Force. |
| Jedi Master: An honorific given to the greatest of Jedi, those who are strong enough in the Force and patient enough in life - and even beyond - to pass on their skills by teaching a new generation of Jedi. In the darkest days of the Empire, nearly all the Jedi Masters were hunted down and wiped out. But on the backwater planet of Dagobah, a 900-year-old Jedi Master named Yoda managed to survive to train the first of a new generation of Jedi, Luke Skywalker. |
| Jedi Reader: A device used by minions of the Emperor in hunting down Jedi, it exposed Force-sensitive individuals. Silvery paddles were run down suspects' bodies, and if the individuals were Force-sensitive, a wire-frame shilhouette of their bodies with a flickering blue outline would appear on crystal readers attached to the paddles. |
| Lost City of the Jedi: Buried deep below the surface of Yavin 4, the city was built long ago by ancient Jedi Knights and held great Jedi secrets in its computer library. Droids cared for the city and its hidden knowledge for ages. Ken, the grandson of Emperor Palpatine, was raised in the city by the droid DJ-88 and taught to rejeact the dark side. Under the sway of a truth serum, Ken betrayed the city's location to dark-side prophet Kadaan, but Kadaan and his troopers were trapped inside the shut-down city by Alliance leaders on the surface, and the Jedi secrets were lost forever after a trooper accidentally destroyed the library computer. |
