The Jedi Temple is located on Coruscant and the Jedi have made their home on the planet for five millennia. But there is a dark reason the Jedi built the Temple here, and it goes far beyond Coruscant’s status as the Galactic Republic’s capital.  The Jedi built the Temple on Coruscant for two primary reasons: …

Some Jedi start training when they’re infants, and it was rare to see any beginning beyond five years of age. For the Jedi Order, the younger one began training, the better, as it allowed them to understand and master the Jedi Code.  The Jedi believed that those who started training later were often more prone …

Every living being in Star Wars is special in its own way. Whether it be through strength, intelligence, or simply being kind.  Of course, just like in our reality, some have a slight edge over others. In the case of Star Wars, these blessed beings are the Force-sensitives.  Force-sensitive individuals have an advantage because they …

Ever since the first Star Wars movie, it appears that some Jedi can become immortal.  In Episode IV: A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi famously says to Darth Vader, “If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” He seems to indicate that he will live on even after dying …

A Jedi can jump far and sometimes an incredible distance. Starting with Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, we see Luke Skywalker jump clear out of the carbon freeze chamber.

In the Skywalker Saga, we see many examples of Jedi who have become master pilots. From Anakin and Luke Skywaker to Rey Skywalker, their Force-sensitivity makes them just as effective from the air as they are from the ground.  Force-sensitivity is not a prerequisite to becoming a good pilot, and not all Jedi become good …

In 19 BBY, Barriss Offee, fed up with the Jedi Order’s role in the Clone Wars, bombed the Jedi Temple, resulting in multiple casualties. She framed her best friend, Ahsoka Tano, prompting a high-stakes court hearing. Although proven innocent, Tano left the Order.  Ahsoka, with little trust left in herself and having lost faith in …

Jedi are well-known for being peaceful, calm warriors with a zen-like focus on the Force, but does that mean that Jedi are incapable of negative emotion? Are they somehow immune to the frustration and pain that we all face? They’re not robots, after all. Fear, anger, hate, and suffering are the path to the dark …

In The Mandalorian, it seems like everyone forgot about the Jedi, despite the Clone Wars having taken place just two-and-a-half decades before. But, when someone like Darth Sidious called the shots, his demonization and erasure of Jedi history could serve as the culprit.  Order 66 was just the start of what became the erasure of …

The Force is one of the most important elements in the Star Wars galaxy. It abides within all living beings and serves as a binding agent for them.

The term Jedi has a winding history which dates back over 37 millennia BBY. Their ancestors started off as nothing more than a group of monks looking to study the Force.

It’s no question that the more Force-sensitive beings of the Star Wars universe have an advantage over the rest.  They are the ones who can source and use the full potential of the Kyber Crystal. Well, the light side Force users are, to be exact. Force-sensitives are the ones who have an extended life span. …

Every religious group has its practices and set of rules that govern the everyday movements of its members. Whether praying, fasting, or having to do an excursion in nature, they all have something that brings them closer to the deity they recognize.  The Star Wars universe is not different. There’s a significant amount of realism …

The Jedi and Sith dominate the Star Wars universe and they’re synonymous with either the light, or dark side of the Force. But the Grays did not tap in exclusively to the light or dark. Since we know light-sided Jedi can become Force ghosts, does the same hold true for Gray Jedi? The Gray Jedi …

The Prequel Trilogy in Star Wars boasted two powerful Jedi in Mace Windu and Yoda.  They were so powerful that they held the highest ranks in the Jedi Order, with Windu serving as the Master of the Jedi Order, and Yoda, the Jedi Grand Master. So who was the stronger Jedi? Yoda once beat Mace …

Former Jedi Grand Master Yoda was among the most respected Jedi in Star Wars Canon and Legends.

However, Yoda …

The Mandalorians are a collective group of various species that reside on the planet Mandalore. This clan is bound together by one language, affiliation, and common goal. The planet isn’t green and lush, rather it’s morse desert-like and sits in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. Throughout galactic history, the Mandalorians were a flourishing …

Star Wars is not the classic good versus evil trope it once led us to believe. Instead, the saga gives us a different trope: one that seeks balance. Solely embracing one side of the Force over the other never ends well in the history of the franchise, Canon or Legends.  Luke wanted the Jedi to …

In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker exclaimed the infamous line, “From my point-of-view, the Jedi are evil!” While the Jedi looked like a flawless bunch on the surface, their inherent flaws led Anakin to lose his trust in them and turn to the Sith.  The Jedi Code prohibited emotional attachments, forcing Anakin to keep …
