This is a tricky one because the term, Gray Jedi is often used to describe Jedi who completed their training, but for various reasons don’t obey the Jedi High Council. Qui-Gon Jinn has been called a Gray Jedi, but no one would consider him to be bad, just stubborn.  Who Are Gray Jedi? The term …

In The Last Jedi, Luke enjoyed the spoils of his labor as he could lead a peaceful existence. Away from the distractions of others in the galaxy. That was until Rey came bouncing into his life.  She was adamant about learning the ways of the Jedi and the light side of the Force at large. …

Throughout Star Wars Canon and Legends, hordes of Jedi turned to the dark side. Some, you know well, like Anakin Skywalker and Ben Solo. Others are more obscure in the franchise and appear before or after the Skywalker Saga.   Temptations led many Jedi astray. They either held self-centered interests, or, like Anakin, succumbed to …

Metaphysical and religious thought exists among the Jedi living in the Star Wars Universe. And that religious ideology has come to our galaxy. People have found purpose in embracing the Jedi way of life, so much that official organizations have sprung up teaching Jediism’s principles.  Jedi exist in real life, to the point that many …

Padawans refer to their trainers as ‘Master.’ However, this is a sign of respect, and their trainer is not always a Jedi Master.

Jedi training technically never stops. Even after one becomes a Jedi Knight or even a Jedi Master. However, one becomes a full member of the Jedi Order once they achieve Knighthood upon completing their Jedi trials.  While it takes most Jedi at least two decades to become a Jedi Knight from their youngling days, the …

Before you get your lightsabers out, let me start by saying that George Lucas said she’s the strongest Jedi now. But, if we compare her to certain Jedi, (like Luke Skywalker), in their prime then we get a whole new game. How Strong Is Rey Compared To Other Jedi? Depends on if we stick to …

While Order 66 kicked off the Great Jedi Purge, it didn’t kill off all the Jedi. Some notable names like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the initial purge and they didn’t meet their deaths until roughly two decades later.  Canonically, less than 20 known Jedi survived after Order 66. And an even smaller number lived …

Clothing is one of the greatest expressions of oneself that a person could have.

Who do you send when you want to get rid of a Jedi? Sith? No. Clone Troopers? No, but that’s close. Bounty hunters? We’re getting warmer! The answer is a Mandalorian. Are they a race? Is it a creed? Is it the way?  Yes! And no. In a rare form of unity that combines canon …

The moment we are born, we begin learning. It starts by simply learning our parents’ voices and how to adjust to life outside the womb. Then it evolves into us learning to walk, talk, dress, and more. From there the things we learn to become more complex, such as learning to navigate emotions and feelings, …

Duel-wielding is both cooler and a lot harder than using a single lightsaber, or any fighting style that involves using both hands. And though we’ve seen both Jedi and Sith use this style, (first appearance, Episode 2), not many seem to use it. From a historical standpoint, your dominant hand is meant for striking while …

Jediism’s roots may lie in the fictional Star Wars Universe. However, many fans and even those looking to develop their personal relationship with a higher power have adopted the Jedi way of life as a real religion.  Some governments see Jedi as a real religion, given its tax-exempt status in the United States. Others, like …

Ever since Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, audiences have thought that Leia had Force powers. This movie hints that Luke Skywalker is her brother.

In Star Wars Canon and Legends, we meet several Jedi Masters, one of the rarest ranks in the Jedi Order.

The Jedi and the Sith are the two major groups that almost exclusively use lightsabers. However, they’re not the only beings in the galaxy allowed to wield and use them. There have been numerous times non-Force-sensitive beings used these weapons, even against Jedi.  The Sith wield lightsabers and not all of them have done so …

Dieting has always been a touchy topic for most people in life. Whether you are strictly vegan or subscribe to a keto diet, your diet is special to you.  People from every angle of the diet spectrum butt heads, thinking that their way is the right way. This is completely wrong thinking, and fortunately, Star …

It’s not that the Jedi don’t use blasters; they will in times of great need, such as during the Rebellion Period in the Original Trilogy. Therefore, the lightsaber is their chosen weapon because it’s an extension of themselves.  Blasters also don’t fit with a Jedi’s calling, which is to serve as peacekeepers and advisors. They …

Jedi go into exile for a number of reasons. Some exile themselves if they feel they failed to uphold their duty, while the Jedi Order forces others into exile.
