Jedi

There are many things Jedi cannot do, one of which involves becoming a senator. However, Jedi, through the Council of Reconciliation, can work as diplomats or ambassadors, closely aligning themselves with senators and the Republic’s political affairs.  A Star Wars senator represents their home world in the Galactic Republic, receiving appointments through planetary leaders. Jedi …

Jedi, like any living being, have feelings. However, the Jedi Code states, “There is no emotion, there is peace.” Therefore, the Jedi, given their code and strict upbringings in the Jedi Temple, it’s safe to say that Jedi learn to control their feelings, and appear emotionless.  Jedi are allowed to have emotions, as shown several …

Jedi Code forbids Jedi from using Force lightning because to conjure it, one must seek strength that would put them in danger of falling to the Dark Side. However, some Jedi can create electrical judgment and other Force lightning-like powers, such as electrical judgment.  Jedi cannot use Force lightning because of the power it requires. …

In every factor of life, people need something to believe in. Whether it be the belief in God, science, or themselves this gives the individual a sense of hope. Without faith or belief in anything can lead to nihilism. That being, the rejection of all religious and moral practices, all in the belief that life …

The Sith were power-hungry Force-sensitive beings who used the dark side of the Force to achieve their goals. Rage, anger, hate, and passion were notable Sith traits, hence their red lightsabers. But given their corrupt ways could Sith become a Jedi? There are many examples of Sith turning to the light side and becoming a …

There are many reasons why Palaptine hated the Jedi, (and some I hope will surprise you). It wasn’t simply because he became a Sith lord and the Jedi are his natural enemies. But because of specific things the Jedi have done. Both to the galaxy under the name of good and to him personally. (Or …

Yes. There’s been some confusion about this, but Jedi do have emotions. They have to learn how to control them. Everywhere in visual media, (movies, games, etc), we see many cases of a Jedi being emotional. Whether it’s Yoda teasing someone or a Force ghost smiling proudly from a distance, Jedi have the same range …

While it appears all Jedi fight right-handed given their stance during lightsaber duels, the possibility exists that some are left-handed. This topic has received little attention throughout the fandom, but we can point to a few clues to discover which Jedi favor their left hand.  There are few known left-handed Jedi besides Luke Skywalker and …

This is the hardest question concerning Star Wars that I’ve tackled. There’s no official answer, and legends can’t help either. That said, I’ll be using my interpretations, knowledge from movies and TV shows, as well as good old fashioned common sense. Do Jedi become stronger with age? Yes and no. It depends largely on the …

The most popular answer is 4.6 meters, but using the Force means you can jump in any direction you want. And a certain green Jedi does it very well in the prequel trilogy.  When people talk about jumping, they usually refer to jumping up, but there are also many times when someone has to jump …

Anyone who has had a pet knows that it can be the best thing to happen to you. Pets can give you a sense of happiness and companionship that you just can’t find in another person.  Nowhere else can you find the sense of loyalty and unwavering love that you’ll get in your little furry …

No, they don’t, but they wore them because most members of the Old Jedi Order were raised to live very similar to monks. Having no possessions except a lightsaber. Wearing a robe or cloak doesn’t mean you’re a Jedi, but in many worlds, wearing a robe is normal. They’re good for concealing identities and helping …

The answer to whether Jedi live longer than non-Force-sensitive beings varies. Some Jedi, like Yoda, live for nine centuries. Regardless of their species, since Jedi are Force-sensitive, they can both live longer and even keep a youthful appearance for a finite time.  Depending on their Force-sensitivity, Jedi may live longer. It’s uncommon, but not unheard …

Jedi learn to block lasers early in their Jedi training. As with most maneuvers inside a Jedi’s toolbox, blocking lasers involves using the Force.  Using low-powered lightsabers early in their training, younglings learn to attune themselves with the Force. They entwine their thoughts and actions into a single flow of energy, using themselves as a …

Throughout Star Wars Canon and Legends, Jedi have turned to the Sith. Anakin Skywalker is the most notable, having become Darth Vader in Episode III. Skywalker is one of many Jedi who have turned to the Dark Side for a variety of reasons, but he isn’t the only one.   Jedi can use Sith powers since …

In Star Wars Legends, Luke Skywalker first became a Jedi Master in the book Jedi Search. However, in Star Wars Canon, fans debate whether Luke was really a Jedi Master given his failure to advance any of his Padawans like Grogu, Leia, and Ben Solo to Knighthood.  Despite overall fan debate in the canon, it’s …

Since Force-sensitivity, not gender, determines who is and who isn’t Jedi, a Jedi can be a girl. And like their male counterparts, their power varies depending on how much Force-sensitivity they possess. And throughout the franchise, there have been many powerful female Jedi.   There are many female Jedis, but they didn’t gain prominence in the …

In the Star Wars universe, much like our own, death is inevitable. In fact, one might even say death is even more prevalent in the Star Wars world. The Jedi, being perhaps the closest to humans in the franchise, follow some of the same practices as ours when someone passes on. Just like in real …

The Jedi in Star Wars movies are usually depicted as living solitary lives. Master Yoda may come to mind, living alone on the swampy planet of Dagobah. Or, how we encounter Obi-Wan Kenobi living in the rock caves on Tatooine. Other times, Jedi tend to be training only with other Jedi. So, it seems unlikely …

Throughout the Star Wars universe, the Jedi are seen as heroes. So much so that sometimes it is forgotten that they are often humanoid creatures. The key feature of this word, “humanoid,” is human. Meaning that the Jedi do share some features with us humans. Mainly, they share in our lack of immortality. Everyone hates …
