The Jedi are a fictional monastic peacekeeping organization from the Star Wars saga, known for their talent in The Force. Many Jedi are central characters in the Star Wars movies and additional works, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker. Much of the Star Wars movie sequence is about the downfall and restoration of the Jedi order. They use the living things around them to manupilate the living force.

Origins of the Order

---

The word "Jedi" is said to have been adapted by George Lucas from "jidaigeki" (Japanese for "period drama" movies about samurai), perhaps contaminated by association with the warrior's title "jed" found in the Barsoom books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, a series which Lucas considered adapting to film before his work on Star Wars.

The Jedi Knights were an order of individuals who had the ability to touch and work with the Force. Shunning the dark side (the "evil" side of the Force, known in ancient times as the "Bogan"), the Jedi followed the light side (the "good" side, or "Ashla") of the Force, using their power for unselfish, socially-beneficial acts. The order began tens of thousands of years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. Many ancient and semi-legendary organizations have been proposed as the forerunners of the Jedi Order, such as the Order of Dai Bendu or the Chatos Academy, but no conclusive links have ever been shown. Likewise, the birth planet of the Order is unknown. There are many candidates, including such known worlds as Coruscant, Ossus, Corellia, and Utapau, as well as mythic, lost planets such as Had Abbadon, and Ondos.
