What is the Jedi Order? Protectors of Hope

Hey! Do you know what’s cooler than a polar bear’s toenails? The Jedi Order, that’s what! These super monks were all about serving the light side of the Force and keeping the peace in the Galactic Republic. They were so skilled with their lightsabers and the Force that they had the whole galaxy impressed. And get this, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker changed their name to the New Jedi Order! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a part of that awesomeness?

Rise of the Jedi

Guess what’s cooler than cool? The Jedi Order’s history! It all started on Ahch-To, a planet far, far away. Then they set up their own Grand Temple on Coruscant – talk about fancy digs! Younglings and Padawans were taught the ways of the Force by Jedi Masters, and the temple had the most awesome library filled with Force-related info and artifacts. The Jedi High Council was no joke. They were made up of twelve top-notch Masters who had a real say in what was going on in the rest of the galaxy. Trust us, their meetings were the hottest ticket in town! Pretty awesome stuff, right?

The Jedi Order Code

The Way of the Jedi

So here’s a fun fact for you: all Jedi followed a code! It was like the jedi bible or something. And guess what? It wasn’t even hard to follow! Basically, it just helped them be the best jedi they could be by staying in control of their emotions and using their powers for good. So if you wanna be a total jedi pro, just keep the code in mind and you’ll be on your way to saving the galaxy in no time!

The Fallen Jedi - The Sith Order

Let’s talk about some totally wicked dudes… or are they? Did you know that the Sith Order was created because some Jedi split off to explore the dark side of the Force? Talk about drama! This led to centuries of epic battles between the Jedi and the Sith. Thankfully, the Jedi came out on top, but not before the Old Republic fell. But don’t worry, the Sith mostly disappeared and the Galactic Republic rose up under Jedi protection. Phew! Who else is on the edge of their seat?

Always Two there are: The Rule of Two

Ooooh, have you ever heard of Darth Bane? He was like the ultimate Sith Lord, the only one left standing! Plus he totally changed up the whole Sith game with his Rule of Two. Basically, there can only be two Sith at a time: one super-powerful master and one eager-to-learn apprentice. They kept this secret for centuries while the Jedi were out here with like a million members. It’s insane how different their approaches are! Can you imagine trying to keep a secret like that for so long? #SithLife

Dark Lord's Unending Reign.

So there were a new generation of Sith Lords that came about after the Republic and Jedi ended their old wars with the Sith. It’s actually a super cool part of history! It all began with Bane’s legacy and eventually brought about the rise of Darth Sidious about thirty years before the Battle of Yavin. Even though the Jedi and Republic have moved on, it’s hilarious how history can still have an impact on the present. Isn’t that wild?

Unleashing the Clone Wars

Hey, let’s go on a wild ride into the final years of the Republic! It’s seriously juicy stuff! The Jedi Order pledged loyalty to the Galactic Senate, but then some crazy secessionist folks made the Confederacy of Independent Systems. And get this, the Jedi were leading the Grand Army of the Republic, like real bosses! 

But wait, it gets spicy! During the Clone Wars, things got heated with the droid forces of General Grievous and Count Dooku causing trouble for the Confederacy. And hold up, Senator Sheev Palpatine of Naboo was secretly taking over (talk about drama!), with the Sith up to no good behind the scenes! What a thrill, right?! Those Sith really know how to shake things up.

Order 66: The Great Jedi Purge Begins

Alright folks, time to dive into Order 66! You know, that sneaky plan the Chancellor cooked up to take down the Jedi Order and make the Galactic Empire official. And guess what? He even convinced Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, to join the dark side as Darth Vader! But don’t fret, Luke Skywalker came to the rescue and learned some Jedi skills from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, who miraculously survived the attack. And in the end, Anakin fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One and defeated the Sith Lord, but not before Luke helped his dad turn away from the dark side. Ain’t redemption just the best?

Rising from the Ashes: A New Jedi Order Emerges

Did you know that the Galactic Civil War was the ultimate showdown between the Empire and the Alliance, resulting in a fresh new Republic? Luke Skywalker totally rocked it by training a bunch of new Jedi Knights, including Han Solo and Leia Organa’s son Ben Solo. But hold onto your helmets, because things got wild when Ben got tempted by the dark side and became the notorious Kylo Ren. The Force is strong with this one! May the playful vibes be with you, always.

Force awakens in Rey

Anyway, so Ren made a HUGE oopsie and now the Jedi training temple is a hot mess. Skywalker feels guilty and bolts, but leaves behind a treasure map to find him on this killer planet called Ahch-To. The Resistance and the First Order both want that map BAD, but this total badass scavenger babe Rey snags it for the Resistance. Using the map, Rey sets out on a wild adventure to find Ahch-To, the ultimate destination for any Jedi fan, and where Luke was secretly laying low.

Darkness rises, hope remains

Whoa, Skywalker wasn’t really feeling it with training new Jedi. He had been through so many challenges that he didn’t want any more trouble. But then, out of nowhere, Kylo Ren knocks out Snoke and becomes the new top dog. The Resistance was able to bounce from Crait, which was pretty cool. Skywalker had a lightbulb moment and knew that there would be more Jedi to follow in his footsteps. He vanished into the Force, but not before projecting himself across the galaxy to talk to his nephew. That was seriously brave and gave the galaxy some serious hope like a true legend!

The Emperor Strikes Back: Sidious Returns

Hey there! Guess what? Darth Sidious came back from the dead and tried to mess with Kylo Ren. He was all like, “Go take out Rey and destroy the Jedi Order!” But guess who won? Yeah, Rey, with the help of the Jedi spirits! Even though she got hurt, Rey managed to take down Sidious. 

Sadly, Solo had to give his life to save hers, but he became one with the Force and was the last surviving Skywalker. So, you ready for the coolest part? Rey decided to honor her teachers and picked the name Skywalker! That’s right, she chose to keep their memory alive and work towards bringing the Jedi Order back to its former glory! How epic is that?

Conclusion

Oh my gosh, can you believe how cool the Jedi Order was? They were legit amazing! Their mission was to bring peace and balance to the galaxy by serving the Force and keeping everyone safe. It’s like something straight out of a blockbuster sci-fi movie! Although they faced some tough times, their teachings still ring true today and inspire us to do the right thing. Let’s all take a page from their book and show some courage by sticking up for what’s right. We have the power to make a difference in our world just like the Jedi Order did! May the Force be with us always as we go out there and rock this galaxy!
