History

The Jedi Council convening on Coruscant

The Jedi served the Republic for over a thousand generations, acting as peacekeepers. But with the reemergence of the Sith, ancient dark side practitioners, the fate of the Jedi would take a sad turn.

Yoda sensing the purge of the Jedi

Orchestrating the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious pulled the galaxy apart with the Jedi caught in the middle. With the the issue of Order 66, Emperor Palpatine -- in reality, Darth Sidious himself -- named every Jedi an enemy of the Republic and eradicated the Order. Anakin Skywalker, once believed to be the Chosen One, turned to the dark side and helped the Empire destroy the Jedi.

Obi-Wan on Tatooine

While the Sith had gained control of the galaxy, Jedi Masters Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the purge – as did a few other Jedi. Some fell to darkness, becoming the Emperor’s feared Inquisitors. Others lived in secrets, becoming hermits or hiding their powers. And a few – such as Kanan Jarrus and Ahsoka Tano – worked to nurture the seeds of rebellion.

Luke with lightsaber in Ben’s hut

And there was a new hope. On Tatooine, Obi-Wan watched over Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin, until he was ready to be trained in the ways of the Force. Luke would destroy the Death Star, further his training on Dagobah with Yoda, and ultimately bring Anakin back to the light, defeating Sidious. The Empire created by Sidious and Vader soon crumbled.

Luke on Ahch-To

Luke’s dreams of rebuilding the Jedi Order ended in disaster, with his temple destroyed and his nephew Ben Solo fallen into darkness. Convinced the Jedi had to end to break an ancient and destructive cycle, Luke retreated to Ahch-To, site of the first Jedi Temple, to live as a hermit and cut himself off from the Force. But Rey – a powerful, untrained Force user with mysterious origins – found him there. Reluctantly, Luke trained her and then sacrificed himself to save the Resistance.

Rey faces off with Sidious

Luke’s setbacks had been partially engineered by Sidious, who had returned to life and worked in secret to foil the restoration of the Jedi and the Republic. On Exegol, Sidious and his Sith cultists sought to create a new Sith empire that would rule forever. He was opposed by Rey, who had saved the founding Jedi texts from Ahch-To. In a climactic showdown with Palpatine, Rey opened herself to the Force and was lifted by the spirits of the Jedi who had come before her. The Jedi Order might be gone, but its strength was far from spent.

    Jedi Temple

    Instantly recognizable by its distinctive crown of five spires, the Jedi Temple was the home of the Jedi Order on Coruscant. Part school and part monastery, the Jedi Temple was the central hub for all Jedi activities in the galaxy. When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine enacted Order 66, clone troops led by the newly risen Darth Vader attacked the temple, massacring its inhabitants and leaving the structure badly damaged. With the Empire triumphant, the Jedi Temple’s spires still rose into the Coruscant skies. But the building was now the Imperial Palace, home to the Sith Lord who had destroyed the Jedi.

  • The Force

    default

    The Force

    The Force is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together. Harnessing the power of the Force gives the Jedi, the Sith, and others sensitive to this spiritual energy extraordinary abilities, such as levitating objects, tricking minds, and seeing things before they happen. While the Force can grant users powerful abilities, it also directs their actions. And it has a will of its own, which both scholars and mystics have spent millennia seeking to understand.

  • Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.

    Rey

    Seemingly abandoned by her parents on Jakku, Rey grew up a scavenger amid the wreckage of war. Her life changed when she agreed to help a droid on an urgent mission for the Resistance. Rey discovered she was powerful in the Force, and sought out the vanished Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to train her. That ended in disappointment, as did her attempt to bring Kylo Ren back to the light. But the resilient Rey continued her training and learned the truth about her parentage and her mysterious connection with Kylo. She then faced her greatest test: a confrontation with fear and evil that would determine the galaxy’s fate.

    Supreme Leader Kylo Ren

    The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke. Driven to destroy the past, Kylo killed his father and his master, supplanting Snoke as Supreme Leader. But he remained haunted by his father’s death, his connection with the mysterious Rey, and the pull of the good in himself. In time, all three would help Ben Solo return to the light.

  • Mace Windu

    Mace Windu

    A grim Jedi Master with an amethyst-bladed lightsaber, Mace Windu was the champion of the Jedi Order, with little tolerance for the failings of the Senate, the arguments of politicians, or the opinions of rebellious Jedi. As the Clone Wars intensified, Mace sensed the dark side of the Force at work, and knew the Jedi's enemies were plotting to destroy the Order and end its stewardship of the galaxy.

    Lightsaber

    The lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi, an elegant weapon of a more civilized age. It can be used to cut through blast doors or enemies alike. Using the Force, a Jedi can predict and deflect incoming blaster bolts, and reflect them.

  • Luke Skywalker

    Luke Skywalker

    Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith. A generation later, the location of the famed Jedi master was one of the galaxy’s greatest mysteries. Haunted by Ben Solo’s fall to evil and convinced the Jedi had to end, Luke sought exile on a distant world, ignoring the galaxy’s pleas for help. But his solitude would be interrupted – and Luke Skywalker had one final, momentous role to play in the struggle between good and evil.

    Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.

  • Ahsoka Tano

    Ahsoka Tano

    Former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano once served as the Padawan learner to the Jedi Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. A respected leader and warrior attuned to the light side of the Force, Ahsoka grew into a formidable fighter before the Empire’s reign changed the course of galactic history. Although she walked away from the Jedi Order, she continued to stand up for those fighting for peace and justice in the galaxy long after the fall of the Republic.

    Ezra Bridger

    One of the few to be trained as a Jedi after the fall of the Republic, Ezra Bridger grew up an orphan on the streets of Lothal during the age of the Empire. Although he had learned to be wary of strangers, his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Imperial regime, changed his outlook and his future. Training in the ways of the Force under the mentorship of Kanan Jarrus, Ezra became a Jedi Padawan and a part of the emerging rebellion. He also grew close to Hera Syndulla, Zeb, Chopper, and Sabine Wren, who was like a sister in his new found family. After several years together, Bridger vanished during the Battle of Lothal, disappearing into parts unknown in a hyperspace jump that pulled Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn into deep space.

  • Sith

Notable for their red-bladed lightsabers, black dress, and use of their aggressive feelings, the Sith look to amass power at all costs. The evil Darth Sidious, along with his apprentice Darth Vader, achieved the Sith goal of galactic conquest after a millennia of plotting.
