Jedi code

Jedi code

In the Star Wars fiction as well as in Jediism, becoming a Jedi requires commitment, as Jedi instruction is structured and codified to enforce discipline and hinder transgression. The Jedi Code is portrayed as being the central philosophy and dogma.

The Jedi codes in Star Wars

Several versions of the code exist in the Star Wars Universe. The best known code is the one being used by the Jedi in the old republic era, including the Star Wars prequels and the KOTOR times. By the time of the Clone Wars it included many fairly esoteric prohibitions far removed from the core beliefs of a Jedi, such as a doctrine that training shall only begin in infancy. [Brooks, Terry "Episode 1: The Phantom Menace",pg 149, Lucas Books and Del Rey 1998] However, throughout all of these changes there was a central, core part of the code that remained the fundamental belief of a Jedi. There are also two other codes, the oldest

The Jedi code of the old republic era

This code was the focus of meditations on the Force by the Jedi Master Odan-Urr, a veteran of The Great Hyperspace War.J.D. Wiker, "Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook" (hardcover; Wizards of the Coast, 2001), ISBN 0-786-92781-X.]


* There is no emotion, there is peace.
* There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
* There is no passion, there is serenity.
* There is no chaos, there is harmony.(*)
* There is no death, there is the Force. [cite web | last = | first = | year = | url = http://www.starwars.com/databank/updates/news20010613.html| title =The Jedi Code | publisher = The Official Star Wars Website| accessdate = 2006-11-27]

(*)The Star Wars roleplaying game supplement "Tales of the Jedi", published by West End Games in 1996, added a fifth line "There is no chaos; there is harmony", falling between the third and fourth lines above. The video game published in 2003 also featured this five-line version. However, all others before or since, going back to the Code's original form as first presented in the 1980s Star Wars Roleplaying Game have only the four lines above. The Star Wars official website still currently features the four-line version as well [http://www.starwars.com/databank/updates/news20010613.html] .

The Jedi code of the new republic era

During the restructuring of the Jedi Order by the now Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, a new code was established for easier interpretation for the newer generation of Jedi. The code retained the same core beliefs as the millennia old code, rewritten for better understanding.


* Jedi are the guardians of peace in the Galaxy.
* Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others.
* Jedi respect all life, in any form.
* Jedi serve others rather than rule over them, for the good of the Galaxy.
* Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

The Jedi Vow

[http://www.jedisanctuary.org/articles/index.php?page=the-jedi-vow-and-creed Jedi Sancutary - The Jedi Vow] ]


*I am a Jedi in my heart,
*a Jedi in my mind,
*a Jedi in my soul,
*a Jedi in my spirit,
*and a Jedi in all that I do and say.
*I choose the path of the Jedi as a way and means to do that which is right, to illumination, to inner peace, and to calmness of mind.
*I choose the path of the Jedi to express my profound allegiance and devotion to the Living Force.
*I vow to uphold the Jedi teachings, and hereby devote my life to the cause of the Jedi, that I in turn may earn the right to be called a true Jedi.
*I vow to honor the five parts of the Jedi Creed.

The Jedi Creed

The Jedi creed as used by the Jedi sanctuary is in fact Luke Skywalker's Jedi code of the new republic era in Star Wars.

The Jedi Circle

[http://www.jediacademyonline.com/jcircle.htm The Jedi Circle from jediacademy online.com] ]

The Jedi walk the circle; they live the Five Practices which enforce the Five Tenets, which nurture the Five Traits, which bring the Five Truths, which counteract the Five Misconceptions.


*The Five Practices; Meditation, Martial Application, Mediation, Awareness, and Self-Discipline.
*The Five Tenets; Peace, Knowledge, Serenity, Harmony, the Force.
*The Five Traits; Reliability, Objectivity, Humility, Patience, Wisdom.
*The Five Truths; Commitment, Self-Honesty, Learning, Sacrifice, and Guidance.
*The Five Misconceptions; Segregation, Religion, Compassion, Star Wars, Infallible.
