===The Jedi Code===
The Jedi Code was a set of rules that governed the behavior of the Jedi Order. It taught its followers to not give in to feelings of anger toward other lifeforms, which would help them resist fear and prevent them from falling to the dark side of the Force.<br>
{{Blockquote|'''The Code:'''<br>
There is no emotion, there is peace.<br>There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.<br>There is no passion, there is serenity.<br>There is no chaos, there is harmony.<br>There is no death, there is the Force.

===The Four Councils===
The Four Branches of the Jedi Council are fictional institutions from the ''Star Wars'' universe. They serve the Jedi Order as an organized administrative body that provides the necessary auxiliary and support services that sustain and governed the Order's academies, temples, interests and organizations.

====Jedi High Council====
The Jedi High Council is the main ecclesiastical leadership of the Jedi Order with both legislative and executive powers. The Jedi High Council is made up of some of the strongest, wisest and most experienced members of the Jedi Order. They are elected to lead the Jedi. The Jedi High Council has twelve members at any given time: five members who serve for life, four members who serve long-term, and three limited-term members. [[Sifo-Dyas]] had a seat on the council until his extremist views on a war that he foresaw caused his removal. Other older members include Jor Aerith, Tera Sinuba, and Yula Braylon.

In ''Jedi: Fallen Order - Dark Temple'' (which is set an unknown amount of time before ''[[Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace]]''), the Jedi Council includes Yoda, Mace Windu, Eeth Koth, Yarael Poof, Poli Dapatian, and Jocasta Nu. In ''Master & Apprentice'', set seven years before ''The Phantom Menace'', the council includes Yoda, Mace Windu, Depa Billaba, Poli Dapatian (who is in the process of retiring), Eeth Koth, and Saesee Tiin.

In the final days before the end of the [[Clone Wars (Star Wars)|Clone Wars]] and the extermination of the Jedi Order, the Council consisted of the following members:{{div col}}
*[[Yoda]]
*[[Mace Windu]]
*[[Plo Koon]]
*[[Stass Allie]]
*[[Shaak Ti]]
*[[Kit Fisto]]
*[[Saesee Tiin]]
*Coleman Kcaj
*[[Anakin Skywalker]]
*[[Agen Kolar]]
*[[Obi-Wan Kenobi]]
*[[Ki-Adi-Mundi]]
{{div col end}}

====Council of First Knowledge====
The Council of First Knowledge administered the Temple-based academy and its curriculum and funded scholars' scientific research. To this end, the Council guarded and maintained the Temple Archives and its Holocron vaults, as well as the "Shadow program" at the Jedi Temple: [[Jedi Sentinel]]s tasked with hunting down Sith artifacts.{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}

====Council of Reconciliation====
The Council of Reconciliation dealt with the [[Galactic Senate]] and the Republic Diplomatic Corps in order to help bring diplomatic resolutions to conflicts and end political standoffs. The "first face" of the Republic presented to worlds interested in joining the Republic, this council would dispatch Jedi diplomats and ambassadors to moderate debate and hammer out treaties{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}

====Council of Reassignment====
The Council of Reassignment administered the Jedi Service Corps and each of its branch councils. Organizing work for those Initiates who failed out of the academy and Knights with special talents, the Reassignment Council oversaw this branch's missions and assignments.{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}

===Ranks of authority and educational progress===
Every Jedi, regardless of species or homeworld, is trained for their career at Jedi Academy. Entrance is determined by rigorous examination and psychological tests. When Jedi Sentinels, known as "Seekers", discover or test a suitable "force-sensitive" candidate, they are taken to the Jedi Academy at the age of 5 (for humans; varies depending on the species and arbitrary calendar years) with the parent's permission. Jedi scholarship educations are considered prestigious, as most parents are portrayed as either happy or proud of the opportunity presented to their child, who could never afford an education. However, most parents also are generally sad since they know they are unlikely to see their child again before adulthood.

Jedi members could technically leave the Order whenever they want, but most of these children were essentially orphaned. Because they were removed from their family at such a young age, they were detached, being indoctrinated into the Jedi way of life through a structured system. The Jedi Archives holds records of every known force sensitive child; Yoda destroyed these records during the Jedi Purge, before Darth Vader assaulted the Jedi Temple, to protect these children from being exploited by the Sith.

Members of the Order progress through four [[educational stage]]s, at times referred to as levels:

====Initiate====
Initiation is the first part of Jedi training; they are mentored by Jedi Masters in rudimentary control over the Force and basic self-defense techniques.

Most Initiates were typically Younglings (a child Jedi-in-training), receiving an early and first-class education. The first ten years of a youngling's training demands segregation from outside distractions and is deliberately designed to reinforce detachment from earthly emotions, including loyalty or love for their parents. Initiates are taught to abandon ego, and that discipline, selflessness and truthfulness will lead to harmony with The Force. This is why Yoda initially denied both Anakin and Luke Skywalker for being "too old for training".

{{Blockquote|text=Abandon ego. Release all your earthly attachments; let go of all you've grown to love... Surrender yourself.|title=''[[Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones|Attack of the Clones]]''|character=[[Yoda]]}}

Younglings were portrayed training under Jedi Master Yoda in a scene on ''Attack of the Clones'' and hiding during the assault on the Jedi Temple in ''Revenge of the Sith'' before being murdered off-screen by Anakin Skywalker (as the then-newly christened Darth Vader).

The "Young Jedi" story arc<ref>Season 5, ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars''</ref> and the episode "Path of the Jedi"<ref>Season 2, ''Star Wars: Rebels''</ref> explored the Jedi tradition called "The Gathering," where initiates traveled to the "Crystal Caves" of Ilum to harvest [[kyber crystal]]s, which they would use to build their first lightsabers. Crystals were attuned to individual Jedi and lacked color. The Force spoke to each of the younglings through their crystals. To find their crystal, each initiate had to learn a lesson: courage, hope, patience, trust, confidence, and selflessness.

====Padawan{{anchor|Padawan}}====
An Initiate who successfully completes "fundamental training" is given a second-class education and then undergoes Padawan training under the tutelage of a Mentor (usually a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master). They are also called "Apprentices" and "Padawan learners". In the Old Republic, Padawans usually wore a hair braid or a bead string (for species without hair) on the right side of their head which was severed with a lightsaber by the Jedi Grand Master upon attaining knighthood. They also served as Commanders in the Clone Wars.

====Knight{{anchor|Knight}}====
Disciplined and experienced, Jedi Knights become so only when they have completed "the trials" (final tests), they officially graduate, being eligible for specialized advance courses, and may continue to pursue a third-class education (see below) to obtain the equivalent of a [[habilitation]] or [[post-doctoral degree]]. As the most common and numerous rank, Knights are youthful [[journeyman]] eager to travel the galaxy, obtain new experiences and serve the Republic; thus Knights are frequently "the face" of the Order, with all Jedi erroneously referred to by the general public as Knights, and the rank is interchangeably referred to as "Jedi", "Jedi Knight" and "Master Jedi" (although the latter are honorifics used only by Younglings and Padawans when addressing Jedi Knights or above). 

The five tests are usually known as ''Trial of Skill'', the ''Trial of Courage'', the ''Trial of the Flesh'', the ''Trial of Spirit'', and the ''Trial of Insight (or Knowledge)''. In ''Return of the Jedi'', Master Yoda gives his apprentice, Luke Skywalker, the trial of confronting Darth Vader for a second time so he might become a full-fledged Knight. Occasionally, performing an extraordinary (usually heroic) act can earn a Padawan learner Jedi status, such as when Obi-Wan Kenobi defeats the Sith Lord, [[Darth Maul]]. By the time of the [[Skywalker Saga]] films, distinct "battle classes" were not necessary as the Republic had not seen war in over a thousand years, and the title of Knight was simply a rank once again.

====Master====
The title of Jedi Master is bestowed upon the most powerful members of the Jedi Order. Masters are regarded as among the most accomplished and recognized [[polymath]]s in the ''Star Wars'' galaxy; generally, they have resigned from wanderlust ways of knighthood and instead apply their acquired years of wisdom and experience to meditative, administrative and educational pursuits. Upon completion of [[Vocational education|vocational]] or [[postgraduate education]], a Jedi Knight becomes a Jedi Master after successfully training several Padawan learners to Knight status, such as when [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] became a Jedi Master after he successfully trained [[Anakin Skywalker]] to the point where he was able to complete the trials and become a Jedi Knight. Though this is the most common manner, there are other ways of attaining the rank. Some Jedi masters include Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Yoda.

===Specializations and occupations===
Various careers, occupations, ranks and titles were available to all Jedi. Upon a Padawan's ascension to "''Knighthood''-status", a Jedi pursued higher education or [[vocational education|vocational education and training]] in a field of expertise; choose a career based on preference, personal talents and skills. Before the [[#Great Jedi Purge|Great Jedi Purge]], numerous divisions existed across the whole of the order, but most personnel are represented within the three order divisions: the '''''Order of the Guardian''''', the '''''Order of the Consular''''', or '''''Order of the Sentinel'''''.  In addition to their specialization, in times of war, the High Council could demand that the members of the Order assume military ranks in order to defend the Republic.

====Hierarchy====
* Grand Master of the Jedi Order: The Grand Master is the oldest, the most experienced, the most accomplished and the best trained of all Jedi. A Grand Master is voted unanimously by the Jedi High Council. The Grand Master serves as the organization's figurehead in charge of ceremonial duties and dictates the organization's general policies while providing direction and guidance to the entire Jedi Order. [[Yoda]] and [[Luke Skywalker]] were Jedi Grandmasters.
* Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives: The overseer of the ''Jedi Archives'', ''Holocron Vault'', ''Librarian's Assembly'' and the ''Educational Corps''. Second only to the Grand Master in administrative importance, the Chief Librarian worked closely with the ''Council of First Knowledge''. Around the time of the Clone Wars, the Chief Librarian was the elderly Jedi Master [[Jocasta Nu]].
* Chief Master of the Jedi High Council (or 'Master of the Order'): The Chief Master of the High Council is elected by the Jedi High Council,{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=157}} which effectively acts as chairman, [[Chief of staff]] and [[chief operating officer]]. Its chief responsibilities include; presiding over High Council meetings of the assembled group, conducting Jedi businesses in an orderly fashion, managing the executive particulars of the day-to-day administration of the Jedi Order, acting as representative or spokesperson to the [[Galactic Senate]], and serving as the Grand Master's junior partner. Jedi Master Mace Windu filled this position at the time of the Clone Wars.
* Jedi General: A title given to those given commanding roles in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
* Jedi Commander: This title was given to Jedi Padawans under the leadership of Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters with their roles as Jedi Generals in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

====Divisions====
* Jedi Guardian: Jedi Guardians are the vigilant warrior-class, being the original, most common and numerous among the Jedi, easily identified by their blue lightsabers; they focused all aspects of combat and military prowess as an extension of their being, and trained on combining and perfecting their athletic, aviation and martial art skills with mastery of the Force. The Force skills studied by the Guardians were typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. Many were stationed within Republic planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they worked as special peacekeepers and law enforcement agents, helping to quell riots and capture terrorists. The highest-ranking Jedi Guardians were stationed at the Jedi academies as instructors tasked with passing down their experience to the young students of the Order. Those Jedi who mastered lightsaber-combat techniques (such as Mace Windu) were dubbed Weapon Masters and were among the greatest warriors of the Order.
* Jedi Consular: Jedi Consulars are the contemplative scholar-class, being easily identified by their green lightsabers; they were deep thinkers and philosophers devoted to the mental aspects of the force, studied the greater inner workings of the force behind the scenes, focused on further mastery of the Force, the sharpening of mental faculties, and wielded a lightsaber only for self-defense. Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Jedi Consulars were often called upon to act as impartial advisers, diplomats, and arbiters. Most Consulars specialized as historians, archivists, librarians, archaeologists, geologists, biologists, mathematicians, and astronomers; they contributed to the growth and preservation of the [[Jedi Archives]] as "Lore Keepers" directed by the ''Librarian's Assembly''. Some Consulars worked closely with the Republic bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the Republic and given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Senate and Jedi Order. Some Consulars joined the Circle of Jedi Healers (headquartered out of the Coruscant Temple's ''Halls of Healing'') and focused on the medical and humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of healing. Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force were known as "Seers", maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons; the most perceptive of these Jedi (such as Yoda) were known as Prophets and foretold the future of the galaxy.
* Jedi Sentinel: Jedi Sentinels are the pragmatic tech-class, being easily identified by their yellow lightsabers; they blended multiple schools of teaching, amplified them with a series of non-force skills, and focused on diverse inter-disciplinary talents that were not often associated with the Jedi. Sentinels applied their Force abilities as engineers, technicians, intelligence and security experts. Interestingly they stayed away from the Jedi Temple preferring to conduct their affairs within communities throughout the galaxy. Most Sentinels tended to take a middle road approach to problems, being stationed at numerous locations for decades, to serve as liaison officers between the system or sector and the Republic. The most loyal Sentinel join the anonymous "Jedi Temple Guard" charged with guarding the Jedi Temple; such dedication demanded no emotional relationship or identity. Some Sentinels aided [[law enforcement agency|police]] as detectives through the use of [[the Force]]. Since Republic law required all newborns to undergo "Force-sensitivity" testing, Sentinels who worked as members of the ''Acquisition Division of the Order'' routinely tracked down and identified Force-sensitive children to assess whether they met the qualifications to receive training in the Jedi Order. The most elite Sentinels became "Shadows" or "Watchmen": the Jedi-[[secret police]] who worked under the supervision of the ''First Knowledge Council'' to destroy all remnants of the Sith.

===Resources and technology===
In the ''Star Wars'' universe, the Jedi are usually portrayed wearing simple robes and carrying specialized field gear for their missions. Their philosophical lifestyles mirror those of real-world [[religious vows]] and [[evangelical counsels]], as their personal possessions are provided exclusively by the Jedi Order, and are only meant to allow [[self-sufficiency]].

====Weapons====
{{Main|Lightsaber|Weapons in Star Wars}}
The most notable instrument wielded by a Jedi is the lightsaber. Both Jedi and Sith use lightsabers, though the former regard them as a tool, the latter, a weapon. The Jedi's lightsabers emit [[cool colors]], usually blue or green blades (sometimes yellow, or purple, as seen in the case of Mace Windu), while the Sith emit [[warm color]]s (red). Lightsabers can be of many different colors depending on the crystal fixture and reflective of the wielders' psychological profile. Most Jedi use naturally formed crystals, frequently ranging between blue, green and yellow; whereas Sith tend to use corrupted or synthetic crystals, which are usually red in color.
Although rare, spear-like, whip-like and multi-bladed lightsabers can exist, especially among Sith such as [[Darth Maul]]'s double-bladed lightsaber, the Inqusitors' double-bladed/rotating ones, or [[Kylo Ren]]'s crossguard-bladed one (due to a cracked kyber crystal).

====Vehicles====
{{Main|Jedi starfighter}}

Eta-2 Actis Jedi interceptors first appeared in ''Revenge of the Sith''. Delta-7B Aethersprite Jedi starfighters appear in ''Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones'' and ''Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith''. In ''Attack of the Clones'', Obi-Wan Kenobi travels via Jedi starfighter to [[Kamino (Star Wars)|Kamino]] to investigate the attempted assassination of [[Padmé Amidala]]; he also flies a Jedi starfighter to Geonosis in an attempt to track down the [[bounty hunter]] [[Jango Fett]].<ref name="jstm">{{cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/delta7/|title=Jedi starfighter (The Movies)|work=Star Wars Databank|publisher=[[Lucasfilm]]|access-date=2007-12-25|archive-date=26 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726170651/http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/delta7|url-status=live}}</ref> Lacking a hyperdrive, the starfighter relies on an external sled to propel it through hyperspace.<ref name="jstm" /> Kenobi and [[Anakin Skywalker]] ([[Hayden Christensen]]) fly updated Jedi starfighters (called Jedi interceptors) in the opening sequence of ''Revenge of the Sith''.<ref name="jstm" /> Later, [[Plo Koon]] ([[Matt Sloan (visual effects)|Matt Sloan]]) flies a ''Revenge of the Sith''-era starfighter when he is shot down by clone troopers carrying out Darth Sidious' ([[Ian McDiarmid]]) Order 66.<ref name="jstm" />

====Jedi Archives====
The Jedi Archives, known as The Great Library of Ossus or The Great Library of the Jedi, contained the galaxy's most priceless and ancient of texts sacred to Jedi scholars and archaeologists. Among these were Sith artifacts, considered by the Jedi Order to be the most dangerous artifacts in the galaxy, that were accessible only to those able to control the Dark Side of the Force.<ref>''Ultimate Star Wars''</ref>

The Jedi archives of the Jedi Temple in the movie ''Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones'' bear a startling resemblance to the Long Room of the [[Trinity College Library]] in Dublin. This resemblance resulted in controversy as permission had not been sought to use the building's likeness in the film. However, [[Lucasfilm]] denied that the Long Room was the basis for the Jedi archives, and officials from Trinity College Library decided not to take any legal action.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/kerry-invaded-by-evil-galactic-empire-in-class-star-wars-mockup-637602.html|title=Kerry invaded by evil galactic empire in class Star Wars mockup|work=Breaking News|date=28 July 2014|access-date=28 October 2015|archive-date=6 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206170247/http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/kerry-invaded-by-evil-galactic-empire-in-class-star-wars-mockup-637602.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://scyfilove.com/1948/visit-the-jedi-archives-in-real-life-at-trinity-college-dublin/|title=Visit the Jedi Archives in real life – at Trinity College, Dublin|website=scyfilove.com|access-date=28 October 2015|archive-date=6 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206175241/http://scyfilove.com/1948/visit-the-jedi-archives-in-real-life-at-trinity-college-dublin/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

====Jedi Academy====
{{Redirect|Jedi Academy|other uses|Jedi Academy (disambiguation)}}
The Jedi academies were established to train [[Force-sensitive]] beings accepted into the Jedi Order in the ways of the Force. Overseen by the Council of First Knowledge, each academy was governed by an advisory Council appointed by their superiors on Coruscant. Mainstreaming the majority of teachings at the Temple, certain practices were permitted to vary from world to world. However, at all sanctioned academies, a group of Jedi Masters would instruct Initiates to the Order in the ways of the Force. The size of the school varied from world to world; the smallest consisted of a single clan of younglings, and the largest was the main academy housed within the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. Most academies had been established during the Old Sith Wars and were located in the Galactic Rim. Some were located on or near Force-wellsprings or places significant to the Order like crystal caves or nexuses of [[Dark side of the force|dark side energies]] that needed constant monitoring.{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}

In addition to the traditional academies established by the Order, the Exploration Corps maintained several spacefaring mobile academies such as the ''[[Chu'unthor]]'' so that roaming the galaxy and exploring new worlds could be achieved while still teaching traditional doctrine.{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}

By the fall of the [[Galactic Republic]] in 19 BBY, many of the ancient academies had been shut down for decades, with the Council of First Knowledge preferring the central teachings of the Coruscant Temple. After the dissolution of the Order during the Great Jedi Purge, all orthodox Temples and academies were routed and burned in order to prevent any more Jedi from learning the secrets of the Force. However, the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]]'s chokehold on Force-education did not last and the Order was [[New Jedi Order|reformed]] following the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War. After [[Grand Master (Jedi)|Grand Master]] [[Luke Skywalker]]'s New Order became a single class of twelve students including his nephew Ben Solo, it was reduced to only himself when his nephew turned to the dark side and became Kylo Ren.

====Jedi Temple====
In the prequel trilogy, the primary Jedi Temple is located on the Republic's capital planet of Coruscant. As the chief administrative headquarters, the Temple served the Order in three capacities: a monastery and library for the Jedi seeking enlightenment and to reflect on the will of the Force; an academy and training center for Jedi younglings and Padawans who endeavored to join the ranks of the Jedi Knights; and government, in which the Masters of the Jedi High Council guided the Order's direction. It was originally built atop an old "dark-side nexus" shrine during the birth of the Republic, so as to be symbolic to the Coruscant people that the tyrannical rule of the Sith was over.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/news/hidden-knowledge-5-fascinating-facts-about-the-jedi-temple|title=5 Fascinating Facts About the Jedi Temple|website=StarWars.com|date=6 November 2015|access-date=26 February 2021|archive-date=15 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415005113/https://www.starwars.com/news/hidden-knowledge-5-fascinating-facts-about-the-jedi-temple|url-status=live}}</ref>

In ''Revenge of the Sith'', the Jedi Temple is attacked by clone troopers of the [[501st Legion (Star Wars)|501st Legion]], led by the newly christened Darth Vader, who butchered the Jedi within and set the Temple alight. After the fall of the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic, the Temple became the '''Palace of the Emperor''' and a location for his dark side artifacts. It would serve as Sidious' residence for over two decades until his death at the battle of Endor. The Temple is visible in the celebrations on Coruscant at the end of ''Return of the Jedi''. After the destruction of the Sith, Luke Skywalker—the last of the Jedi—recovered fragments of a Force-sensitive tree that was once located at the heart of the Jedi Temple.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/2017/04/cantina-talk-32/|title=Cantina Talk: A Vicious New Kind of AT-AT Could Debut in 'The Last Jedi'|last=McMillan|first=Graeme|date=2017-04-03|magazine=Wired|access-date=2019-12-21|issn=1059-1028|archive-date=3 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200903180712/https://www.wired.com/2017/04/cantina-talk-32/|url-status=live}}</ref>
