Editing Jedi (section)

===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>
