With the 2012 acquisition of [[Lucasfilm]] by [[The Walt Disney Company]], most of the licensed ''Star Wars'' novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film [[Star Wars (film)|''Star Wars'']] were rebranded as ''Star Wars Legends'' and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.<ref name="THR Legends">{{cite news |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lucasfilm-unveils-new-plans-star-698973 |last=McMilian |first=Graeme |title=Lucasfilm Unveils New Plans for ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=25 April 2014 |access-date=26 May 2016 |archive-date=30 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160830203115/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lucasfilm-unveils-new-plans-star-698973 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="SW Legends">{{cite web |url=https://www.starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page |title=The Legendary ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe Turns a New Page |publisher=[[StarWars.com]] |date=25 April 2014 |access-date=26 May 2016 |archive-date=10 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910044317/http://www.starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="SW Adult">{{cite web |url=https://www.starwars.com/news/disney-publishing-worldwide-and-random-house-announce-relaunch-of-star-wars-adult-fiction-line |title=Disney and Random House announce relaunch of ''Star Wars'' Adult Fiction line |publisher=StarWars.com |date=25 April 2014 |access-date=26 May 2016 |archive-date=14 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160514073722/http://www.starwars.com/news/disney-publishing-worldwide-and-random-house-announce-relaunch-of-star-wars-adult-fiction-line |url-status=live }}</ref>

In novels and reference books now considered ''Legends'', the interpretation of the Jedi teaching on not forming attachments was alternating<ref>{{Cite book|first=Jude|last=Watson|title=The Last of the Jedi: Secret Weapon|publisher=Scholastic|year=2007|isbn=9780439681407|location=US}}</ref> between being in line with George Lucas' vision and using "attachment" in the sense of affection, fondness and loving commitment, stating that the Jedi Code prohibited these emotional bonds.<ref>{{Cite book|first=Karen|last=Traviss|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/1028229615|title=No prisoners|date=31 October 2012|publisher=Random House|isbn=978-1-4481-6452-3|oclc=1028229615|access-date=21 June 2021|archive-date=3 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240803084412/https://search.worldcat.org/title/1028229615|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|author=Wallace, Daniel|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/1107051506|title=The Jedi path : a manual for students of the force|date=7 September 2011|publisher=Chronicle Books|isbn=978-1-4521-0227-6|oclc=1107051506|access-date=21 June 2021|archive-date=3 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240803084448/https://search.worldcat.org/title/1107051506|url-status=live}}</ref> Furthermore, the Jedi were depicted as a [[Quasi-militarization|quasi-militaristic]] organization with strict political alignment to the Galactic Republic.

===Je'daii===
{{Further|Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi}}
Precursors to modern Jedi, the Je'daii Order studied both light and dark sides of the mysterious Force, striving to balance them equally. The preview ''Dawn of the Jedi'' issue dates the Je'daii origins to 36,453 years [[Yavin|BBY]]. Before lightsabers and hyperspace travel, the Je'daii journeyed across the planet Tython, training at the Order's nine temples and mastering the lessons of each.

===The New Jedi Order===
{{Further|The New Jedi Order}}
In novels set after the events of the film series, Luke Skywalker re-established the Jedi High Council as part of his [[The New Jedi Order|New Jedi Order]]. The most notable difference between the format of the new council and the old is that only half of the council are made up of Jedi, while the other half consisted of politicians. Following the war with the [[Yuuzhan Vong]], the Jedi withdrew their support from anyone political entity and relocated to Ossus, where Luke had a full Jedi Council re-established.

The New Jedi Order was the restored and reformed Jedi organization, in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge and the subsequent fall of the Galactic Empire. The Jedi Knights, reduced in number to only a handful, were slowly restored, primarily under the leadership of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker. Skywalker abolished the traditional Master/Padawan system. He believed all Jedi should be both teachers and students; that they should both learn from and mentor each other, and not just from one Master.

Within the Expanded Universe, ''The New Jedi Order'' indicates that the Jedi Temple on Coruscant is no longer standing but it is rebuilt as a gift to Jedi for their services and achievements during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The new temple is in the form of a massive pyramid made from stone and transparisteel that is designed to fit into the new look of Coruscant, though internally it is identical to the design seen in ''Revenge of the Sith''.
