Early History
The Jedi Order formed circa 20,000 BBY, concurrently with the Galactic Republic. At some point in their early history, several Jedi were corrupted by the Dark Side of the Force and were exiled from the order. These exiles eventually formed the Sith Empire.
The Jedi are monks, warriors, handcrafters and philosophers, who devote their lives to the Order. They live in an impressive temple on the capital world of the Republic, Coruscant. Recruited at a very young age, sometimes even as toddlers, the Jedi are devoted to a life of service. Their early life involves training in the use of The Force; this training's purpose is to allow the Jedi to understand the special link each of them has with The Force, and the talents which they consequently derive from it, talents such as telekinesis, precognition and the ability to disguise their presence effectively making themselves invisible. Their training also involves combat techniques, which ultimately entail mastering an exotic weapon, the lightsaber, the signature weapon of the Order. In this regard, the Jedi Knight resembles a Samurai warrior more than a Crusader and, like the Samurai, Jedi have a poor opinion of ranged weapons, such as pistols or rifles, considering them uncivilized resources of battle.
The Jedi are intelligent beings, not necessarily human, who have a link to The Force, which is described as an energy field created by life, which casts a power over all matter and energy in the Universe (an entity similar to the Chinese concept of Qi, the "Great Whole of Life"). This bond, and the subsequent training to strengthen it, allows the Jedi to exercise fantastic talents. The Jedi is not a superbeing in the regular sense of the term, as a superhero or a deity, but a being with a connection to a universal channel of energy. Through the use of this channel, the Jedi can perform great feats of speed, reflexes and strength. The Jedi can see into the immediate future, so they appear to have unimaginably quick reflexes. Thus, the Jedi is not a superbeing, but a Force-driven being.
One of the basics of Jedi training is to learn how to attune with the Light Side of The Force, and to avoid the Dark Side; the Jedi have been so successful in this distinction that, throughout the Star Wars Saga, Jedi frequently express total ignorance of the ways of the Dark Side. It is a motif in the Star Wars Saga that a Jedi expressing curiosity in the ways of the Dark Side is an omen of conflict. The Jedi, being living beings, are affected by negative emotions, and a substantial part of their training involves control of these emotions, and awareness of their inner evil.
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 ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.
