The Jedi Code was rewritten by Luke Skywalker upon reestablishing the Jedi Order in the Galaxy. 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.
Even after the Code was rewritten for the New Jedi Order, many Jedi still refer to the Code as set down by Odan-Urr. The refined version of the Jedi Code is based upon the meditations of Odan-Urr and is perhaps the best known rendering. Several versions of the mantra have existed. The key portion of the Code is a five-line mantra. Although changing in style through the generations, the main tenets, context and meaning of the code have stayed the same. The Jedi Code is a rule of conduct that establishes the modes of behavior for all Jedi. While it is a rebirth of sorts for the Order, at its core it is still the Jedi Order which has persisted since the dawn of the Galactic Republic. The newest incarnation of the Jedi Order, formed several years after the Battle of Endor, is sometimes called the New Jedi Order.
They are the largest and most well known organization dedicated to the Light Side of the Force in the galaxy. The Jedi have been through many changes and ideologies since their formation, but their creed of protecting the galaxy has always remained. Their order is ancient, spanning over a thousand generations, and dedicated to being the guardians of peace and justice. It does not long survive a storm.Ī noble order of protectors unified by their belief and observance of the Force, the Jedi Order hearkens back to a more civilized, classical time in galactic history. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization an unjust civilization is built upon sand. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are.
