As Star Wars creator George Lucas explains, the Jedi are "warrior-monks who keep peace in the universe", avoiding the use of violence except as a last resort, with a mission to "use their power to keep the governments of all the planets in line, so that they don't do terrible things." The Jedi have the "moral authority to do that" since they are "the most moral of anybody in the galaxy." Throughout the franchise, Jedi are often recognizable by their robes and tunics in various shades of brown and their use of lightsabers: sword-like weapons with a blade of plasma. The Jedi are powerful guardians of order and justice in the Star Wars galaxy, who, through intuition, rigorous training, and intensive self-discipline, are able to wield a supernatural power known as the Force, thus achieving for example the ability to move objects with the mind, perform incredible feats of strength, and connect to certain people's thoughts. The fictional organization has inspired a real-world new religious movement: Jediism. Working symbiotically alongside the Old Galactic Republic and later the Rebel Alliance, the Jedi Order is depicted as a monastic, academic, martial, and meritocratic peacekeeping organization whose origin dates back thousands of years before the events of the first film released in the franchise. Jedi ( / ˈ dʒ ɛ d aɪ/), Jedi Knights, or collectively the Jedi Order are the main heroic protagonists of many works of the Star Wars franchise.
