Jedi

Jedi (), Jedi Knights, Jedi Masters, or collectively the Jedi Order are fictional characters, and often protagonists, featured in many works within the Star Wars franchise. Working symbiotically alongside the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order is depicted as a religious, academic, meritocratic, and military-auxiliary (peacekeeping) organization whose origin dates back thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars feature films. The fictional organization has inspired a minor real-world new religious movement and online community: Jediism.

A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout Star Wars. A typical lightsaber is shown as a luminous laser sword about in length emitted from a metal hilt around in length. Introduced in the original Star Wars film, it has since appeared in all 12 theatrical Star Wars films, with at least one lightsaber duel occurring in each installment of the "Skywalker saga". The lightsaber's distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and with digital effects for the prequel and sequel trilogies.

Jediism (or Jedism) is an online community and philosophy, or, controversially, a religion, mainly based on the belief system of the fictional Jedi characters in Star Wars media. Jediism attracted public attention in 2001 when some people recorded their religion as "Jedi" on national censuses, encouraged by an email campaign.
