Often beset by foes in times of doubt and confusion, undercurrents of evil often challenged their order and the establishment they served, the most notable being the Sith. Yet, for all their power and diversity, the Jedi were few. The calm, considered demeanor of the Jedi made them ideal brokers of peace in times of conflict or dispute. As mystical wielders of the Force and of their signature lightsabers, their powers inspired all citizens in the galaxy. Originally formed as a philosophical study group situated on the planet Tython, the Jedi became revered as guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.
