{{Quote|For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the Dark Times...before the Empire.|[[Jedi Master]] [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]]|Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One}}

The '''Jedi Order''' was a monastic peacekeeping order centered around the use of the [[Light side of the Force|light side of]] [[the Force]] to serve as the protectors of [[the galaxy]]; the mandate of the [[Jedi]] was to serve as the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, particularly the [[Galactic Republic]].<ref name="TCO">''[[Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One]]''</ref>

The Jedi Order was founded following a [[Jedi Bendu Schism|schism]] in the [[Order of the Jedi Bendu]] circa [[15,000 BBY]], causing the Jedi Bendu to split into the Jedi Order and the [[Bendu Order]]; this event was covered up by the Republic’s government, and knowledge of the Jedi Bendu was lost and replaced with the notion that the Jedi had existed throughout the duration of the Old Republic. The Jedi came to participate in a number of galactic conflicts, particularly against the [[Sith]]. The end of the [[New Sith Wars]] saw the Jedi Order being reformed in the [[Ruusan Reformations]], as well as the belief that the Sith had been completely destroyed.<ref name="TCO" />

Around [[19 BBY]], the Jedi Order collapsed, as did the Republic, when the [[Galactic Empire]] came to power. Jedi were forced to hide throughout the galaxy; [[Jedi Master]] [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]], operating under the pseudonym Ben Kenobi, was one such Jedi.<ref name="TAA">''[[Star Wars: The Alderaan Affair]]''</ref>
