Geocache Description:


In the fictional Star Wars universe, the Jedi Knights are members of an ancient and noble monastic order, faintly similar to the military and religious orders that arose during the Crusades. The Jedi Knights are known for two things: their observance of a religion founded on The Force; and their selection and admittance to the order, based upon specific talents that demonstrate that a person has a special link to such Force.

The Jedi are monks, warriors, handcrafters and philosophers, who devote their lives to the Order. They live in an impressive temple on the capital world of the Republic; Coruscant. Recruited at a very young age, sometimes even as toddlers, the Jedi are devoted to a life of service. Their early life involves training in the use of The Force, this training's purpose is to allow the Jedi to understand the special link each of them has with The Force, and the talents which they consequently derive from it. Talents such as telekinesis, precognition and the ability to disguise their presence; effectively making themselves invisible. Their training also involves combat techniques, which ultimately entail mastering an exotic weapon: the lightsaber, the signature weapon of the Order. In this regard, the Jedi Knight resembles a Samurai warrior more than a Crusader and, like the Samurai, Jedi have a poor opinion of ranged weapons, such as pistols or rifles, considering them uncivilized resources of battle.

The Jedi are intelligent beings, not necessarily human, who have a link to The Force, which is described as an energy field created by life, which casts a power over all matter and energy in the Universe (an entity similar to the Chinese concept of Qi, the "Great Whole of Life"). This bond, and the subsequent training to strengthen it, allows the Jedi to exercise fantastic talents. The Jedi is not a superbeing in the regular sense of the term, as a superhero or a deity, but a being with a connection to a universal channel of energy. Through the use of this channel, the Jedi can perform great feats of speed, reflexes and strength. The Jedi can see into the immediate future, so they appear to have unimaginably quick reflexes. Thus, the Jedi is not a superbeing, but a Force-driven being.
