This ancient training manual, crafted by early Jedi Masters, has educated and
enlightened generations of
Jedi. It explains the history and hierarchy of the Jedi Order, and what Jedi
must know to take their place
as defenders of the peace in the galaxy-from mastery of the Force to the nuances
of lightsaber combat.
Passed down from Master to Padawan, the pages of this venerable text have been
annotated by those who
have held it, studied it, and lived its secrets. From Yoda and Luke Skywalker to
Count Dooku and Darth
Sidious, they have shaped the content of the book, adding their personal
experiences as tangible
reminders of the lessons they've learned.
Through wars and rebellion, only a single copy of this manual has survived. It
is now passed on to you.
Created in collaboration with Lucasfilm-along with an acclaimed Star Wars author
and revered Star
Wars illustrators-this volume provides new insights into the history and lore of
the Jedi Order while
introducing never-before-seen ships, creatures, characters, and details about
how one trains to become a
Jedi.
