The Empire Statement

The most recent work of Community Wide Keystones would be known as the Empire Statement. Started and created by community member Alex Bird chapter leader of the facebook group Jedi: Empire State who then opened it up to community scrutiny and adapting as well as use.

To this day it is used by a small handful of the community, but grows by those who took it to heart. Further plans to develop this statement are in progress but for now, it earns a place in our history and lessons.

The Keeper 2018 The Jedi Way

Another Extended Document was compiled by Brandel Valico who took the many star wars resources from novels, movies, games and RPG guidebooks as well as bits of wisdom throughout the Jedi Community and placed it all inside "The Jedi Way" a 77 page long document of Jedi Teachings and wisdom.

If you spot a section…

The Keeper 2008 The Hero's Journey

While the fictional Star Wars universe had proven both fascinating and inspiring. It was the mastermind's and influences that were used in the Star Wars creation that had ultimately captured the Jediism/Realism Community most. Philosophies, Religious practices, historic figures, people and beliefs of this earth all taken, reviewed and brought into a new reality that so many were able to relate to without the ties from which they came from.

One such Mastermind that George Lucas drew from the most was a Philosopher named Joseph Campbell and his book "The Hero With a Thousand Faces" published in 1949 which look's into the archetypal hero and mythologies of our own world history.

Joseph Campbell delved into a theory that the world myth's and stories of hero's all had a similar fundamental structure regardless of time and culture. He called this the Monomyth and it became an…

The Luke Skywalker Code

Alongside The Jedi Code, there was another...an alternate version. But most know it as the 'Luke Skywalker Code' this is because, during the re-establishing of the Jedi Order he modified it slightly as it is told. But overall...that is all we know when it comes to the fiction beyond a couple references. [Pending possible addition to this section]

Much like the Jedi Behaviors it wasn't very popular either in fiction or in the Jediism/realism community. But it did have its various moments in the spotlight as a handful of community members found a greater alignment with the Luke Skywalker Code over The Jedi Code in general. The Luke Skywalker Code offered less requirement of sacrifice such as "No Emotion" and "No Passion" and instead celebrated the spirit of service to others, protection of those who could not protect themselves and training the self…
