Jedi

Jedi are a race of small, biped humanoids, green-skinned with pointy ears and three-toed feet. They are much smaller than humans but can live to be 900 to 1000 years old. Their traditional homeworld is Dagobah, a moon of a gas giant planet 6000 light years from Coruscant. The Jedi have established colonies on other worlds and planets, and have attempted to convert others to their religion. Their faith also teaches about the evil spirits called the Demons of the Dark Side.

Some Jedi are capable of performing supernatural feats, which are assumed to be provided by the Living Force.

Racial and religious leadership of the Jedi is assumed by the Jedi Council, which resides on Dagobah and assumed political and governmental control of the Jedi homeworld. Membership on the Council is appointed by a Council majority.

Jedi living within the Imperial Republic are considered full citizens, and many humans have converted to the worship of the Living Force.

A symbolic weapon favored by many Jedi is the light saber.
