Jedcred: Slang for Jedi Credit. It was struck to commemorate a Corellian Jedi becoming a Master. It was minted with the Jedi's likeness and given to friends, family members, and students. Because of the Imperial persecution of the Jedi, those coins became very rare. Now they can be passed down in families. For example: Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn wears his around his neck as a good luck charm. It was passed down to him from his grandfather.

Jedi Battle Meditation: A powerful Jedi technique, and it is used to influence the outcome of a battle. It is done by visualizing the desired result. Ancient skilled users of the technique included Jedi Master Arca Jeth and Jedi Nomi Sunrider.

The Jedi Code: There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force. A Jedi does not act for personal power or wealth but seeks knowledge and enlightenment. A true Jedi never acts from hatred, anger, fear, or agression but acts when calm and at peace with the Force.

Jedi Holocron: A respository of Jedi knowledge and teaching, these legendary artifacts are palm sized glowing cubes of crystal the employ primitive holgramic technology along with the force to provide an interactive learning device. Mysterious designs are etched into the Jedi Holocrons, hinting at their true age. A Holocron can usually be activated only by a Jedi, who can then seem to have a conversation with the long dead Jedi who teachings infuse the particular Holocron.

Jedi Knights: Protectso of the Old Republic from the time it arose some 25,000 years before the galactic Civil War, they were guardians of justice and freedom, the most respected and powerful force for good for more than a thousand generations. The Jedi seemed to have supernatural skills, especially when wielding their lightsaber weapons. But a Jedi's real strength and power has always come from an ability to tap into and manipulate the Force.
However, within the Force itself lie the seeds of self destruction: the dark side, an unrelenting evil that grants power but is hollow an corrupt at its core. First the Republic itself fell to the corruption of its leaders, and the Empire was born. Then, before the Jedi coul move against him, Emporor Palpatine used one of their own to destroy the Jedi. Through treachery, deception, and the actions of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, the Jedi were largely exterminated.
One of them, a Jedi Master named Yoda, trained young Luke Skywalker as the first of the new line of Jedi Knights. Following the battle of Endor, Luke started searching the galaxy for other Jedi and started an academy to train those strong in the Force.

Jedi Master: An honorific given to the greatest of the Jedi, those who are strong enough in the Force and patient enough in life - and even beyond - to pass on their skills by teaching a new generation of Jedi. In the darkest days of the Empire, nearly all the Jedi Masters were hunted down and wiped out. But on the backwater planet of Dagobah, a 900 year old Jedi Master named Yoda managed to survive to train the first of a new generation of Jedi, Luke Skywalker.

Jedi Reader: A device used by minions of the Emporor in hunting down Jedi, it exposed Force sensitive individuals. Silvery paddles were run down suspects bodies, and if the individuals were force sensitive, a wire frame silhouette of their bodies with a flickering blue outline would appear on the crystal readers attached to the paddles.
