recently we did a video detailing the failings and shortcomings of the jedi order around the time of the clone wars and how that impacted their stay in the galaxy at large since we were pretty harsh to them in that video i thought we turned the clock back to a time when they weren't all politics when viewing a timeline of star wars it would seem as though the jedi had been around forever always watching and protecting the galaxy but like everything else they too had their beginnings in their dawn so grab a snack and stick with us today as we'll tell you the story of the ancient jedi order our story begins a very long time ago in the year 36453 bby the tho your eight great pyramid ships that were scattered across the galaxy began to call out to inhabitants of planets that they were located on including ando prime kashyyyk manan ryloth and dathomir through the fourth the thoriur convinced the force sensitive sentients around them to board their starships and the pyramid ships then departed the planets upon which they had sat for so long and set out into the deep galaxy the thaw your ships then traversed the galaxy gathering force sensitives of many cultures and species so that by the time that the eight ships joined injured into the deep core together the eighth though you're travelled into the deep core to the planet known as tython with all manner of force sensitives aboard their ships all trusting the mysterious pyramids shaped starcrafts upon arriving to the planet of tithing there was a ninth far larger though you're that awaited them as it floated above a pinnacle of stone the arrival of the thou yoar was heralded by an immense force storm that swept over the entire planet and the eight ships gathered around the ninth largest before scattering across the planet in an event that would become known as the first migration in fact the first dating system before bby was tya which meant though your arrival this event saw each ship deposit their passengers at the final destination and remained there with some of these ships burying themselves in the landscape while others remained floating in the sky the force sensitive pilgrims immediately realized that tython was uniquely strong in the force and the pilgrims known collectively as the tythons soon realized that they had been brought to tython in order to study the force and learn to control and master the abilities it granted them however tython's beauty came with dangers and the pilgrims lives became a constant form of moving meditation on the force truly learning from it and living through it rather than sitting in silent meditation the pilgrims also realized that tython itself reflected violence with four storms and quakes to imbalance between the light and the dark side of the force in the staunch binary between the two the tythons named each of these respective sides ashla and bogan after tython's two moons the bright satellite celestial being ashla and the dark moon of bogan the pilgrims therefore form the jedi order and took their name of language of the dai bendu monks and the talid species combining the words jed meaning mystic and dai meaning center the philosophy of balance became essential to survival on tithing as harmony and balance between ashla and bogan maintained the peaceful beauty of tython and prevented the chaos and destruction that came with imbalance over the next thousand years the jedi built the jedi temples cities and centers of learning and healing that each centered around one of the tho yore early in the jedi order's history the order established their nine jedi temples around the ninth toyor across the planet with each ship holding great significance and a place of holy worship while other cities and settlements were later built on the planet the nine temples were home to most of the planet's inhabitants and were the seats of the order's presence upon tython akhar kesh the temple of balance was considered to be the most sacred of all and it was built within the great pinnacle of stone above which the largest tho your hovered the temple of science anil kesh straddled the planetary rift known as the chasm near its floating though yore in its inhabitants meddled in science and alchemy the temple of healing maharakesh was located in the deep ocean and the temple of the arts bodhi was located on the plains of the continent of masara back in this day the jedi practiced the force freely experiencing both sides in perfect harmony there was very little restriction placed on the exploration of the dark side or at the time known as bogan so long as students explored it in moderation in jedi philosophy they acknowledged the fact there was always light within darkness and darkness within light therefore meaning that it was impossible for one to ever be truly free of the other unlike the later jedi order the jedi were encouraged to give in to the temptations of both the light as well as the dark as they believed it was necessary to embrace both in order to learn more about the force the jedi viewed living on tithing as a near constant meditation state and study of the force and the great journey was intended to oppose young journeyers to the various disciplines and arts that were studied at each temple even their code at the time reflected this there is no ignorance there is knowledge there is no fear there is power i am the heart of the force i am the revealing fire of light i am the mystery of darkness in balance with chaos as well as harmony immortal in the force since they believed that all aspects of the force were a part of one living force they actually did indulge in alchemy long before this practice was purely corrupted by the dark side into sith alchemy the jedi had students that would specialize in alchemy and from this came their signature weapons of the era before the lightsabers they had regular durasteel swords but of course these swords were anything but normal using alchemy they forged these steel swords to be imbued with the force itself once the blade had been forged an initiate would place a crystal into the hilt of the blade and then would marry the latestes of the crystal and the blade together this was accomplished by submerging oneself deep into a trance granted by the force and then meditating on the blade and crystal until blade crystal and smith became his one once the latest were married the wielder would channel energy through the crystal and into the blade until it began to glow with a nimbus of energy signifying that the blade had been permanently infused with the force it is unclear whether the crystal they used in this way were kyber crystals that we know and are familiar with now in star wars lore but suffice it to say if it could channel the force it was most likely a kyber crystal now though what did the jedi order actually do with all of this information that they managed to garner much like the modern jedi they did travel off world to help systems in need the predecessors of the jedi knight was the jedi ranger rangers were deployed by the jedi council and across titan's system fulfilling assignments and missions requested by the council or the other settled worlds rangers wore a badge known as the ranger star to signify their rank and they were given their choice of starship either a hunter-class starfighter or the larger peacemaker-class cruiser rangers were tasked with the missions of diplomacy tracking fugitives ending conflicts in a wide variety of other missions and some rangers rarely returned to tython if a jedi ranger had shown sufficient experience wisdom and understanding of the force they might be promoted to the rank of jedi master which was the highest rank a jedi could achieve other than a temple master despite the services the order provided to other nearby settled worlds the existence of the jedi in their isolation world of titan became a thing of legend it wasn't until the reign of queen idea of chicago that a full-blown conflict erupted between the order and non-force sensitives that shared the star system in a system-wide conflict known as the despot war queen haidia led her army against tython in a series of campaigns in 25805 bb watt despite massive casualties on both sides the jedi order was able to vanquish idea in her forces and return the balance to the world of tython while balance was indeed restored turmoil festered on titan just 12 years later when the jedi order found the wreckage of the first ship to enter the system since the tho your brought their ancestors to the world the ship of unknown origin crashed on tithin in the area known as the rift close to the temple of a nil crash and the mass deaths sparked a four storm of proportions not seen since the arrival of the tho yore representatives of the order investigated the crash and encountered the sole survivor a mysterious man named cash who carried a bizarre weapon known as a forcesaber the forcesaber was a rakatan invention in which powerful darkside energy was channeled through laboratory grown crystals in glowing energy blades able to be ignited as if it was a regular lightsaber however because of its ties to the dark side any jedi were at risk of succumbing with each and every use of the forcesaber even though a lot of them were highly intrigued by its existence and the existence of a dark side wielder from off-world this though would not be the last of them during the rakatan invasion of the tython system the jedi order showed signs of a great divide between those who wish to use the force saber and those who wish to not to the forcesaber could be considered the catalyst of the great divide between the light and the dark side of the force a divide that would eventually result in the creation of the jedi as well as the sith eventually history would play out as we know it today with the jedi rebranding themselves as the jedi opting to root themselves entirely in the light and going to war with the dark jedi during the great schisms therefore the great and powerful jedi order and the origin of the jedi as well as the sith coming to an official end so friends what do you think of the ancient order do you believe they had it figured out what do you think the galaxy would be like if the jedi had stayed in these ways rather than deviating into the dogma and tradition that we know today of strict binary of light and dark tell us your thoughts and as always may ashley and bogan be with you and have a great day you
