I. THE JEDI
Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace takes us back in time, to the very beginnings of the conflict depicted in the first three Star Wars films. In The Phantom Menace, the Jedi Knights have not yet withstood the attacks that would decimate their numbers. They are still a thriving and vital part of the galaxy.
Jedi History And Training
Founded as a philosophical study group, the ancient Jedi spent centuries contemplating the mysterious energy field called the Force. After mastering it, they chose to use their skills for good, helping those in need.
For 25,000 years, the Jedi Knights served as peacemakers for the Galactic Republic. Operating out of the Judicial Department under the office of the Chancellor, the Jedi became the guardians of freedom and justice. They battled interplanetary criminals and settled cosmic disputes, becoming legendary throughout the galaxy.
Utilizing the Force, Jedi Knights can perform incredible feats of strength and speed. A Jedi's keen mind can see far-off places, project illusions, move objects, and hypnotize opponents.
Jedi are usually identified within the first six months of birth. At this early age, the infants begin their Jedi training. Because older children experience fear and anger, the Jedi believe it is unwise to train them in the ways of the Force. To enter Jedi training, one must be approved by the Jedi Council.
The Jedi Council
High above the metropolis of Galactic City on Coruscant stands the colossal pyramid known as the Jedi Temple. All matters concerning Jedi are governed by the twelve members of the Jedi Council.
Except for the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi, all members of the Council are Jedi Masters. Although Qui-Gon Jinn is a Jedi Master, he prefers active duty to a seat on the Council. To become a Jedi Master, a Jedi must have successfully trained a young apprentice, known as a Padawan. To maintain balance with the Force, the Council does not permit Jedi Masters to train more than one Padawan at a time.
Jedi Transport
Republic cruisers often serve as space transport for the Jedi. The Republic cruiser Radiant VII is an unarmed diplomatic vessel and is painted red to signal its diplomatic immunity. The planet Coruscant used the Radiant VII to send Jedi and ambassadors on many missions of peace throughout the galaxy. When the planet Naboo was blockaded by the Trade Federation, Supreme Chancellor Valorum dispatched the Radiant VII to the scene, hoping to avert a war....

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative ....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace Movie Scrapbook (Paperback)
Though this is a book for young children, at the age of 30, I found, after seeing the movie, it helped me to understand the characters, planets, weaponry, and so much more. Do you know what determines the color of a light saber? Or how a Jedi is determined and at what age they start training? That and so many other answers are given in this book, it's packed full of great photo's and even gives a little lesson on the people who brought the film to being. Highly recommended!

Very good book. Detailed and LOTS of pictures.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace Movie Scrapbook (Paperback)
I first read this about two weeks ago(well, it's not exactly the type you read cover to cover, you know) and I'm still looking over it. This is the type of book any Episode 1 freak (like me) would die for.This shows pretty much everything, from a 10-page overview of the Jedi (weapons, council, etc.), to the Creatures of the Core. It shows the inside of a lightsaber, and all you need to know about the beautiful queen Amidala (Natalie Portman's a goddess). If you're looking for a book about Episode 1 that you can look at for months, this is definitely the book for you.
