Jedi Code

The Jedi Code, known apocryphally as the Jedi's Meditation, was a set of rules and tenets in the Jedi Order, a religious order that devoted to the ways of the Force. The Code evolved over the course of centuries and applied to all members of the Order, from Jedi Initiates and Padawans, to Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters. Among the precepts of the Code was a rule forbidding a Jedi from training more than one Padawan at any given time. The Code also embodied the philosophical ideals of the Order, such as discipline, self control, a introspection, and was developed to help the Jedi maintain their devotion to the light side of the Force by rejecting the temptations of the dark side.

During the Imperial Era, few adherents of the Jedi Code remained as a result of the Great Jedi Purge that all but eradicated the Order. When the Order was rebuilt during the New Republic Era, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker trained his apprentices, including his nephew Ben Solo, to adhere to the principles of the Jedi Code.
