The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force (real-life book)

The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force is a reference book on the Jedi Order and its history by Daniel Wallace. It was released on September 28, 2010.

Although the book has 160 pages, at Celebration V it was revealed that pages 13-16 discuss the prophecy of the Chosen One and are missing, with the in-universe reason being that Darth Sidious tore them out.

It contains multiple inserts placed there by different Jedi, such as Qui-Gon Jinn's Padawan braid and Thame Cerulian's Jedi credit.

The book's in-universe history is that it is the third edition of a Jedi training guide, printed in 115 BBY, and survived the Great Jedi Purge in the possession of Darth Sidious. It was recovered by Squib salvagers near the remains of Byss, and given to Luke Skywalker.

In September 2011, a trade edition of the book was released without the Vault or extra items. This version retained tattered edges, but the section on the Chosen One was marked through rather than torn out.

On January 15, 2012 the book was re-released with additional content and illustrations in an enhanced e-book edition.

The book was released again in August 2014 as part of a Deluxe Box Set with Book of Sith that included two art prints depicting figures from Sith and Jedi history, and again in September 2016 as Star Wars: Secrets of the Galaxy Deluxe Boxed Set with the Imperial Handbook and Bounty Hunter Code.
