A  Jedi was a member of the  Jedi Order, who studied, served and used the mystical energies of  the Force; usually, the  light side of the Force. The weapon of the Jedi was the  lightsaber, a weapon with a blade made of pure energy. The Jedi fought for peace and justice in the  Galactic Republic, usually against their mortal enemies, the  Sith and  Dark Jedi, who studied the  dark side of the Force. Although the Order was almost destroyed five times, including once by the  Sith Empire of  Darth  Revan, by the  Sith Triumvirate under  Darth Nihilus during the  First Jedi Purge shortly after, 4,000 years after that, by the  Great Jedi Purge<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:23px;"> of  Darth Sidious<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:23px;">, and a century afterwards by  Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:23px;"> and it's  Third Jedi Purge<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:23px;">, the order continued to live on, in part due to the  Skywalker family <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:23px;">who time and time again played important parts in the history of the Jedi.
