guidebook published by the Jedi Order to be used as an instruction manual for Jedi Initiates as they familiarized themselves with the Order's teachings and the ways of the Force. First published in the decade following the Ruusan Reformation, the idea for a manual was proposed by Grand Master Fae Coven; who, with the help of her fellow Jedi Masters, was able to complete the book and circulate it amongst the Order's academy students. While Coven was the primary author, several other Jedi contributed to the book, adding details that related to their specializations as Jedi. These Masters included Morrit Ch'gally, Bowspritz, Sabla-Mandibu, Restelly Quist, Crix Sunburris, Skarch Vaunk, and Gal-Stod Slagistrough. As of 115 BBY, the book had been published in its third edition, seeing slight revision, and factual correction. Over the next one hundred standard years, one copy of the book was passed down from Jedi Master to Padawan, starting with Grand Master Yoda, who passed it along to Thame Cerulian, Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano. This particular copy, well annotated by its various owners and filled with memorabilia from over the years, survived the Great Jedi Purge and fell into the possession of Darth Sidious. After the Emperor's death in 11 ABY, the book was recovered by Squib salvagers near the remains of Byss, and given to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Skywalker used this material, as well as several holocrons he had gathered over the years, to rebuild the Jedi Order.Read full review
I love Star Wars and I've seen how excited people have been getting over these collectors books so I couldn't resist picking up a copy. This is way more than just a book. It's interactive and filled with notes from Luke Skywalker like you have stumbled across his personal studies. There's also a Jedi order patch that you can sew onto your jacket and a couple other fun things that come in between the pages of the book. I highly recommend it. This was a blast to read.

I purchased this for my son age 38 and he absolutely loved it!! He opened and shut it at least 20 times Christmas Day and he was like he was 12 years old again! His eyes sparkled like the star on top of our tree. He said it was the best Christmas he ever had. THEN...lol...he preceded to hint about getting the other Star Wars books in the set! Little on the pricey side but it was well worth it!!! Saving up for the other ones!

Loved the box loved how it opened! The book is amazing but you have to push the box closed really? Shocked they could put that in as a feature? Star Wars fan will go rogue for this in depth piece of Jedilore!

Got this for an adult family member who is a HUGE Star War fanatic. Was great to see his reaction when he pressed the button and the book came out. His reaction was like a child on Christmas day. Works great, 100% as described. Thank you!
