With our latest Units of History episode we explore the galaxy of star wars lore and star wars history. This documentary covers the history of the Jedi Knights of the Republic.

We begin with a discussion of the origins of the Jedi Order. This has been disputed by many sources but can be traced back to the worlds of Tython or Ahch-To. It is here that early force users created the beginnings of a group which would eventually evolve into the Jedi Order. We cover the Rise of the Jedi and the Old Republic as well as the origins of the Sith which would put all three on a collision course for massive wars over the centuries.

We then turn to how knights of the old republic would have been armed for battle. This includes looking at light saber lore including Kyber crystals and the Dark Saber. We then look at the training and organization of the Jedi Order. Finally we look at the service history of the Jedi Knights. This will have involved massive conflicts like the Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Purge, and the Clone Wars. Specific examples are given for Jedi battles like Revan at the Battle of Malachor V, Mace Windu at the Battle of Geonosis, and Obi Wan Kenobi at the Battle of Kamino.

We've loved diving into the rich history of Star Wars lore and the team was truly inspired by the work of past projects like Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic which brought the universe to life. What units of star wars should we cover next? The Sith? The Mandalorians? The Clone Commandos? Let us know!
