Good book to have on hand for all your jedi lore needs, it explains the core themes and goals of the order well, gives fun details about their lives! The margin notes from various characters are entertaining to read + the art inside is nice too.

The only downside of this book is that it's Legends and inaccurate with the new canon. Oh, and that I have no bloody idea who Thame is.
Everything else is great. The commentary is the best, and even those who haven't read any Legends books (like me) will enjoy it. And now I kinda want to read all the other books in that series!

Well-made, very pretty and fun book to learn more about the Star Wars lore. If you're not into Star Wars though, don't bother.

Written in form of introduction-to-Jedi textbook (for school of Jedi :)) this rather small book provides plethora of information that explains rules and obligations of Jedi, way their organization works and challenges that slow promotion from one Jedi level to another is supposed to handle.
Illustrations are pretty good (maybe slightly smallish) and schematics of various devices and ships together with visual presentations of sword fighting techniques truly make this book look and feel as a school textbook. I especially liked chapters on obligations related to taking up Padawan's, various organizations comprised of people that did not pass the trials but decided to stay and server the Order, and finally constant requirement to keep ones emotions at check to avoid falling to the Dark Side (I guess noone on planet Earth would be a Jedi candidate these last few years :))
Although essential guide books and few other books contain much more on the lore itself this book plays the role of starter RPG source-book just fine.
Recommended to fans of Star Wars lore, there is plenty here about Jedi I did not come across anywhere else.

Cool collector's book about the force. It's a textbook about the force and the Jedi order. Fun read for the Star Wars fan.
