A big draw for fans of the Star Wars franchise is the Jedi that populate this universe. These lightsaber-wielding Force users were once a highly respected peace-keeping order in the galaxy, but the rise of the evil Empire saw them almost completely wiped from the universe. Fortunately, Luke Skywalker was able to dismantle the Empire and bring peace back to the galaxy, establishing his own Jedi order and finally passing the torch onto his student, Rey.
