Jedi don't get paid individually for Service to the Republic. The organization; the monastic military order, receives payment from the republic for services rendered. So the Order is wealthy, the individuals are not.
Anyone can become a Jedi, regardless of Force-sensitivity. The Church of the Force and Guardians of the Whills respect and revere Jedi without being Force-sensitive. The Jedi Order consists of different ranks, and in the past, there were additional paths like Jedi Counselors and Jedi Guardians.
The Jedi would also work as warriors, troubleshooters, and diplomats for the Republic but claimed to be impartial judges. However, given that they were working for the Republic, trust in the Jedi was not the same for everyone.
They don't earn money. I supposed they'd rely on charity and community, the same way anyone would in a monastic organization. @Sonic Revolution the clones were paid for by the Republic Senate. The original commission was likely made through palpatine in secret, and then throughout the war it was the Republic.
In the Jedi Order, emotional attachment and possession were forbidden because it was believed they could lead to jealousy and fear of loss, and ultimately the dark side of the Force; for that reason, Jedi were not allowed to marry.
Although the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones established that the Jedi Order members couldn't marry or have children, Star Wars creator George Lucas explained that despite their monastic culture, the Jedi were permitted to have sexual intercourse as long they didn't form attachments or possessive ...
In both canon and Legends, the Jedi Order forbade marriage for much of its history. In the new canon, the High Republic-era Jedi may have been allowed to form romantic relationships and marry, but this fell out of practice sometime before the prequels.
The Jedi and The force are both fiction. Training yourself in sword skills, physical skills and patiences don't make you a Jedi because Jedi are only in the Star Wars universe.
Going off what Kanan Jarrus told Ezra Bridger in Star Wars Rebels, there were at least ten thousand Jedi Knights before Order 66. If Jarrus' number is accurate—and assuming it doesn't account for Padawans and Masters—that means that about one in every 100 billion people was a Jedi.
A lot of Jedi were off planet. According to Imperial Estimates in Star Wars Inside #87, only about 100 of the Jedi survived Order 66. Most were subsequently hunted down and killed in the years following the Great Jedi Purge.
Most of the Jedi easily outlived the average human. just by being connected to the force. However, some used it to let them live for hundreds of years, similar to Grandmaster Yoda. who made it till he was about 900 years old.
They were taught that their loyalty was to be to the Force, the Jedi Order, the Republic and to themselves, in that order. Nor were they allowed to accept gifts - the latter did not include the traditional Padawan gift, given to the students by their Masters and presents given to them out of gratitude.
Instantly recognizable by its distinctive crown of five spires, the Jedi Temple was the home of the Jedi Order on Coruscant. Part school and part monastery, the Jedi Temple was the central hub for all Jedi activities in the galaxy.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi grossed $620.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $712.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.333 billion.
Like all Cereans, Mundi practiced polygamy due to the 1-to-20 male-to-female ratio among his species. Mundi first married Shea, his bond-wife, and later married four honor-wives, including Mawin.
Feeding into fear of loss and greed, leading to jealousy, attachment was selfish, a shadow of greed and thus a path of the dark side of the Force. Therefore, attachment was forbidden for a Jedi, who had to train themselves to let go of everything they were afraid to lose; to renounce all attachments.
Under the original order, Jedi were forbidden to marry because they believed attachment could lead an individual to the dark side, as was the case with Shaela Nuur.
With the exception of Anakin Skywalker, prospective Jedi were identified a short time after birth by the quantity of midi-chlorians in their blood, a factor which indicated the level of a subject's Force-sensitivity. Many of these children were listed within Jedi holocrons before being identified by the Order.
What they are not allowed to do is submit to feelings of fear, hate or anger. If a Jedi could repeatedly drive someone face-first into the ground without hate, anger or malice, then they would not be betraying the principles of the Order.
The director has, on several occasions, confirmed that Jedi were not expected to be celibate, but were expected to abstain from forming strong personal attachments to other beings. In Lucas's words, it's "possessive relationships" that cloud the judgment of a Jedi -- as was the case with Anakin and Padme.
Yes but they tend to sacrifice them to gain greater power in the dark side. Of course! The Dark Disciple is a great example of this - showing the relationship between Asajj Ventress and Quinlen Vos (who was seduced to Sith practices during the book).
Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was the most famous member of the family. Due to the low Cerean birthrate, he was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.
