lukeiamyourdad Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Ok someone will be saying:"Go ask this to the Council of Star Wars.com" , I just wanted to point out that I want this to be here first just to see people's opinion and views. Anyone dare guess what's the origin of the word Jedi? Does it has a signification? Is it only a word that Lucas said sounded cool? What are the origins of the word "Jedi"?
BawBag™ Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Hmmmm, I read something somewhere (and my recollection is very plain) but it's a variation of a word used to describe ancient warriors (of which country I can't recall).... Y'know something silly like that.
keestuijp Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I read somewhere that it was a variation (?) of the word Jidai or something, which meant something like samurai... or something
Jedi_Monk Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 From the Episode I Scrapbook: Samurai Inspiration For the word Jedi, George Lucas was inspired by the Japanese Jidai Geki, which refers to a drama set in medieval Japan during the time of the samurai.
