If there€™s one thing that is a massive part of the Star Wars Universe we€™ve not got to fully experience, it is the Jedi Order. We€™ve only ever met Obi-Wan and Yoda, both of whom are in exile. This film promises to expand upon the space wizards, giving Obi-Wan a Master and introducing a plethora of different species, no doubt with their own unique abilities.

The big question is, what will the Jedi be like? Their key traits - wearing local clothes to be disguised and remained quiet and docile to avoid attracting attention - were necessities of Vader€™s hunt. We€™re yet to see what they were like in their prime.

Information is thin on the ground at this point, but it€™s not too out there to expect an exciting new direction (there are the guys who fought in a Clone War after all). The casting is a clue however; Samuel L. Jackson will be bringing his trademarked badass skills as a Jedi. With such cool actors on board, expect the old Jedi view to be soon left behind.
