Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About The Jedi
1. They Weren't The First To Wield The Force
Predominantly acting as the oldest wielders of the Force seen levitating rocks and blocking blaster bullets with lightsabers on the big and small screen, it seemed pretty safe to assume that the Jedi were the first real group to stumble upon the secrets behind connecting themselves with the almighty power surrounding them and all living things.
That's not actually the case, however.
Long before the days of the Jedi Order or Sith there was another group of beings who discovered the ways of the Force and how to wield it. These alien figures went by the name of the Zeffo, with the mystical entities very much making their presence known in the Jedi: Fallen Order video game.
Instead of referring to the ever-present power as the Force, though, the ancient race called it Life Wind, with only those classed as Zeffo Sages being able to control it in a way similar to that of the Jedi and Sith later down the road.
Yet, it wasn't too long before the race discovered the darker elements of this power, with the Dark Side eventually taking hold of Sage Kujet in particular en-route to him cruelly killing all who opposed him.
By the time Kujet was no more, the race was on its knees and ultimately decided to flee into the "great unknown".
And all that before a single Jedi ever lifted a pebble, eh. What a galaxy.
