Protectors, The
this was a term used by certain members of the Jedi Order to describe their membership, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was a term that sprang from the basic Jedi beliefs that all life must be protected and nurtured. As the Old Republic became more stagnant and the Jedi Order more insular, the Protectors was a term used with something more along the lines of conceit and pride, further evidence of how far the Jedi had fallen from their ancient ideals.
