First Principles
These are the basic ideals which are instilled into every potential Jedi candidate. Chief among them is the tenet that the Jedi Knights exist to neutralize those who who use power to become tyrants.

Flashburn
A term used by Jedi Masters to describe the way in which certain Jedi and Force-sensitive individuals will close off areas of their minds in reaction to a large, emotional trauma. The result is that the individual has sections of their memory seeming cease to exist, and they can't remember details about the thing at the center of the trauma. Corran Horn was flashburned when he believed his Mirax was lost, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone.

Flint
A Force-sensitive Jedi candidate who was trained in the use of the Dark Side by Darth Vader. Flint became known as the Dark Lord of Beldarone, and was slighted by Luke Skywalker following the Battle of Endor. Luke was able to control Flint and stop him from reviving the Sith magic.

Force, The
An energy that occurs naturally in the galaxy, it springs from all forms of life. It has two "sides," a good side and a Dark Side, although this is a great oversimplification of the Force’s existence. It has many sides, including a living element and a unifying element, and it binds all things together in a great web of existence. The Jedi Knights discovered that the Force was accessible to all living beings through the presence of midi-chlorians in their cells. The more midi-chlorians that inhabited a being’s cells, the more the being was able to contact the Force. However, a high concentration of midi-chlorians did not guarantee a being control of the Force. Only through intense study and dedicated training could a being become proficient in harnessing the power of The Force. The Jedi Council discovered that younger beings had an easier time of learning the techniques required to touch and control the Force, and eventually developed a system that actively sought out and identified beings with high midi-chlorian counts at their birth. With the permission of the parents, the Jedi took children no more than one year old away for training. Children and older beings, who had already established a set pattern of mental and physical usage, often were unable to complete the necessary training, and were deemed too wasteful of Jedi resources. The Jedi Knights have historically been the most powerful users of The Force, having trained with and learned the three basic techniques: control (the manipulation of one's internal Force strength), sense (detection of the Force in the external world), and alter (manipulation of matter with the Force). These techniques, used by themselves or in combination, allow the Jedi to perform many different activities with the Force. For more information, refer to the category The Force here.

Force Lightning
A corruption of The Force which manifests itself in blue lightning, which can be directed at an opponent. Many Dark Jedi use this, while the Light Side Jedi do not.
