No. Temple of the Jedi is an independent educational, archival, and community platform. It does not claim governing authority over the wider Jedi movement, and members may participate while remaining part of another Jedi community, Order, school, or independent path.

To make Jedi education easier to access, improve the quality and continuity of learning, preserve Jedi knowledge, provide private community tools, and create infrastructure that individual Jedi and existing communities can use.

No. The Temple has its own philosophy of the Force and the Three Pillars, but it distinguishes belief from knowledge and does not require speculative claims to be treated as proven fact. Different religious and spiritual interpretations can be explored so long as epistemic integrity is maintained.

The curriculum progresses through Votary, Initiate, Padawan, Knight, Master, and Grand Master. Each stage has a developmental goal: foundations, epistemic discipline, integration, independent application, accountability and legacy, and finally a return to learning and stewardship.

No. The curriculum is actively being developed and the exact required-credit structure has not been fully determined. The public curriculum page shows the educational goals and current subject direction rather than presenting an unfinished checklist as final.

Not necessarily. Mentorship is one pathway and may be the best route for many learners. The Temple is also developing a standardized assessment and prior-learning pathway for experienced Jedi who can demonstrate equivalent knowledge, practice, judgment, and service without completing an apprenticeship.

The curriculum uses a mixture of written work, tests, practical assessment, reflection, research, portfolio evidence, instructor or reviewer feedback, service, and comprehensive trials. The goal is to evaluate integrated competence rather than reward assignment completion alone.

Yes. The curriculum is being designed with required foundations and elective depth. We also actively want Jedi and subject specialists to suggest electives we have not considered.

It can. Prior Jedi coursework, teaching, service, records, independent study, professional experience, academic education, and other relevant evidence may be considered as part of an equivalency review.

The intention is no, when they can demonstrate the same intended outcomes through assessment and evidence. The standard should remain meaningful while allowing more than one route to prove competence.

Not yet. The Temple plans to publish the testing, portfolio, review, and progression requirements before using the pathway for final rank decisions.

No. Contribution and governance are separate. Jedi, educators, researchers, and subject specialists can propose lessons, courses, electives, reading lists, research, assessments, workshops, or archive material without seeking a Council position.

Yes. The Archives can preserve useful material independently of formal training. Historical records, essays, research, files, old course material, and community resources may have value even when they are not used as assignments.

Current areas include philosophy, epistemology, psychology, comparative religion, Jedi history, world history, linguistics, culture, ethics, conflict resolution, meditation, nature, science, education, leadership, technology, practical skills, archives, and related fields. We also want proposals for subjects we have missed.

Yes. Existing material can be adapted for the Temple's Assignment Builder, and Google Forms coursework can be integrated where appropriate. The goal is to preserve useful prior work rather than require every contributor to start from a blank page.

It is a built-in tool that allows qualified instructors to create structured courses and assessments directly inside the Temple platform so lessons, results, and student records remain connected.

Existing Google Forms coursework can be imported or connected to the Temple learning system. Historical completion records can be matched to a registered member using the same email address, so recognized assignments do not need to be completed again simply because the learner changed platforms.

The Archives are a member repository for Jedi educational, historical, research, and community material. Access can vary by content and permission level.

The Temple is intended to give Jedi a focused place for learning and discussion without relying entirely on public platforms such as Facebook. It also keeps community interaction closer to journals, coursework, profiles, records, and Archives.

Expanded personal archival tools are planned. The goal is to let members keep accessible copies of prior forum data, Discord threads, journals, and linked social material, including options that support long-term and offline access.

Yes. TempleoftheJedi.org is built as a progressive web application with offline-oriented functionality in parts of the system, alongside member tools for assignments, records, archives, profiles, notifications, and community interaction.

Register an account to enter the member platform. New learners begin at the introductory level, while experienced Jedi and contributors can identify the path that fits their purpose.

Membership and foundational learning are open broadly. The current handbook sets age 17 as the minimum for undertaking the trials and receiving the title of Jedi Knight. Exact rank, mentorship, and youth-participation requirements remain subject to the Temple's published safety and governance rules.

The platform was created by Devin Hatt (Davi-Kar Carverhart) as a custom web application. It includes a learning system, assignment and record tools, archives, profiles, private community features, progressive-web-app functionality, and integrations intended to support long-term Jedi education and preservation.
