Jedi battle armor was a type of armor worn by members of the Jedi Order.

Description

When the Jedi battled Sith warriors in ancient days, many wore suits of armor to protect themselves from the weapons of their enemies. Crafted by some of the best armorsmiths in the galaxy, these suits of battle armor were extremely resistant to cutting edges and blaster fire alike. They were also quite cumbersome, and each one was custom forged for its wearer. Though hundreds of such suits were made, only a handful had survived to the present day in anything resembling usable condition, and all specimens were still fitted to their wearers of old.[1]
