"The ancient Jedi mystics were attempting to look into the future, but they were rooted in their own time—as we all are."
―Qui-Gon Jinn, explaining the mystics to Obi-Wan Kenobi[1]

Jedi mystic was a term used to refer to members of the ancient Jedi Order who made prophecies based on visions granted to them via the Force.[1]

By approximately 40 BBY,[2] the practice had long fallen out of favor with most Jedi, who felt that anticipating the future in such a manner was potentially a path to the dark side of the Force. There were some, however, who took an interest in the prophecies. These included the Jedi Master Dooku and his students, Rael Averross and Qui-Gon Jinn.[1]

Prophecies

The Jedi mystics made a number of prophecies which became the subject of fascination among certain Jedi of later generations. These included, but were not limited to the following:

  • She who will be born to darkness will give birth to darkness.
  • When the kyber that is not kyber shines forth, the time of prophecy will be at hand.
  • One will ascend to the highest of the Jedi despite the foreboding of those who would serve with him.
  • Only through sacrifice of many Jedi will the Order cleanse the sin done to the nameless.
  • The danger of the past is not past, but sleeps in an egg. When the egg cracks, it will threaten the galaxy entire.
  • When the Force itself sickens, past and future must split and combine.
  • A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored.
  • He who learns to conquer death will through his greatest student live again.[1]
