Jedi Creed
Founders: “The Big Three”
Relan Volkum, Streen & Mitwra
August 6th, 1999
August 6th 1999 The Big Three created the “Jedi Creed” Mitth's had skills in webmastery and understanding Jedi concepts from Star Wars. Relan was good at summarizing Jedi spiritual concepts and philosophy, and Streen's skill in Jedi learning experience and Jedi website awareness made them a powerful team that produced a successful community. The Jedi Creed became a place where many great and well-known Jedi today learned from. It began to expand as a realistic group which could be practiced in the real world. The term Jedi Realism came from this idea.
In 2001 things changed quite drastically. March 6th, 2001. BBC’s published the article “The Gospel According to Luke (Skywalker)” onto their website. It was quite a tongue lashing towards the online Jedi movement and the Jedi Creed was it’s main target. The results lead to an overrun of reporters visiting the site and speaking with it’s members and leaders for quotes and interviews to add into their own news.
This was a time of trial in that the leaders came together and had to decide how to respond to the overwhelming onslaught that took over their community. The subject split down the middle. While Streen and Tionne (Another head leader of the Jedi Creed at the time) were enthusiastic about the attention. They felt this was a great opportunity to get the Jedi Community represented and known more publically while Relan and Mitth were against the idea and pleaded for a plan of retreat. In the end the later was decided. E-mails were deleted, information was locked and put behind doors and the members scattered, discouraged by all the attention and onslaught of misrepresentation of their beliefs and views.
“The incident though had a lasting effect on the website. Because the members attempted to get away from all of the attention, the Jedi Creed was never updated again, the discussion forum was ignored, and its domain name was eventually sold to the highest bidder. Mitth, Streen, and Relan also agreed to separate and go their own paths.” ~Relan Volkum
