Jedi
Lightsaber-wielding peacekeepers
A Jedi is a member of the monastic warrior order in the Star Wars universe, guardians of peace who wield lightsabers and command a mystical energy called the Force.
Outside the franchise, Jedi describes someone with exceptional skill or seemingly supernatural ability in a domain: He's a spreadsheet Jedi.
The Jedi mind trick—using the Force to influence weak-minded individuals—has become shorthand for any persuasive manipulation: Don't try your Jedi mind tricks on me.
