() Said to have been adapted by George Lucas from Japanese jidaigeki (meaning "period drama" motion pictures about samurai), or perhaps contaminated by association with the warrior’s title "jed" in the Barsoom Books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, a series which Lucas considered adapting to film before his work on Star Wars. Notably an abbreviation of jediah ("God knows" or "God protects") and of jedidjah ("being protected or loved by God"), the first name of King Salomon
