I think it's fair to say that most of us here are familiar with the Jedi Code:

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no death, there is only the Force.

But did you know that there Jedi Code went through a number of other proposed variations before the Council settled on the above text? For instance, the original proposal went something like this:

There is no peanut, there is butter
There is no band, there is a wagon
There is no Tic, there is a Tac and a Toe
There is no Boogey; there is only a man

For obvious reasons, the Council by-and-large rejected this proposal. Next, a faction of Jedi Purists emerged pushing this Code:

There is no beak on the Sarlacc, there is a giant hole.
There is no Jedi Rocks, there is Lapti Nek.
There is no Hayden Christiansen, there is Sebastian Shaw.
There is no Special Edition, there is only the Holy Trilogy.

This variation actually took hold and caught on for a while, finally being settled by a full-out Council brawl. While it's unclear who shot first, the dissenters walked away with victory, and the discussion started anew. A Jedi who was also a B'omarr Monk proposed this next one:

There are no eyes, there is sight.
There are no ears, there is sound.
There is no nose, there is smell.
There are no sensory organs, there is only observation.

Unfortunately for that Monk Jedi, none of the other Jedi really got it, so they moved on. The next was proposed by the Temple Babysitter:

There is no talking out of turn, there is raising your hand.
There is no unauthorized Force use, there is proper training.
There is no staying up past lights out, there is a good night's sleep.
There is no horseplay, there is only good behavior.

The Council decided, however, that they wanted the Code to have more application than just for Younglings, however. One Master got the bright idea that if they did it right, they could make some money off of the Code:

There is no other cell provider, there is Herizon.
There is no other soft drink, there is Kroak-Cola.
There is no other speeder, there is Chevinrolet
There is no other cereal, there is Admiral Ackbar Crunch.

Some of the other Jedi argued that they couldn't possibly make enough money to justify this sort of product placement, however, so it was back to the drawing board. One young Councilmember thought he hit gold with this:

There is no Enterprise, there is the Millenium Falcon.
There are no Vulcans, there are Wookiees.
There are no phasers, there are lightsabers.
There is no guy with putty on his face, there is a Giant Green Star Wars Rabbit.

...Luckily for all of us, the Jedi Council did finally settle on the Jedi Code as we know it. But the road to its creation was a long and difficult one.

Are you privy to any other suggested Jedi Codes that ended up in the trash bin? Please share in the comments section!
