It is claimed that the Jedi, who are an order of warrior monks who serve as the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, were invented by the mind of George Lucas sometime in the early 70's. I wonder if Lucas has ever laid out why his Jedi resemble so very closely the College and Order of the Heralds from C. M. Kornbluth's 1952 story, That Share of Glory. If Lucas has never formally made this connection then I am here to say, someone has some splanin' to do and the family of Cyril Kornbluth is owed some serious royalty money.
