A/N: My first Star Wars fic. I think it'll be about four chapters long, maybe five. Depends. Anyway, please read and review. I hope you enjoy this!

The Jedi are guardians of peace and justice in the Galaxy. They are strong, fearless and kind. They dedicate their entire life to others. They are selfless, mysterious and compassionate. Everyone knows that.

However, there is one thing about the Jedi to which no one has given any thought. Nobody has mentioned it in any of the books about them, no one has studied it. In fact, no one even noticed it despite it being the first thing one sees when seeing a Jedi.

This is the robe.

Of course, people know that Jedi wear robes. It's obvious. The thing that people don't know isn't that Jedi wear robes, it's the story behind them.

Think about it: Every Jedi wears a robe. However, whenever a Jedi gets into a fight they drop their robe. 99% of the time the robe gets burned, ripped, torn apart, stomped on, stolen or simply forgotten. The Jedi never bother to pick the robe up again: mostly they are too busy chasing after the fleeing enemy, reporting back to the Temple on their progress, saving hostages, running away or hundreds of other scenarios. The result: a Jedi needs a new robe after every time he/she fights. And since Jedi fight quite a lot, the amount of new robes needed for the 10,000 Jedi spread across the Galaxy is astronomic.

The average Jedi uses up about 2 robes a week during peacetime, 6 during wars. Anakin Skywalker held the record for the largest amount of robes destroyed- about 7 a week during peacetime, 13 during wars (A war. Anakin only participated in one war, luckily for the Temple that provides Jedi with robes.) A Jedi named Kanim Selon who lived long before the Clone Wars was known for holding on to one robe for a record time, a month and two days. Despite having achieved nothing else, Jedi still remember his name merely because of this accomplishment.

So, where do the Jedi get their robes?

The answer is simple: the Robe Room. This is, in fact, the most visited room in the Temple, a fact that the Jedi try to hide (very successfully. Everyone always thinks that the most visited room is the Chamber of Meditation. Shows you what a good reputation can do). They spend more time there than they do in their own rooms, and definitely more time than in the Meditation Chamber (except for Anakin Skywalker who, despite desperately needing robes, was usually sent to the C.M instead to "calm his emotions"- a punishment that the Council invented especially for him after he had disobeyed their direct orders for the eighth time. Most of the Masters also thought that some meditation couldn't hurt and sent Anakin there every time he strayed from the Jedi Code however slightly. Anakin was, as you might have guessed, the most frequent visitor in the C.M).

The Robe Room is, to put it simply, a storage room. A very big storage room.

Imagine a school gym. Now, multiply it by a hundred. Add clothing racks, a wooden floor, dimly lit lights and row upon row of robes. Robes, robes and even more robes. And some more robes. Imagine that and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the Robe Room looks like.

The racks closest to the entrance are the standard robes- brown ones with wide sleeves. The sizes range from Munah (a race of people two and a half meters tall) to Yoda. These robes are all more or less the same. However, if you wish to find more interesting robes you must venture deeper into the room (beware. There are rumors that a Jedi once wandered in there, got lost and was never seen again. As far as we know there's a skeleton in there somewhere).

The robes you will find deep inside the room are unlike any others, and most of them exist in one copy. Ever seen a purple robe before? A camouflage one? A robe made for someone with five arms, one on the back? Some even say that deep inside there is the robe of Darth Plagueis himself, but no one has ever tried to find it (a wise decision seeing as the task would probably take years).

No one really knows where the robes come from. The older Jedi say that the Force makes them appear out of nowhere, the younger ones think that Yoda struck a deal with the Robemakers of Taj- Hin to deliver the robes secretly to the Temple and make it look as if the robes had appeared out of nowhere. It does not matter much- according to the first version the Force makes the robes appear, according to the second Yoda does, and since the words "Yoda" and "Force" are pretty much synonymous the versions are more or less the same. Whatever the case, the Robe Room has never run out of robes and, as long as the Jedi Order stands, never will.
