1. Always turn off the power to your lightsaber before jumping into a swamp.

2. Use the Jedi mind trick profusely.

3. A little positive --ahem-- attention makes worried mothers much more compliant.

4. You never lie. You have a different point of view.

5. Only die while your apprentice and\or farmer boy and\or son is watching. This is much more dramatic.

6. Pick up lots of pathetic life forms to annoy your Padawan.

7. If the council will let you, try to take on as many apprentices as possible (see habit #8).

8. Padawans are good for boring jobs such as piloting bongos, finding planets to land on, monitoring the hyperdrive, and analyzing blood samples. Always shovel these duties off onto your nearest apprentice.

9. You can only protect planetary rulers. You can't fight wars for them. Besides, it's easier if everyone else does the fighting.

10. Don't forget, mind tricks don't work on Toydarians.
