MasterChiang Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Something I have noticed about the Jedi's ranking system is rather strange. After an individual passes initial Jedi training, he becomes an apprentice. Once he has passed three tests, he is elevated to padawan. Next, he must pass the Trials to become a Knight. At that point, he may take on his own apprentice and in turn earn the title of master. However, it seems that while one could have the title of master, he may not necessarily have the rank itself. Both Obi-Wan and Anakin are good examples. Kenobi is referred to as a Jedi Knight in Episode II, but he is clearly a Jedi Master in Episode III. Anakin is referred to as "master" by Ahsoka. However, in Revenge of the Sith, the Council denies him the rank of Master. That means only the Jedi Council can promote individuals from Knight to Master.

DeutschGamer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ashoka calls him master because that's what he is to her, as all Knights/Masters are to their padawans. Just the same as when civilians call Jedi "Master Jedi", its not because they are masters but its a form of respect to their stature or position. But it is true that only the council has the authority to promote someone to Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
