Jedi Master/Legends



Jedi Master was the highest rank a Jedi could obtain, and a requirement (except in two rare circumstances) for becoming part of the Jedi Council, which is the main interface between the Jedi and the government of the Republic. It is reserved for those who have shown exceptional devotion and skill in the Force. The title of Sith Lord is on par with a Jedi Master.

The rank was usually achieved by Knights by successfully entering Padawans into knighthood. When a teacher felt that his or her Padawan was ready, the Council would usually promote the Padawan to Jedi Knight and the teacher to Jedi Master. The Master could then pick another apprentice. The rank could also be granted by the Jedi Council to a Knight for performing some extraordinary deed or service, although this was rare. Even rarer (often frowned on) was for a Knight to assume the rank without the Jedi Council's approval.

It should be noted that Anakin Skywalker, who surpassed many Jedi Masters in raw power, never rose above the level of Jedi Knight before turning to the Dark Side. This is attributed to his pride and lack of experience.

Some Masters, perhaps those who were members of the Council, or those who were too old for missions, tutored Younglings or took care of other things in the Jedi Temple. Such Masters included Jocasta Nu, Yoda and Shaak Ti.
