Jedi Consular



"A Consular is a specialized kind of Jedi. They focus more on cerebral Force skills. They're our healers, our researchers, our seers."

- Zayne Carrick

A Jedi Consular (also called a Jedi seer) was, like all Jedi, skilled in battle, but rarely entered combat, preferring to study the mysteries of the Force. Consulars were the primary scholars and diplomats and seers of the Order, often becoming instructors.

What the Jedi Guardian preferred to achieve by combat, the Jedi Consular achieved by words or the Force. Traditonally, they wielded a green lightsaber, but, like all Jedi, they were free to choose their own color for the blade if they wished.

When they attained the rank of Jedi Master, consulars became known as Sage Masters.

Two Sage Masters joined with two Warrior Masters to build the initial Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

Behind the scenes

 * The use of the term Jedi Consular is usually limited to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. However, the term was canonized in The New Essential Chronology and the Knights of the Old Republic comics.


 * It should be observed that Jedi Guardians Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi both use their lightsabers to deflect Force Lightning attacks while Jedi Consular Yoda uses the Force for the same purpose.


 * Jedi Consulars who have fallen to the dark side still rarely fight in physical combat. Dark Jedi Consulars (or Sith Lords as a prestige class in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords) use the Force to crush their enemies as opposed to using lightsabers.


 * Even though he was a Consular, Yoda was considered to be one of the the best lightsaber duelist of his time. Mace Windu could meet him blade for blade, even the great Anakin Skywalker was said to be less skilled. The same can be said for Kit Fisto, who was also a Jedi Consular, and is also one of the greatest swordmasters the Jedi had. This is perticularly strange, because he was the second last of the Stike Team to fall, second to Mace. The other two were Guardians aswell, which added to the queerity. Also Shaak Ti is also a promenant swords master, when she faced off with 20-odd MagnaGuardsduring the chase of Grievous.
