Jedi Consular

A Sage Master (sometimes called Jedi Consular) was, like all Jedi, skilled in battle, but rarely entered combat, preferring to study the mysteries of the Force. Sage Masters were the primary scholars and diplomats of the Order, often becoming instructors.

They often preferred the Niman or the Ataru fighting style. The Niman was ideal because the Sage Master had more time to practise political and Force skills than combat ones.

What the Warrior Master preferred to achieve by combat, the Sage Master achieved by words or the Force.

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. The most famous of these were Masters Yoda and Coleman Trebor. Following her training, Leia Organa Solo also became a consular.


 * While the Jedi classes are non-canon, it can be observed that Jedi Guardian Mace Windu uses his lightsaber to deflect Force Lightning attacks while Jedi Consular Yoda uses the Force for the same purpose.
