Talk:Jedi Council/Legends

Knights on the Council
As I recall, it is a known fact that Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Knight at the time of Episode I&mdash;the only one of that rank on the Council at the time. Anakin stated in Episode III that no one had ever been put on the Council and not made a Master, but I took this to be an error on his part, hyperbole because of his pride and indignance. Has the fact about Ki-Adi-Mundi been retconned, or was Anakin just spewing hot air? – Aidje talk 05:30, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * The official word from Leland Chee - Ki-Adi-Mundi was in the process of becoming a Master when the Battle of Naboo occurred. QuentinGeorge 06:18, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * So the new 'truth' is that Anakin was indeed the first to not be made a Master? – Aidje talk 07:00, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep. Officially, Anakin was the first-Non-Master, and any incidents where Ki-Adi-Mundi calls himself a "mere knight" are just the duffy conehead being modest. QuentinGeorge 07:41, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Members being messed up (i think)
I looked at the council members from the movies, and i can hardly believe that Ki-Adi-Mundi is a limited-term member. I'd guess he's a lifetime member, like Yoda, and Mace Windu.
 * I'd half to agree with you. It seems to me that he was the number three member of the Council actually. -- SFH 19:11, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, that's what the EU established. QuentinGeorge 22:25, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that Ki-Adi-Mundi being a short-term member was confirmed in the EU? I think we should rather think into it critically what we saw in the film, I don't think 12-13 years is short-term. - TopAce 10:55, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, Ki-Adi-Mundi being a limited-term member is confirmed by the EU. It's hardly a problem, for all we know, 33 BBY to 19 BBY may very well be considered short term anyway. QuentinGeorge 12:23, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the Old Jedi Order was misguided at the time, there was a kind of racism against Jedi Knights: No Knights on the Council. From the Dark Horse story Ki-Adi stars, you can see Yoda believes in him and it was he that backed him up to get a seat in the Council, but it must have been impossible to get him a lifetime membership since he wasn't a Master yet. Ki-Adi's a cool guy though, and he sort of became number three in the Council on his own right. My explanation... --Master Starkeiller 12:38, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Ummm....no. There were NO knights on the Council before Anakin. NEVER. You did see, ROTS, yeah? PS That's got nothing to do with racism, as "Jedi Knight" is a rank, not a race. QuentinGeorge 12:40, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * In terms of contradiction - I'd be more concerned about Yaddle - who served for a few centuries as a "limited term member". Maybe they kept renewing her term... QuentinGeorge 12:56, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Ki-Adi became a Council member as a Jedi Knight. Anakin ommited to mention that in his outrage. Check the comics. Plus, I said "a kind of racism". --Master Starkeiller 13:06, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Appearances
I'm not quite sure about the additions to the Appearances section. If you think the Dantooine Council doesn't count, move these two to Sources, as they mention the main Council on Coruscant. - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:41, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * This article isn't just about the High Council. QuentinGeorge 22:25, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Pic from Ep III
A picture where the entire Council can be seen would be more useful, I think. - TopAce 10:56, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
