Grand Master/Legends

Grand Master, also known as the Supreme Master or High Master, was a title used in both the Old and New Jedi Orders.

History
Formally Grand Master of the Jedi Order, only the highest-ranking Jedi Masters took the title, although how exactly one earned it is unknown. The Grand Master was apparently the "first among equals" of the Jedi High Council, or the later Masters' Council.

By the time of the Conclave of Exis Station, Nomi Sunrider was the acknowledged leader of the entire Jedi Order.

Yoda was the last and only other known Grand Master of the Old Jedi Order, although there may have been one during his time as a knight, and possibly some time into his Mastery: his report on the Battle of the Chu'unthor was made to a single, enthroned "high master," not a council. Luke Skywalker achieved the title after he rebuilt the Order, though he did not formally assume the title until the Swarm War.

Behind the scenes
Some fans have speculated as to the identity of other Grand Masters&mdash;Odan-Urr, Vodo-Siosk Baas, Lord Hoth, Valenthyne Farfalla, and Ood Bnar are popular choices. Nothing in current literature indicates this, however.
