Jedi Consular

"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 of the Order, often becoming instructors.

They often preferred lightsaber Form VI, Niman or Form IV, Ataru. The Niman was ideal because the Sage Master had more time to practice political and Force skills than combat ones.

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

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 the best lightsaber duelist of his time.
