Jedi youngling

"Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is."

- Yoda

Jedi younglings, also known as Jedi initiates, were Force-sensitive children who underwent their training in the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Between the ages of four and eight, younglings were divided into ten "clans" of up to twenty children, one of which was the Bear Clan. Prior to their beginning training as Padawan learners, younglings would undergo a series of tests known as the Initiate Trials, as well as The Gathering, an important Jedi rite of passage that tested them on the frigid planet of Ilum. When training to use the Jedi's signature weapon, younglings would study with lower powered training lightsabers which reduced the likelihood of serious injury. Shortly before the onslaught of the Clone Wars, the Jedi younglings were instructed by Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order himself.
