Jedi Knight/Legends


 * ''There is also a video game called Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

Jedi Knight was a rank in the Jedi Order. It was the rank just above Padawan and just below Master. Because Knight was the most prevalent rank, the entire order was often referred to as the Jedi Knights, even by its own members.

Achieving Knighthood in the Old Republic
After a Padawan had spent enough time learning from his or her Master, the Padawan would take the trials of Knighthood. If the Padawan passed, they were declared to be a Knight of the Republic. The customary Padawan's braid was shorn off with a lightsaber in the Knighting ceremony held in the Hall of Knighthood (assuming the padawan was of a species that grew hair). Only the Jedi Council or the Padawan's Master could promote a Padawan to the rank of Knight. Most Knights were promoted to Jedi Masters after they successfully entered a Padawan into Knighthood themselves, although in rare cases they could also be promoted to Master without having done this, and many Knights were addressed as "Master" at least by their own apprentices.

The Knighting Oath
The Master heading the knighting ceremony would recite the following formula:


 * ''"Step forward, Padawan. [Name of Padawan], by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee, Jedi Knight of the Republic."
