Jedi Sage

Jedi Sages were Jedi Consulars who fought for the Galactic Republic during the Great Galactic War and the Cold War that followed it circa 3,653 BBY.

These Jedi specialized in Force healing and Telekinesis. Jedi Sages were known to primarily wield one single-bladed lightsaber in combat, and were adept at ranged attacks with the Force.

The use of the term "Jedi Sage" to denote specialized Jedi Consulars may have been an adaptation of the term "Sage Master," which was previously used to denote a Jedi Consular of great skill and learning. The term Sage Master was used to describe the subjects of two Bronzium statues at the main entrance of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant memorializing two of the Jedi Masters who founded the temple circa 4,000 BBY.

Behind the scenes
The Jedi Sage will be an advanced class for the Jedi Consular class in the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO video game. This advanced class specializes in the use of Force healing and telekinesis in battle. The Imperial counterpart for this archetype will be the Sith Sorcerer.

The Jedi Sage was originally known as the "Jedi Wizard," but was renamed in a user poll on the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums after fans voiced their distaste for the name.
