- "Hmm… our enemy created an army for us."
"If this was known, public confidence in the war effort, the Jedi, and the Republic would vanish. There would be mass chaos."
"Cover up this discovery we must. No one, not even the Chancellor, may know." - ―Yoda and Mace Windu
Master of the Order, also known as Master of the Council[4] or Grand Master of the Jedi High Council,[5] was the title of the elected leader of the Jedi High Council. The holder of the office was appointed by the members of the High Council by unanimous vote. Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda served as head of the Order, in turn, during the late era of the Galactic Republic.[1] The office of Master of the Order was distinct from the title of Grand Master, who was the leader of the Jedi Order,[6] until the two positions were consolidated once war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems grew inevitable.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
The Master of the Order title first appeared through Mace Windu in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[7] It was first canonized in the 2015 reference book Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know.[1] The title was originally introduced in the 2004 Star Wars Legends novel Yoda: Dark Rendezvous.[8]
