**** POSSIBLE SPOILERS ****


Seeing as Anakin is supposedly going to be a Jedi Knight in Episode 3, it appears we will never see the Jedi trials in the Star Wars saga. However, I know alot of you folks are into the expanded universe, and I was wondering if anyone knows what the Jedi trials involve?

There's a lot of discontuency in the original trilogy because the story was never meant to be such a success. Therefore there are some plot holes, like how the quotes from Obi-Wan and Vader don't match... Hope that helps....

Anakin will be a Jedi Knight in Ep.III. Just follow the Ep.I. Obi-Wan said that he and Luke Father were once Jedi Knights. Since this is the last one, Anakin would have to be a Knight. Also no braid=no Padawan.

As for trials, I think would be a mixture or a lot of things. Lightsaber skill, knowledge and use of theforce, patients, ect... I think the council would test the Padawan in areas they knew would be hardto him, in order to see how and if he could overcome them.

You could be right JJ, but at that time I don't believe George Lucas had thought very deeply about a ranking system for the Jedi Knights. I believe that when Obi-Wan said he was once a Jedi Knight, he was talking about the Jedi Order as a whole, that they were all "Jedi Knights".

my view:

If you look at pic's of Ep3 (available somewhere, don't really know) you'll see Anakin's hair is changed --> no more braid
so perhaps: no more padawan?

Jj's roight, he indeed was a knight, I really dont know if he'll be a knight by the beginning of that story. I just hope it feels complete, I know most of the story and have a few vid's. and, ive pretty much just started reading the books past the young jedi knights series. All this is pretty cool.

I think trials should be different for each apprentice , like the one luke and kyle set up on both jk2 and jk:ja, cept the ja one wasnt a real trial. So, i think it would be something like either jk2, or a strong mission that the padawan truly overcomes the strength and fears he once had, and sometimes even doing something his master cant through wisdom, etc.. im hungry.

i don't believe that Anakin will be a Jedi Knight yet. While he has proven his skill and power many times, he has not proven his maturity or wisdom. Plus in Ep. 4 he says "When I left, I was but a learner..." so he must still be a padawan or apprentice when he turns.


Maybe you forget some of the things said in the original trilogy, such as Obi Wan Kenobi saying "I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father".

Could be a mission for the padawan. Like with Obi-1 he made it a knight when he defeated maul.
,mayby it has something to do with facing the fear of a padawan, Bit it probably will be specific for the person yae, but the rest cannot be known.:mad:

Yes I believe Anakin will never be trialed (he says so in ep4), and just fall to the d/s. And I agree that the trial for every Jedi is (or should be) different.

Right, and in the Old Republic, even towards the decline, their were several castes of Jedi, so the trials would be similar to the other trials of same caste, but things will differ just as people differ.

I think trials would be different for each Jedi. Wouldn't you call Luke's entrance into the cave a trial? And his ultimate trial was confronting Vader and the Emperor. So I'm sure there's some structure to it, but it may also be something very individualized.

I'd imagine something like Kyle's trial in Outcast, perhaps a bit more archaic. Saber sparring a bit I would imagine, Force puzzles, mabye diplomacy, saber vs. blaster.. It would all depend on what kind of Jedi you are going to be, if your just a jack of all trades Knight it would be a bit of everthing. And most likely also physical endurance.
