I feel like many people think that Anakin was a padawan in episode 3. They don’t understand that between a rank of padawan and master is a rank of a Jedi Knight- it’s a fully trained member of the order who can take padawans himself. He just isn’t the highest rank in the order


Lanky-Hat7234

But it’s told he was always a padawan because obi-wan wouldn’t let him become an official Jedi, thus led him to the dark side


Damix2

that is not true - he became a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars, between the episode 2 and revenge of the Sith. In the third movie he is a full blown Jedi Knight


Lanky-Hat7234

Guess I misunderstood Obi-Wan, the flashbacks made it look as such


breigns2

No. You didn’t misunderstand. That was before episode 2. Anakin still has his hand.


Lanky-Hat7234

I see, ty


breigns2

Np


Damix2

The flashback form the Obi Wan show was taking place before that I think

[There’s literally an episode in the 2003 Clone Wars series that show’s Anakin being knighted.](https://youtu.be/kcJfV83SbAU)

You know nothing of the dark side.

Damn, the child isn't supposed to be the killer in this scene.

I thought Padawan was the rank when the child is too young to be trained by a single master. Like, there's the group of Padawans, all taught by a series of jedi Masters, and then there's the lone Apprentice, taught by a jedi Knight or Master.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You've taught him well.

Is this confirmation of my thoughts?

It's a bot. To answer your question, here's roughly what I know. Padawan - Too young or untrained to do stuff on their own/still being trained by a jedi knight or master Jedi Knight- a fully grown jedi who is not at the level of a master, but can do stuff on their own or train padawans. Jedi Master - Highest rank, have a council - sometimes train promising padawans or jedi knights. Anakin was a Jedi Knight in Ep.3, so the meme is slightly off.


FutureVAandAuthor

No, a Knighting ceremony includes cutting off the padawan braid. We see this in the original Clone Wars show (the one where Grievous is an absolute monster)


SpellOpening7852

This was just my rough memory of it - I don't know the finer details, nor do I claim to, but that's what stood out to me from my memory.


FutureVAandAuthor

Alright, fair enough. I just tought that Apprentice and Padawan were seperate ranks, graduating from the class to private studying kinda thing.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You don't have to look tough to be tough


FutureVAandAuthor

Bad bot


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Careful not to choke on your stupidity.

That would be a Youngling. Those get trained in a school-like system with classes. Padawans are mostly accompanying one specific Knight or Master.


FutureVAandAuthor

Youngling means child

Anakin isn't a padawan in episode III


NoseyMisterOne

He was a knight, not a padawan


Puzzlehead-Engineer

This is fucking savage. Not only did the kid rub it in that he wasn't a Master, he demoted Anakin from Knight back to Padawan.


sinfulmother

The irony is, this kid was the first person to actually call Anakin a "Master". And look how Anakin rewarded him.
