CadderlySoaring posted:As said, the terms "Jedi Knight", "Jedi Apprentice" and errr...."Trainee?" are very...very loose under Luke's regime. Perhaps the Vong Invasion officially stopped such protocols due to the chaos that ensued but ever since Luke sent a bunch of non-official "Knights" on a deadly mission, it can be said that the Jedi levels are loosely followed. But there's nothing wrong with that, I think. Luke was doing everything on a wing and a prayer earlier on without guidance. Neither Yoda nor Obi Wan never told them about the ways of the Old Republic Jedi Order...and perhaps they had their reasons. Since it ultimately failed.

I wonder why Anakin got to go earlier? ah well.... Possibly because he was the strongest of the three and maybe he wanted to go since the academy had students his age there as well.
Xiphos posted:I think Ben had a chance to go to the dark side and might have, had he not seen Jacen interogate Ailyn and heard him kill her. Ben held Jacen in that category where some kids do with heros. You know, they wanna be just like there hero. Had it stayed like that, Ben would've been easy to manipulate and he could've fallen to the dark side.
Nishka posted:It would be nice if in the next novel after Legacy of the force. Ben is a bit older and is the main star. I think it would help a lot for us to just see an author completly describe what Ben is capable of. If he is the future of the Jedi, just run with it.

We already had to miss basically the entirety of the Solo children's 20s. I always thought that would be their finest hour but NOO they just skipped it. At least Ben being a young Jedi Knight at this point allows us to keep to a certain point in the timeline without having to jump ahead.I don't want to hear that 80 is the new 20 this time or something like that...The more we jump around the closer we get to Legacy. I don't want stories about Ben having to find Hospice care or an assisted living on Coruscant for his senile father.... Oh and there's been mention of how Leia was knighted two or three times. I personally never saw things that way. I might have to go read it again, but in the Correlian trilogy, Luke gave Leia a lightsaber he made and told her she had as much right to carry it as anyone else, because she acted as a Jedi in her own way, as the chief of state. In my mind, that's like giving someone an honorary diploma from a University. Doesn't mean they actually GRADUATED. When Leia approaches Saba for training, she decides to actually take the classes and earn her own diploma, I.e. construct a lightsaber. Even though Luke called her a Jedi, she hadn't earned it through training, just through her actions. Sort of like how Kyle Katarn told Rosh Penin he was a Jedi in the DS ending of JA. Rosh hadn't completed his training, but he had acted as a Jedi. I'm sure Luke sees exactly the same thing in his son, therefore he refers to him as such without having actually completed the training. An "Honorary" Jedi, if you will....

As far as Leia goes, she was a Knight or at least an upper level apprentice in Dark Empire. Then over the years she bounced back and forth, which was pretty annoying to me, but she was Head of State and her path as Jedi was put on the back burner. You are right about Leia getting her act together and officially joining the family business when she asked Saba to train her and be a full on and legit Jedi Knight. That moment made me a happy reader.
