Rank of Commander

Just a quick question. Is the Padawan rank of Commander the same as a clones rank. For example, would Anakin as a Padawan be of the same rank as Cmdr.Cody?

 

Heh, second time in a day or two I've whipped out the GGAR article. In the Order of Battle there, it says a clone commander is a rank higher, more or less, than a Padawan commander. A Padawan commander is in command of a regiment, a Senior Clone Commander heads a Legion, and a Clone Marshal Commander heads a Corp. Clone Marshals seem to usually be paired with Jedi Knights, so it would appear they are the same rank.

And, for your example, I believe Cody was a Clone Marshal Commander, so he would have been higher rank than Anakin, until he was promoted to Knight. Then they would've been equal in rank.

Edit: Just checked Wookiepedia, and it says Cody was indeed Clone Marshal Commander of the 7th Sky Corps.

 

Good job...

So if I am reading that correctly, A Jedi General is equal to a Clone Marshall Commander?

 

Well, there are different ranks for the Jedi generals. A Knight general would be equal to a Clone Marshal, a Senior Jedi General (a Master) would be one up from that, and a High Jedi General (Council member) would be the highest Jedi rank, with only Palpatine above them in the chain of command.

 

So what rank does a Republic Senator hold in the GAR? Apparently that one clone that got thrown overboard with Padme answered to her as a superior officer or something >_>

 

They don't hold any rank as they are civillians.

 

In which case the clone should not have really been taking orders from her without some idea of what was going on >_>
