But what I found inside was so much more elaborate and thoughtful than I could have possibly imagined. I was expecting a sort of TGI Friday’s experience, with ephemera bolted haphazardly to the walls. The highlight of my first trip to Disney Parks’ largest-ever themed land was a visit to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, a combination souvenir shop and Star Wars museum. Even the cast members who work there are in on the action, role-playing as residents of the planet Batuu. The ways of the Force continue to be passed on as Rey takes her next steps as a Jedi.Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge is a remarkable place, designed from top to bottom to bring the world of Star Wars to life. Leia challenged her with grueling obstacle courses, mediation, and studying ancient Jedi texts to complete her training. Rey was later mentored in the ways of the Force by Leia in a Padawan-like relationship. Apprentices Voe, Hennix, and Tai studied alongside Ben Solo at Luke’s Jedi Temple. Luke Skywalker took on multiple students for training, including Leia Organa, and Rey. Some trials were completed through experience in the field Obi-Wan Kenobi attained the rank of Jedi Knight in this manner.īy the time of the New Republic, the Jedi Order and Temple on Coruscant were long gone. No two trials were the same.Ī Padawan was typically a young adult at the time of their trial, although some prodigies like Vernestra Rwoh of the High Republic were as young as 15 years old. Trials were a test of power and intellect, designed to challenge an individual Jedi’s strengths and weaknesses. When a Padawan was deemed ready to become a Jedi Knight, they embarked on a rite of passage known as the Jedi Trials.
A master only took on one apprentice at a time. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker was assigned an apprentice during the Clone Wars for the pair to learn from each other, for instance.įor thousands of years, students in the Temple were handpicked for personal instruction by a Jedi. In the later years of the Republic, Padawans could also be designated by the Council. Masters on the Jedi Council infrequently took a Padawan due to their responsibilities, but several did over the generations. Through most of the Jedi’s history, Padawans were personally selected by their masters. Reath Silas adored being tasked with studying the Jedi Archives Bell Zettifar’s training focused on more adventurous undertakings. Additional instruction and assignments for Padawans were specific to each master. Meditation and lightsaber training were universal instruction studied in groups in the temple. (Even Padawans had a party now and then.) “Able to teach one another much, Padawans are,” Master Yoda was fond of saying, “and far more able are they when their masters watch not.”Ī Padawan’s duties varied. They shared a common area in the Temple where they enjoyed each other’s company during a well-earned break from their studies. Most wore a Padawan braid to denote their status in the Jedi ranks.ĭuring the prosperous era of the High Republic, the Jedi Temple bustled with Padawan learners. A Padawan was an apprentice paired with a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master for teaching and training. When a youngling was ready to graduate into more mature and rigorous study, they reached the rank of Padawan. From the origins of the Jedi Order to the New Republic, Jedi pass on what they have learned to the next generation of Force wielders. Let’s take a look at the past and future of Jedi apprentices. But what does “Padawan” actually mean to the Jedi? Since we first heard the mysterious word uttered by Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Padawan has come to mean young student, apprentice, or learner.

A Jedi continually grows and studies to unlock their full connection to the Force.
