[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2295171, member: 14159"] Let's look at what we know about the entire process. The Jedi apparently scour the worlds of the Republic for children born with the talent to use the Force. With permission (although apparently some cohersion at times, or so the EU implies) these children are taken to Coruscant and trained as "younglings", given basic training in how to handle a lightsaber, how to use the force, and the basics of the Jedi way. Anakin was taken as a Padawan at age 9, which was considered unusual in a long list of ways (too old to enter the order, normally too young to become a Padawan). Obi-Wan was taken as Qui-Gon's padawan at age 13 (Power of the Jedi soucebook, page 42), and that was seen as quite young as well. Those who are never taken (or apparently not taken by a certain age apparently in late adolescence) as Padawan are sent to "service corps": public service entities run by the Jedi and staffed by force-sensitives with basic training but not accepted to become Knights. Obi-Wan achieved knighthood at age 25, which was apparently fairly typical. Anakin achieved knighthood somewhere between 19 and 22, and was quite the prodigy. Luke's highly unusual road to Knighthood ended at 23. So it looks like students aren't accepted for the advanced end of Jedi training: an apprenticeship normally lasting a few years to become an actual Knight, until they are in their teens, and more likely their mid to late teens. Once a Padawan, they are not bound to the temple anymore, and follow their Master wherever they go, which can be right into the heart of danger, and it's apparently presumed that by the time they are taken as a Padawan they are more experienced, have a basic grasp of the Force, and are mature enough to deal with situations, and those who lack that maturity are the ones who never become Padawan. Remember, the only reason Anakin was accepted into the Jedi was that not only was special dispensation granted to the council for him to be trained, that Qui-Gon (and later Obi-Wan by an promise he made) agreed to teach him. Even if he was allowed to be trained, a rebellious and angry child would normally have an incredibly hard time finding a Master if not for Qui-Gon's intuition that this child had a remarkable destiny.
