Message: <blockquote data-quote="drothgery" data-source="post: 4551352" data-attributes="member: 360">Generally, Jedi of Leia's order claim the rank of Knight after graduating from the Academy (usually at level 4-5). People who joined the order after training in other traditions were often granted the rank after a period of study with the Order and evaluation by the Masters....It's probably worth mentioning here that the Lightsaber Master at the New Jedi Order Academy is actually a Jensaarai Defender by birth and training, and most of the senior masters (almost anyone much over 30, in fact) were either largely self-taught, taught under non-Jedi traditions, or taught fragmentary parts of the Jedi tradition from survivors of the Purge (no fully trained pre-Purge Jedi survived by the time Leia established her Academy).It's also worth noting that the New Jedi Order doesn't assign anyone anywhere (other than students at the Academy). They may make requests (and if Padme Solo suggests the consequences of not doing X are dire, it's usually a good idea to do X; she's almost always right about things like that), but that's it.</blockquote>
