Within the Jedi Academy, several ranks can be found, such as:

• The Initiate

The very first step on a Jedi’s journey—a beginner learning to sense the Force and grasp the fundamentals of lightsaber training. At this stage, students absorb the basic tenets of the Jedi Code under careful supervision, setting the groundwork for all future learning.

 

• The Padawan Learner

Representing an intermediate stage between an Initiate and a full Padawan, where potential is recognized but foundational skills are still being refined. In this phase, the student deepens their understanding of the Force and begins practicing more advanced techniques, preparing them for a formal apprenticeship.

 

• The Padawan

An apprentice formally assigned to a Jedi Knight or Master, receiving one-on-one mentorship in both the physical and philosophical aspects of the Jedi way. Through rigorous training, they gradually master lightsaber combat, develop Force sensitivity, and learn to embody the values of duty and compassion.
