In the OT Jedi seems to mean more than just Jedi Knight.
I always felt the same way. And it was for that reason that it somewhat annoyed me in ROTS when Obi-Wan was made a Jedi Master. That seemed to come out of left field. Obi-Wan was a Jedi Knight. He fought. He was a warrior. He had been in wars in his youth. Yoda was a Jedi Master. He was a teacher. He was a philosopher. He was more spiritual. It seemed an important distinction to me as a child, but that distinction was done away with in the prequels.
