I hate that the prequels made no distinction between a Jedi Knight and a Jedi Master - they were merely ranks in the prequels. Before the prequels, I'd always assumed that Knights were the warriors with lightsabers, and the Masters never used weapons of any kind, and were the wise old ones in tune with the Force who guided the Jedi Knights without fighting themselves. Obi-Wan was a Knight, Yoda was a Master.
Yet another missed opportunity for the prequels.

YES! I always thought that too!

Also, why did the Jedi live on a planet covered with cities and busy air traffic and loud noises? I figured they would live on a planet full of nature and clean air where they could live and meditate in peace without distraction. Guess I just don't understand... no, wait, guess it's just stupid.

Totally agree with both of you. I always (& still prefer to) envisioned the Jedi living something like the the Shaolin Monks who invented Kung-Fu: in a remote, difficult to reach temple. Part of the training would be just the journey to get there (kinda like in Batman Begins)... Actually, I envisioned several such temples spread throughout remote regions of the galaxy.
