Is Obi-Wan a Jedi Master or a Jedi Knight?

Is Obi-Wan a Jedi Master or a Jedi Knight in Episodes II and III? Taun We refers to Obi-Wan as a Jedi Master in Episode II, and he never corrects her. However, the opening crawl to Episode III says he is a Jedi Knight.

If the answer isn’t in the OT somewhere, then the answer is “shrug.”

Don’t forget when talking to Luke, he mentions he was once a Jedi Knight.

Logic clearly dictates he became a master and is thereby no longer a knight, allowing for his statement to be technically correct 😉

Who cares? In Star Wars there wasn’t even a mention of “Jedi Master’s”

Not enough people read the EU.

He used the italics when spelling “Star Wars” for a reason. The film is more widely known as A New Hope but he chooses to call the film by it’s proper name.

Hence why I used the word but.

In case you wonder where I stand on this issue:

Due to my age, I became a Star Wars fan during the releases of the prequels. So, when I first watched them, I started referring to them by numbers, due to the strong presence of the Roman numerals in the prequel posters and the OT DVD covers. Then the Blu-Rays came out and I bought them to replace my pillarboxed DVDs. This is when I really became peeved at the SEs, due to the new changes which then made me look back and see what else had been changed, making me realize what a farce this all was. For purity’s sake and somewhat out of protest, I started referring to them as Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi, in other words becoming an SW old soul. So I never went through a “New Hope” phase. Today, I’m already to the point that I get annoyed and “correct” my friends when the say things like “the fourth one” or “episode 5,” and don’t you dare refer to it as “A New Hope” around me.
