To achieve the title, he would not only need to change his attitude considerably, but also pass the trials like any other Jedi Knight.įrom what I understood in the movies, the general disagreement was that whilst Anakin was powerful enough in the force to become a Jedi Master, he had not fully embraced the way that the Jedi Order operated. In the minds of many Masters, this is something that Anakin hadn't even come close to yet. In essence, a Jedi Master should embody the traits and ideals upheld by the Jedi Order. The title of Jedi Master is given to a Jedi Knight to show that they have an advanced understanding of the Jedi Way & The Force. If what you told me is true, you will have gained my Great deal of confusion in you, young Skywalker. MACE WINDU: For your own good, stay out of this affair. We must moveĪNAKIN: Master, the Chancellor is very powerful. MACE WINDU: Then our worst fears have been realized. Much of this disagreement about Anakin takes place off-screen, so this statement serves two purposes - A) it sums up the mistrust of Anakin in a single sentence, but also B) shows that Anakin can still be redeemed at this point. It was their hope that Kenobi's teachings would "smooth out" the rough spots in Anakin and eventually help him become true to the Jedi Way. Without the approval of the Council if I must.īoth Mace and Yoda had often discussed both the potential and danger of Anakin Skywalker, yet both trusted Obi-Wan Kenobi implicitly. OBI-WAN: Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. YODA: The Chosen One the boy may be nevertheless, grave danger I fear ButĪgree on you taking this boy as your Padawan learner, I do not. YODA: Confer on you, the level of Jedi Knight the Council does.
Yoda mentions it again when informing Kenobi of the Council's decision: I think, hmm?ĪNAKIN: (a little angry) What's that got to do with anything? KI-ADI: Your thoughts dwell on your mother. This was first hinted at when young Anakin was being evaluated by the Jedi Council: In fact, they were typically the attributes of the Sith. Beyond that, he often proved to be reckless, headstrong, and ambitious - all attributes the Jedi attempted to avoid. There had always been a darkness about him, ever since he was first introduced as a child.
Quite simply, Mace Windu - and many other Jedi Masters - did NOT trust Anakin Skywalker.
