Padawan

A Padawan is a title that features in Star Wars.

History

Padawans were young Jedi that were taken in by the Jedi Order and trained in the ways of the The Force.

During the High Republic Era, a common training experience for Padawans was to be placed at a Jedi outpost alongside their master in the Outer Rim Territories, helping to uphold justice in the yet to be explored region. Nevertheless, they were sometimes given off-world assignments that took them away from the outpost. Padawan Bell Zettifar and his master, Loden Greatstorm, were stationed at the Elphrona Outpost. When they were meant to be rotated back to the capital of Coruscant, Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh established a hyperspace blockade due to the Emergences, forcing the two Jedi to stay on Elphrona for some time. During the Nihil pirates' raid on Elphrona, Greatstorm informed his apprentice that he was worthy of the title of Jedi Knight, but—after Greatstorm was captured by the Nihil—Zettifar refused to go through the Jedi Trials until he was rescued, wanting his mentor to attend the ceremony.

After the initiation of Order 66, the newly christened Darth Vader was ordered by his master to take a battalion of clones to raze the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Leading the Clone Troopers, he personally began slaughtering the younglings and Padawans present at the scene.

Overview

In appearance, Padawans were Jedi who were young and still being trained in the ways of the Force to become full fledged Jedi Knights.

No matter their experience or age, all Jedi generally associated meditation with whoever had trained them; despite having been taught the basic principles of the matter during their time as younglings, it was only after becoming a Padawan that a Jedi truly began to understand the process of meditation, spending time, ranging from hours to weeks, sitting next to their master in meditation to uncover the truths of the Force. As such times created an unbreakable bond, it was often the case that a Jedi, even if years had passed since they had last meditated with their master, would find the process difficult after their master died. While it was indeed possible to recover and begin meditation again, the experience was never the same for the affected Jedi.
