The Jedi Trials

The Jedi Trials
The Jedi Trials are a series of trials that a padawan must undergo in order to advance to the rank of Jedi Knight. The High Council selects padawans they feel are ready to take the trials, though masters may recommend padawans to the Council if they feel that they are ready.

Trial I: Trial of Skill
The Trial of Skill consists of a challenge in order to test the padawan's combat abilities. The test typically involves facing an opponent of some sort or a series of opponents. Defeating a strong adversary in battle may qualify a padawan to pass this trial.

Trial II: Trial of Courage
The Trial of Courage tests a padawan's courage by facing them with an unspeakable challenge or opponent. These trials often involve high-risk missions or simulated missions within the temple. The details of these trials are kept secret. Facing a powerful adversary in battle may qualify a padawan to pass this trial.

Trial III: Trial of Flesh
The Trial of Flesh involves the padawan enduring great physical or emotional pain, hardship or loss. The Trial of Flesh may be simulated by the Council or granted to a padawan who is injured in battle.

Trial IV: Trial of Spirit
The Trial of Spirit involves the padawan facing their own inner darkness, often referred to as looking in the mirror or the nexus.

Trial V: Trial of Insight
The Trial of Insight involves the padawan seeing through deception or illusion.
