In the hierarchy of the Order, a Jedi Knight was lower than a Jedi Master and needed to prove themself worthy of the higher rank. Jedi Knight was a rank within the Jedi Order, referring to a Jedi Padawan who had completed their training and passed the Jedi Trials to become a full member of the Order. ' For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic.' ― Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Luke Skywalker
