it says that luke skywalker is a gaurdian but i would place him as a sentenial can anyone tell me why it did that? —Unsigned comment by 71.230.179.212 (talk • contribs).
- If you are asking what source says that Luke's a Guardian, it was Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook. If you asking why they made him a Guardian, well, they wanted to.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 22:47, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- When WOTC wrote those books, there was no jedi sentinel, only the jedi consular and the jedi guardian. The jedi sentinel did not exist until Bioware made the class up in KotOR1. Don't take classes too literally, though. They do not exist in Star Wars canon as such, only as game mechanics. For example, the mechanics imply that jedi guardians have blue sabers, consulars green, and sentinels yellow. But the fact that Luke switched from a blue saber to a green on between "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" has no bearing on his status as a jedi. By the same notion, neither the jedi guardian nor the jedi sentinel will exist in the upcoming "The Old Republic" MMO from Bioware. Jediphile 21:29, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, since the KOTOR comics the classes do exist canonically IU. MauserComlink 21:47, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
- Really? I know that four of the five members of the First Watchcircle were established as "seers" and called "consulars" by Vander in issue 4, but I don't think it ever established the classes as canonical. Jediphile 21:59, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
- Regardless of their status in the KOTOR era, there's no evidence that Jedi classes played any role during the end of the Republic or in Luke's order. In those timeframes, you were just a Jedi. jSarek 21:28, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
