'''Jedi Commander''' was a rank in the military hierarchy of the [[Grand Army of the Republic]] during the [[Clone Wars]]. Members of the [[Jedi Order]] serving in this position held the rank of [[Padawan]] or, apprentice.

'''Jedi Commander''' was a rank in the [[Grand Army of the Republic]] during the [[Clone Wars]]. While all [[Jedi Master]]s and [[Jedi Knight]]s were given the rank of [[Jedi General]] by edict of [[Supreme Chancellor]] [[Palpatine]], all [[Jedi]] [[Padawan]]s were given the rank of Jedi [[Commander]] in the new army, regardless of whether or not they wished to assume military duties.

==Notable Jedi Commanders==
Formed in [[22 BBY]], the Grand Army consisted of [[clone trooper]]s who were bred to serve the [[Galactic Republic]] and the Jedi Order. Under the overall command of [[Supreme Chancellor]], the Grand Army's [[Order of Battle]] saw members of the Jedi Order placed in leadership positions. The ORBAT saw 80 generals placed in command of [[corps]] (along with a [[Clone Marshal Commander]]) and 320 in command of [[legion]]s (along with a [[Senior Clone Commander]]). There were also ten [[High Jedi General]]s in command of [[Systems Army|systems armies]], and twenty [[Senior Jedi General]]s in command of [[Sector Army|sector armies]]. Padawans were given the rank of [[Jedi Commander]] and put in command of each of the army's 1,280 [[regiment]]s.{{Fact}}

Some Padawans invoked the [[Right of Denial]], a right granted by the [[Jedi High Council]] to refuse to take on a military rank. The High Council did not look fondly on those who shirked their duties to the Republic, requiring them to turn over their [[lightsaber]]s to the [[Coruscant]] [[Jedi Temple]].{{Fact}}

When Supreme Chancellor [[Palpatine]] betrayed the Order at the end of the war by issuing [[Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150|Contingency]] [[Order 66]], most Jedi were caught off guard as their own troopers turned their blasters on them. Nearly every active Jedi, whether serving as a Commander or a General, was cut down by their own troopers in a single day. Those who survived were stripped of their rank and went into hiding, many being hunted down by the newly risen [[Galactic Empire]]'s [[Inquisitorius]].{{Fact}}
