Star Wars Jedi Costume

The Jedi initially formed at approximately the same time as the Old Republic, 25,000 years before the time frame of the movies. However, soon after its formation, several Jedi left the order to follow the path of the Dark Side, the first of many schisms.

The Jedi Order was ruled by a board of 12 members called the Jedi Council, located on the planet of Coruscant before being destroyed by Emperor Palpatine. The council represented a gathering of great minds which acted as a governing body for the order as well as a martial advisory board for the Old Republic Senate.

Becoming a Jedi Knight

Jedi Knight was a rank of Jedi in the Jedi Order, following the title of Padawan and preceding that of Jedi Master. A Padawan would become a Jedi Knight once he or she had passed the Jedi Trials. In theory, it could take a Padawan many years of training under another Jedi Knight or a Jedi Master to achieve this rank (example: Obi-Wan Kenobi spent twelve years under Qui-Gon Jinn before he became a Knight, Anakin Skywalker had trained for almost the same time as his master before he achieved the rank).

Knights were the backbone to the Jedi Order, being the majority. Jedi who held this rank were assigned most of the standard Jedi missions. Because most of the Jedi were of the rank of Knights, the Jedi Order as a whole were often called Jedi Knights. It should be noted as well that many Knights were addressed as "Master," at least by their own apprentices.

Once a Padawan had passed the Jedi Trials, he was knighted by the Jedi Council and commissioned as an active member of the Jedi Order, free to participate in intergalactic peace-keeping, judicial, and diplomatic affairs. Rather than immediately beginning to participate in galactic affairs, a Jedi Knight may also choose to train a new Padawan.

Jedi Knights come in all shapes and sizes, just like we do. We have costumes for the little ones, and even the adults who just act like 'little ones'. You have different styles to choose from, as well as different characters! Do you want to be Anakin Skywalker?

This is the Deluxe Jedi Knight Robe. It's a heavy weave, hooded Jedi robe. This is a perfect addition to any Anakin Skywalker or Jedi costume.

And of course, we have the children's Jedi Knight Halloween Costume.

During the time of the Old Jedi Order, after a Padawan had spent an adequate amount of time learning from their Master, they would undertake the trials of Knighthood. If the Padawan passed the trials they were declared to be a Knight of the Galactic Republic by the Jedi Council.

Have your children passed the test? Well they can't if they don't dress the part! This is what's so great about Halloween. You can act out your favorite scenes of your favorite movies, and what better movie series than the Star Wars Trilogy!

Anakin Skywalker

Ani (which was his nickname given to him by his mother) was a Human Jedi Knight who served the Galactic Republic in its final years, and later became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. He was the son of Shmi Skywalker. Later in his life, he became the secret husband of Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo, and the father of the Jedi Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo.
