Jedi Dictionary

Padawan
This is a Jedi term for a young student of the Force. During the height of the Old Republic, beings who were strong with the Force were identified at a young age for training, often before their first year of life. Young beings were transported to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where they were brought up to respect the Force and the life it suffuses. Trainees were allowed to train until they were chosen as Padawan learners by a Jedi Master, or until they were thirteen years old. At this time, it was decided that the young student would never have the drive and skills to become a full Jedi Knight, and they were given lesser assignments by the Jedi Council. Each Padawan was distinguished by a short, close-cropped hairstyle which was accented by a thin braid. The braid’s length, together with small beads braided into the hair, denoted the Padawan’s level of training.

Pann
This young Jedi Knight discovered the Codex and discovered some of its uses.

Pic
This Dark Jedi was Gorc's twin, but only in the genetic sense of the word. Where Gorc was a massive humanoid measuring more than two meters in height. Pic was a spindly creature barely over a meter tall. Where Gorc was strong but slow, Pic was quick and agile, prancing around and toying with an opponent until Gorc can step in and deliver a huge blow. When they’re not in battle, Pic usually hangs from Gorc’s shoulders. Gorc and Pic were defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi.

Plett
A Ho'Din Jedi Master from the planet Moltok, he was also a scientist and a botanist. He took up residence on Belsavis about 70 years before Han Solo and Princess went to Belsavis to search for Plett's Well. The Mluki natives said that his ruins indicate that he had been there at least 30 years before that. Plett was rumored to be able to communicate with the animals, and legends say he controlled the weather on Belsavis. He supposedly hid a group of Jedi children in the Plawal rift valley in order to hide them from the Jedi purge.

Plo Koon
This Jedi Master was one of the last members of the Jedi Council. He was present when Anakin Skywalker was first presented to the Council. A Kel Dor, descended from a long line of Jedi Knights, Plo Koon was a close friend of Qui-Gon Jinn. He hoped that the human Jedi Master would someday sit on the Council, but recognized that his friend was much too headstrong to adjust to the Council’s rigors. Being a kel Dor, with enlarged external sensory organs, Plo Koon’s grasp and control of the Force was incredible, and he was known among the Council for his warrior skills.

Post, Avan
This Jedi Master from Chandrila served with distinction during the Clone Wars. Corran Horn discovered Post's image in the bowels of the Galactic Museum, during his escape from the Lusankya facility.

Praxeum
An ancient term meaning "school", used by Luke to describe his Jedi Academy. It was first used in this way by an ancient Jedi named Karena, who used it to infer the 'distillation of learning combined with action'.
