The salaries of the Old Republic
I am concerned. The future of the Jedi Order does not look good at all.
According to my sources, Padawans salary is only about $48,000 in a year. Jedi Knight earns some annual $77,000. But here comes the shock... Jedi master only receives $78,000!
Thats 1000$ more in a year... But helluva lot more responsibility!
For comparison, Palpatine gets the average Chancellor salary of $57,000 and Amidala is really tight on money too with anual $30,000.
Dex from episode 2 appears to net $71,000 which is over 2 times the senators wage!
But Jabba is a crime lord and it shows: $99,000 annual income!
Apparently obi Wan has a special condition with $32,000 anual.

Anakin on the other hand makes only $37,000
http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=Anakin&l1=
So either the Jedi Order is screwing the Jedi union wage rates, or there is something bad going on!
Yoda hits the bottom with $31,000 income.

My source is as reliable as it gets:

I demand better wages for the Jedi!

Didn't think a crime lord would be so generous to his underlings as to even out their salaries at the cost of his.

Yeah, but that doesn't really say how the hell they came up with it.

I dont know, but they are consistent....
Padawan gets what Padawan gets, no matter when you will make the query...
Still, I feel compelled to trust a search engine with so much insight.

They do. But it's in Corellain local credits. What with the continuous negative fluctuations in the system, its permanently depreciated in value.

Surely the Jedi got a little spending money for, like, restaurants and stuff. Maybe a movie now and then. Unless the Temple had its own theater. Which I would not put it past them.
