Jedi Council Members

Maybe all this people in chair business is just the Jedi having conversations... Anakin sat in a council chair is him having his debate/chat whatever with Yoda. Only issue here (and it's big) is that normally Jedi stand when addressing the council, so unless this is a smaller group of people?

But it has allready been confirmed. he is on the council.

They both will be in and I like it.... seems only fit that the chosen one would get a seat, especially after killing the Sith Sepratist leader, and Obi Wan ... as Wise as master Yoda as strong as master Windu and he Killed a Sith too... seems like he deserves it.

I didn't know it was confirmed 😖

We have a thread about it here: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f38/t309654.html
So lets discuss Anikin on the council there.
And Obi here.

yeah great idea: obi1 is still one of the greatest jedi ever so yeah he does deserve a spot in the council after all he did kill the first sith to re-appear publicly!

and by the way wath makes obi1 so special that he has to be on the council be the begining of ep3???why not when he defeted maul in ep1?

Perhaps he did some more good stuff during the Clone Wars which truly mad him a great Jedi? Or perhaps they wanted him to take care of Anikin before joining the Council.

EDIT: Yey, post number 300.

maybe!!!i guess thats a good theory! 😮‍💨 😮‍💨

obi wan is im pretty sure anakin is not

Obi does distinguish himself as a hero during the Clone Wars, but so does Anakin. Palpatine being the Supreme Chancellor has the power to place orders upon the Jedi Council. I think that Obi-Wan being on the Council gives Palps the power to place Anakin there because of there similar war records.

Eh screw it, they're all gonna die anyway

they may need jedi on council because some have been killed by general grievious.

Merged

Don't you guys think Obi-Wan should've been on the council beforehand? I think Episode II should've had him on a low seat like 10, but by Episode III he's on like 4 or 5. That would've been cool.

His plot line would not allow him to be on the council in EPII. He couldn't have devoted enough time to being a council member. By the time EPIII comes to pass the council will be a mute point anyway. The Jedi will be scattered and few in number.

obi wan definitely should be on the council....anakin i'm not so sure about....the whole point of the dialogue in the anh duel revolved around anakin's jealousy over obi wan having a higher rank in the jedi order, when he clearly viewed himself to be superior....anakin on the council kinda makes a mockery of this....

the thing is, when you imagine lucas sitting down and deciding to include this in the script you realise that there had to have been some point in writing it in, either from a dramatic viewpoint, or something that it adds to the plot....these things don't just happen by accident, without a lot of thought and consideration.....

i was at a loss when i pondered the question here a week or so ago, and this is the best i've managed to come up with in the meantime....

it would give anakin a reason to become more arrogant and cocky, and feel he has the right to challenge obi wan in any argument, it partially explains his feelings of respect and attachment to palpatine in the ot, and it also would add to obi wan's frustration with anakin....as noble a man as he is, it would have to rankle at least a little, seeing that immature little upstart on the council after relatively few years experience....no doubt anakin will also brag his arse off.....
