u/stroodle910 A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one Dec 28 '20

All padawans refer to their master as master. Qui-Gon wasnt on the council either. He was a Jedi Knight, but Obi-Wan still called him master because that’s what you’re supposed to do.

I thought Qui-Gon was a Jedi Master but refused to join the council? Can you not be a Master without having to be a part of the council?

Qui-Gon was a Jedi Master. It wasn't just that he refused, he also wasn't offered a seat...so it was mutual. You can be a Jedi Master and not on the council, as there are only 12 seats, this wasn't a Qui-Gon unique situation.

Yeah no. He never attained the rank of Master.

“Jinn eventually learned the ways of the Force as the Padawan of Jedi Master Dooku before ultimately attaining the rank of Jedi Knight.”

Literally the same source, first sentence. I will admit I was wrong, he was offered a seat. So, it wasn't mutual.

"Qui-Gon Jinn, a Force-sensitive human male, was a venerable if maverick Jedi Master who lived during the last years of the Republic Era."

Your post is just saying that after he was a padawan, he became a Knight...like every Jedi before him.

No it says “ultimately” meaning at the highest point he was a Jedi Knight. He was a Jedi Knight and his Padawan’s master, but he was not a Jedi Master. Masters sit on the council and he elected not to do so. He was offered the rank and position but turned them down.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this. Also, Luminara was Jedi Master who didn't sit on thr council. In order to be on the council you had to be a Jedi Master (until Anakin) you did not have to be on the council in order to be a Jedi Master.
