10 More Bizarre Star Wars Moments You Just Accepted

10. Why Do Only Three Jedi Speak On The Council?

First introduced during George Lucas' 1999 return to the galaxy far, far away that was Episode I - The Phantom Menace, the Jedi High Council boasted some of the wisest, most powerful, and iconic Jedi Masters this universe had ever known.

It was in this room that Qui-Gon Jinn attempted to convince the likes of Mace Windu and Yoda to allow him to train a young Anakin Skywalker, and that same 'Chosen One' kicked up a fuss about being put on the council but not being granted the rank of master. But what you probably didn't really take in when sitting through these various exchanges is the fact that, bizarrely, only a select few are seemingly granted the rank of talking masters here.

Now sure, on the small screen, the likes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars did at least make an effort to show that folks outside of Yoda, Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are actually allowed to occasionally open their mouths in this room. But on the big screen? It's just weirdly accepted when watching the prequels that the majority of the people on that council leave all of the jabbering to the big-name Jedi.
