Grand Master

Grand Master or Grandmaster, also known as Grand Jedi Master, was a title generally bestowed on the oldest and wisest Jedi. Whereas the Master of the Order served as leader of the Jedi High Council, the Grand Master was the head of the Jedi Order. The title was shared by Jedi Masters Xo Lahru, Pra-Tre Veter, and Yoda during the High Republic Era. After Veter's capture by the Nihil pirates, Ry Ki-Sakka was appointed in his place, before Veter was ultimately executed by the Nihil. Yoda continued to serve as the Grand Master in the final years of the Galactic Republic, and was one of the few survivors of the Great Jedi Purge that commenced near the end of the Clone Wars.
