Im reading the star wars novel Labyrinth of Evil. But its in french and i was wondering its maybe an error of translation, but in the book, the rank of Anakin is General... In my head i was sure it was commander. How 2 general can be on the same mission. And anakin joined the council in E3, not before.

Not a translation error -- the same error appears in English! :-) Back in 2005 I read an interview (somewhere) with the author and he said there were some continuity mistakes with ROTS. He said that due to deadlines he had to make some "guesses" and sometimes he guessed wrong. Most of the Jedi were generals in the Clone Wars, I believe, but they were the older Masters. Another mistake was the comment in Chapter One about Anakin being dressed all in black. We now know it was a very dark brown. But I liked the book a lot -- it's been one of my favorites and does tie up a lot of "loose ends" between AOTC and ROTS... ... especially the comment Obi-Wan makes to Anakin in ROTS about saving his life but not counting "that business on Cato Neimoida"... snicker, snicker  |

i know about the black outfit but in french they are saying '' vetu de la couleur de la nuit '' dress like the color of the night. Maybe in dark but not black. That is my own translation

That's a great book, errors not withstanding. Somewhere I read that Masters were Generals, Knights were Colonels and Padawans were Commanders.... don't know if that's "canon" or not...
*Snicker is right, that was sooooo funny...

If i remember right, in the Jedi trials book, Anakin skywalker still a padawan and hes going in mission with Neeja Halcyon whos a knight and the are both called commander. Colonel and major ranks are more comon in normal humans and clones.. If i remember right.

Military and warfare
"Wars not make one great!"
―Yoda[src]
In times of war, especially when Sith forces were involved, Jedi would sometimes assume military ranks and govern armies of Republic military units, as was seen in the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, the New Sith Wars, and the Clone Wars. So Jedi indeed became soldiers, not just keepers of the peace.
"Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him."
"I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi."
―Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin Skywalker[src]
* Jedi Commander – a Padawan serving as a Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic, the Jedi Commander was assigned to a Jedi General until knighted. Once a full Jedi, the Padawan is now referred to as General.
* Jedi General – a Jedi Knight who had been placed in command of a Republic army. Considered a full General.
* Senior Jedi General – a Jedi Master that is not on the Council serving as a general in the Clone Wars. The Senior Jedi General was very experienced in warfare and battle tactics.
* High Jedi General – a member of the Jedi Council serving as a Jedi General during the Clone Wars, the Jedi High General would not only command their own army, but also supervise other Jedi Senior Generals, Jedi Generals and Jedi Commanders. Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu were all notable High Jedi Generals.

I think it depends on who's writing the book... it's never addressed in the movies other than Obi-Wan has the rank of General... so there's no canon answer...

Oh and they are explaining a bit about Dooku and Syfo-Dyas. But something i dont understand. In that book they are saying Darth Tyranus ( Dooku ) just go hirering Jango on Bogg5 but in the game Star wars Bounty hunters Jango Fett wins a contest againts an other Manalorian name Monstross. So whos right? ? |

There is also some discrepancy between the end of this book and the end of the Clone Wars animated series ... specifically what Obi-Wan and Anakin were doing when they learned Palpatine was kidnapped. (Personally I like the LOE version better.)
That's the problem with "fill in" stories in between established story lines (plus the fact that it's all made up anyway).
I'm sure the new Clone Wars series will cause some more of this, but we can enjoy the stories anyway... and besides, we can discuss this endlessly. ;D
