This is all news to me so keep this thread going. I am a huge Star Wars fan but this little known information i am unfamiliar with.

Thoth-Amon

[Inquisitor Tremayne]

It's always been my observation and understanding that the apprentice will refer to their teacher as "Master" whether or not they've been given the "official rank" by the Jedi Council. In that respect, "Master" is more of an honorary term used to express respect and acknowledge the relationship.

Likewise, Republic citizens using the term "Master" when referring to Jedi also seems separate from actual title.

True but the council also grants the rank of Master to its Jedi from within.

Probably to the layman any Jedi they encounter is probably a master unless they have been introduced as a padawan.

Let's see... what facts do we know...

-One must be a master in order to sit on the council.
-One must be given the rank of master by the Jedi Council to be considered a master inside the order.
-Jedi Knights can be given padawans
-A Knight is given the rank of master upon training a padawan to knight
-Common citizens outside the order refer to Jedi as Masters regardless of their actual rank within the order

What else?

-A padawan often refers to his teacher as "Master" regardless of his status within the Order
