About Ezra, Kanan "officially" accepts him as his Jedi padawan and decides to train him, so he has the Jedi tag.

About Luke, if I remember correctly, Vader tells him during their fight on Bespin that the Force is strong with him, but he is not a Jedi yet.
That would explain why no Jedi tag I guess (and I don't recall Yoda calling/making him "officially" a Jedi padawan actually).

Thank you for explaining the logic behind the absence of the Jedi tag from CLS, but I remain somewhat confused...

On Hoth, when Ben appears to Luke, he instructs Luke to go to Dagobah where he will receive training from Yoda (sorry, the exact wording of the conversation escapes me at the moment). On Dagobah, initially Yoda refuses to train Luke, but Obi-Wan convinces him ("Was I any different when you trained me?") and Luke continues with his training.

So Luke was under instruction from both Ben in A New Hope and now from Yoda in Empire, and yes, when he faced Vader on Bespin, he was not yet a Jedi. On Bespin, Luke had not yet faced any Jedi Trials (Vader was his Trial) but he had still received the Jedi training (again like Ezra)...so CLS has not been given the Jedi tag because neither Ben nor Yoda officially called him a Jedi/Padawan even though they both accepted him as their apprentice and trained him?

I hope you'll understand my confusion...this all seems like an awful lot of semantics for a game and I would still someday like to hear what the devs reasoning was...unless it is simply to make a powerful faction even stronger? That simply does not seem like a good enough reason.

Well, whatever anyway. All of this is just my opinion. I still don't get it but I'm still looking forward to the release of Commander Luke Skywalker, and he'll be going into my Jedi Arena squad.
