i have a question

why are apprentices called apprentices that sounds like a very sith term why are they not called padawans like in the star wars movies

Although inspired by SW, this isn't a role-playing group. Rank names are chosen carefully and with much consideration of how they will be viewed by people both inside and outside our community.

This has been discussed a few times previously, hope this is interesting/helpful:
