Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'Jedi' (a fictional Force-using warrior) with 'master' (an expert or highly skilled person): a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer 'a highly skilled/wise Jedi'. The noun-combining pattern 'X master' is cross-linguistically common and supports the straightforward, compositional figurative extension to mean someone extremely skilled.
Etymology
Jedi Master comes from the Star Wars stories, where a Jedi is a calm protector with a special power called the Force and a Master is a very skilled teacher who guides others. That's why people call a very skilled or wise person a Jedi Master, meaning 'an expert or leader'.
