Jedi beacon



"This is . have been turned against the . Avoid . Avoid detection. Stay strong.."

- Message from Obi-Wan Kenobi on the beacon

The Jedi beacon was a device housed within the that served as a means of contact for all Jedi throughout. Its typical purpose was to be programmed with a signal that could alert all Jedi to return home to Coruscant.

During a lesson at the Jedi Temple, Caleb Dume wondered if it could also be programmed to warn Jedi away from Coruscant. Though some were shocked by this, Obi-Wan Kenobi agreed that there could be unexpected reasons why such a message would be necessary.

As part of the attack on the Jedi Temple, activated the beacon to recall the Jedi to Coruscant. Kenobi, however, altered the transmission to warn the Jedi away. Though it was inevitable that the alteration would eventually be discovered by the clone troopers, at least one Jedi, Dume, heard Kenobi's broadcast and avoided Coruscant.
