Talk:Jedi Temple

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost certain that several camera shots in ROTS heavily imply that the Council chamber is in the centre tower. Is this right? --Fade 17:43, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It isn't, AOTC and TPM, and ROTS all show it in one of the ancillary towers. The interior of the central tower has not been seen, to my knowledge.--Eion 18:49, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm, looking over a script, I'm pretty sure it showed the shot of the central tower before the scene with Mace and Anakin talking to some hologrammatic Jedi masters before Cody appears to say Obi-Wan has made contact with Greivous. Never mind what I said before, then. --Fade 18:54, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, the establishing shot makes it very clear that it's the center tower. After Cody interrupts with his report, Mace mentions that the Jedi Council may need to take over the Senate. - Austicke 19:13, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * That's in the Jedi war room, located in the central tower. That is, I think, the only time we've seen the interior of that spire - Kwenn

Hi, I agree with Austicke, Eion and Kwenn. The upper levels of the inside of the Temple Spire or central tower is seen for the first time in ROTS with the War Room. A piece of Ryan Church's concept art showing the Temple Spire war room can be seen in "The Making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith" on page 179. Near the base of the central spire is, I think the site of flight deck for Jedi Starfighters/ Gunships. From "Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones," p.12, the distinctive circular protuberances can be seen to house the Jedi Starfighters. One wonders were one would find a place to undertake meditation with the bustle of a war room and starfighters taking off under your feet....(See "Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I", p.37 and I am a Jedi Apprentice," p.3 on the meditative aspects of the central Temple Spire.)--JohnSWW 03:27, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

According to the Power of the Jedi sourcebook, the Jedi Council Spire is the southwestern tower.

Dark Nest info
'''Like the rest of Coruscant the temple will lay in ruin for several years. No attempt has been made by the New Republic to re-construct the temple as the Jedi Order has it's base of operations on Yavin IV after the fall of the Empire. It will forever remain a symbol of the oppression of the dark side and a memorial to the Jedi of old.'''.

I'm sure that's incorrect, as the Dark Nest speaks of a temple on Coruscant. Can someone familiar with the post-NJO books please fix this? QuentinGeorge 06:29, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * Technically, the New Republic doesn't rebuild the Temple; a new version is constructed atop the ruins of the old Temple by the Galactic Alliance, following the Yuuzhan Vong war. In Dark Nest, it's known simply as the 'Jedi Temple' - Kwenn

Incredible Locations: Revenge of the Sith

 * This work seems to have a lot of new info on the history of the Temple. Anyone have it and want to add it to the article? QuentinGeorge 09:30, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)

New Category?

 * Could we have a separate category for the locations found within the Jedi Temple? There seem to be a lot of different chambers and rooms, and the Coruscant locations cat is already very full - Kwenn

First appearance
Isn't its first appearance TPM? I thought it wasn't included in ROTJ until the DVD version, not the special edition. Kuralyov 06:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Why does the Jedi Temple still exist in special edition ROTJ?
You would think that Palpatine, a devoted Sith, would order the Jedi Temple torn down, but nope, he kept the building standing and it is STILL POWERED AND LIGHTED!!! in 4 A.B.Y. My, my, Lucasfilm tries to be so correct in their special special edition that they have things that don't make sense, besides, the Temple was blasted to hell by clone troopers, and I doubt Palpatine would ever be willing to repair it.
 * It is more of a triumph for Sidious over the Jedi if he converts their temple for his own use. QuentinGeorge 22:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The Sith using the Jedi Temple...the place Sith like Darth Vader would consider a "place of evil". Palpatine would probably leave the ruins there as a reminder of the "scourge of the Jedi", I assume the only reason it would be powered was if it served the purpose as a museum to portray anti-Jedi propaganda, just as Germany still has the Nuremberg Nazi stadium still standing to remind people of the true evil of the Nazi regime.
 * In at least one comic (SW:Infinites), the temple was used as an Imperial Palace as late as the Battle of Yavin, so it is conceivable that it was used in the normal storyline for a similar purpose. What better demonstration of the supplanting of the Sith for the Jedi’s as “protectors of the Galaxy” than by occupying their temple.--Eion 02:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Legacy Era Temple
Should we make a new article specifically for the Ossan Temple that appears in the Legacy Comics? It's rather different, in history, architecture, and place, so I would say it is a good idea. Also, is the temple we see in the Legacy Comics (Pyramid with platforms on top) the same one that Luke already has in DN? --Sauron18 13:20 07 June 2006
 * Does Legacy provide a specific name for this Temple? - Kwenn 18:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
