Jedi Temple Lake Level

The Lake Level of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was located near the base of the complex. In its center, was a large lake, from which it earned its name. It was very close to the base of the Force nexus and the mountain which contained it.

The Lake Level contained a large lake where Padawans came in-between classes to swim or relax. The ceiling was covered in light-banks, used to create the illusion of the outdoor sky. The lake was known to look as if one were walking on the planet’s surface. Shrubs and trees were scattered about the landscape, all of them tended to by the Temple Caretakers.

During the Incident at the Jedi Temple, a turbolift that ran horizontally across the room above the light-banks was involved in a terrible accident. Several younglings and their minder Ali-Alann were traveling to the Temple Rectory, when the sabotaged shaft fell apart; leaving the car dangling over the lake. If it hadn’t been for Obi-Wan Kenobi’s quick actions and the swift arrival of the Jedi Council members, the lift would have been doomed.

After the Temple was attacked by Darth Vader and the 501st Legion in 19 BBY, this room was left in ruin. It would come to be restored by the New Jedi Order when the Temple was rebuilt.
