Jedi Temple central security station/Legends

The Jedi Communication Center was a room located near the base of the High Council Tower at the Jedi Temple, located near one of the Temple’s garages. It housed the Jedi beacon and was maintained by Jedi Knight Lari Oll towards the end of the Clone Wars.

Located off a hall leading to the High Council Tower lobby, the long room was dimly lit, mainly illuminated by the half dozen wall-mounted holoscreens. The four stations within the chamber were each dedicated to a specific purpose. Temple security was monitered by two officers of the Temple Security Force, while Lari Oll maintained watch over the comm board. Another station was dedicated to updating the galaxy holomap in the High Council Spire.



In between two of the stations was an access way to the Jedi beacon. The dim room contained massive banks of information. Separated by diagonal aisles, the computers of the Jedi beacon glowed green in the circular chamber. At the center, the aisles terminated in a open area in which the Grand Master could meditate, summoning the entire order to Coruscant without using the beacon. This was a technique used by Luke Skywalker, though from the Jedi Academy of Ossus.

Master Yoda used this room to try and contact Mace Windu during the Battle of Coruscant but was unsuccessful due to the planet’s emergency shielding that encompassed the Temple Precinct, and the separate shield that covered the Senate District.

During the raid on the Jedi Temple, the communications room was breached, and clone assassins were deployed to guard the communications equipment from any surviving Jedi. It was here that Obi-Wan Kenobi faced the assassins, killing the highly-trained clones in the center of the chamber. Kenobi then proceeded to revert the emergency recall beacon, warning all surviving Jedi of the trap.



This room was reconstructed in the New Jedi Temple and served the same purpose as it did during the time of the Galactic Republic. It was here that Master Luke Skywalker had a graphical interpreter and communications program, provided by Jagged Fel, installed in order to help capture Alema Rar's movement around the Temple and other potential targets around the galaxy
