"There is no place more sacred to the Jedi."
―Padawan Ahsoka Tano[2]

The Crystal Cave was located in the Jedi Temple on the planet Ilum. It was a sacred place where Jedi younglings would go find their lightsaber crystals in the ritual known as the Gathering.

This article is a stub about a general location. You can help Wookieepedia by expanding it.

History[]

After Ilum was discovered tens of thousands of years before the Galactic Empire's creation by a Jedi scout, one of the later survey teams ultimately discovered the vast quantity of naturally-forming kyber crystals such as pontite and mephite. The Jedi Order's High Council dispatched scholars, artisans and warriors to secure the planet.[3]

Following the discovery of the cave by the survey teams, which was considered to be the largest and richest cavern complex, the Jedi Council established a massive, baroque temple over the entrance.[3]

By 18 BBY, the Galactic Empire had smashed the waterfall entrance to the cave to gain entry, removing the cliff-side entryway the Jedi had used for generations.[5]

  1. ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the destruction of Starkiller as taking place shortly after the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Therefore, It can be deduced that the Crystal Cave was destroyed by 34 ABY.
