The Jedi High Council, informally referred to as the Jedi Council, was the primary ruling body of the Order. Situated atop the High Council Tower of the Jedi Temple,[2] the Council consisted of twelve Jedi Masters, chaired by a Grand Master,[3] who oversaw and governed the Order as a whole. Though the Order's allegiance was to the Galactic Senate, the Council was given the autonomy to govern Jedi affairs without interference.[4]

Council of First KnowledgeEdit

Convening in the Tower of First Knowledge,[2] the Council oversaw the curriculum of the Temple and the Order's repository of knowledge—the Jedi Archives.[1]
