The Prime Jedi was the first member of the Jedi Order. This individual founded the Order[1] around ten thousand years before the Battle of Yavin[source?] on the planet Ahch-To. The first Jedi Temple, which was located on Ahch-To, contained a mosaic of the Prime Jedi in a state of meditation and balance.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
The Prime Jedi first appeared in a mosaic in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi.[2] They were first identified in Pablo Hidalgo's reference book Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary.[1] In Star Wars Legends, the founders of the Jedi Order were the Jedi Masters Cala Brin, Garon Jard, Rajivari and Ters Sendon.[3]
The idea of delving into the origins of the Jedi Order harkens back to the initial plans Star Wars creator George Lucas had for the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, according to original trilogy producer Gary Kurtz.[4]
