"The water was cool and green. Light trickled down and made shifting patterns on the bottom. Ripples of gentle waves were formed from the force of the waterfall hitting the surface high above."

―Unknown^[src]

The Room of a Thousand Fountains was a gigantic area located at the base of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It had waterfalls and huge amounts of flora (including Hylaian marsh bamboo), meditative areas, pottery, and stone walkways.

"Troubled you are, if the garden you seek."

―Yoda to Qui-Gon Jinn^[src]

Following the Jedi Civil War, its waters fell still for a time in reverence to the Jedi who had died or fallen to the dark side of the Force.

The enormous green house occupied seven stories of the High Council quarter. Winding paths from the main entrance took a visiting Jedi through the foliage where they were encouraged to meditate. Fountains were hidden amongst the bushes and exotic greenery, and some were displayed brilliantly in the middle of the stone walk. The Jedi High Council sometimes used it as a meeting place, due to its peacefulness and serenity, such as when they met to discuss the actions of the thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi. Serving as a meditative retreat, it was also used as a recovery spot for injured Jedi because of its calming effects.

At the time that Kenobi’s generation was being trained, it was a common activity for Obi-Wan Kenobi and classmate Bant Eerin to swim in between classes. It was at this time in history when Bruck Chun, a fellow apprentice fell under the influence of Dark Jedi Xanatos. In an attempt to aid in the Dark Jedi’s escape flight from the Temple, Bruck captured Bant and took her into the pipes below the great waterfalls and held her prisoner. After Obi-Wan Kenobi rescued her, he entered into a fight with Bruck atop the waterfalls. Locked in combat, Bruck accidentally slipped off the cliff and broke his neck on the ground below.

Cin Drallig duels Darth Vader in the Room of a Thousand Fountains.

After the Temple was attacked by Darth Vader and the 501st Legion in 19 BBY, this room was left in ruin. It is here that a group of Padawans, led by Jedi Master Cin Drallig held off against the ensuing attack. It is also where they fell.

By 40 ABY, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was reconstructed by the Galactic Alliance. Jacen Solo visited this room and flow-walked to the past in order to witness his grandfather in the act of slaying younglings. Solo would later bring Lumiya here to test her abilities to hide from the Jedi, and to keep her emotions for Luke quelled.
