The Jedi Temple has not always existed as know it. The original Temple was constructed over an ancient Sith shrine, which itself was built upon a very powerful Force nexus known as the “Sacred Spire.” This natural mountain peak was a sacred place to the native Coruscanti and was encased in a series of huge black stone walls that formed the basis of the first shrine. Today, we will look at some of the lesser known facts about the Jedi Temple and its origins. The Temple was transformed into the Imperial Palace and saw heavy reconstructions as a result, basically only leaving its characteristic spires intact.

With the Declaration of a New Order, the Jedi Order was dissolved and all its assets were seized by the Galactic Empire. The Jedi Temple was the home of the Jedi up until the execution of Order 66, when its occupants were wiped out by Darth Vader and the troopers of the 501st Legion. It was located in the Temple Precinct on Coruscant, where it stood out among the low city blocks of its direct surroundings.


The Jedi Temple served as the headquarters of the Jedi Order for thousands of years, housing important training facilities as well as the chamber of the Jedi Council.
