Jedi Council
Encyclopedia : J : JE : JED : Jedi Council
The Jedi High Council is an institution from the Star Wars series of films. The Jedi Council are the strongest members of the Jedi religion and elected to lead the Jedi.
Ancient Jedi Order
The earliest known Jedi Council was around 3,965 BBY. Conversations between Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi imply that there was a Jedi Council preceding the "Jedi Civil War era" council.
During the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, the Jedi High Council included the following members:
- Atris
- Zez-Kai Ell
- Kavar
- Vrook Lamar
- Lonna Vash
Old Jedi Order
The Jedi High Council, during this time, was the group of twelve wise and powerful Jedi Masters elected to guide the Jedi, as well as serve as an advisory body for the Chancellors of the Galactic Republic (a sage governance). The council was made up of five lifetime members (two of them senior), four long-term members, and three limited-term members.
These Jedi presided over the order during its twilight years. This chart does not include Masters Tor Difusal, Jocasta Nu, T'un, and Thame Cerulian, all of whom sat on the council decades before 44 BBY.

Deaths on the Jedi Council
44 to 25 BBY
Tyvokka was killed during the Stark Hyperspace War and Micah Giett was killed during an uprising on Yinchorr. Yarael Poof sacrificed himself to save Coruscant from the Annoo-Dat terrorist General Ashaar Khorda, and Yaddle died saving the population of Mawan from a dihexalon gas weapon launched by Sith cultist Granta Omega.The Clone Wars
The Clone Wars (22-19 BBY) were a terrible time for the galaxy and the Jedi in particular, as several of their greatest were killed over the course of those three bloody years. Coleman Trebor was killed by Jango Fett during the Battle of Geonosis, and Eeth Koth perished when his gunship was shot down during withdrawal from that world. Depa Billaba fell to the dark side on Haruun Kal, and Oppo Rancisis was murdered on the planet Saleucami by the Dark Jedi Sora Bulq. Adi Gallia was killed by General Grievous on Boz Pity. General Grievous slew many Jedi, even the great Even Piell in the Battle of Coruscant.The Jedi Purge
Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Mace Windu were all struck down in battle with Emperor Palpatine. Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader, then led an attack on the Jedi Temple that resulted in Shaak Ti's death. Following the issue of the Emperor's Order 66, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Stass Allie, Aayla Secura and Plo Koon were murdered by their own clone trooper forces on various planets. Obi-Wan Kenobi went into hiding on Tatooine and was killed by Darth Vader nineteen years later. Four years after that, Yoda died on Dagobah at the age of 900. The fate of Master Coleman Kcaj is currently unknown.New Jedi Order
In 28 ABY, Luke Skywalker re-established the Jedi Council as part of his New Jedi Order. The most notable difference between the format of that new council and that of the old is the fact that only half of the council was made up of Jedi, while the other half consisted of politicians. Following the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Jedi withdrew their support from any one political entity and relocated to Ossus, where a full Jedi Council was re-established. As of 35 ABY, the newly established Masters' Council apparently consisted of:
- Cilghal
- Kyp Durron
- Kenth Hamner
- Corran Horn
- Kyle Katarn
- Tresina Lobi
- Octa Ramis
- Saba Sebatyne
- Luke Skywalker
- Mara Skywalker
- Kam Solusar
- Tionne
Enclave councils
Though all Jedi were ultimately answerable to the Jedi Temple's High Council, some individual planets maintained their own lesser councils to oversee the training of Jedi at those worlds' Jedi Enclaves, or praxeums.Almas
