Temple employee The Temple employees were citizens of the Galactic Republic who were employed by the Jedi Order to maintain the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . History . Old Jedi Order . The Temple was a vast complex that served as the Jedi Order ' s main hub for training of students and boarding for knights . As such , it was in constant need of maintenance and upkeep . Within the Temple Precinct , offices were held where Jedi were assigned to hire and direct non - Jedi in cleaning and maintaining the Temple ' s large collection of artifacts under the authority of the Council of Reassignment . Jedi would hire supervisors to watch and instruct these workers . All jobs were divided into different groups . Maintenance , technicians , caretakers , and security , were some of the different factions . Maintenance workers were occupied with making sure that all doors , turbolifts , and droids were operational . A fleet of maintenance droids were kept within the Temple and were deployed to do basic checks and repairs . Technicians were employed mainly to focus on the electric , temperature , and lighting aspects of Temple life . There was also a subdivision focused on the upkeep of starfighters and transports with in the Temple ' s hangars . Caretakers were tasked with polishing statues , buffing marble , dusting holobooks , and other tasks to beautify the Temple . A group of droids were also on hand to assist with these tasks . Non - Forceful members of the Temple Security Force worked closely with the Jedi brute s and snipers to defend the Temple from intruders . Maintenance corridors ran along the main halls in order for workers to move about unseen . Undercoated , sparsely lit halls , with storage crates piled against the walls created a dismal and out of place appearance . Laundry chutes led to the automated laundry facilities that were placed throughout the Temple behind the hall ' s façade . Rumor among Jedi Initiate s was it was impossible to descend through a chute , though they never claimed to know exactly how this was prevented . During the final decades of the Republic , Lorn Pavan worked as a Jedi maintenance being until he was forced to resign when he attempted to make contact with his son Jax Pavan , who was undergoing training in the Temple ' s academy . Additionally , the Jinzler family was employed within the Temple halls , as their daughter was also a member of the Order . When the Clone Wars erupted in 22 BBY , public opinion turned on the Jedi and security on the Temple was increased . When the Temple was bombed during the war , several mechanics were killed including demolitions expert Jackar Bowmani . During at the close of the war , the Grand Army of the Republic entered the Temple and began to slaughter its occupants both Jedi and their aide - de - camps alike . Those employees who escaped went on to help in the underground organization known as Whiplash , an anti - Imperial group bent on dismantling the Empire and restoring the Republic . New Jedi Order . Several years after the fall of the Galactic Empire , the New Jedi Order once again employed citizens to maintain the new Jedi Temple and the Ossus Academy . When both groups were evacuated during Darth Caedus ' s reign , the caretakers fled with the Jedi to help maintain secrecy .
