Room of a Thousand Fountains / Legends The Room of a Thousand Fountains was a large greenhouse located at the base of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Containing waterfalls and huge amounts of flora , meditative areas , pottery , and stone walkways , the chamber served as a meditative retreat for the members of the Jedi Order while staying in the Temple . Though it was destroyed in 19 BBY , the chamber was rebuilt in the new Jedi Temple circa 35 ABY . History . Having lost the Great Jedi Library of Ossus , the Jedi Order relocated to the city planet Coruscant where the Four Masters had begun to build a Temple that would expand , be destroyed and then rebuilt over the millennia . In all its incarnations it remained largely the same , serving the Order as a retreat from the cityscape of Coruscant and a place to be close to nature . While the Jedi High Council stayed neutral during the Mandalorian Wars , the Order could not help but defend themselves during the Jedi Civil War . With many casualties , the Jedi could not hold the Temple as the Sith Triumvirate began the Jedi Purge of 3954 BBY . With many of the members of the Order in hiding , the fountains all fell silent in reverence to the fallen and hunted Jedi . Though reoccupied shortly after the Purge ' s end , the Temple would fall three centuries later to the resurgent Sith Empire during the Sacking of Coruscant . The Fountain Room was most likely destroyed during the bombing of the complex . Eventually having been rebuilt , the Fountain Room remained in use during the Golden Age of the Old Republic . In 44 BBY , the Room of a Thousand Fountains was the location of several incidents . Unbeknownst to the former Jedi Padawan Xanatos , now dubbed a Dark Jedi , had infiltrated the Temple . Having committed a series of robberies at the Temple with the help of Padawan Bruck Chun , Xanatos began to escalate his attacks . In the early morning , as Grand Master Yoda was crossing a bridge in the room , Xanatos detonated a bomb meant to kill the ancient Master . Surviving the attack , Yoda informed the High Council and the Temple went on high alert . While the Jedi were attempting to discover the intruder , Padawan Chun kidnapped fellow student Bant Eerin , and chained her to the floor of the waterfall pool . Having discovered Chun ' s treachery , Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi located Eerin and rescued her from drowning . Revealing himself , Chun attacked Kenobi and forced him to the top of the waterfall . While defending himself , Kenobi managed to throw Chun off balance , sending the fallen Padawan over the edge to plummet to his death . While Xanatos fled , the debacle in the Temple ended with only one casualty . Over the next few decades , the Fountain Room was host to many a discussion by the High Council . During the tragedy that was the Clone Wars , Master Yoda met here with Maks Leem to discuss how the Order had strayed from its path , reflecting on the beauty of the room and how the Temple should have been built on a jungle planet . During the final days of the Clone Wars , the High Council discovered that the Dark Lord of the Sith they had been hunting was in fact Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Moving to arrest him a group of Masters led by Mace Windu left the Temple , leaving Master Shaak Ti and Gatemaster Jurokk in charge of the Temple ' s defenses . While preparing for a potential fight , Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig took a group of Padawans to the room and began running trough lightsaber combat exercises . With Windu having failed to kill the Sith , was issued to the Grand Army of the Republic . Led by Darth Vader , the 501st Legion marched into the Temple and began to slaughter all the Jedi there . As troopers poured into the Room of a Thousand Fountains , Drallig and his students , ranging from ages four to seventeen , began to deflect their shots . As hard as Drallig and the older students tried , they could not block all the shots and the younger students began to fall . Instructing the students to flee , Drallig and his loyal students charged the line of troopers and were able to push them back . Their victory was short lived as Darth Vader entered the fight and quickly slew Padawans Whie Malreaux and Bene . As more and more Knights and Padawans fell , Drallig entered into a duel with Vader , fighting until a lightsaber strike to the shoulder defeated him . In the days following the Temple ' s capture by the Galactic Empire , Masters Yoda and Kenobi broke in and began searching for answers . Making their way to the Room of a Thousand Fountains , the two crept through the burnt shrubbery and foggy air to find Drallig and his apprentices slain on the stone and dirt floor . In the distance , clone troopers were also sifting through the dead , recording the names of the dead , and then burning their bodies on the steps of the Temple ' s public entrance . Over the next few months , Ferus Olin would also break into the Temple in search of a rumored Jedi prison . While fleeing pursuing troopers , Olin ran through the Fountain room , noting the dried river beds amongst the dead plants . Leaping around the inactive waterfall and through fetid water , Olin escaped the chamber through the ruined ceiling ' s catwalk system . While the Temple managed to largely survive the Galactic Civil War , even at one point being lightly reoccupied , the complex was completely ruined during the Yuuzhan Vong War . It would be several years until the Chief of State of the newly founded Galactic Federation of Free Alliances would order the rebuilding of the Temple . Erected by the Reconstruction Authority , the Room of a Thousand Fountains was rebuilt in accordance to a specific request by Grand Master Luke Skywalker , the founder of the new Jedi Order . This request came after having seen mention of the room in documents found in the recovered Jedi Archives . The new Temple would eventually be finished and re - inhabited , the Fountain Room once again housing exotic planets and flowing waters . In 40 ABY , the Fountain room would play host to the disguised Lumiya , Dark Lady of the Sith . Led into the Temple by Knight Jacen Solo , the Sith was able to convince Solo of her level - headedness and her ability to train him to become a Sith himself without letting her hate of the Jedi get the better of her . Earlier that same year , Solo had flow - walked back in time to the Fountain room as it had stood in the old Temple . Through the eye of time Solo witnessed his grandfather , Darth Vader , slay Drallig and his students . Through this , he saw the faulty thinking of Vader and pledged to be a better Sith Lord . As the Jedi were blamed for failure to prevent the Second Galactic Civil War , the Interim Grand Master Kenth Hamner met with Knight Leia Organa Solo in this chamber . Organa Solo had become increasingly disobedient following the exile of her brother , Grand Master Skywalker , and required a reprimand by Hamner . Layout . Located at the base of the Jedi Temple ' s northwestern side , this seven story tall green house was one of the Temple ' s major focal points . The main entrance to the chamber consisted a short passage behind huge wooden doors , emptying onto a platform from which several stone and dirt paths diverged . The winding paths cut through potted plants and large displays of exotic foliage from across the galaxy . Little bridges crossed streams that flowed from unseen sources . Benches lined the paths , encouraging meditation and reflection . Fountains could be heard trickling from anywhere in the chamber , along with the roar of the waterfall at the room ' s center . Some fountains were concealed by the shrubbery , but others were brilliantly displayed in the center of stone walkways . Along with its uses for meditation some Jedi came here for lightsaber practice ; the Jedi Councils sometimes met in the chamber due to its peacefulness and serenity . The room served not only as a place of beauty , but also a display room for the tokens of thanks and appreciation given to the Temple by planetary governments over the history of the Republic . Gifts in the form of foreign flora were often sent to the Order and placed in the chamber . Among the collection was a stand of hylaian marsh bamboo , assari trees , and a bhansgrek bush grove . Beside the beauty of the gardens , the chamber also was home to a technological wonder . In the rafters of the room was a large collection of lighting banks that disguised the ceiling as an outdoor sky . The combination of light and canvas completed the illusion that gave the room its feel of a completely separate environment from that of Coruscant . Beyond the canvas was a system of catwalks and ramps which allowed the Temple employee s and servicemen to move about unseen amongst the lighting and atmospheric control banks . After Operation : Knightfall , the fabric was left hanging in tatters , with the catwalks broken free and hanging precariously down into the open area above the destroyed waterfalls .
