Temple of Eedit The Temple of Eedit , also known as the Eedit Temple , was a Jedi temple on the jungle planet Devaron . The temple was a place of personal rebirth and fortification for its visitors , drawing upon the vergence in the Force that the temple was built on . The Galactic Republic used it as a base during the Clone Wars , and the temple became a vital outpost in the Republic ' s campaign against the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Layout . Constructed deep within a jungle near the city Ti - karoo on Devaron , the Eedit Temple was an elegant structure that emerged from the tangles of vines and underbrush . The grand promenade , known as the Eedit Road , that led to the temple cut straight through the jungle and up the stately staircase at the temple ' s main door . A relatively small temple compared to the Jedi Order ' s larger facilities , though it borrowed its architectural style from the towers of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Comprised of two dissimilar towers made of gray stone , they were joined at the base . The circular courtyard that was situated adjacent to the temple was a place of meditation , combat training , and study ; a fountain was located at the center of the area . Auxiliary buildings surrounded the towers , as well as statues of ancient Jedi and other symbolism important to the Order . The interior of the towers was spartan and clean . The base of the larger of the two towers was accessed by the main doors at the top of a monumental staircase . Inside was a large entry hall that led off into the heart of the temple facility . Several classrooms , a dining hall , dormitories , and caretakers ' offices were located in the upper levels . An escape passage led from the main hall , beneath the courtyard , and into the jungle beyond . History . Established on the jungle planet Devaron because of its vast number of Force - sensitives and a powerful vergence in the Force , the Jedi Order built the Temple at the site of the vergence as an academy for the Devaronians best suited to join the Jedi . The vergence , which was strongest in the courtyard of the Temple , made it easy to learn new techniques in the Force and to heal the spirit . The light side aspects of the Force were strong here and offered those touched by darkness to feel awash in the light of the Force . By the time of the Clone Wars , the temple was lightly - staffed , with only a single Jedi Master as caretaker with their apprentice to assist them . The Temple was equipped as a surveillance post by the Grand Army of the Republic to assist in the war effort . This made the Temple a target as a military institution by the Confederacy of Independent Systems . On the orders of Count Dooku , Savage Opress attacked the Temple of Eedit , storming up the Eedit Road and killing the caretakers , Master Halsey and Padawan Knox . Abandoned after the attack , the Temple of Eedit was targeted by the Galactic Empire at the conclusion of the war . Employing orbital bombardment , the Imperial Army swept through the ruins on foot , destroying anything of value they could find and installing traps across the facility ' s interior . Most of the walls across the temple ' s interior were marred by blasterfire , and the statues were defaced or toppled . The orbital bombardment had shattered the pinnacle of the main tower , raining rubble and debris down upon the courtyard , completely blocking the main entrance . A giant crater was blown into the entry hall by a well - set bomb , destroying what was ever in the center of the room . The tunnel was largely collapsed , while the surrounding buildings were completely slagged . Pikhron s had come to live in the vicinity , taking refuge in the courtyard from the hunters that stalked them . In 0 ABY Luke Skywalker had visions about the temple , prompting him to seek out the ruins . Training in the Force within the temple ' s courtyard , working with three remotes and using the Force to deflect their blasts . After he had defeated the Emperor and Darth Vader , Luke returned to Devaron to visit the temple once more . Behind the scenes . Within the " Star Wars " Legends continuity , the Republic outpost briefly seen in " Cargo of Doom " and the Temple of Eedit from " Monster " were confirmed to be the same facility . Both locations were derived from the same production artwork , entitled " Devaron Jedi outpost . " However , in official canon , the StarWars . com Databank ' s entry on Devaron indicated that the two locations were separate .
