Summary
Luke Skywalker’s Jedi templemay have actually been one of the most important locations in all ofStar Wars– and was actually the key to Palpatine’s defeat inStar Wars:The Rise of Skywalker, from a certain point of view. One of the key elements ofLuke’s story afterReturn of the Jediis the fact that he began a new training academy andJedi Temple. Luke was a Jedi Master with a thriving academy of students, including his nephew Ben Solo, for years during theNew Republic Era.
But by the time of the sequel trilogy and therise of the First Order, Luke’s temple has already been destroyed, and his students sadly killed. Real-world years later, though, the construction of the first hut in Luke’s academy was surprisingly seen inThe Book of Boba Fett. Soon after that, the novelShadow of the Sithby Adam Christopher revealed thatLuke’s temple was actually located on the ancient Jedi planet Ossus, an incredibly important detail.
All 6 Times Star Wars Has Shown Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple & Their Inconsistencies
Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple has only appeared a handful of times in Star Wars canon - here are all the appearances to date, and how they compare.
Many Of Luke Skywalker’s Sacred Jedi Texts Were Discovered On Ossus
Ossus Originated As An Ancient Jedi Library World
Appearing inStar WarsLegendsfor decades, Ossus was first shown in theFreedon Nadd Uprisingarc of theTales of the Jedicomic series from 1994 as an ancient center of Jedi learning. This has clearly carried over to canon, as this is now the location where Luke Skywalker has found some of the sacred Jedi texts featured inStar Wars:The Last JediandThe Rise of Skywalker.With Luke building his temple on Ossus, he definitely had the opportunity to do archaeological work on Jedi history, learning and collecting artifacts to preserve the Jedi legacy.
The Sacred Jedi Texts Ensured The Jedi Knew About Exegol & Wayfinders
The Rammahgon Contained Sith And Jedi Secrets
Ossus’s most significant contribution to the defeat of Palpatine was contained in the sacred Jedi text known as theRammahgon. TheRammahgonwas a red-bound book written at least partially by the ancient Jedi Kli the Elder, andit contained specific knowledge about the Sith, Exegol, and the Wayfinders that could get someone there. This information proved to be absolutely essential to the pursuit of Exegol, which led to Palpatine’s defeat.
Knowing this, TheRammahgonwas undoubtedly one of the most important of the ancient Jedi texts in all ofStar Wars, and it was actually found on Ossus itself. TheRammahgonwas thought to be lost for thousands of years, but was recovered by Luke while on the ancient Jedi world. It’s kind of beautiful that the survival of the Jedi history contained in the sacred texts inThe Last Jedi, and Luke saving them from his own temple on Ossus, was what eventually led to the defeat of the Sith inStar Warsonce and for all.
