Star Wars: 10 Secrets Of The Jedi Temple You Need To Know
7. There Are Four Jedi Councils, Not One
When one refers to The Council that oversees everything in the Jedi Temple, many will think of Force-users like Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Kit Fisto, and Yoda. After all, these are the Jedi Masters we see discussing important matters like how they intend to expose the Sith Lord or whether to train Anakin Skywalker.
However, this group is merely one of four different Councils residing in the Jedi Temple. Yoda is in charge of a 12-membered company called The Jedi High Council, which deals with governing matters. The Council of First Knowledge oversees the Archives and actively pushes Jedi wisdom. The Council of Reconciliation deals with political matters that have gotten out of hand. The Council of Reassignment assign jobs to young Jedi who were not accepted as Padawan.
The Jedi High Council may not be the only council in the Temple but they are regarded as the primary ruling body of The Order. Even though they are an ally to the Senate, this Council are given free rein and make decisions of the highest order without interference from political figures.
