Jedi High Council (New Jedi Order)

The Jedi High Council, formerly known as the Masters' Council, was the leading body of the New Jedi Order founded by Luke Skywalker. As of 35 ABY, the Masters' Council had formed as an informal body responsible for the leadership of the Order. However, at the conclusion of the Swarm War, Grand Master Skywalker formed an official High Council, from the loose collection of Jedi Masters, that mirrored the Council of the Jedi Order of the Galactic Republic. Both the Masters' Council and its successor consisted of the Order's twelve wisest and most powerful Masters.
