Lothal Jedi Temple

The Lothal Jedi Temple was an ancient and megalithic structure established and maintained by the Jedi Order prior to 3277 BBY. Located in the northern hemisphere of the planet Lothal in the Outer Rim Territories, it was one of many temples associated with the Jedi throughout the galaxy, and one of the few that was not destroyed by the Galactic Empire. Built into a natural stone spire and the caverns that sprawled out beneath it, the Temple was commissioned by the Jedi due to the vergence found at the site.

It became a place where Jedi Masters would take their Padawans to determine their readiness to become a Jedi. In 4 BBY, Kanan Jarrus brought his Padawan, Ezra Bridger, to the temple several years before the Battle of Yavin as well as bringing Ahsoka Tano at one time. When the Galactic Empire discovered the Temple, it became a site of excavating and research until it was destroyed in 1 BBY. Several years later, Luke Skywalker visited the site of the temple, and although it was gone, he felt its presence through the Force.
