The Ahch-To Jedi Temple, also known as the First Jedi Temple, is a significant location in the Star Wars universe, playing a key role in the journey of Rey and the narrative of the sequel trilogy. The temple was founded by the first Jedi Temple caretakers, a group of non-Force-sensitive beings who were charged with maintaining the temple and its ancient artefacts.
The Caretakers
The Lanai were a group of humanoid creatures who were native to Ahch-To. They were not Force-sensitive themselves, but they recognized the importance of the Jedi and their artefacts, and devoted themselves to protecting and maintaining the temple.
Lanai females would become Caretakers, who were skilled craftspeople and worked to preserve the temple and its artefacts for thousands of years. They lived a simple and secluded life, rarely interacting with outsiders and dedicated to their duty to protect the Jedi legacy.
The Founding of the Ahch-To Jedi Temple
The founding of the Ahch-To Jedi Temple is shrouded in mystery and legend, but it is believed to have been established by the first Jedi who arrived on the planet. The temple was built to serve as a place of study and contemplation for the Jedi, and to house their most sacred artifacts.
The Jedi and the caretakers had a close relationship, with the caretakers serving as guardians of the temple and its secrets. Over time, the caretakers came to view the temple as their own, and devoted themselves to its preservation and protection.
The Legacy of the Ahch-To Jedi Temple
The Ahch-To Jedi Temple has a rich and complex history, spanning thousands of years and playing a pivotal role in the history of the Jedi Order. It was the site of many significant events, including the training of Jedi students and the housing of important artefacts such as the ancient Jedi texts.
Despite its importance, the Ahch-To Jedi Temple was largely unknown to the wider galaxy until the arrival of Rey and Luke Skywalker. Its secluded location and the dedication of the caretakers helped to keep it hidden and preserved for thousands of years.
