Jedi High Council (Earth-2042)

"The Council will act as they deem necessary."

- Mace Windu

The Jedi High Council, simply known as the Jedi Council, was the ruling body of the Jedi Order. Situated in one of the four towers of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Council consisted of twelve Jedi Masters who oversaw and governed the Order as a whole. Although the Jedi supported the Galactic Republic and swore allegiance to its government, the Galactic Senate and its military, the Galactic Republic Space Command, the Council possessed the autonomy to govern the affairs of the Order without interference from the political establishment. The Order's independence was fiercely protected by Mace Windu, the Master of the Order and a member of the Council during the latter years of the Republic. Notwithstanding their relationship with the Senate, the Council was largely distrustful of politicians.
