Summary
- Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple on Ossus held crucial Jedi knowledge that led to Palpatine’s defeat in The Rise of Skywalker.
- Luke’s temple was built on the ancient Jedi planet Ossus, where he found sacred Jedi texts with information on Sith and Exegol.
- The Rammahgon, a red-bound book found on Ossus, contained essential knowledge about the Sith, Exegol, and Wayfinders.
Luke Skywalker’s Jedi temple may have actually been one of the most important locations in all of Star Wars – and was actually the key to Palpatine’s defeat in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, from a certain point of view. One of the key elements of Luke’s story after Return of the Jedi is the fact that he began a new training academy and Jedi Temple. Luke was a Jedi Master with a thriving academy of students, including his nephew Ben Solo, for years during the New Republic Era.
But by the time of the sequel trilogy and the rise of the First Order, Luke’s temple has already been destroyed, and his students sadly killed. Real-world years later, though, the construction of the first hut in Luke’s academy was surprisingly seen in The Book of Boba Fett. Soon after that, the novel Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher revealed that Luke’s temple was actually located on the ancient Jedi planet Ossus, an incredibly important detail.

Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple has only appeared a handful of times in Star Wars canon – here are all the appearances to date, and how they compare.
Many Of Luke Skywalker’s Sacred Jedi Texts Were Discovered On Ossus
Ossus Originated As An Ancient Jedi Library World
Appearing in Star Wars Legends for decades, Ossus was first shown in the Freedon Nadd Uprising arc of the Tales of the Jedi comic series from 1994 as an ancient center of Jedi learning. This has clearly carried over to canon, as this is now the location where Luke Skywalker has found some of the sacred Jedi texts featured in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. With Luke building his temple on Ossus, he definitely had the opportunity to do archaeological work on Jedi history, learning and collecting artifacts to preserve the Jedi legacy.
The Sacred Jedi Texts Ensured The Jedi Knew About Exegol & Wayfinders
The Rammahgon Contained Sith And Jedi Secrets
Ossus’s most significant contribution to the defeat of Palpatine was contained in the sacred Jedi text known as the Rammahgon. The Rammahgon was a red-bound book written at least partially by the ancient Jedi Kli the Elder, and it contained specific knowledge about the Sith, Exegol, and the Wayfinders that could get someone there. This information proved to be absolutely essential to the pursuit of Exegol, which led to Palpatine’s defeat.
Knowing this, The Rammahgon was undoubtedly one of the most important of the ancient Jedi texts in all of Star Wars, and it was actually found on Ossus itself. The Rammahgon was thought to be lost for thousands of years, but was recovered by Luke while on the ancient Jedi world. It’s kind of beautiful that the survival of the Jedi history contained in the sacred texts in The Last Jedi, and Luke saving them from his own temple on Ossus, was what eventually led to the defeat of the Sith in Star Wars once and for all.
