The '''Jedi Council''' is a [[fictional]] institution from the [[Star Wars]] series of films.
{{Redirect category shell|1=
During the [[Old Republic]], the '''Jedi Council''' was the group of twelve wise and powerful [[Jedi Master]]s elected to guide the [[Jedi]], as well as serve as an advisory body for the Supreme Chancellor (a sage governance). The council was made up of six lifetime members, five long-term members, and three limited-term members.

The earliest known Jedi Council governed during the [[Mandalorian War]]s and included of the following members:
}}
*[[Atris]]
*[[Zez-Kai Ell]]
*[[Kavar]]
*[[Vrook Lamar]]
*[[Lonna Vash]]
Shortly before the events of ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', the council consisted of:
'''''Lifetime Members'''''
*[[Yarael Poof]]
*[[Oppo Rancisis]]
*[[Plo Koon]
*[[Tyvokka]]
*[[Mace Windu]]
*[[Yoda]]
'''''Long-Term Members'''''
*[[Depa Billaba]]
*[[Eeth Koth]]
*[[Even Piell]]
*[[Ki-Adi-Mundi]]
*[[Saesee Tiin]]
'''''Limited-Term Members'''''
*[[Adi Gallia]]
*[[Micah Giett]]
*[[Yaddle]]
By ''The Phantom Menace'', Tyvokka had been killed during the [[Stark Hyperspace War]] and replaced with [[Plo Koon]], and Micah Giett had been killed during an uprising on Yinchor and replaced with [[Ki-Adi-Mundi]].
By the time of ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', a decade later, [[Yarael Poof]] had sacrificed himself to save [[Coruscant]] from the [[Annoo-Dat]] terrorist General Ashaar Khorda and [[Yaddle]] had died saving the population of [[Mawan]] from a dihexalon gas weapon launched by [[Sith]] cultist [[Granta Omega]]. They were replaced by [[Coleman Trebor]] and [[Shaak Ti]], respectively.
During the [[Clone Wars]], the heavy losses suffered by the Jedi led to further changes in the membership of the council. [[Coleman Trebor]] was killed by [[Jango Fett]] during the [[Battle of Geonosis]], and [[Eeth Koth]] perished when his gunship was shot down during withdrawal from that world. They were replaced by [[Kit Fisto]] and [[Agen Kolar]]. [[Depa Billaba]] fell to the dark side on [[Haruun Kal]], and [[Oppo Rancisis]] was murdered by Dark Jedi [[Sora Bulq]] on the planet [[Saleucami]]. Towards the end of the war, [[Adi Gallia]] was killed by the fearsome [[General Grievous]]. These three were replaced with [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]], [[Pablo-Jill]], and [[Stass Allie]]. [[Chancellor Palpatine]] appointed [[Anakin Skywalker]] as his representative on the Jedi Council during ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''. The council approved his appointment, but refused to grant Anakin the rank of Jedi Master.
This thirteen-member Jedi Council proved to be the last of the Old Republic. [[Kit Fisto]], [[Agen Kolar]], [[Saesee Tiin]], and [[Mace Windu]] were all struck down in battle with Emperor [[Palpatine]]. [[Anakin Skywalker]] fell to the dark side and became [[Darth Vader]], then led an attack on the [[Jedi Temple]] that resulted in [[Shaak Ti]]'s death. Following the issue of the Emperor's [[Order 66]], [[Ki-Adi-Mundi]], [[Stass Allie]], and [[Plo Koon]] were murdered by their own [[clone trooper]] forces on various planets. [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] went into hiding on [[Tatooine]] and was killed by Darth Vader nineteen years later. Four years after that, [[Yoda]] passed away on [[Dagobah]] at the age of 900.
28 [[ABY]], [[Luke Skywalker]] re-established the Jedi Council as part of his [[new Jedi Order]]. Most notable difference between the format of the new council and that of the old is the fact that only half of the council is made up of Jedi, while the other half consists of politicians. The council members of the new Jedi Order currently include:
*[[Cilghal]]
*[[Kyp Durron]]
*[[Kenth Hamner]]
*[[Tresina Lobi]]
*[[Saba Sebatyne]]
*[[Luke Skywalker]]
