Four Masters

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Sculptures of the Four Masters are carved into the massive pylons of the Jedi Temple.

The Four Masters were the four Jedi Masters who founded the Jedi Temple on Coruscant around 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. The "Four Masters" are thought to be survivors of the Jedi Civil War.^[1]

[edit] History

The Four Masters built the new Temple, which replaced the one lost in the devastation of Ossus, constructed around a natural spire rising from Coruscant's cityscape, which grew over the millennia into a large complex serving as the central headquarters of the Jedi Order.

Sculptures of these individuals were rendered as bas-reliefs into massive pylons which were displayed at the formal entrance to the Temple beyond the statues of two Warrior Masters and two Sage Masters. The Processional Way, leading through the Temple Precinct to the main stair, terminated under these great pylons.
