The Jedi Temple Public Entrance was the only area of the Temple citizens were admitted into. Located in the Reassignment quarter, this entry way resembled the main entrance, though it did not make use of the grand pylons that the formal entrance had. As the rear entrance, it was closest to the edge of the Temple Precinct, overlooking the great crevice separating the area from other buildings.
During the Separatist Crisis a major public outburst in response to Jonava Billane's claims regarding the Order's way of inducting their members. Begging for public help as she demanded her 'kidnapped' daughter's return, she inspired a group of university students to march on the Temple. With preprogrammed graffiti-bombs and cries of popular People's Inquest slogans, they managed to breach the Second Atrium. As Padawans tried to calm the students, Masters Koon and Mundi quickly disposed of the marchers with a Jedi mind trick.
During the raid on the Temple, this entry way was greatly scarred, most likely because it was the most familiar to the public. Clone troopers burned Jedi corpses in front of the constant throng of onlookers after the Temple was completely seized.
