Summary
- Luke Skywalker's Jedi Temple has been depicted in various ways across different Star Wars stories, including The Book of Boba Fett, LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation special, and LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales.
- The temple's appearance differs in each depiction, with variations in the surrounding terrain, vegetation, and materials used in its construction.
- The temple's destruction by Kylo Ren is shown in flashbacks in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, offering glimpses into its final days before its demise.
Modern Star Wars has only shown Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Temple a few specific times. Return of the Jedi ended on a note of hope as Luke Skywalker vowed to restart the Jedi Order in the New Republic Era. Dialogue in the Star Wars sequel trilogy confirmed Luke gathered a group of students, including his nephew Ben Solo, and began what he calls "a training temple" in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But this was not to last.
As revealed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Luke's temple was destroyed by Ben Solo, now called Kylo Ren. Flashbacks of Luke Skywalker mourning his temple as it's burning to the ground are shown, and this is what pushed Luke into self-imposed exile. With the destruction of the temple happening offscreen before the start of the sequels, it hasn't been heavily featured in many ways. This leaves it up to other, newer Star Wars stories to fill in the gaps, and expand on Luke's Jedi Academy in very different ways. Let's take a look at all of these appearances in chronological order.

The Mandalorian Din Djarin arrives on the planet Ossus, looking for Grogu, who is away and training with Master Skywalker (the planet was unnamed until Aam Christopher's novel Shadow of the Sith, going unnamed in this episode). The Jedi Temple on Ossus is being constructed out of stone by R2-D2 and an army of ant-droids. Luke's sacred Jedi texts can even be seen in the background of the temple's interior. This shows the earliest foundations of the temple and Luke's Order, but the surrounding terrain appears very different from earlier film & comic appearances. There is a lot of bamboo, many trees, and significant forested mountains in the background.
