The Jedi Council is a fictional institution from the Star Wars series of films.

During the Old Republic, the Jedi Council was the group of twelve wise and powerful Jedi Masters elected to guide the Jedi, as well as serve as an advisory body for the Chancellor ( a sage governance). The council was made up of five lifetime members, four long-term members, and three limited-term members. During the events of The Phantom Menace, the council consisted of:

Lifetime Members

• Mace Windu
• Yoda
• Oppo Rancisis
• Plo Koon
• Yarael Poof

Long-Term Members

• Eeth Koth
• Even Piell
• Depa Billaba
• Saesee Tiin

Limited-Term Members

• Ki-Adi-Mundi
• Yaddle
• Adi Gallia

By the time of Attack of the Clones, a decade later, Yaddle and Yarael Poof had both died and were replaced by Shaak Ti and Coleman Trebor.

During the Clone Wars, the heavy losses suffered by the Jedi led to further changes in the membership of the Council. Eeth Koth, Depa Billaba, Adi Gallia, Coleman Trebor and Oppo Rancisis were replaced by Agen Kolar, Stass Allie, Kit Fisto, Pablo-Jill and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Earlier members of the Council included Madame Jocasta Nu; Micah Giett , who was replaced by Ki-Adi-Mundi; the Wookiee Tyvokka, who was replaced by Plo Koon and the mysterious Sifo-Dyas.

During the Mandalorian Wars, the Council contained such notables as Vrook and Kavar.
