RotS: Jedi War Council

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Chapter XXI: Jedi War Council

Jedi War Council
This is the Jedi war room, located within the central Temple Spire. This scene originally took place in Yoda's chamber, and was comprised of a discussion between Mace, Yoda and Obi-Wan concerning the "plot to destroy the Jedi". This is one of the deleted scenes found on the Episode III DVD. Shots set in the war room were identified with a "CJW" prefix during post-production.

The tactical display table is projecting a holographic representation of a Clone Wars battle. Visible Republic units are clone troopers, All Terrain Recon Transports and Infantry Support Platforms, while the Separatists are fielding battle droids and dwarf spider droids.

Alongside the holograms of Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Cody is Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, an Expanded Universe character first seen in Republic: Twilight and given a brief role in Episode II. She was intended to have a line of dialogue here: "I'm sorry I'm late, Master Windu. Would you like my report?" (changed from an earlier line, "You asked for my report, Master Windu?", itself intended to be accompanied by another line). At one stage, she was also set to deliver lines prior to her death on Felucia.

The ComScan screens on the outer edges of the war room are reminiscient of those to be seen decades later in Rebel Alliance command rooms on Yavin IV and Hoth.
