Jedha
Location: Orbit of NaJedha, Jedha System, Terrabe Sector, Freestanding Subsectors,note Mid Rim
Immigrated Species: Humans
Native Fauna: Spamel, Versimillipede, Dune scratcher
"We're going to Jedha. That's a warzone."
—Jyn Erso
The moon of NaJedha, the historical and spiritual significance of the moon led to it becoming a world of worship for those who believed in the Force, and a holy site for pilgrims who sought spiritual guidance, including the Jedi Order — in fact having been an ancient chair for the order in the past. During the reign of the Empire, the moon was extracted for its abundance in kyber crystals, which in turn attracted and provoked the rebel insurgency known as the Partisans led by Saw Gerrera of Onderon. Most of this action would be centralized in the capital city, Jedha City, also known as the Holy City.
- Apocalypse How: A Class 1 example. Despite the Death Star only shooting at minimum power, the superlaser targeting the Holy City of Jedha delivers a huge amount of energy, having penetrated the moon's crust and created a shockwave in its mantle, as the ground is shown peeling off the surface of the moon (which is what would happen if a planet was hit by a large enough impact, and presumably a giant death laser as well). While the moon is miraculously still somewhat habitable after the Battle of Yavin, the geological damage done is permanent and is very noticeable from space, not to mention the potential ecological damage caused by such a disaster.
- Holy City: Jedha is a religious pilgrimage site for many religions that worship the Force and those who pray for the Jedi to return. Naturally, it's occupied by the Empire.
- La Résistance: Many people on Jedha don't take it well that the Empire pillages the holy city's kyber crystals' reserves.
- Power Crystal: One of only four known sources of kyber crystals, along with Ilum, Christophsis and Lothal.
- Rodents of Unusual Size: At the time of the Battle of Jedha in the High Republic era, Jedha City's sewers were infested with dune scratchers, a species of enormous six-eyed rats.
- Wretched Hive: Despite being known as a pilgrimage site, Jedha City is also a hotbed for all sorts of criminal activity, and despite being the closest thing the planet has to an active Jedi presence, the Guardians of the Whills seem more interested in protecting the Kyber Temple and pay no heed to said criminal activity unless it actively threatens them. During the the High Republic era, peace between the various religious groups was incredibly fragile at best, and one of them, the Path of the Open Hand, actively instigates conflict against the Jedi.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After the Imperials are finished mining all of the kyber crystals from Jedha, they use the Death Star to destroy Jedha's largest city.
Jedha clergy
Convocation of the Force
Convocation of the Force
Appearances: The High Republic (2022) | The Battle of Jedha
An advisory board made to promote peace and understanding between the various Force religions based on Jedha during the High Republic era. Represented religions on the Convocation include the Jedi Order, the Disciples of the Whills, the Guardians of the Wills, the Church of the Force, the Matukai, the Fallanassi, the Lonto, and the Sorcerers of Tund.
- Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: They were ostensibly formed with the purpose promoting unity between Force groups, but 150 years before the Great Hyperspace Disaster, the groups that made up the Convocation were in a very fragile peace at best. When the Convocation is first introduced in the comic, two of the representatives are on the verge of killing a Yacombe envoy who was interested in joining on the grounds that they might be a Dark Force user. This was enough to convince the envoy to look elsewhere.
Disciples of the Whills
Disciples of the Whills
The oldest faith active on Jedha. They regularly congregate at the Kyber Temple. Their members include Angber Trel, Killi Gimm, and Silvanie Phest.
- Saintly Church: They run an orphanage near the Kyber Temple and frequently ask for alms.
Guardians of the Whills
Guardians of the Whills
A sect of warriors charged with protecting the Temple of the Whills on Jedha. Known members include Baze Malbus and Chirrut Îmwe.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: They are not naturally Force-sensitive like the Jedi, but through training some of them can gain superhuman fighting skills and perception.
- Energy Bow: Their traditional weapon is the lightbow, which is similar to the bowcaster.
- Heroic Neutral: The Guardians were expelled from the Temple when the Empire took over and looted it for kyber crystals, which is why Chirrut is seen working as a street fortune teller.
- Magical Asian: Chirrut especially fits this trope almost to a T for Jyn Erso, only he references the Force instead of Confucious.
- Police Are Useless: During the High Republic era, many of them seem to be far more interested in protecting the Kyber Temple than addressing major problems on Jedha, making them little more than glorified security guards that turn a blind eye to potential problems outside the Temple, whether it be class disparity, criminal activity, or the more dangerous Force cults (such as the Path of the Open Hand) amassing power in the streets. This is the overall reason Tey Sirrek left them and it takes a real verbal chewing from Tey during the Battle of Jedha to make them realize how far they've fallen and to get them to help the people.
- Staff of Authority: Some members carry a staff topped with a kyber crystal as a symbolic source of inner illumination.
- Warrior Monk: Members are both skilled warriors and highly spiritual.
Brotherhood of the Beatific Countenance

- The Unpronounceable: The High Priest gave up his old name and is only referred to by a wail of a certain pitch.

Keth Cerepath
Keth Cerepath
Species: Human
Voiced by: Brandon McInnis
Appearances: Tales of Enlightenment: New Prospects | The Battle of Jedha
A young adjunct from the Church of the Force that served at the Kyber Temple, who yearned for more in his life and frequented the tapbar Enlightenment to hear stories.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: As someone who perceived himself as little more than a lowly acolyte, Keth wished to do something more meaningful. While the conflict on Jedha allows him to help the Jedi, it comes at the cost of his own life.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He gives his life protecting Silandra Sho from Mytion.
P3- 7 A
P3-7A
Voiced by: Sean Kenin Elias-Reyes
Appearances: The Battle of Jedha | Shield of the Jedi
A droid that belonged to Keth Cerepath, having been saved from scrapping and rebuilt by Bonbraks.
- Ice-Cream Koan: Because he was rebuilt using a vocoder from a scrapped Temple droid, he can say nothing but pre-recorded Kyber Temple scripture. The patrons of Enlightenment got so annoyed by this that Kradon banned the droid from the tapbar. This subverted in that while the koans are all he's capable of saying, there is hidden meaning behind it.
- Religious Robot: Subverted. He only talks like a Temple droid because he was rebuilt with a vocoder from one.
- Silicon Snarker: There is a bit of veiled snark hidden behind some of his pre-recorded koans.

- Skeletons in the Coat Closet: He and many of the Brothers wear the skulls of their dead as masks.
- Voice of the Legion: In The Battle of Jedha audio play, he has a notable reverb in his voice.

- Cybernetics Will Eat Your Soul: They have no free will and are essentially droids.
- Cyborg: They are organic beings with droid brains, effectively making them meat droids instead of conventional cyborgs.

Caysin Bog
Portrayed by: ???
Appearances: Rogue One | Doctor Aphra
A high-gravity humanoid blown apart by the insurgency and pieced back together by a mysterious man called Roofoo. After escaping the destruction of Jedha City, he swore revenge on the man who butchered him, and signed on as hired muscle with Son-tuul Pride to fund his search, entering into a romantic relationship with Tam Posla, an ex-cop-turned-bounty hunter also hunting Roofoo, in the process.
- Battle Couple: He and Posla end up fighting side by side on several occasions during their time with Son-tuul Pride.
- Bury Your Gays: Dies during the infiltration of Hivebase-1, thanks to Dr. Aphra reprogramming his cyberware to force him to walk into the droid prototypes' line of fire.
- Heavyworlder: He is a "high gravity" humanoid.
- Leeroy Jenkins: An unwilling example. Thanks to a secret contingency programmed into his cyberware by Dr. Aphra, he ends up walking right into the firing line of the droid prototypes on Hivebase-1, getting blown to bits a second time.
- Losing Your Head: Unlike some of the other Decraniated (who are only missing the top halves of their heads), he's missing his entire head, with the droid CPU taking up his neck.
- Organ Theft: Doctor Aphra reveals that his body has enough space inside of it to store a bunch of blasters in it like a can,
which means that his organs were removed too. - Revenge: He wants to get back at the people who turned him into what is essentially a walking corpse.
- Unexplained Recovery: As of this writing, it's unknown how he escaped Jedha City before its destruction.

Other residents
High Republic Era
Tey Sirrek
Tey Sirrek
Species: Sephi
Appearances: The High Republic (2022) | Path of Vengeance | The Edge of Balance: Precedentnote | The High Republic (2023)
A Sephi thief and former Guardian of the Whills who was active during the High Republic era.
- Big Damn Heroes: Saves Terec, Ceret and Goonral Monshi from a Nameless while on the planet Kindosorn
- Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Because he isn't a Force user, he's unaffected by the Leveler's hallucinations. While he is able to incapacitate the Leveler and save Vildar's life, he loses all memory of the encounter as a result of using the Hand of Siberus, which would have completely corrupted him had it not been for Yana knocking him out.
- Canon Immigrant: The Sephi species originated in Legends.
- Cassandra Truth: Due to his reputation as a general pest and a disgraced Guardian, nobody seems to believe him when he's caught with a bomb in the Kyber Temple and claims he was trying to disarm it. At best, the Jedi are suspicious of the circumstances in which he was caught (the rest of the Guardians have a bone to pick with him and him being caught with the bomb was too convenient).
- The Cavalry: After he touches a nerve with the Guardians during the Battle of Jedha, he and the Guardians rescue Vildar Mac and the other occupants of the bombed almshouse.
- Cowboy Cop: He was originally a Guardian of the Whills, but the rest of the Guardians took issue with him when he decided to go beyond just protecting the Kyber Temple. He left when he realized the Guardians were worthless for anything other than protecting the Temple.
- Dark Is Not Evil: The fact that he's casually wielding an ancient Sith power gauntlet initially raises some eyebrows from Terec and Ceret, but he also reveals that his relationship with another Jedi has helped him learn to resist the gauntlet's corrupting influence, and now he uses that gauntlet to defend Jedi from monsters that prey on Force users.
- Doomed by Canon: He is one of the few non-Force-sensitive allies of the Jedi to have seen what the Nameless actually look like. However, because of problems with the Hand of Siberus, he loses all memory of the encounter, which is one of many things that leave the Jedi unprepared for the Nameless's return 150 years later.
- Good All Along: He seems to be a thief at first, but is actually investigating the artifact thefts on Jedha.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: He's genuinely seeking to do good in Jedha City, but most see him as little more than a pickpocket and con artist, and the Guardians of the Whills especially don't like him for walking away from them.
- Impossible Thief: He's able to steal Vildar's lightsaber from him without him even sensing it until it's too late.
- Interspecies Romance: After the Battle of Jedha, he and the Kiffar Vildar Mac profess their feelings for each other.
- Knight in Sour Armor: The reason he has a disdain for the Guardians of the Whills is because they were more interested in protecting the temple than the people of Jedha when he served with them. The death of Flim at the hands of Anst Wozo and the Guardians choosing not to seek justice was the final straw for him.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Because he used an ancient Sith power gauntlet to fight off the Great Leveler, he's lost all memory of his encounter with it.
- Like an Old Married Couple: Despite becoming close allies during the Battle of Jedha (and romantic partners after), he and Vildar Mac continue to throw verbal jabs at each other.
- Long-Lived: Sephi have long lives, and when he reappears during Phase III of the High Republic Era, he's at least over 150 years old.
- Lovable Rogue: He's a thief by occupation, but as a former Guardian of the Whills, he's also got a heart of gold.
- Mage Killer: Despite not being Force-sensitive, he claims to know a number of martial arts that can be used to counter Jedi, including Morichro — also known as the Touch of Death — which can stop one's heart. He seems to kill Vildar Mac in the first issue of the Phase II comic with that last move (after Vildar claimed that such a move was a myth); however, it's revealed in the second issue that not only was Vildar actually still alive, what Tey used wasn't actually Morichro, but a Sephi self-defense pheromone.
- Mistaken for Murderer: Vildar and Matthea initially believe he killed V'kara when they find her dead in the Shrine of Sarrav and Tey at the scene. When they meet up with Tey again at the Enlightenment bar, he reveals that not only she was already dead when he got there, she came to him for his help.
- Not Quite Dead: During the brawl inside the Final Protector's vault, it appears to Vildar that Yana had shot Tey. However, it turns out he can use his own pheromones to put himself in a healing trance too, like he did with Oliviah Zeveron earlier.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: What eventually got him disgraced from the Guardians of the Whills was choosing to seek justice for Flim's death on his own terms and killing Anst Wozo in retribution upon leaving.
- Pointy Ears: As a Sephi, he has large elf-like ears, which he likes to joke about himself. In his bickering with Vildar, the latter calls him a Lepi (a species of rabbit people) as an insult.Tey Sirrek: Oooh, Lepi...because of the ears...I see what you did there, although try not to crack that one on Coachelle Prime. They'll shove a space carrot right where the suns don't shine.
- Power Fist: While inside the Final Protector's hidden vault, he uses the Hand of Siberus - an ancient Sith power gauntlet - to fight off the Great Leveler when it attacks Vildar Mac. While succeeds in incapacitating the creature, it briefly corrupted him and caused him to lose his memory of the encounter. He has full ownership of the gauntlet 150 years later, has since learned to resist its corruptive influence, and uses it to kill other Nameless after the Nihil and the Children of the Storm weaponize them en masse.
- The Power of Love: His relationship with Vildar Mac helped him learn to resist the corrupting influence of the Hand of Siberus.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gives Oklane Viss and the other Guardians a real burn when they try to take him back to his cell despite helping them against thieves in the Temple and refusing to help Vildar when he's buried alive in the Path of the Open Hand's almshouse. This manages to get through to them to help Vildar out.Oklane Viss: Our only responsibility is to the Temple.
Tey Sirrek: The Temple? Jedha is burning, Oklane, but I suppose that's all fine and dandy as long as your little statues are safe! You say the Force is with you, but all you care about is your duty. What about the people outside the Temple, Viss? What about your duty to them? You're a Guardian of the Whills, Captain, but what exactly are you guarding? - Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He left the Guardians because he realized they were little more than glorified security guards for one Temple who aren't even interested in protecting Jedha's people. As such, he now decides to be a hero on his own terms.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He seems to be one of Vilmarh Grahrk. Both are criminals who initially have an antagonistic relationship with a brooding Kiffar Jedi before becoming Fireforged Friends who frequently throw jabs at each other. However, while Villie is an unapologetic smuggler known for screwing over almost everyone he's worked with (and even worked for Darth Sidious once), Tey is a simple street thief that left the Guardians of the Whills because he became he disillusioned by how ineffectual they were, but retains his morals all the same.
- The Team Normal: After the Battle of Jedha, Vildar gives him a seat on the Convocation of the Force to represent the interests of non-Force users on Jedha. This is in response to the strained relationship between the Convocation and Jedha's citizens leading into the conflict, which the Path of the Open Hand capitalized on to incite riots.
- Time-Passage Beard: Has grown a white beard within the last 150 years when he reappears in Phase III of the High Republic.
- Tragic Keepsake:
- His Robot Buddy Skoot originally belonged to a street orphan named Flim. He adopted the droid after Flim was murdered by Anst Wozo.
- 150 years after the Battle of Jedha, he's seen carrying around Vildar's lightsaber as a memento.
- The Trickster: He makes a point of messing with Vildar — a Jedi — before and after revealing his true colors, including stopping his heart with a move he claims to be Morichro (which is actually just a less lethal self-defense pheromone) and stealing his lightsaber from him without him even sensing it (so he can use it to barter with an artifact trafficker and get the Jedi to follow him).
- Trickster Mentor: He becomes one to both Terec and Ceret when they fall victim to H'Tar's illusions, helping guide them through the hallucinations in his usual snarky manner and helping reconnect their Force bond.
- We Help the Helpless: He seems like a thief at first, but he's actually trying to help the oppressed when neither the Jedi nor the Guardians of the Whills will.

Appearances: Tales of Enlightenment: New Prospects | The High Republic (2022) | The Battle of Jedha | Path of Vengeance
The owner of the tapbar Enlightenment and an information broker.
- The Bartender: Like many examples of this trope, his position as a bar owner makes him a prolific information broker regarding affairs on Jedha. His bar also happens to attract a lot of seedy types, which he has the Twinkle Sisters to keep in line. However, he's shown fighting with a blaster to keep troublemakers out of Englightenment during the Battle of Jedha.
- Fluffy the Terrible: He has two burly Gloovan bouncers staffing his bar known as the Twinkle Sisters.
- Insectoid Alien: Villarandi look like four-armed humanoid insects.
- Knowledge Broker: He's the most knowledgeable information broker on Jedha during the High Republic era, and many come to him for advice.
- Multi-Armed Multitasking: As a Villarandi, he has four arms.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: His information normally comes at a price, but the first time is always free.
- Serious Business: He takes keeping Enlightenment a neutral ground free from the religious squabbles that plague Jedha very seriously, and will threaten to have even Jedi killed for breaking the peace in his bar. During the Battle of Jedha, he's fighting to keep out all sorts of troublemakers.
- Third-Person Person: He seems to refer himself with third-person pronouns frequently.

NaJedha
Location: Jedha System, Terrabe Sector, Freestanding Subsectors,note Mid Rim
Moons: Jedha
The world that Jedha orbits. After the Death Star rendered Jedha uninhabitable, the remaining members of the Partisans and survivors of the attack joined together and hid out on NaJedha.
- Ambiguous Situation: The main Star Wars comic reveals that its surface is covered in crystals. Like how our Moon was formed from the Earth and thus contains the same material as the Earth, it's possible that Jedha holds an abundance of crystals because this moon formed from NaJedha. Alternatively, this could be because both Jedha and NaJedha were formed from the same material.
