Current canon tells us the “first” Jedi Temple on Ahch-To was built tens of thousands of years before the prequels.īut Phee suggests an entirely different status quo before all that. So we can assume that some of the Jedi backstories from Legends still count, at least when it comes to the timeframe we’re dealing with. But in 2016, Doctor Aphra made the planet Tython canon, and then in 2020 the planet appeared in The Mandalorian Season 2. Derived from Dark Horse comics and novels, the story of the Je’daii is not currently canon. What is older than the Jedi? In the old Legends canon, the Jedi arose from an even older sect called “Je’daii,” who existed on Tython around 36,453 BBY. As the Batch is about to enter a hidden passageway, Tech notes some etchings are “easily a thousand years old.” Phee corrects him, saying, “older, much older.” Phee then says the legend of Skara Nal “traces back to the ancients.” Echo says, “You mean the Jedi?” Phee says, “No, older.” The timeline of the Jedi

But Phee does propose a tantalizing theory that’s rarely explored in Star Wars lore. We don’t learn much about who built this ancient thing, or exactly what time period it comes from. A random compass scavenged by Omega leads them to the Kaldar trinary system, which Phee thinks is the site of a mythical treasure called “Skara Nal.” In the end, everyone learns the hidden treasure is actually a giant killer robot with the ability to raze the surface of a planet, sort of like if an AT-AT were merged with Death Star tech. In “Entombled,” the Batch are led on a hunt for ancient treasure with their pirate ally Phee (Wanda Sykes). Phee leads the Bad Batch on a treasure hunt.
