OnALegendsArticle

Jedi Museum was a painting created after 104 ABY.[1] Positioned as though it were painted from the upper levels of an immense museum about the Jedi, the painting portrayed various stories of the building occupied by observers and large statues of individuals holding lightsabers. On the left side of Jedi Museum was a statue of a Jedi riding a varactyl. The lower right side included a parked T-65 X-wing starfighter, and two BTL Y-wing starfighters were visible on that side. Several spheres hung from the building's ceiling, including one resembling a ringed world in the distance.[2]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 "Celestia Galactica Photografica" was included in Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Legacy Vol. 4, which describes the stories it contains as taking place more than a century after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. That film took place in 4 ABY according to The Essential Atlas, meaning that all paintings in "Celestia Galactica Photografica," including Jedi Museum, must have been created after 104 ABY.
