Theed temple was a small temple attached to Theed Royal Palace in the capital city Theed on the planet Naboo. A small chamber called the Turret Room was attached to the temple. It was built by the Naboo King Jafan^[1]after the beginning of the Great Time of Peace in 832 BBY.^[3] Naboo's later rulers would pay homage to their predecessors inside the temple,^[1] and others would use the Turret Room to mourn lost heroes and celebrate their lives. Three days after the end of the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation^[4] in 32 BBY,^[5] the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi met with Jedi Master Yoda inside the temple, where Yoda discussed the decisions of the Jedi High Council to knight Kenobi following the death of his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and debated the training of the newfound Force-sensitive child Anakin Skywalker.^[4]
