Talk: Imperial Palace

As pointed out by Purpilia, I think that page will have to be renamed "Imperial Palace/Canon," since Tarkin reveals that the Imperial Palace is in fact a refitted Jedi Temple. Since "Imperial Palace" is the last known name of the building in canon, I guess that should be the title. -- 18:43, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

• Reposting what I said on —I would wait until Tarkin comes out (that's where the Temple/Palace bit is identified) so we know the full context. That way we can make a completely informed decision. Aka, did the Emperor revamp the Temple? Did he demolish it and create a similar building (as seen in Episode VI)? It's clearly going to be the former, but I'd rather wait and be right than be quick and wrong. - Brandon Rhea 18:45, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

Oy. I thought the Lucasfilm Story Group was supposed to prevent this stuff. Out of curiosity, though, and with an eye toward updating the article, what are the conflicts? I think I get the one discussed above, but what's in Return of the Jedi that creates a conflict? ProfessorTofty (talk) 12:13, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

• Well, I think it's more that The Rebellion Begins conflicts with Tarkin AND Episode VI, not necessarily that the three contradict each other. But I couldn't find a satisfying way to express that using our templates. Tarkin isn't out yet, so we should take it with a grain of salt, but the Amazon preview shows that all that remained of the Jedi Temple complex was "its corpse of five skyscraping spires," but it was renovated and refitted into the Imperial Palace. On the other hand, The Rebellion Begins says that the Temple was razed to the ground. And Episode VI shows the Temple unchanged from its appearance in the prequels. -- 12:23, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this page should've been renamed Imperial Palace. Although it seems the temple was refitted into the palace, it is far more commonly known as the Jedi Temple and should be listed as such. Cevan (talk) 01:32, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

• Although I favor the "use of last known name," perhaps a vote is in order. -- 01:38, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

A lot of new canon info on the Temple was just dumped in this article it is almost certainly canon, there is nothing to indicate it is Legends. ralok (talk) 22:42, November 8, 2015 (UTC)

• There's definitely a mix of canon and Legends in there. For example, it talks about information from A New Dawn, but the bit about Darth Ruin is certainly Legends. These articles are generally written from an OOU perspective, combing information from across all forms of Star Wars media, canon or otherwise. They're not meant to be a source of new information. - Brandon Rhea 22:45, November 8, 2015 (UTC)

Since we're now treating the content of the post-reboot Fantasy Flight Games sourcebooks on a case-by-case basis, shouldn't we replace the current infobox image by this one? --LelalMekha (talk) 22:23, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

• 100% absolutely yes from me! The Jedi Temple becoming the Imperial Palace was created for canon, and has no basis in Legends, so this was definitely created to be a canonical image. - Brandon Rhea 22:32, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

The source for the current image comes from (according to its page) a Legends source. I'm aware there's been some debate in the past about how to handle content from the Fantasy Flight Games resources—was a decision on this matter finally made? Cevan (talk) 00:51, June 15, 2016 (UTC)

• See the above discussion and here. - AV-6R7 01:04, June 15, 2016 (UTC)

There is a problem. The canon Imperial Palace is both the Coruscant Jedi Temple and the Imperial Palace. The legends-counterpart to the canon Imperial Palace is the legends Jedi Temple. For the legends Imperial Palace, you first have to been looking. The canon-counterpart to the legends Imperial Palace is the former Jedi Temple/now Imperial Palace. But there, the legend is the legends Jedi Temple. But two time legends looks strange.

So, is it possible to create both a canon Jedi Temple article with "As Imperial Palace" and the legends Jedi Temple as legends-counterpart and a canon Imperial Palace article with "As Jedi Temple" and the legends Imprial Palace as legends-counterpart?

• It seems unnecessary to create a canon Jedi Temple considering the Jedi Temple became the Imperial Palace in canon. I did add the link to the legends page in the youmay template so that the readers can still get to the legends version of the Imperial Palace --Lewisr (talk) 17:11, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

I think it is worth noting that in the storboards, and probably early concept art... that the Jedi Temple itself was based on the same concept art that Ralph McQuarrie made that became the imperial palace! His art became the imperial palace in the EU, and then the same art was used for the Jedi Temple (and evovled) so the Jedi Temple in the canon continuity and imperial palace were combined, possibly because they were both things based on the same concept art... isnt that neato!!! Also if you dont believe me, check out page 95 of the Episode 1 phantom menace illustrated screenplay. ralok (talk) 06:56, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

The Jedi Temple is not supposed to be the Imperial Palace! They are two different buildings. The Palace is the tallest building on Coruscant. How are they going to recanonize The Force Unleashed? 4:35 PM; January 18, 2019; User:Ghost of LucasArts

• Well the short answer is they aren't. The Imperial Palace and Jedi Temple is the same building in canon, sorry if you don't like it but it is what it is --Lewisr (talk) 21:41, January 18, 2019 (UTC)
• There are various sources that establish that the Jedi Temple was transformed into the Imperial Palace.--Vitus Infinitus 21:51, January 18, 2019 (UTC)
