The Jedi High Council served as the leading body of the Jedi Order for thousands of years, ruling with wisdom and unity.
It elected its own members and was the guiding force of the Jedi Order.
In the years before the Rise of the Empire many members of the Council rarely ever left Coruscant, choosing to dictate the course of the galaxy from the High Council Tower. As the darkenss grew, however, many Councilors were forced to take to the field and when the Clone War began they became scattered across the galaxy leading the Clone Army. After Order 66 and the Jedi Purge the High Council effectively ceased to exist.
In DD canon , however, several Councilors survived and ruled the Jedi from the new Temple on Dantooine. They were forced to move several times with the Rebels, first to Yavin, then Hoth, Endor, and finally settling on Alderaan after the end of the Empire. Over the years they faced a great deal of tension with the Skywalker Family, culminating in Garndmaster Anakin Skywalker taking his family away from Jedi influence.
In JE canon the Council is reestablished in 18 ABY by Kyidyin Muchian and Luke Skywalker. Later, after many of its members are slain in the Battle of Grovinor, it is reorganized into the Council of Sixteen which lasts for thirty years until being dismantled. The Council is not again used until 67 ABY after the death of Grandmaster Saolin Feng and the end of the Jeddriadde. The Council continues until the end of the Order in 81 ABY.
