===The Four Councils===
The Four Branches of the Jedi Council are fictional institutions from the ''Star Wars'' universe. They serve the Jedi Order as an organized administrative body that provides the necessary auxiliary and support services that sustain and governed the Order's academies, temples, interests and organizations.

====Jedi High Council====
The Jedi High Council is the main ecclesiastical leadership of the Jedi Order with both legislative and executive powers. The Jedi High Council is made up of some of the strongest, wisest and most experienced members of the Jedi Order. They are elected to lead the Jedi. The Jedi High Council has twelve members at any given time: five members who serve for life, four members who serve long-term, and three limited-term members. [[Sifo-Dyas]] had a seat on the council until his extremist views on a war that he foresaw caused his removal. Other older members include Jor Aerith, Tera Sinuba, and Yula Braylon.

In ''Jedi: Fallen Order - Dark Temple'' (which is set an unknown amount of time before ''[[Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace]]''), the Jedi Council includes Yoda, Mace Windu, Eeth Koth, Yarael Poof, Poli Dapatian, and Jocasta Nu. In ''Master & Apprentice'', set seven years before ''The Phantom Menace'', the council includes Yoda, Mace Windu, Depa Billaba, Poli Dapatian (who is in the process of retiring), Eeth Koth, and Saesee Tiin.

In the final days before the end of the [[Clone Wars (Star Wars)|Clone Wars]] and the extermination of the Jedi Order, the Council consisted of the following members:{{div col}}

The Council of Reconciliation dealt with the [[Galactic Senate]] and the Republic Diplomatic Corps in order to help bring diplomatic resolutions to conflicts and end political standoffs. The "first face" of the Republic presented to worlds interested in joining the Republic, this council would dispatch Jedi diplomats and ambassadors to moderate debate and hammer out treaties{{sfn|Wallace|2017|p=}}
