The Old Jedi Academy is now abandoned. It is unsafe of any force user to meet in such a place.

Dantooine is a relatively isolated and unspoiled world dominated by sprawling grasslands and large oceans. The planet is inhabited by humanoid nomads known as the Dantari. The Dantari are hardy, yet primitive beings that can be found hunting along the coastlines.

Thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, Dantooine served as the site of a small Jedi academy overseen by Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Over the centuries, the planet has also attracted a handful of colonists, who live in rustic family estates spread across the planet. The planet does have one small spaceport to handle new arrivals.

Because of its remote location and small native population, Dantooine recently housed the Rebel Alliance`s primary base. The Rebels eventually discovered an Imperial tracking device aboard a cargo shipment to the base, and promptly evacuated the site in a single day. When Grand Moff Tarkin threatened to destroy Princess Leia`s homeworld of Alderaan, she revealed that Dantooine was indeed a Rebel hideout, although she was well aware that the Rebels had already abandoned the planet.

The Jedi then yet again came to this planet to house the Jedi Academy. The Dantari accepted the Jedi in hopes of using them as protection from predators.

The crystal caves are again abundant in crystals for lightsabers and are a rich source.

Unfortunately this new Temple was soon after abandoned because of the threat of Darth Magnus and his horrific reighn of terror which destroyed 3 jedi temples.
