In the movie, a fictional “Holy City” by the name of “Jedha City” or “Jedha” (very similar to the real city of “Jeddah” in Saudi Arabia, which happens to be where the two real holy cities of Mecca and Medina for Muslims reside) houses the “Temple of the Kyber” which is a sacred temple for the Jedi and those who believe in “The Force.” Similar to the real Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the fictional “Jedha” in the film, features holy men and women, many of whom are pilgrims recognized by their ornate robes. They pretty much look like Muslim women who wear the Burqa in Saudi Arabia and some other conservative Muslim countries.
