Can't Enter Temple on Unknown Planet

[JoeyFogey]

I get to the point where the Elders are doing their chants outside the Temple. Then the Guide says "Someone is coming!"
Nothing happens. I looked this up and Jolee is usually the one that interrupts the ritual (Juhani as well?) but they're nowhere to be found. I go all over the map of the planet and find nothing. Even in the Ebon Hawk, none of my party members are around. Also, my game is somehow clocked at under an hour.

Is this a really bad glitch that can be fixed?

Jolee and Juhani are supposed to appear and a conversation should start about Jolee having a premonition. You should not have to go looking for them so something is wrong.

Can you go back to a previous save, possibly from before you talk to the Elders in their enclosure? (It is always a VERY good idea to save when you first reach a planet and keep that save until you finish the planet - as well as saving periodically).

If going back to an earlier save does not fix this then I don't know as I've not come across this before.

Sadly I don't have a save that far back. I found one post online that had this issue, but no one had a solution. You'd think glitches like this would be found and fixed. But I guess it's not very common.

You may possibly only need to go back to just before entering the Elders compound after rescuing their scout from The One.

I assume both Jolee and Juhani are available (you didn't kill Juhani on Dantooine) and that you approached the Elders outside the Temple with no party members, not just in solo mode?

I've played the game many times over the years going back to the original disk release and never come across this problem so no, it's not common and there may not be a fix apart from going back to an earlier save.

The original developers aren't going to fix a game this old. There is a restored content mod under development over at the Deadlystream site which fixes some bugs but unless your issue can be replicated so what causes it can be identified there isn't much chance anyone will fix it.
