As the Clone Wars came to an end and the troopers who served the Republic turned on their Jedi
Generals in the events of Order 66, only very few Jedi were able to escape with their lives.
These few remaining survivors were forced to scramble across the galaxy and hide in
any way that they could, to avoid the wrath of Darth Vader.
One Jedi Master however attempted to gather a group of surviving Jedi together so that
they could strike back at Palpatine’s new empire and restore light to the galaxy…
At least, that’s what she told the others… in reality, she wanted to lure Darth Vader
to her group of survivors, which would force them to take action and kill the dark lord…
So, lets find out how this attempt went…
Before we dive in, make sure you subscribe for a whole lot more Star Wars lore content

So the story begins all the way out on Eriadu, deep in the outer rim, and also the homeworld
of Tarkin.
A group of prowling clone troopers are on the hunt, only a very short time after Order
66, hunting for their Jedi General who managed to evade their attacks.
The clone commander calls for his men to get moving more quickly as he believes he has
a trace on the master.
The group of troopers eventually come to a dead end, wondering where the Master could
possibly have gone.
The second in command of the group asks his commander “What does it matter?
The Jedi are dead… those left are scattered”...
The commander however responds, telling him that Order 66 still remains in effect and
so if they spot one, they absolutely must kill it…
Moments later, their cunning Jedi general leaks out into the pouring rain of Eriadu
with his lightsaber steaming, telling the clones that perhaps the Jedi are not so easy
to kill when they actually know who their enemies are…
After this, the Master leaps through air and his green blade slices through the clone trooper’s
backs killing each one sees and finally taking off the head of his once good friend and former
commander.
After wiping out all of the men in his former squad, he hears a distant voice call out and
tell him that he did a good job.
Master Tsui Choi is concerned by this, raising his green blade and demanding that the person
show themself.
To his relief, if is another Jedi knight, Bultar Swann who has come to his rescue.
Master Choi is absolutely shocked that she managed to live and she tells him that she
was on duty at a med station, checking the wounded when the clones suddenly turned against
her and attacked.
Master Choi says that he was in transit with his starfighter when he heard the false return
signal coming from the Jedi temple and then later the one from Obi-Wan telling the Jedi
to stay away…
At that point, he ditched the fighter and played dead…
After saying this, he feels more sadness wash over him as he recounts hearing the reports
about the younglings being slaughtered in the temple.
Bultar Swan then tells the master that there are a few more remaining Jedi which she has
been in contact with… some who are not content with the situation and don’t believe the
sith should be allowed to win.
The master tells her that perhaps this is the will of the force, but she responds perhaps
not, before ushering him away, ready to move to the hidden Jedi outpost.
Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of Coruscant Darth Vader has discovered another surviving
Jedi named Dama Montalvo and demands to know where Obi-Wan Kenobi is hiding.
His Master sidious watches on, as Vader tortures the Jedi Padawan with pure range and anger
but he takes it too far and kills him.
Sidious is not impressed at all and warns his apprentice not to dwell on the Jedi Order
any longer.
Vader warns that his former Order could prove a danger to the Empire, but Palpatine doesn’t
take the threat seriously at all since there are only few survivors and not even Mace Windu
or Yoda could defeat him.
Sidious then speaks frankly with the apprentice, telling him that he knows this isn’t about
the Jedi.
This is about his former Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Vader wants revenge on him for the pain he has caused…
Sidious then warns him not to go after him any further.
Vader agrees to this but only moments later, one of the 501st clone troopers reports to
Vader that their spies have discovered that Jedi are gathering on Kessel tomorrow morning.
Vader then sharply asks if Obi-Wan is among them, to which the Clone tells him yes.
Moving to Kessel, Bultar Swan and Master Choi arrive and are greeted by Master Shadday Potkin
who was responsible for gathering all of the Jedi.
They quickly move into the chamber, gathering in an abandoned mineshaft.
She introduces all of the other survivors who have made it to the chamber, which are
Robilio Darte’, Sia-lan Wezz, Ma’Kis Shaalas, Koffi Arana and Jastus Farr.
Master Shadday says that she is expecting one more person, but they can get started
discussing their plans anyway.
Soon after, Master choi asks what the purpose of this gathering is, to which Darte responds
that they are here to save the republic.
Choi however tells him that there is no republic since the Senate chose to become an empire
through legitimate means, but Arana bursts out saying that they were manipulated by Palpatine
and that the Jedi teachings have been completely useless in stopping it.
He wants to kill the sith and their empire at all costs.
He is quickly warned by Master Choi that what he seeks is revenge which can only lead to
the dark side, but he responds by saying that perhaps the Dark side is necessary to destroy
the sith.
He says “Has not the dark side proven stronger after all”...
Huge arguments break out about the use of the dark side to restore the Republic until
Master Shadday is eventually asked again what the purpose of this gathering really was….
She then smiles and says that she expected the Jedi to do what they have always done.
Gather, examine the idea, think about it, meditate on it and talk… and then nothing
would be done…
Just as always…
She then reveals her final invitation to the gathering, Darth Vader himself.
SHe tells the other Jedi to reach out with their feelings and they will know that Palpatine’s
mailed fist, dooku’s successor, Maul’s inheritor, Darth Vader is here.
Master Shadday tells the others that she does not know the reason for Vader’s hatred of
Master Kneobi, but she knew that it would draw him here…
Obviously meaning she doesn’t yet know Anakin is under the suit.
The 8 Jedi are forced to ignite their lightsaber as Vader walks closer to their hiding spot,
with Master Shadday proclaiming that there is no more time for debate, reflecting our
planning.
The time to strike Vader down is here.
Following this, Vader bursts through the entrance, demanding to know where Obi-Wan Kenobi is
and Shadday immediately tells him that he is not here.
His name was simply used as bait.
Sia-Lan Wezz then rushes forward ready to strike Vader down with her green blade, but
she is defeated in only seconds, being impaled directly through the heart.
The savage fight continues with Vader taking on the remaining Jedi all at once.
After this, he slices through Ma’Kis’ chest killing him in a single swing, before
feeling great agony as he himself is sliced through the back by Jastus Farr with his double
bladed green lightsaber.
In response to this, Vader then leaps to the high ground with the force, but is quickly
chased by Master Shadday.
The arrogant and confident Jedi master taunts the Sith Lord, telling Vader that she has
prepared very carefully for this meeting by bringing a cortosis blade.
She then swings the blade, deactivating Vader’s red lightsaber and making it useless for the
next few minutes.
The Sith Lord however is not going to let this stop him, immediately grabbing Master
Shadday by the neck with fury and choking her to death before taking the blade.
Vader again leaps into the air like a dark shadow demanding to know where Obi-Wan Kenobi
is with strong anger.
The Dark lord then manages to deactivate two mroe lightsabers during the fight until Master
Choi realizes that if one cannot touch the blade, they must cut off the hand that wields
it.
He then does exactly that, chopping off Vader’s mechanical hand leading him to shockingly
surrender.
Koffi Arana however, being closer than ever to the dark side refuses to accept Darth Vader’s
surrender and believes that it is another sith trick.
He is held back from his rage by Bultar Swann who warns him not to murder an unarmed enemy…
Literally unarmed.
Darkness swells in Master Arana however and he refuses to listen to Bultar Swan, taking
the lightsaber out of her hands and immediately impaling her through the chest.
With hatred flowing through his veins, Master Arana vows to avenge the death of the girl
he just killed and leaps forward towards Vader.
Unfortunately for the rage filled master, Vader uses the force to lift his dropped arm
and impales him with the cortosis blade.
Yet another master has fallen and only three remain.
Vader demands to know the location of Kenobi one last time, promising mercy to the one
who tells him, but at this point thats definitely not going to happen.
As a result, the three remaining Jedi use the force to bring down a huge pile of rubble
on Vaer’s head, leaving him in a very bad state.
Vader still however vows to destroy all of them.
Master Tsui Choi however is on the verge of victory, promising to end Vader for the countless
lives he has taken…
In a shocking turn however the Clone troopers of the 501st rush into the complex and open
a barrage of fire on the three remaining Jedi immediately killing Jastus Far and shocking
the other 2.
With only 2 Jedi remaining, Master Choi demands that Master Darte run for the tunnels to survive
but he is quickly engulfed by blue blaster fire from the Clone Troopers, killing him
on the spot.
Darkness then swells in Vader and he promises to show Master choi the power of the Dark
side once and for all.
Master Choi then flings a group of lightsabers right back at Vader with one even hitting
him directly in the helmet, but before he can finish the Job, Master Choi is tragically
killed by Commander Appo of the 501st.
As Vader lifts his head, he notices that a large chunk of his helmet is now damaged,
revealing his sith eyes and the man truly underneath, Anakin Skywalker.
With his true face showing, Anakin asks Commander Appo what brings him to this place, to which
the Clone Trooper tells him that the Emperor requests his presence immediately.
With his helmet now repaired, Vader returns to his master and apologises for disobeyed
him.
Palpatine brushes it off and says that he has made the situation useful.
The emperor has told the Galaxy that Vader tracked down a nest of Jedi traitors, 50 of
them and killed every last one of them.
Vader calls out his master’s obvious exaggeration but Sidious says it does not matter because
it will create a terrifying legend that will quickly spread throughout the galaxy.
And to end the story, Palpatine tells Vader that he must purge all traces of Anakin Skywalker
from his mind and get on with ruling their new empire…
So that is how Darth Vader eliminated 8 Jedi at once…
All because of an arrogant and foolish Jedi Master.
