Darth Vader is an iconic figure in the Star Wars universe, and one of the most popular
characters.
But let’s not forget that Vader killed a lot of people during his career, including
innocent women and children.
Various sources suggest that the death toll is easily in the hundreds, perhaps thousands...
So to narrow things down a bit, let’s explore 10 Jedi that Vader has killed.
These are in no particular order.
So let’s begin…
1.
Mace Windu Well technically the killing of Mace Windu
was a team effort between Anakin and Sidious.
When Anakin Skywalker sliced off Windu’s arm, his fate was pretty much sealed.
Sidious then added the Force lightning cherry on top, sending poor Mace flying out the window
to his doom.
Yeah!
All this happened moments before Anakin was crowned with the title Darth Vader.
2.
Sors Bandeam Vader eventually came back to the light side
of the Force thanks to Luke, and was finally redeemed just before dying.
Still, it’s hard to forget what he did to those poor younglings…
Sors Bandeam was a Force-sensitive youngling who was a student of the Jedi Order during
the Clone Wars.
After Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly Darth Sidious, issued Order 66, Bandeam
and his fellow younglings hid in the Jedi Council Chamber during the attack on the Jedi
Temple.
They were discovered by Vader, who had been Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker a few days earlier.
Thinking that Vader was still a Jedi, Bandeam asked the Sith Lord for advice.
Instead of helping them, Vader slaughtered Bandeam and the remaining younglings…
Bandeam would later go on to become Supreme Leader Snoke….
just kidding…
3.
Serra Keto
Serra Keto and Cin Drallig made a last stand together at the Jedi Temple, fighting off
numerous clone troopers until they were separated.
Keto faced off against Vader in the data room by the Tower of First Knowledge.
Despite her emotion-laden dual lightsaber attacks, she deemed Vader to be stronger.
During the fight, Keto taunted and provoked Vader, hoping that he would make a mistake
and give her an advantage.
Unfortunately for her, Vader was able to corner the young Jedi.
After a short battle against the Sith, the young Jedi managed to pin Vader to a pillar
and attempted to behead him.
Vader ducked under her strike, causing her to slice through the pillar instead.
Before the exhausted Keto could attack Vader again, the Dark Lord used the Force to throw
the pillar towards her, knocking her off the balcony and crushing her in the training room
below.
4.
Cin Drallig Cin Drallig was a human male Jedi Master who
served the Order during the Clone Wars.
He was the head of the Jedi Temple Guard and a lightsaber instructor who was nicknamed
"the Troll" by fellow Jedi.
During the attack on the Jedi Temple, Drallig fought to defend it alongside Padawans Whie
and Bene.
The three Jedi were eventually confronted and slain in lightsaber combat by Darth Vader.
5.
Potkin
During a meeting between 8 jedi, Vader stormed the room, acting on false intelligence that
told him Obi Wan Kenobi would be attending the meeting.
Potkin and the 7 Jedi attacked Vader at the same time.
Armed with a rare cortosis blade, Potkin was able to deactivate the Sith Lord's crimson-bladed
weapon after he cut down Jedi Sia-Lan Wezz.
Believing that she had the upper hand, Potkin's victory was quickly cut short when Vader simply
grabbed her by the neck and snapped the woman's spine.
Caught up in Potkin's plan, all the remaining Jedi were also killed.
6.
Koffi Arana Koffi Arana was another casualty of the aforementioned
meeting.
Arana and his fellow Jedi ambushed and attacked Vader, determined to kill the Sith Lord.
After Vader defeated Wezz, Potkin, and Ma'kis'shaalas, he deactivated Arana's lightsaber using Potkin's
cortosis blade.
Choi and Swan managed to wound Vader by cutting off his sword arm, and the Sith Lord attempted
to deceive the Jedi by feigning surrender.
Arana, however, insisted that the Jedi kill the Dark Lord immediately.
After an argument with Swan, Arana murdered her in order to take her lightsaber.
But before he could do so, Vader used the Force to throw his detached arm, still holding
the cortosis blade, into Arana's chest, killing him.
7.
Roan Shryne
Roan Shryne was a human male Jedi Knight who briefly avoided Order 66.
Shryne and his fellow Jedi were initially on the run, but after witnessing a Jedi massacre
carried out by Vader, Shyrne decided that he could not hide any longer.
Shryne decapitated Commander Appo right in front of Vader, challenging the Sith apprentice
to a duel.
By doing so he allowed the Dancer crew and the younger Jedi to escape.
The fateful duel against Vader ended in Shryne being dealt mortal injuries from Force charged
objects.
Vader did not kill Shryne outright, and instead decided to revel in telling the dying Jedi
the truth behind the Emperor's identity; the fact he was his apprentice; and finally, his
former identity as Anakin Skywalker.
He believed this was a final insult to the dying Jedi, letting him know how utterly the
Order had been destroyed from within.
However, Roan still died happy, sarcastically thanking Vader for causing him to become one
again with the Force.
8.
Kento Marek
After settling on Kashyyyk, Kento Marek would live amongst the Wookiees for ten years.
During that time, Mallie gave birth to their only child, Galen Marek.
The child of two Jedi Knights, Galen was born with an exceptionally powerful connection
to the Force.
The family's happiness would be cut short with a tragedy when Mallie died while defending
Wookiees from a group of Trandoshan slavers.
Years later, Darth Vader, accompanied by stormtroopers, infiltrated the Wookiee village.
Slaughtering many of its defenders along the way, Vader finally arrived at the front entrance
of Kento Marek's hut, and the Jedi and the Sith engaged in a lightsaber duel.
After overwhelming Kento, Vader utilized a powerful Force push to send the Jedi crashing
through his own hut, causing his lightsaber to shatter from the impact.
Defeated and far too injured to continue, Marek was unable to defend himself as Vader
lifted him in the air while slowly choking him to death.
Vader then raised his lightsaber to cut the Jedi down.
However, just as Vader moved to kill Marek, his lightsaber was suddenly ripped from his
hand.
He turned around to see where his weapon had landed, and was utterly shocked to see that
a young child had used the Force through pure instinct to take his weapon.
He quickly realized that the boy was the son of the Jedi that he was about to kill.
Using the Force to reclaim his lightsaber, Vader blocked the blaster shots that were
aimed at Galen before cutting down the commander and his stormtroopers.
After eliminating the witnesses who saw Galen, Vader approached the frightened orphan and
told him that they had to leave together before more Imperials arrived.
The rest as they say is history…
9.
An'ya Kuro
An'ya Kuro was a Human female who gave up her name in service of the Force and became
the Dark Woman.
A mysterious yet respected Master of the Jedi Order, the Dark Woman trained many Force-sensitives.
During the Great Jedi Purge, Kuro sought safety on Cophrigin V, where she built a great garden
and lived as a hermit.
When Kuro's hiding place was eventually discovered, Vader arrived to kill the maverick Jedi Master.
Kuro told Vader that she already accepted her fate, but nonetheless put up a fight.
During their duel, Vader brought down a huge tree on top of Kuro, trapping her.
With a slash of his lightsaber, he ended her life.
She merged with the Force and told him he still had the power left in him to become
Anakin again.
Enraged, Vader tried to strike her Force ghost with his blade, but Kuro's presence simply
disappeared into the light of the Force.
10.
Obi Wan Kenobi
Well to be fair, technically Vader didn’t kill Obi Wan Kenobi…pushed him to suicide
would be a more accurate description…
Let’s not forget that Kenobi is the sole reason why Vader requires his mobile life
support unit.
After a lengthy duel on Mustafar, Obi Wan dismembered the hate-filled Sith Lord when
he recklessly jumped towards him.
By the time of his rematch on the first Death Star, Kenobi had evidently gone for some years
without a duel and his skill with a lightsaber had atrophied.
Despite this, he was still reasonably formidable and was able to hold his own against Vader
for a relatively short period of time, but quickly became exhausted due to his age, lack
of practice, and the sheer force of Vader's attacks.
Instead of continuing the fight, he decided to sacrifice his physical form and become
one with the Force.
So that’s it, those are 10 Jedi that Vader has killed, and trust me there’s many many
more…
