Operation Knightfall was the official name given to the attack on the Jedi Temple, which
saw the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker lead the assault alongside legions of Clone
Troopers.
Being at the centerpoint of the offensive, Anakin personally cut down multiple Jedi all
on his own while his troopers mowed down the rest.
So which Jedi did he actually kill himself?
The very first Jedi to be cut down by Anakin’s blade was Jurokk.
He served as the Gate Master, with the duty of protecting the entrances of the Temple
from any potential enemies.
Unaware that Anakin had fallen to the darkside, Jurokk approached the newly appointed Sith
Lord with only a few questions on what happened to Mace Windu and his mission to arrest the
Supreme Chancellor.
Anakin ignored the man’s question, instead asking his own of where Shaak Ti was within
the Temple.
After answering the question, Jurokk was quickly cut down as Anakin and his clones marched
into the sacred temple.
While the majority of the clones were off securing the outer entrances of the Temple,
Anakin made his way to the communications center that was located within the Jedi Archives.
When he entered the room, he was confronted by Jocasta Nu.
She was the Chief Librarian of the Order and the protector of all the knowledge of the
Jedi Archives.
While extremely knowledgeable of the lore that was stored within her library, she herself
was no match against the battle hardened Anakin Skywalker.
Even though she sensed his fall to the dark side and was able to ignite her lightsaber
blade, she was quickly taken down when Anakin force pulled her in and fatally stabbed her
in the chest.
Following her death, a few other unknown Jedi Knights within the library attacked Anakin
but were all eliminated by him and the clones.
The next prominent Jedi Master to be killed by Anakin was Cin Drallig.
Holding the title of Battlemaster, Cin Drallig was the head lightsaber combat instructor
of the Order, and as such he was likely one of the biggest threats to Anakin as a combatant
within the Temple.
Drallig actually was teaching a class of padawans when the attack began, and when he was alerted
of it he was able to hold his own against the scores of clones that attacked his position.
When Anakin learned of this, he quickly made his way toward the Battlemaster’s position
in an attempt to put him down for good.
When he made contact with the Jedi Master, Anakin instigated an intense duel with Cin
Drallig and a few of his Padawans that tried to help.
A portion of the duel was caught on a holocam, which was later watched by Obi Wan and Yoda.
Although Cin Drallig put up a good fight, he was eventually killed when Anakin threw
his own lightsaber through his chest.
His padawans that tried to help were also killed by Anakin, with their names being Bene
and Whie Malreaux.
A Jedi Knight named Serra Keto also tried to stop the Sith Lord but was unsuccessful
in her attempt and was swiftly killed as she was crushed to death by a large pillar that
Anakin threw at her.
At least 4 other unidentified Jedi Masters were killed by Anakin, along with a few unknown
Knights as well.
Near the end of Operation Knightfall, Anakin was going around the Temple and killing all
the padawans and younglings that were hiding within the many chambers of the building.
One injured Zabrak Jedi was forced to watch his students get cut down one by one, before
it was his own turn.
His final words were telling Anakin that those who betray others only betray themselves.
The Sith Lord then cut the man down without a hint of hesitation or remorse of what he’d
done.
Another group of younglings were also killed by Anakin, with them initially believing he
was there to rescue them.
The main youngling to approach was named Sors Bandeam, with only two others among his group
being identified as Jeswi Ele and Shia Letap.
Finally we have Shaak Ti.
While the deleted scene of Anakin stabbing her in the back was never regarded as her
official death among Legends material, it’s likely how she died in Canon based on the
foreshadowing of it shown in Yoda’s force vision.
