Why Most Star Wars Fans Don’t Actually Know much About the Battle for the Jedi Temple

[@geetslys]

The events of Operation Knightfall have a few significant differences between Legends and Canon, particularly in regards to Jocasta Nu and Shaak Ti. In Legends, Jocasta Nu was killed in the attack while Shaak Ti escaped; in Canon, it was the other way around. Many details in the Legends version of the story are not present in and are incompatible with the Canon version, while the Canon version includes details not present in or relevant to Legends (such as the betrayal of the Grand Inquisitor). This video, as with nearly all of our videos, exclusively details the Legends version of events. If you're confused about who died and who survived, that'd be because you're thinking of Canon stories. If you'd like to see a video on the Canon version of events, feel free to let us know!

[@pokechannelgx5819]

I think the truth behind Shaak Ti is that she died so many times because she has been cloning herself. One died to Grievous, one died to Anakin, one died to Lego Anakin, another got killed by Starkiller, and who knows how many others are out there. Why do you think she spent so much time on Kamino at the cloning facility? I rest my case.

Facts

[@Sleepy_Apocalypse]

Star wars Battlefront 1-2 were me and my younger brothers introduction to Star wars and it was just as sad as it was awesome. We loved shooting games and Star wars Battlefront looked pretty decent to be only 14.99 at the time, so I brought it so that we could see if we liked it and we both agreed that we did after doing a regular battle together. After one or two more battles we felt like we had a decent handle on the gameplay so we began playing the campaign together since we wanted to learn about the story and see if the game had any cool cutscenes. It might sound crazy considering they were only computer generated NPC's but the clone we fought alongside gradually became our brothers also, and so did the Jedi in a way. I'll never forget the shock the sadness and the horror I felt when Order 66 came through and we both realized what it was when our transports landed at the Temple and our brother began shooting Jedi. Just when we'd begun to think we were bringing the war to an end Palpatine gave the order seemingly out of nowhere. We went from fighting side by side with the Jedi on different battlefields all across the galaxy and viewing them as our brave and nearly unstoppable leaders to them being our enemy all within the span of a single night. I remember running through the Jedi Temple with one of the scout (sniper) clone units and running into a side room that looked clear of Jedi as I weighed my options on do we finish the mission or just go play another game mode (that's how much it meant to me emotionally at that point). My brother had felt even stronger about it than I had apparently because he hadn't even moved away from our transport at the front of the temple and when I asked him why he said that he wouldn't kill any Jedi even if it meant losing the mission. I was seriously about to just quit and go to a different mode when a ran into the room I'd been trying to keep a low profile inside and cut down two clones who were standing close to me. After seeing that I reacted based on survival instinct (and anger at seeing two of my brothers vut down). The Jedi could block blaster rifle bolts but not sniper rifle bolts so I'd already had one of the perfect clones units for killing Jedi. I dropped the Jedi so quickly I hadn't even known I was killing him until he was dead. After gaining my first Jedi kill I became somewhat numb to what we were doing and told my brother that since we didn't really have a choice we should just get the mission over with as soon as possible. It took some convincing (I had to guilt trip him into helping because we'd been a team all the way up until that moment and I didn't want him to look at me as a traitor after the mission was over) but he ended up helping me and the other clones eventually. We were both completely silent after we'd finished the mission and listen to the entry in the 501st journal. We always resented the Empire for what it made us do to the Jedi to make its rise achievable. The memory from those campaigns alongside our brothers and the memory of assaulting the Jedi temple ended up sticking with us both forever. We left campaign alone and stuck to rather modes for a while after that mission but we went back and finished it of course which is how we learned about The Empire. I don't know about my brother but whenever I hear people talking about that night I literally have flashbacks. I wasn't just told the story of the attack on the Jedi Temple.. In my mind I was literally there carrying out the attack. I was one of the many many brave souls who were reluctantly forced fo carry out those orders and slaughter our once esteemed Generals, Commander's, and Peacekeepers, who had all been labeled as traitors to the Republic. We hadn't even known anything about Star wars at the time but we knew without a shadow of a doubt that the Jedi weren't traitors. Unfortunately, our duty was to our brothers who were carrying out their orders and to the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic that had given us the order.

Interesting experience! I remember playing Battlefront on the PC when it came out and its sequel on the PS2 years later. Loved the PSP spin offs too. Especially Elite Squadron. Good times.

[@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233]

Agreed! I kinda wish EA had took some inspiration from Elite Squadron for their Battlefront 2 and allowed us to fight in space and planet side on the same map. I mean technically they do in certain modes by boarding ships via cutscene once enough command posts are captured. But it doesn’t feel nostalgic whatsoever. Of course you can customize each class like you could in Renegade and Elite Squadron games. But even then, it still feels limited. And this ain’t even the tip of the iceberg of my issues with the 2018 Battlefront 2. Especially the ridiculously limited modes in split-screen Co-Op.

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word." "With the fall of Coruscant and the elimination of the traitorous Jedi, Palpatine's rise to power was complete. In recognition of our service and loyalty to the Emperor, the 501st were placed under the direct command of Lord Vader. Armed with deadly new weapons, blazing new ships, and shiny new armor, our presence let the galaxy know that the days of the Old Republic were well and truly over. We were establishing a new era, an era of order and peace." I still get chills about this.

Here is what i think played out during the attack on the jedi temple (canon) and yes this a canon material puzzle being put together however my predicitons of the story could be wrong so i would consider this mostly canon (at the end i would explained every puzzle piece so you wouldn't think I'm making this up). connecting the puzzles from the comics, movies and series: A jedi temple guard (the grand inquisitor), gets a holo call from someone, it turns out to be Palpatine, Palpatine order the guard to eliminate the Jedi temple guards. The guard starts to silenty backstab temple guards, delete the footage off the temple's recording and repeat, until Cin Drallig and other Jedi, started to realize that multiple temple guards have gone missing. Cin Drallig, regrouped all the temple guards, thus putting a stop to the guard's massacare. The guard then silenty leaves the temple. A few Jedi in the temple starts sense something wrong in the force, like "Jedi across the Galaxy are getting betrayed, and eliminated", Cin Drallig discuss this with other Jedi. Meanwhile outside the temple Anakin and his clones arrive, they march to the Jedi temple, killing everything that stands in their way eventually they get to Shaak Tii, and execute her. Meanwhile during this chaos, Jocasta Nu tries to protect the jedi archives with the other Jedis, however the clones were too much for her and the Jedi to handle, she was destined to get the important books and things, however another Jedi, stop her from doing so, warning her that it would be too dangerous, and convincing her that she is the best hope, if the jedi order really falls, the jedi delayed and distract the enemy enough to give her time to escape through the secret statue all the way down to corrusant deeper levels. While all that was happening, commander Fox and his clones take part in order 66 by securing outside the temple. they'll eliminate any jedi that somehow managed to escape the 501st and Anakin. After they cleared the temple, Palpatine go the jedi temple to see what Anakin has done. Anakin later sent a message to any surviving jedi, the message manage reached a group of jedi that arrive there at the same time,when they arrive, there are smoke everywhere and then unexpectedly clones came out of the smoke, they started blasting the Jedis. And that is the end of the canon material puzzle, there are most likely more puzzle pieces out there, so this is not last you see of me, but for now this is. (Ok time for explanation: the puzzle piece for the grand inquisitor stuff, is more of a logical one rather than a canon confirmed one, because he has to prove to Palpatine somehow just like how anakin proved to Palpatine by clearing the jedi temple, and this would explained why we see no temple guard in the jedi temple. The puzzle piece for Cin Drallig discussing with other jedi is seen in the jedi temple recording. The puzzle piece for the Jocasta , she is shown entering through the statue so she must have escaped through the secret statue door. in the darth vader comics, Jocasta Nu didn't get a very important thing, which she later would attempt to get it back, so something must have pulled her back from doing so during order 66, and I introduce this jedi character, who said she is the best hope for the jedi order which is logically and canonically true, since she is knowledgeable. And the Jocasta Nu protecting the archives is because Jocasta Nu is always pictured as a very protective librarian, she even risked blowing her cover by attacking The grand inquisitor who's touching "her" book. The puzzle piece for Commander Fox: in darth vader comics, Commander Fox stated that he took part during order 66, and him being a Corusant security guard must have played the same role as he did in the darth vader comics that is securing outside the temple to make sure nobody would escape. The puzzle piece for Palpatine coming to the temple is shown in the recordings. The smoke one is shown in a manga of Leia, which shows outside the temple, Jedis being killed.

The last time I checked, almost anyone gifted with the Force can sense if someone in their presence is going to try to kill them. The only way this can possibly be salvaged is if they say in a guidebook that Ti was using battle meditation, and as such couldn’t defend herself.

This reminds me, what happened to the other branches of the Jedi Order - especially the ones that were noncombatants like the agricultural corps or off-world - during Operation Knightfall? I mean, not all of them could have had clone troopers with them, right?

[@theaustriansurvivor687]

Well that depends on whether you want an answer from canon or legends. Since this video depicts (as far as I know) the legends version of "Operation Knightfall" I'll stick to legends. It is stated in "The Jedi Path A Manual for Students of the Force" that many of the Agri-Corps Members were either killed or turned to the dark side after Order 66. Also, many of them were probably deployed on worlds ravaged by the Clone Wars in order to help rebuild the food production. I would assume that such places were importang enough to be guarded by clone detachements, so Order 66 could have affected them quite easily. As for the Medical Corps I can't cite any specific sources, but I would imagine that they were deployed not far away from the frontlines to help heal wounded clones in in field hospitals. So again, there probably was a fairly strong clone presence nearby. The Educational Corps and Exploration Corps are harder to grasp. I would guess that quite a few members of these branches survived the first onslaught of Order 66 because they were scattered all over the galaxy and probably without too many clones nearby, since their actions had little to do with the war. However I do believe that most research projects of the Educational Corps were fairly well known since they often worked with scholars outside the order. Therefore I would imagine that most of them were probably detained by local authorities on the charge of treason against the republic and later executed. Members of the Exploration Corps probably had the highest chance of surviving because many of them were constantly on the move, so that it would have been hard to track them down. But the Exploration Corps also had very few members to begin with, so there were not too many that needed killing. Also, you have to remember, that the majority of the members of the Jedi Service Corps were either former Younglings who never made it to Padawan or former Padawans that never became knights. So they were neither as dangerous to the Empire as Knights or Masters would have been, nor as hard to kill, so whoever survived Order 66 was probably killed or turned later on. I hope this was helpful

[@maxxor-overworldhero6730]

@@theaustriansurvivor687 That definitely was helpful. Especially when I remember in Legends that Operation Knightfall also effectively was a g-cide of the Miralukans (the near-humans who lacked eyes and inherently used the Force to see), especially when there were a ton of Miralukan staff not sufficiently Force-Sensitive enough to be Jedi employed by the Order.

i love your videos. there always so well informed and detailed. however i wish that you would put distinctions in when regaurding to true cannon and disney fannon content. that way newcomers to the fandom will know the difference between the 2.

This is why being a temple guard is awesome and sad

I thought Jocasta Nu was killed by Vader after Order 66. I saw it in a comic book. Vader had his suit and Jocasta was attacking him with lightsaber-rifle.

Shaak-Ti in Legends: *dies by the hands of Grievous, dies by the hands of Vader, dies by the hands of Starkiller* Well at lest I am not myself in Disney Canon.

[@louishicks4921]

What if the jedi were ready and waiting for the attack? Having seen vision's of it and come up with a plan of there own.

[@alexanderthegreat6682]

In that case they would have held the temple entrance much more successfully, and the clones would have been forced to use artillery or explosives to break in, and several more Jedi would have survived Order 66, especially a large number of the Padawans and younglings in the temple, and some of the Jedi who returned after the initial battle.

[@electroanubis3385]

I thought Plo Koon been shot down by his own pilot when order 66 was issued

[@mrbojangles9348]

What about the disguised infiltration clones? Who supposedly were meant to thin out or eliminate temple guards before the main force arrived. Then after the battle we’re supposed to disguise themselves as Jedi so that from a distance the temple looked safe, only for Jedi to fall into the trap of revealing themselves

[@randomguy1928]

Sadly it was only adapted in the deleted scene and the lego version.

Th3 most confusing parts is how did Shaak Ti really died? Is there's like 4 ways that she supposedly died. Why?

The operation knightfall part of the revenge of the sith video game is my favorite level fighting jedi is quite entertaining. Jedi sniper: "your no match for my skills." Darth vader: "your no match for the power of the dark side."

[@michaelandreipalon359]

I actually prefer being a shotgun-and-fusioncutter wielding Engineer though. Former against the novice Jedi, latter so to preserve those purged Jedi texts and holocrons.

Do you think you could cover battles from the Sequel trilogy if you got the chance?

[@richardpage5812]

So I guess Jacosta Nu figured out how to come back from the dead or something.🤔

[@weshelm7991]

What about the temple guards that turned on the jedi like the grand inquisitor?

[@umungus518]

So jocasta was killed here and not by Vader later on after she returns to the temple and fights the grand inquisitior?

[@alexandergalarza9505]

That's sum deep dark story would love to see fully movie but meh oh well

[@andypeesto3567]

Ok now while I'm really enjoying this story but Jocasta wasn't killed by Vader during operation Knight fall it was later I think when Vader was trying to find a crystal for his sith lightsaber and Jocasta used an prototype light gun powered by a Kyber crystal in a lightsaber but she didn't die during Knight fall

[@Weeener]

Can you do a video about the battle of Muunilist

[@chrisreilly1290]

9:51 didn't she live to come back in the darth vader comic?

[@amandalorian4973]

I like how the comics, books, and games give anakin more emotion

[@Bigfootpetmobilegrooming]

I wonder how many clones fell during this raid. After the initial surprise I would imagine Jedi aren’t the easiest things to kill

[@murphyjack90]

Quite a lot, but all the best Jedi by this point were either dead or in the Outer Rim fighting the war. What you had left in the Temple were temple guardians, combat instructors like Cin Drallig, padawans whose masters were killed, younglings and non combat oriented Jedi like Jocasta Nu. Jedi weren't all they had either; the Temple actually had an auxiliary corps of non force sensitive paramilitaries that operate security systems and provide combat support during an attack. So it was a hodge podge of very good to mediocre Jedi and rent a cops up against the best damned army in the Galaxy, which outnumbered them by a wide margin. This was never going to end any other way.

[@BrickNBeyond]

All of this is legends right? Apart from some of the points like Shaak Ti etc. As Jocasta Nu survived and escaped Coruscant, returned to the temple to get the list of the potential future jedi and then encountered Vader and the Grand Inquisitor, later discovered Vader was Anakin and then died by Vader.

you forgot about master Kelleran Beq.

[@mr_fancybones4873]

Question in the bad batch when they return to kamino after order 66 as they enter the hanger you can see a jedi covered and being carried away and I thought it was shaak ti as she was the jedi who oversees the clone training but if she died at the temple who was at kamino and her dying at the temple in a deleted scene and I looked it up and it isn’t canon right? Idk how she died could someone explain lol

[@ImSomethingSpecial]

This story feels like I platyed it in the ROTS ps2 game.

[@nathanrios624]

I feel that the movie Miss showing more of the battle between Jedi and the 501 it would have been a impact of seeing to see so many Jedis fall under Darth Vader and the 501!!!

[@codeleblo2382]

Vader thinking of the rumor which made him a hero.

[@PinkLemnade]

I heard that at 5:45 the person who plays Zett is the son of someone important? i heard it was George Lucas's son but i think he'd be way too old right?
