Random Powerful Jedi Who Broke Bad And Turned To The Dark Sid (21 items)

• 

  (#2) Revan

  • Star Wars

  Revan was a controversial Jedi Knight who lived thousands of years before the prequel trilogy. He was the leader of a faction within the Order called the Revanchists, a group of Jedi Knights who decided to fight for the Republic during the Mandalorian Wars. The Mandalorians were a fierce enemy, devastating planets throughout the galaxy, and Revan had grown frustrated with the Order’s unwillingness to get involved in the fight.

  While Revan eventually defeated the Mandalorian forces and was hailed as a hero of the Republic, all of this fighting eventually led to his fall to the dark side. After the defeat of Mandalore the Ultimate, the Mandalorian leader, Revan traveled to the Unknown Regions of space to investigate a possible Sith connection to the Mandalorian threat. It was in the farthest edges of space he encountered a resurgent Sith Empire.

  When the Jedi hero of the Republic returned to known space, it was as a new Dark Lord of the Sith, ready to fight against his former allies.

  (#13) Allya

  Allya was a talented Jedi Knight who lived hundreds of years before the events of the film saga. At some point, she turned to the dark side and was exiled by the Jedi Order. They sent her to the planet Dathomir, a penal colony where she could be rehabilitated.

  Instead, Allya used her Force powers and influence to create a new matriarchal society on the planet and became the leader of a group of Rancor-taming women known as the Witches of Dathomir. They practiced what they thought was magic on beasts and the male slave population on the planet. The Nightsisters are descendants of Allya.

  (#19) Jerec

  • Star Wars

  Jerec was the Jedi Order’s foremost archaeologist during the days before the Clone Wars. While his pursuit of new sources of knowledge was perhaps noble at first, his obsession with learning the secrets of the Jedi and the galaxy soon led him to the dark side.

  The archaeologist spent all of the Clone Wars on a research mission in the Unknown Regions beyond the charted galaxy. He hoped to find lost Jedi artifacts in those deep stretches of space, but when he returned to what was once Republic space, he discovered there was no one left to report his findings to.

  Jerec eventually joined the Empire and became an Inquisitor, bent on hunting down the remaining Jedi. His obsession with knowledge only grew, which eventually sent him on a search for the Valley of the Jedi, which he believed would bestow great power to the person who found it. His search for it on the lost planet of Ruusan, the site of an ancient conflict between the Jedi and Sith, ultimately led to his downfall.

  Anakin Skywalker is easily the most infamous Jedi to ever turn to the dark side. Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn discovered young Anakin on the desert planet of Tatooine and believed the boy was the Chosen One who would finally bring balance to the Force. But there was too much darkness in Anakin, and the boy began training as a Jedi at a much older age than most Padawan learners. He was known to be capricious and reckless, and often disobeyed his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

  His emotional attachment to his mother, Shmi Skywalker, and his secret wife, Padme Amidala, eventually led him to the dark side. He slaughtered the village of Sand People who kidnapped and tortured his mother to death and joined the Sith in order to save Padme, whom he believed would perish during childbirth. In trying to save those he loved, Anakin only found more pain and eventually became the feared Darth Vader.

  (#4) Count Dooku

  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars

  Dooku was once a great Jedi Master, but he left the Order after becoming disillusioned with the corruption within the Galactic Republic. He became a member of the Lost Twenty, a group of Jedi Masters who had renounced the Order and its teachings throughout history. Despite having trained under Yoda, one of the greatest Jedi Masters of all time, Dooku still felt the pull of the dark side.

  He eventually crossed paths with Darth Sidious and became his loyal apprentice. With Dooku’s help, Sidious was able to fight against the Galactic Republic that engulfed most of the known galaxy. Unfortunately for Dooku, Sidious disposed of him as soon as he found a more powerful apprentice in Anakin Skywalker.

  (#8) Quinlan Vos

  • Star Wars

  Quinlan Vos was a brilliant Jedi Master and one of the greatest warriors to fight in the Clone Wars. His eventual fall to the dark side was heartbreaking to his fellow Jedi, especially because they were the ones at fault for Vos’s corruption.

  The Jedi Council decided there was enough fighting in the galaxy and sent Vos to find Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatists, and end him. In order to get close to Dooku, Vos was partnered with the villain’s former apprentice, Asajj Ventress, who was fueled by revenge after being betrayed by the Sith.  

  During their mission, Ventress persuaded Vos to tap into the dark side because she believed it was the only way to defeat the Sith Lord. This eventually led to Vos fully converting to the dark side after being captured by Dooku. Vos became a feared Separatist agent for a time but was eventually rescued by the Jedi, who rehabilitated him.
