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

• 

  (#7) Ulic Qel-Droma

  • Star Wars

  Ulic Qel-Droma’s story is about as tragic as they come. He was born into a family of Jedi. His mother was powerful in the Force, and so was his brother, Cay. It made sense, then, when Ulic joined the Order and fought in the Beast Wars on the planet Onderon, which was ruled by a royal family that worshipped the dark side. Later, Ulic was part of a mission to defeat an evil cult known as the Krath in the Empress Teta system, where he witnessed the demise of his master.

  A grief-stricken Ulic swore to avenge his master and embarked on an undercover mission to infiltrate the Krath and wipe them out. However, Ulic fell to the dark side and became the new leader of the cult. When his brother tried to stop him from committing any more cruel acts, Ulic slew Cay in cold blood in front of all of his former friends. Eventually, he became Exar Kun’s Sith apprentice.

  Nomi Sunrider, one of his former friends, was forced to sever Ulic’s connection to the Force, leaving him powerless and broken. Ulic lived out the rest of his days in exile.

  (#6) Ben Solo

  Not much is known about Ben Solo’s fall to the dark side. We do know that from a very early age, Luke and Leia both sensed a lot of Darth Vader in him. When Luke decided to train a new group of Jedi, he took Ben under his wing in the hopes that the young Solo would embrace the light side. But the pull towards the dark was too strong. Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order finally corrupted Ben and turned him into an agent of evil.

  Ben became the masked Kylo Ren, leader of Snoke’s Force-sensitive Knights of Ren, and committed atrocious acts across the galaxy, including wiping an entire village on Jakku, obliterating the Hosnian System, and slaying his father, Han Solo. He even took out his master, Snoke, on the way to becoming Supreme Leader himself. After all that, Kylo seemed beyond redemption, but after being wounded by Rey, he abandons Kylo and embraces Ben, becoming a swashbuckling hero in the process.

  (#18) Phanius

  Phanius was a talented Jedi Master who was renowned for his intelligence and charisma. However, he was also very self-centered and individualistic, traits that were highly disconcerting to the Jedi Order (and for good reason). His beliefs eventually led him away from the Jedi and to ancient Sith knowledge, which he used to reorganize a dark side cult as the beginning of a new Sith Empire.

  The former Jedi took the name Darth Ruin and convinced other Jedi to join him, causing a schism within the Order. Ruin’s reign led to a new series of conflicts between the Jedi and Sith, plunging the galaxy into 1000 years of darkness.

  While Ruin’s reign didn’t last very long (he was taken out by his followers), his influence was felt throughout the galaxy for an entire millennia.

  (#10) Barriss Offee

  • Star Wars

  Stories in the Legends canon portrayed young Barriss Offee as a talented Jedi healer who served valiantly during the Clone Wars. The newly established Star Wars canon, however, took Offee’s story in a different direction. After becoming disillusioned with the steps the Jedi Order were taking to end the conflict and growing increasingly aggressive in the process, Offee decided to take matters into her own hands. She executed a bombing in the Jedi Temple that took out many Jedi (and clone troopers) in the hopes this would cause a rift between the Order and the Republic.

  When Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice, was wrongfully accused of the deed, Offee did not come to her aid and confess. Instead, it wasn’t until Anakin himself confronted her that Offee finally revealed that she had orchestrated the act. She was marked a traitor and detained for her acts.

  (#1) Darth Vader

  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Making of Star Wars, Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Benchwarmers, Once Upon a Jedi, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Young Wonder, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Holiday Special, Star Wars

  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.

  (#16) Darth Krayt

  • Star Wars

  A'Sharad Hett was the son of a former Jedi Knight who later became the warlord of a tribe of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. It was inevitable, then, that a little darkness flowed through Hett as well. While he spent much of his young life fighting alongside the Jedi in the Clone Wars, he was eventually forced to abandon the Order after Emperor Palpatine’s Order 66 brought about the eradication of the Jedi.

  For a while, Hett worked as a bounty hunter, until he made his way to the ancient Sith planet of Korriban. There, he was turned to the dark side by Dark Lord XoXann. Many years later, the Sith resurfaced under the leadership of Hett, who had become Darth Krayt. His cult of Sith followers brought about the destruction of the New Jedi Order. It wasn’t until a descendant of Luke Skywalker named Cade confronted him that Krayt was finally defeated.
