Hey Reader! 👋

The Jedi Temple Guards have always been a mystery to me. Cloaked in anonymity and trained to protect the heart of the Jedi Order, they seemed unstoppable. But when Order 66 struck and the Temple fell, they were… gone. No dramatic last stands, no mentions in the chaos.

It’s like they vanished into thin air.

Curious, I started piecing together the story of these silent protectors. What I found? Shocking. Some of them stood their ground and fought valiantly, but others had a very different fate—one of them even turned to the dark side, becoming the Grand Inquisitor. 🤯

How does a defender of peace end up hunting Jedi?

It’s a story that’s tragic, and I can’t wait to share it with you.👇

Where Were The Jedi Temple Guards During Order 66? 🤔

Even someone as powerful as Palpatine had figures in the Sith Order he admired and learned from.👇
