Star Wars: 10 Secrets Of The Jedi Temple You Need To Know
5. 20 Jedi Abandoned The Temple
Two millennia after the Jedi Temple was forged, Phanius became the first Jedi to abandon the Order. Consumed by resentment and rage, Phanius embraced the Dark Side and took on the title, Darth Ruin. He rallied other Darksiders to his cause and convinced 50 Jedi to join him and storm the Temple. Although he was defeated, The Order were left rattled, since the incident proved that respected members of the Temple could be corrupted.
For the next two millennia, more and more Jedi found the Order to be too stiff and dogmatic, compelling them to walk away from The Temple they once swore to protect. Not all of them turned to the Dark Side but Order members, especially Yoda, were disheartened to see their brethren lose their faith. In the end, 20 Jedi abandoned their post in the Temple, earning them the moniker, The Lost Twenty.
The last Jedi to leave The Order is also the most infamous - Count Dooku. After he realised the Dark Side was more in tune with his own beliefs, the once respected Jedi became Darth Sidious' disciple, Darth Tyrannus.
