List of Vader's Jedi Captures/Kills

I know there's a topic for a list of Purge survivors, but what I'm asking for is slightly different- I'm looking for a list of Jedi Vader PERSONALLY hunted down and captured or killed, or at least helped in doing so. With notation if it's only an assisted kill, like some of the Jedi during Operation: Knightfall and some of them at the Conclave of Kessel. I'd also like to note any Dark Jedi Vader took on at any point, that would be helpful as well. See, I'm trying to get a list and see how Vader stacks up compared to the other great Jedi killers of all time.

I'd compile the list myself, but college isn't affording me the time I'd like, and it's driving me nuts trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance for the help!

And also, sorry if this DOES belong in the Purge Survivors thread. It was a total judgement call.

 

That's a pretty tall order there.

How many Jedi did Anakin Skywalker kill in "The Hunt Begins" level of the Revenge of the Sith video game? That's got to be the largest source of them ever but I never did an actual head count.

Are those canon or are they considered a function of game play?

I think it was like sixty.

Here's a rough draft. It's by no means meant to be comprehensive and I welcome anyone mentioning anything I've forgotten.

Confirmed Kills

Count Dooku (Fallen Jedi - Revenge of the Sith)
Gate Master Jurrock (Operation: Knightfall)
Jocasta Nu (Operation: Knightfall)
Serra Keto (Operation: Knightfall)
Cin Drallig (Operation: Knightfall/Revenge of the Sith)
6 Unidentified Younglings (Revenge of the Sith)
Bene (Revenge of the Sith)
Whie Malreaux (Revenge of the Sith)
Zabrack Jedi (Star Wars Rebellion: The Ahakista Gambit)
Siadem Forte (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader)
Iwo Kulka (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader)
Roan Shryne (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader)
Sia-Lan Wezz (Purge)
Shadday Potkin (Purge)
Ma'kis'shaalas (Purge)
Koffi Arana (Purge)
Tsui Choi (Purge)
Sha Koon: (Purge 2)
The Dark Woman (Star Wars Tales)
Sardoth (Fallen Jedi - The Ahakista Gambit)
Axton Tredway (Jedi's Honor)
Obi Wan Kenobi (A New Hope)
Echuu Shen-Jon (Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns)

Number of Jedi: 29

Unconfirmed Kills

Mace Windu (assisted kill with Emperor Palpatine - probably doesn't count/Revenge of the Sith)
Unknown number of Jedi Knights and Apprentices (Revenge of the Sith video game)
Bultar Swan (Killed only because of the actions of Darth Vader/Purge)
Jastus Farr (killed by Stormtroopers while Vader distracted him/Purge)
Gira (comitted suicide after Vader ordered the destruction of a bunch of his padawan clones - This should probably count by Sith standards as Vader was the one who convinced him to do it/Tales)
Unknown Number of Padawans (see above/Tales)
Jedi on Toola (Only speculated to be Vader's work - The Courtship of Princess Leia)

 

Is Vader the most prolific Jedi killer in history? Or would that go to Grievous or someone else? Except that we don't have that many confirmed kills by Grievous. The title can't go to Palpatine because he didn't physically kill the Jedi. His machinations did, but he didn't physically pull the trigger.

So who has killed the most Jedi individually?

 

Well, it sure isnt Grievous. That is just plain ridiculous EU material IMO. He may have had a few lucky strikes, like when he killed Shaak-Ti in the cut content in ROTS.

I think Vader is very close though..

Do you blame Hitler for killing the Jews? Or is it the soldier who execute his orders the one who`s responsible?

I would say both.. But everyone blame Hitler, and Palpatine is in that same category.

 

Palpatine (gatekeeper of him, anyway) refers to Vader as "the greatest Jedi killer of all time" in JvS:TEGttF.

Whether that includes his being the most prolific Jedi killer of all time is, I suppose, debatable... but I assume Palpatine knows his history.

EDIT: Scratch that, it wasn't a gatekeeper. It was from the writings of Palpatine himself:

"Of all the monsters I have created, I still regard Darth Vader a something of a minor masterpiece. No, he was not an entirely alchemical creation, but he was my monster nevertheless. Even though he failed to live up to his full potential, there was much pleasure in transforming Anakin Skywalker from a bright-eyed, tousle-haired youth into the greatest Jedi killer of all time. Yes, he ultimately turned against his Master, as monsters sometimes do, but that was my fault, not his. Given the opportunity to create Vader again, I would, and with zeal."

 

Well I don't think making Nazi comparisons for the Jedi's destruction really is a very good idea.

Be that as it may, Palpatine is certainly the most successful Jedi assassin of all time. The only Sith who had any real equivalent success were Darth Revan followed by Darth Malak and then the Sith Triumvirate. That purge also started with about 1/3rd or so of the Jedi Knighthood joining them, so it wasn't exactly a casualty-less conflict either.

I do note that Darth Vader's kills are all pretty high end ones (with the exception of those younglings). He's achieved a lot of victories over very skilled masters in one-on-one duels. I always liked Purge because it shows that Vader can DOMINATE up to three Jedi at once but it doesn't make it ridiculous that he could defeat a host of masters in a Zerg Rush.

Add in the unconfirmed kills of about 60 or so Temple Jedi and we've got Vader at close to a hundred.

I think 29 Confirmed Kills is nothing to sneeze at. We got an exact count of Ventress' Jedi Kills in Yoda: Dark Rendevouz and that was only seventeen. Even then, none of her kills really matched Vader's own. Aurra Sing also had a lightsaber collection that, totalled together, I think was only about 8 or 9. I'm not sure about General Grevious' kills, his lightsaber collection was also pretty small and Palpatine had a vested interest in portraying him as larger than life.

 

Thanks for the start! I have to get to class in an hour (class doesn't start for another hour and a half, but I have to get there early enough to have time to study for the test I have today), otherwise I'd scour Wookieepedia myself; I'm pretty sure at least the "There's too many of them!" kid got a name in some source or another....

That, and I seem to recall a number of Jedi Masters you fight as Vader-kin in Battlefront II during the Operation: Knightfall retread.

Off the top of my head, though, I can confidently to the confirmed kills- Gate Master Jurokk, in the ROTS novel, seeing as I JUST got done reading that.

Anyone think they can help me skim the Great Jedi Purge article? It's got a couple of pretty in-depth lists (Order 66 casualties and survivors), but I won't have time to do it myself until I get home later tonight.

Yeah, someone did ask this question in the Purge topic. We have a partial list, though it's all post-ROTS.

There's also an unknown number of Jedi given up to Vader by Halagad Ventor who Vader hunted down and killed. That doesn't do you much good, though, numbers-wise.

Oh, and Drakka Judarrl from Galaxies escaped but her master was killed by him.

You can also add in Evasive Action: Recruitment, Vader kills all but four of the prisoners, all former Padawans and Agricorps. The most we see is twelve, so there's at least eight he takes out there.

 

Sorry, Charlemagne- must've missed it. As I said, I was in a hurry.

Anywho, managed to finish my test faster than I thought, so I'm back online. Sors Bandeam is actually the "There are too many of them!" kid. In fact, they ID'd one of the other Younglings, too, so that should take the total down a bit.

EDIT: Also, weren't Garen Muln and a few others the victims of turbolaser fire from Vader's Star Destroyer, rather than direct combat? I seem to recall he tracked them to a hidden asteroid base and just BDZ'ed them to death...

 

Wow nice list! The only other one I can think of is Kento Marek's master.

 

Well I'm not going to update it every other post.

But yes, that would take the total down to 37 with the loss of those two you mentioned.

Drakka Judarrl's Master is on the list though, so it's 38.

However, I don't know the incident you're talking about, I just added _Catherine_ work there. It's why I'd like everyone to mention the source of the casualties. Until someone can mention who was killed by Vader's Star Destroyer and be removed from the list, I'll keep it at 38 though.

Halagad Ventor's list, though, goes onto "Unconfirmed kills" since Vader acquired the information to locate them but it could have been Stormtroopers or Inquisitors or whatnot. For example, Vader located Shaak-Ti and others he sent his Secret Apprentice after but didn't bother to dispose of them himself.

 

Okay then- I'll see if I can update it FOR ya, save you the time!

Updating sourcing as well- for the Revenge of the Sith-ers, including if they were Operation:Knightfall, and in which incarnation of ROTS they appear in, if only one.

Also following your notation for if they're from Operation: Knightfall, even for other sources, like the Zabrak Jedi in the Akahista Gambit.

In addition, some of these, like Aiden Bok or Ranik Solusar, are only mentioned as killed by Vader in sources that take place after the fact; I'll go by the first time their deaths are mentioned.

Finally, I'm wondering if we should have a section for Captures such as Halagad Ventor or Maimed/Defeated for people like Empatojayos Brand. Thoughts?

Anywho, here's the updated list- turns out they named three of the ROTS younglings. 38 total- though I admit, it IS late, so I may have missed some or miscounted. Someone mind running over the numbers for me?

I don't think we should count pure Sith like Darth Maul.

Otherwise, we may get into very odd areas like killing the child of the leader of the Quasi-Jedi/Sith group from I, Jedi.

Just my .02

But very nicely done!

 

n/m

 

Tao also would count if we're counting Maul.

Despite being taught by Vader.

Are we counting corruptions? Then he's got a few more.

 

Not sure if Tao is canon- he almost got canonized in that one article, but the Mangas got rereleased under the Infinities label in the UK (much to my anger- I LIKED Tantive IV, since it gave us the clearest picture of what Jar Jar was up to in the post-ROTS period! ).

Also, yeah, corruptions should be added, and I think we need a section for defeats if not flat-out killings. Quite a few fled before Vader could deliver the coup de gras!

Anyone mind helping me add the new sections on there?

Olee Starstone escaped from him in The Rise of Darth Vader.
Jax is another Jedi that comes to mind that escapes.
And of course the son himself.

 

There are only 36 confirmed Jedi kills on that list. Though Drakka Judarrl's master, not on the list, would make 37.

I think I had something else to post, but now I don't know what.

 

Sorry, forgot we removed Maul and the other guy.

So yes, 37.

 

The worst was the Jedi in Purge... Vader just brutalized him for nothing. Sids even 'raised an eyebrow' over it. I wonder, how many Imperials he killed? The first level of Kashyyyk certainly doesn't count.

 

Oh yeah, Dama Montalvo. Guy had it rough.

 

On a related note.

So, what does the list "as so far" tell us about Darth Vader's skills as a Jedi killer?
