Attack on the Jedi Temple

"First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate; show no mercy."

- Darth Sidious, to Darth Vader

Following a duel between Mace Windu and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who had been revealed as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin Skywalker swore himself to Palpatine and the dark side of the Force. Anakin Skywalker, was given the name Darth Vader, and was then ordered to attack the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Vader led the attack on the Jedi Temple with his 501st Legion of clone troopers. He did not stop until even the Younglings were destroyed. He later left to tell Padme of the situation, and the troops continued the attack independently, taking down Zett Jukassa and warding off Bail Organa. The attack, along with the execution of Order 66 on other planets, led to the exile and extermination of the remaining Jedi.
