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."

- Palpatine, to Darth Vader

Following a duel between Mace Windu and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who had just been revealed as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin Skywalker swore himself to Palpatine and the dark side of the Force. Skywalker, who was given the name Darth Vader, attacked the Jedi Temple on Coruscant with his 501st Legion of clone troopers. The attack, along with the execution of Order 66, led to the near-destruction of the Jedi Order. Vader and his clones killed the Jedi within the temple, including younglings.
