Jedi brute



Jedi brutes were Jedi charged with guarding the Jedi Temple alongside Jedi snipers and Jedi gatemasters.

Overview


At a young age, physically intimidating Padawans with a penchant for lightsaber combat were selected from the pool for special training. They were then trained in aggressive combat tactics and the use of a double-bladed lightsaber, and were trained to master Ataru, Shien, and Soresu

Jedi brutes were allowed to feel the emotions love and anger to a limited level, as it was sometimes required in combat. They were known to have worked closely with the Temple Security Force.

History
Many Jedi brutes were present at Operation: Knightfall in 19 BBY. Most were slain by the new Sith apprentice Darth Vader, but some survived and went into hiding.

Behind the scenes
Leland Chee describes the term "Jedi brute" as a gameplay term for a type of enemy, as opposed to an in-universe term used by the Jedi.
