Acolytes of the Beyond

"What are you? You're no Jedi.''" "''We are adherents. Acolytes of the Beyond."

- Ooblamon and an Acolyte of the Beyond

The Acolytes of the Beyond were a group of dark side fanatics who existed during the Galactic Civil War. After the death of Darth Vader during the Battle of Endor, the Acolytes of the Beyond purchased what they believed was the fallen Dark Lord of the Sith's lightsaber, intending to return it to him in death.

History
"We are not violent. Not yet."

- An Acolyte of the Beyond

During the Battle of Endor, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader was killed after sacrificing his life to kill his Sith Master: Darth Sidious, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire. Several months later, the group known as the Acolytes of the Beyond were in contact with a junk dealer on the planet Taris named Ooblamon, who claimed to possess the red-bladed lightsaber that had belonged to the Dark Lord. Three Acolytes of the Beyond purchased the lightsaber from Ooblamon, intending to destroy it and return it to Vader in death. Ooblamon was unsure if it was Vader's lightsaber, but the transaction was carried out nonetheless.

Behind the scenes
The Acolytes of the Beyond first appeared in the 2015 novel Aftermath by Chuck Wendig.
