The Fall of the Jedi Era of Star Wars Explained in Under a Minute | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: The Fall of the Jedi era of Star Wars begins about one hundred years before the events of A New Hope, and lasts until the end of the Clone Wars, in the year nineteen BBY. During this time, the long-forgotten Sith Order begins to secretly rise in power once again. The events of the High Republic era change the Jedi and the Republic, leaving them more and more open to manipulation and corruption. The Jedi decommission the several outposts they had across the Outer Rim, and become more isolated and centralized on Coruscant. Bureaucrats and greedy politicians multiply in numbers inside the Galactic Senate. The Sith Lord Darth Sidious maneuvers his way into the position of Supreme Chancellor, and orchestrates several crises that push the galaxy into full scale war. The Jedi are put on the front lines of the conflict and are eventually wiped out by their own troops. With no one left to oppose his rule, Sidious turns the Republic into the first Galactic Empire, and liberty dies with thunderous applause. As Emperor of the galaxy, he takes on a new Sith apprentice, the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker turned Darth Vader. But Skywalker’s two children are taken into hiding by two surviving Jedi Masters. This part of the timeline is, of course, defined by the prequel trilogy films and The Clone Wars animated series. #starwars
