Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Jurokk was a Human male Jedi Master and Gate Keeper of the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant during the Clone Wars, having risen to the position by 22 BBY. On the afternoon of 16:5:22 in 19 BBY, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker revealed to Jedi Master Mace Windu that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. Jurokk, along with fellow Master Shaak Ti, was tasked by Windu with the defense of the Temple while Master Windu and three other Jedi attempted to arrest Palpatine. Some time later, Jurokk approached Skywalker at the Temple Gates, asking what had happened to the Jedi Masters, before noticing thousands of clone troopers approaching the Temple behind Skywalker. Skywalker, however, had turned to the dark side and had become Sidious's apprentice, taking the moniker Darth Vader. Vader stabbed his lightsaber through Jurokk's head, killing the Gate Master and making him the first victim of the ensuing massacre in the Jedi Temple.
