Mission to Malachor

The Mission to Malachor was the last decisive event undertaken during the Great Jedi Purge, occurring during a mission by Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger as well as Ahsoka Tano, and the astromech droid Chopper to the planet Malachor to seek knowledge that would help them defeat the Sith and their Inquisitors. During the course of their mission, the Jedi came into conflict with the Inquisitors of the Galactic Empire but were aided by an unlikely ally, the former Sith Lord Maul. Joining forces, Maul and the Jedi worked together to obtain a Sith holocron and to plant it in the Malachor Sith Temple's obelisk.

However, Maul then turned on his allies and blinded Jarrus with a swing of his lightsaber. The Jedi' problems were further complicated by the arrival of the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who had come to take the secrets of the temple for the Emperor. Together, Jarrus and Bridger managed to remove the holocron from the temple's obelisk, which triggered an implosion that damaged much of the temple. While the two Jedi escaped on the Phantom with Chopper, Tano stayed behind and confronted her former master, dueling him as the temple collapsed around them. With Tano assumed dead, the Great Jedi Purge of the Imperial Era came to its conclusion. However, in fact Tano had survived the implosion.
