Expanded Dossier
⬢ CURATED RECORDMalachor is a forbidden name to the Jedi: a dead grey world whose surface hides a buried Sith temple built around a superweapon that, millennia ago, petrified two armies mid-battle - the Great Scourge of Malachor. Cross-guard lightsabers litter its ash.
In 2 BBY Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger and Ahsoka Tano descended into the temple as Maul manipulated all sides to claim its holocron. Kanan was blinded by Maul; Ahsoka stayed behind to duel her old master, Darth Vader, as the temple collapsed - walking out, years later, through the World Between Worlds.
First appearance: Star Wars Rebels, 'Twilight of the Apprentice' (2016); name from Legends' Knights of the Old Republic II
