In the wise words of Yoda, 'The greatest teacher, failure is.' This sentiment rings true as many Jedi characters have faced irredeemable falls or committed acts resulting in grave consequences.

7 Nahdar Vebb

The Impatient Knight Who Met His Demise at Grievous' Hands

Nahdar Vebb, a former Padawan under Kit Fisto, met a tragic end in his pursuit of becoming a Jedi Knight. His passage of the Jedi Trials barely prepared him for the encounter with General Grievous on Vassek 3, where overestimating his abilities led to his demise and a grievous loss for the Jedi.

6 Barriss Offee

The Jedi Knight Seduced by the Dark Side

Once a Padawan of Luminara Unduli, Offee's disillusionment with the Jedi ideals led her down a path of darkness, culminating in a betrayal that shook the Order. Her inability to see beyond her resentment towards the Jedi exposed her vulnerability to the seduction of the Dark Side.

5 Pong Krell

The Jedi Consumed by Ambition and Betrayal

Pong Krell's descent into infamy stemmed from his thirst for power and his callous treatment of the Clone Army. Forsaking the Jedi teachings, he embraced a darker path, leading to catastrophic consequences. His betrayal and hubris not only cost him his life but also tainted his legacy among the Jedi.
