About The Lost Twenty

The Lost Twenty

The Lost Twenty is a phrase that refers to the number of Jedi Masters who have voluntarily renounced their commission in the Jedi Order over ideological differences. Count Dooku is one of these, the most recent at the time of Attack of the Clones. The Jedi Order keeps busts of the Lost Twenty in the Jedi Archives, apparently as an acknowledgment that the Order is imperfect and cannot satisfy all needs. The only other known members of the Lost are Chon Actrion, possibly Ulic Qel-Droma, and Phanius, who would later be known as Darth Ruin.

Leaving the Jedi Order does not inherently make one a Dark Jedi. However, without the guiding influence of the Jedi Council and their fellow Knights, some members of the Lost Twenty, like Phanius and Dooku, have fallen to the dark side of the Force.
