Anakin Skywalker in the tomb of Ulic Qel-Droma, inside the Jedi monument
During the Clone Wars, Separatist forces attacked and eliminated a Republic outpost situated on the planet Rhen Var to allow access to the Jedi monument in search for information pertaining to the Dark Reaper, a superweapon of ancient Sith creation.[1]
During a later engagement, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi led the Clone Army to recapture the monument. Anakin penetrated the temple after the outer defenses were destroyed, and had to prove himself by defeating a trio of spectral guardians. After the ordeal, Skywalker communicated with Ulic Qel-Droma's spirit and learned how to survive the effects of the Reaper.[1]
