Great Schism | Wookieepedia | Fandom

This article is about the in-universe conflicts. You may be looking for the comic Jedi: Mace Windu, which was republished under the name Schism.

Great Schism referred to several different events that led to wars between traditional Jedi and Dark Jedi.

Schisms in history

First Great Schism — Led to the Legions of Lettow^[1]
Second Great Schism — Led to the Hundred-Year Darkness and the exile of the Dark Jedi to the worlds that became the Sith Empire^[1]
Third Great Schism — Led to the Vultar Cataclysm^[1]
Fourth Great Schism — Led to the New Sith Wars and a large Sith presence for a thousand years^[2]

Although the Great Schisms were started by splits in the Jedi Order, which led to war or a great calamity, neither the Great Sith War started by Exar Kun nor the Jedi Civil War started by Darth Revan were termed Great Schisms, though they were instigated by factions from the Second Great Schism (Marka Ragnos^[1] and the Sith Emperor,^[3] respectively).^[1]

Behind the scenes

The third and fourth schisms remain largely untold. Their main appearances have been mostly in reference books such as the Essential Guide series. The fourth was first mentioned in the novelization of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and was originally based on background notes from George Lucas for the prequel trilogy.
