At 32 BBY, there were approximately 10,000 Jedi roaming the galaxy. By 19 BBY, there would be barely a 100. This is their story.
________________________________
32 BBY
Darth Sidious began his plan by ordering the Trade Federation to blockade Naboo with their massive warships. The Queen of Naboo then contacted the Senate and asked for help from Senator Palpatine. He then informed Chancellor Valorum who in turn dispatched two Jedi to investigate the blockade.
These Jedi were promptly escorted to a room and served drinks. In a few minutes however, the Jedi's ship was destroyed and their room was filled with poison. After escaping, they fought through numerous droids until they arrived at the hangar. They then snuck aboard the landing craft and made their way to Naboo.
The tide had turned, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon had rescued the Queen and had escaped from the planet using her personal space yacht. After a delay on Tatooine where they picked up a boy with an astronomical midi-chlorian count and had a brief but brutal battle with a Sith, they arrived on Coruscant.
After pleading her case to the Senate, the Queen, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and the boy Anakin left to go retake Naboo. When they arrived, a Gungan native called Jar Jar Binks helped secure an alliance between the people of Naboo and the Gungans. They thought up a dangerous plan, the Gungan Army would meet the droid army in open conflict while the Queen tried to take back Theed by capturing Nute Gunray. The plan worked, but only after many Gungans were killed and Anakin Skywalker miraculously destroyed the Droid Control Ship in orbit.
But on their way to the Viceroy, Darth Maul appeared. Both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon began to fight him, but by the end Obi-Wan was the last one standing. This would be the beginning of the fall of the Jedi Order.
