But when they arrive on the planet , they crash several miles from the Sith temple and are forced to walk there in order to retrieve the Sith Holocron .

Eventually , the duo just barely make it to the Sith temple , but Obi - Wan can go no further because the closer they get to the Holocron , the stronger the dark side is to Obi - Wan and weakens his power . Obi - Wan is finally able to get into the Temple and destroy the Holocron , taking a crystal with him out of the temple as it collapses because of Obi - Wan ' s presence .

However , nearly every full - scale war the Republic had fought up to that point had been between the Republic and the Sith , which an educated senator such as Organa would probably be aware of .
