The Church of the Ganthic Enlightenment represented a religious body that operated throughout the Galactic Empire's imperial era. A one-time Jedi Master named Eeth Koth functioned as a priest within the church, where he performed wedding ceremonies and funeral services, while also claiming to offer tranquility to individuals. Ultimately, however, Darth Vader, the Sith apprentice serving Emperor Darth Sidious, located Koth and ended his life in a lightsaber duel.
The initial depiction of the Church of the Ganthic Enlightenment occurred within Darth Vader (2017) 19, a canon comic book from 2017 that was penned by Charles Soule and visually rendered by Giuseppe Camuncoli.
