How so? The prequel trilogy is far more Roman influenced than The Old Republic era stuff...

I love this time period in Star Wars so much, more so than the prequel, old trilogy or new films time periods. The Darth Bane book trilogy rule of two are some of my favourite Star Wars books and I re read them every couple years, plus some of the further back old republic books too. So good.

[@JaketheMovieGeek]

Besides Darth Bane trilogy, what books + other media do I need to get inorder to get into the Old Republic era? I've always been wanting to get into that era.

The Old Republic is the PINNACLE of story-telling IN Star Wars.. Especially the KOTOR games.

[@affebanane3039]

What are the books you read my green little friend?

[@Geo35z]

Jake 117 it’s hard because I was first introduced to that period in the KOTOR games on the first Xbox and then I played the old republic MMO, gave me a good understanding of that era of Star Wars. They are dated games now but if you like that stuff check them out for sure, think the first KOTOR is even available on the App Store now. There are some decent books on the old republic as well such as “Deceived” by Paul S Kemp, Darth bane which I already mentioned and “Star Wars Old Republic Annihilation” some of my favourites on the old republic. Disney have recently re released the comics from dark horse about the old republic called “Star Wars Legends epic collection: old republic” which is what this video is taking the stories from, they are really really good and I would recommend checking them out. They are up to the third volume release now. Also watch some of trailers they released for the old republic MMO before it was out, they are like mini animated movies and amazing quality, just type in old republic trailers on KZbin. Hope that helps ! I still live in hope Disney will make movies on the period.

[@davidnguyen3469]

@@insanefanta8025 There's a push, not just by Disney mind you, for inclusion at all costs and strong female characters. It's not that either of those are bad inherently, but the way they are forced upon the audience is. Rey is a Mary Sue, Dumbledore is gay and Ciri is black. None of those examples would exist out of the context of the agenda. And just for clarification why those specifically are bad, Luke's story and its characters suffer because of Rey's arch, Dumbledore's orientation plays no significance to the overall story, and Ciri's change of ethnicity breaks the established lore. So I'll repeat again, it's not the ideology that's bad, it's the forced integration.

[@judeskater93]

Revolver Ocelot it'd be a touchy element to work with, but in the hands of the right writer it could be interesting to watch, probably like "the boy with striped pajamas" times ten. I'd honestly like to watch it along with something similar like the old republic tale of the Jedi covenant slaying their padawans to prevent the sith from returning.

[@Muramasa1794]

[@Erik-px1me]

What if Mace Windu trained Obi Wan (DEW IT)

[@Fulcron13]

Great Legends Video. I have a two questions Theory. Are Sith Lords considered Sith gods? Like are they actually Sith gods like in Mythology? I feel like Star Wars was also a Mythology universe and not just some "Sci-fi" universe as many and many people say it is. And another question. Can you do a What if? Here's mine: What If Exar Kun survived during the War of the Jedi and Sith? What would happen if Exar Kun manages to transfer his own spirit into Luke Skywalker?

[@DarthNoox]

Oh you’re definitely right about the mythology part. Look at Vitiate, aka The Sith Emperor who had such power that it made both Jedi and Sith ally with one another to stand against him. He even proclaimed himself to be a God. Star Wars is in my eyes just as much of a Sci-fi universe as it is a Mythology universe

[@Fulcron13]

@@DarthNoox Hmm. Fair enough. Vitiate, I believe, should be very powerful in the force, in fact, I think he's like, maybe, solar system level? Or Multi-solar system level? I seriously need to work on my physics. Anyways, to me, I see Star Wars as more than just Sci-fi, I see Star Wars as a meaning. A meaning of hope, a meaning of whatever comes in our way, a meaning of victory and meaning of how Star Wars relates to this cruel world. A Star Wars inspired by a lot of Mythologies, and how Mythology of Star Wars connects to the society today. Star Wars is its own Mythology in a Mythological, fantasy universe that binds us fans (cough except toxic ones cough cough) together. I still think Sith Lords are like Sith gods, inspired by many Mythological gods. Ex. Sidious once said in a novel book of Plagueis, that he was death itself. Seems to me he might be inspired by Thanotos, the greek god of death.

[@darthbane3937]

There is a fanfic series called galactic exodus chronicles where rebels find Exar on Yavin and he comes back to life then. They are working on another series but there are 2 here with the second having over 700 thousand words. Personally I'd rather Bane or Vitiate come back to life though.

[@SonofSethoitae]

Apparently the initial Dark Jedi under Ajunta Pall were regarded as gods, and the veneration of Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow's domination of the Massassi suggests that Celtic significance was given at least to the Dark Lords. It appears to have disappeared when the Sith species was functionally wiped out as a living culture; while their knowledge of the dark side survived, the future Sith abandoned most of the unique cultural practices of the Sith species, probably because they were mostly non-Sith fallen Jedi.
