I like how the og jedi order tried to balance the dark and light side, maintaining moral ambiguity. That shit was fire and there were like no conflicts. It is only after they pushed their bullshit moral fascism that war and genocide became common.

[@marinusvonzilio9628]

​@@davedavidson8208 Focusing too much on the poster and not on his point. Your "nevermind" part is wrong. Have you actually read anything about the early Darksiders? I will go on a limb and guess the answer is "no". The early Darksiders were not actually advocating learning solely the Dark Side, instead they were in favour the balanced approach of the previous Je'daii. Take the Legions of Lettow. Xendor was a high ranking Jedi who was dissatisfied with the Jedi Order outright forbidding the study of the Dark Side. He attempted to gain the Order's blessing in studying it (note how he did not go all civil war on them) but was denied every time. Eventually, he just left the Order and established his own academy at Lettow (again, note how he did not go all civil war on them). His academy prospered and it was then that the Jedi Order decided this must not be allowed to stand (and by "this" I mean having people approach the study of the Force in ways contrary to the Jedi dogma). The Jedi were the ones who amassed an army and attacked first (interested to hear how your moral compass would try to justify this). Xendor actually tried to make the war as brief as possible to minimise bloodshed (again, because I like pointing these things out, note who is doing, as you would put it, the morally right choices here). The Jedi eventually gained the upper hand and pushed the Legions into Republic space (at the time the Order and the Republic were not officially aligned). This push was deliberate on the part of the Jedi since they wanted the Republic to ally with them against the Legions. It was Xendor who tried to stop the conflict from spilling into Republic territory and even tried to warn the Republic, but the Jedi got there first and were successful in getting the Republic to brand Xendor as a rogue warlord. In the aftermath of the conflict Danzigorro Potts, a young Jedi who served in the war, concluded that the Jedi Order needed a common enemy on whom they can concentrate and thus prevent the Order members from turning on one another. Interesting that the "good guys" would need such glue to keep them together. It is almost like morality has nothing to do with it. After that, any further push to study the Dark Side was met with instant hostility from the Jedi. It did not matter how non-violent or reasonable a request may have been, it would be met with force. The Jedi literally created their own worst enemies. What you prattle on with all that moral talk are the Sith, and the Sith are a direct result of Jedi bigotry and fanaticism. The fallen Jedi who would create the first Sith were more radical than Xendor's Legions, and over time the Jedi would push them into more extreme radicalism. Take the old Sith Empire. It was a warlike, almost Klingon-like society, but it did have its fair share of level heads who pushed for neutrality with the Republic and avoiding open war, so the Sith were hardly a force of pure evil at this point. The warmongers prevailed and started the Great Hyperspace War, and in the aftermath what did the Jedi and the Republic do? When victory was already theirs, when the Sith were utterly defeated, what did the "moral" Jedi do? I am guessing you do not know (because again, you would not prattle about morality if you did). The Jedi and the Republic ordered the extermination of the Sith (not just a sect, but an entire species at this point in history). It was after this genocide that the Sith were pushed into becoming ruthless, genocidal, bloodthirsty fanatics, hellbent on revenge against the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order. The Jedi literally created the Sith, by persecuting those who sought to learn about the Dark Side, by making said persecutions harsher and harsher as time went on, and by outright committing genocide against those who refused to bow to the Jedi dogma. The Jedi are fanatics, and they pushed their opponents into becoming just as fanatical. Both the Sith and the Jedi are extremists, and when you think about it, both have an unhealthy mindset. Most people are not wholly evil nor wholly good, but are in between. By opting for just one extreme end of the spectrum, regardless which end that is, both are making a mistake. And this is not even "good vs evil" when you think about it, but more "extreme emotional repression vs extreme emotionalism". Bloody hell, almost every sect that challenged the Jedi Order originated from within the Order itself, that in itself should speak volumes. As for your idea that the Dark Side corrupts, it is impossible to state such a thing for certain. Early Darksiders were not bloodthirsty fanatics and actually sought a balance of both the Light and the Dark side. Later Darksiders were more fanatical and often unambiguously evil, but I would argue that was after they started clinging exclusively to the Dark Side with just as much fanaticism as the Jedi clung to the Light Side. Plus, by opting for the Dark side they basically branded themselves as material for the Jedi to purge, so that they would almost automatically become ruthless or even downright cruel is not really that hard to understand. The Sith were almost always badly outnumbered by the Jedi, plus the Jedi had the whole apparatus of the Republic at their disposal, it does not surprise me in the least that the Sith would turn out the way they did in the face of such odds. And even then, it was not entirely a given that a Sith would go bad. Case in point, Darth Vectivus, who was the Dark Lord of the Sith during the time of Bane's Sith Order. He was a Darksider, a Sith Dark Lord no less, but he retained a strict moral compass to the end of his life. When Jacen Solo, the future Darth Caedus, was first told of him, his reply was that he never heard of the guy. To that he was told "that's because he did no evil. He didn't attempt to conquer the galaxy, try to wipe out the population of a star system, or start an all-out war with the Jedi. He just existed, learned. Died of old age, surrounded by family and friends." Lumiya was using this example to sweeten Jacen's transition into the Dark Side, yes, but the thing is, she did not lie. That really was how Vectivus lived and died. I always found it baffling how a puritan sect hellbent on suppressing basic human nature and not above playing extremely dirty when the situation calls for it can be regarded as having the moral high ground. The Sith were not the good guys, but neither were the Jedi. Both are extremists and both are wrong.

In Legends, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was never built on top of an old temple to the dark side. That was something invented by Filoni and after the decanonization of the old EU when he was asked about what TCW was going to continue to be about. Unless you're talking about Yavin 4, in which case you would be right.

[@readable95]

Grand Admiral Thrawn not true exactly, when Luke goes back to Corsuscant he finds a dark side presence there. I could be wrong but I feel like his guess was it existed previous to the old Jedi order’s fall. This is in the yuzhan vong story arc

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

@@readable95 That's not exactly true either. What actually happened was that Luke and Co. went to a Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant because Luke had "a feeling" and found an extremely old and powerful walled off Neutral Force Nexus buried at the bedrock layer under the old Jedi Temple. This was neither a dark or lightside Force Nexus, and had been walled off to contain the raw power from flowing outward for untold eons. There was no temple.

The similarity in the name Je'daii and Jeedai make me suspect a connection. The Followers of Bogan are never seen again after around 25,000BBY. All other Darksiders stem from the Jedi/Ashla thousands of years later. What if the Bogan, with their practice of Alchemical Fleshshaping, fled the galaxy to Yuuzhantar, built a new society, and went so far out of balance that they lost the Force like the Rakata? Then, having destroyed their world, and losing much of their history, they began a exodus *back* to the GFFA, where they invaded, fought the Jeedai, and were exiled to Zonoma Sekot, the child of Yuuzhantar.

Legends is the only true canon It had the same combination of mystery and adventure as the original trilogy. It had wonderful characters you loved as heroes and despised as villains while many who were neither remained memorable.

Rogue One and the Mandalorian notwithstanding.

[@dildonius]

A lot of that stuff could easily be reinstated. Disney had no choice but to wipe the slate clean, because there was just too much stuff out there for them to have POSSIBLY been able to work around. As things progress, they will very likely reinstate various aspects and components of Legends into the main Canon once it becomes clear that those things will not conflict with their new stories. They already have done this to some extent. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, all the Legends stuff that does NOT directly conflict with the current main Star Wars canon is itself canon until such time as it begins to come into conflict with the various new canon stories...

@@wilberdebeer4696 you dont know what exclusivity means

[@mr.lewismissionsierratkd3388]

If only the legacy era was what Disney would make movies of. Oh the possibilities

[@damarglover6363]

I'm afraid they would Trainwreck that

[@silentdrew7636]

Later. They have to get past the immediate consequences of the original trilogy first.

[@Numba003]

I’m happy to have this comprehensive history all in one concise video! Jesus Christ be with you friend!😊

[@sweufan]

Good job on the video, I really enjoyed all the EU material up to the Vong Invasion.

[@greensgaming4456]

Appreciate an ad thats actually like the content. Still waiting for raycons

[@TheWingland]

What would have happened if UNSC had defeated he covenant forces and captured the forerunner fleet in Halo Wars instead of destroying the ships?. #askeck

[@connorross4571]

Yes!

[@adarkwind4712]

That’s dependent on how fast they could learn to control them. Cause I guarantee you the covenant aren’t taking that lying down and they don’t have the firepower to take on something like the unyielding hierophant, which I’m sure something like that would be sent there if not that itself to, “cleanse their filth.”

[@mcstompwaffle]

ADARKWIND I know it's a month late, but I can't resist. Forerunner technology was designed to be used almost immediately upon activation by humans, and also made to be as easy for a human to use as possible. Not only that, but it was coded into human DNA to understand forerunner equipment. The fleet was made for the humans to claim. When they were ready, they were to use them to uphold the mantle they'd inherited, as well as eventually discovering the Domain and every other Forerunner artifact left behind. The ruins of the Forerunners are the birthright of the Humans. Forerunner ships were immense in power. They were faster, tougher, stronger, bigger, and more advanced than Covenant ships. It was said in Halo 2 that, had Truth lead the Keyship to Earth, the defense fleet wouldn't stand a chance. This is that keyship, bur repurposed for war and multiplied a thousand fold. Not only would Humanity suddenly have technology superior to the Covenant, they'd also have a fleet with the strength to push the Covenant back to Harvest. They likely wouldn't even need to push them back, as the Forerunner technology would allow them to travel to any Forerunner installation around the galaxy they pleased, removing any limits of movement from Humanity, and allowing them to glass, disorient, and annihilate the Covenant.

[@adarkwind4712]

Mcstompwaffle this is a misconception as while they have shown to turn it on they have many more times shown they have no clue what they’re doing. Moreover unless specifically handled by the librarian and her life workers to be able to do so it is not true that it was made for their ease of access. Especially considering how many times we are told in the lore that she was an anomaly among her species in her way of thinking and that more of them were prone to the original Didacts’ line of thought that humans were inferior and had no right to the mantle. So again my point stands if they have the time to learn and understand the tools left behind they have a chance. However seeing as all covenant tech has some basis in forerunner tech it is just as likely they figure it out.

[@coinkidink9997]

The Old Republic era is the best and the most badass

[@JALENACE]

why is legends content so much better than the movies

[@joedemelfie5509]

I have never watched a video like this about star wars lore. well done. thanks. I didn't ask for it but glad I watched. very interesting history.

[@KuDastardly]

"Jeedai"? Not Jed'aii? Speaking of which, I'm surprised there was no one throughout Star Wars history who thought about trying to restore the Jed'aii order all these years.

[@mando9974]

I love yur channel Eckhart and I’ve always wondered where did you get the channels name.

[@aralornwolf3140]

He answered that question somewhere... I can't remember where, lol. Might have been on his 500k subscriber video or community tab... *Shrugs*

[@reedcoffman3210]

I know the ladder in his name comes from a movie called jacobs ladder and I think the eckharts is just something justin thought of

[@isamohammed150]

Sometimes, I just watch the videos of this channel to skip to the end and see that dog with the music

[@Finn_7117]

You should do some cannon lore

[@almostsapien]

Cool story Eck, cool story. Keep it up homie!

[@lordvindictive7661]

All I caught was General Constipants. The super up-tight, slightly constipated MAN!

[@benruniko]

Honestly i love the souls-like bits of fallen order, except for the fact it often feels like im swinging a swimming noodle around instead of a lightsaber lol.

[@Sackofballs101]

Eckhart... Ek... CLONE TROOPER ECHO!!!

[@leathery420]

Man the Jedi Order logo looks a lot like the Brotherhood of Steel's logo. I wonder if there is influence there, or it's just a coincidence.

[@twalls792]

Jedi are badasses

[@theimps9023]

You should so a video about the sith exiles

[@cmdrscully]

@eckhartsladder I double checked past videos before I asking this. I would like to suggest doing a discussion video on the different Sith Philosophies, as I believe a few have popped up over the course of Star Wars history (I count atleast 4 or 5 [Tepends if Treya's order counts as a separate philosophy]). I think it would be an interesting video. Perhaps maybe even discuss how they seemed as concepts vs practical, and, if they were long lasting, whether they were more effective at creation/necessary for the time than when they were by the end.

[@DatAsuna]

Slight correction on the Revan and Malak part, the same source that says Vitiate dominated them to his will also says they fell to the darkside before ever going to malachor. They were both dark jedi by the end of the war, dromund kaas merely briefly aligned them with the sith after they already fell.

[@iamkaisar3507]

Fantastic video. Great detail

[@haladmirknowsbest]

I really wish Disney would allow legends to continue, keep their canon the way they want but give the fans stories that are actually good

[@emzonik8851]

It will happen, when storygroup changes...and some of the disney executives.

[@ChiefKene]

I enjoyed this video. Great content Eck.

[@nomercyinc6783]

dig these longer videos compared against 7 minute videos.

[@diegoandrade467]

Even as powerful as Luke was, I doubt he could even go toe to toe with someone like someone from the the Force Wars.

[@Iorvethfox]

I got SWJ: FO last week, wish I knew earlier that you had a code so i could support you :/

[@pastorcodymitchell1456]

I LOVE UR VIDEOS SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

[@jpfitness2242]

We should deny Disney's canon and take the old EU now known as Legends back. This should be a movement with t-shirts and everything. Since Lucas left SW in incapable hands we the fans need to take it back.

[@Delete240]

Good luck with that😂

[@ericgarcia6326]

I was about this video! Really liked it!

[@winesgone]

You know the channels good when you smile because they’ve got sponsors!

[@thebiglich]

You know a channel is shit when they have an epic connection

[@The_Borisaurus]

Nah, it's worse because he's promoting a game for "ONLY $59.99," by the Epic Store.

[@Qelmthraw]

Nobody ever wants to go in depth about the legacy era. So much content
