Darth Sion: Immortal Sith Lord [EXTREMELY POWERFUL]

In today's legend's video, we will cover the story of the extremely powerful immortal Sith Lord, Darth Sion!
I believe Darth Sion was more powerful than many Sith before and after him, and even harnessed more rage than Darth Maul himself.

He is my favorite Sith, such a tragic and despicable being. I especially like how he was depicted as no more than a pathetic pawn manipulated by everyone, he was never in charge and he knew it. What I find more sad about his existence is that nobody remembered him, he never appeared again in the Legends Lore, it was either Traya or Nihilus despite being the Sith who dealt the heaviest blow towards the Jedi Order before the Empire and having the unique ability of true Immortality. Neither Vitiate nor Sidious managed that, their methods were unorthodox when comparing it to Sion.

One thing I enjoyed in the story was that all the major characters stuck to the theme of wounds. The Exile, Sion, Traya, and Nihilus all took power from their wounds and inflicted them on their opponents and allies alike. The difference between the Exile and the Sith was that she didn’t allow herself to fully surrender to her pain or grow obsessed with the Force to deal with it. Thanks mostly to Traya’s teachings and her allies, she started herself and the galaxy on a path to true healing.

[@samurayn7579]

Hes to angry for anger management

[@rhymenoceros3303]

I just love how in the end, you don't beat him by cutting him down no you beat him by showing him the futility of his anger. His anger had allowed him to survive for so long but he was never actually living. He had been so enshrined to rage for so long, to the pain, the misery, the slaughter, that he could not see any other way of living. But then came you, the Exile, a person who had lived through the horror, the pain, and loss and learned to live with it. You tell him he doesn't need to cling to his hate, to his rage. You tell him he can let go, that he can finally have peace. And for the first and last time, in a very long time, he does. He lets go of his hate and dies. Finally at peace with himself and the world. That's just so powerful to me.

[@blackshogun272]

Sion had to give himself something to believe in and in that duel with Meetra he was getting angry and confused by her true to heart words and persistent to get to Traya. I found it so heartbreaking that he felt his only option to save Meetra was to kill her and spare her the dreaded mind warping ways of Traya... Kinda reminds you of Darth Malgus killing his lover, Aleena, so that she wouldn't pose a threat (a weakness) to him or herself and used her death as a rage battery for future combat.

[@Elyseon]

Or ingame you can keep beating him until he doesn't get back up. Rather anticlimactic.

[@benjaminkeith1417]

"Man literally to angry to die." Exile: (Force Persuade) I love you. Sion: Yes. Exile: Kill yourself: and or die. Sion: Yes (dies). Exile: *He wasn't THAT angry.*

[@Mgauge]

Sion and Nihilus were designed to show the ultimate futility of the Dark Side. Both gained great, unnatural power with it, to the point where it simply wasn’t possible to kill them with sheer force, but it was all meaningless in the end. They were so consumed with anger and primal hunger that they had no ability to imagine an endgame beyond pointlessly repeating their slaughter and were so enslaved by the Dark Side that neither could live without it anymore. They were little more than puppets of the power they sought; reduced to monsters who exist solely to destroy, not rule.

[@danielelopezonlyonyoutube1678]

Kotor II had a cold feel to it where both the siths were not really human like grim reapers of death fueled by past events. I say cold because the characters felt distant but sharp like saber crystals in ice caves and there presence is known late game in force duels.

@K Korona Kreia is the fucking antagonist, and she's nihilistic asf, not a Mary Sue trait at all, and also she's wise and experienced, very calculating and logical, she just has some layers of plot armor, but nothing like a Mary Sue

[@ThePalaeontologist]

​@K Korona Hm, personally I think you couldn't be more wrong. Kreia is basically more of a grey/out of the ordinary character by Star Wars standards. While powerful in the force, she is no Yoda or Sidious as far as we know in strength. She earned her knowledge and strength over a long lifetime, as not only just a Jedi and then a Sith, but also as a more independent force sensitive jaded by both the Jedi and Sith Orders. She was, in a way, a lot more like Luke Skywalker in the sequel trilogy (not entirely, just in a few ways) Luke grew disillusioned with the Jedi, and being Jedi, thousands of years after Kreia had. Kreia had lived for decades as a Jedi (like Dooku had, for a comparison) before turning to the dark side - frustrated with the limitations of the Jedi (just like Dooku - though his reasons for abandoning the order were also political as well as ideological, whereas Kreia was more of a victim of circumstance as well as the backlash over the Revanists turning rogue as they followed Revan on an increasingly dark path against the Mandalorians, against the wishes of the Jedi Council) As a Sith Lady, Darth Traya learned even more about the force. Kreia later regarded Jedi Master Atris, as being like herself in a younger time. Blinded by the dogma of the Jedi and prone to making judgements based on a flawed ideology, and being in denial about things that contradicted them. So right there you see that Kreia herself admits to being limited in her past, not some champion of trying to take down the force. You see, Kreia's main motivating drive is to *kill the force itself* and yes it is what she wants and no she isn't necessarily wrong for trying. The philosophy of Kreia is a very complex and ultimately fascinating take on Star Wars, and there is literally a documentary on youtube made nearly 2 hours long, describing and analysing this philosophy and other aspects of her interactions with other characters in her time, going into far greater detail than I can here. Suffice it to say, that Kreia is ''red pilled'' on the issue about the force so to speak. She is one of the few characters in Star Wars to actually, properly see through the dichotomies of the force and interpret the real horror show, groundhog day which is constantly playing out over and over and over again ad infinitum. The grand irony - among many ironies regarding Kreia - is that on the one hand she is clearly a remorseless, heartlessly indifferent monster in so many regards, more than willing to indulge in any viciousness and murder to get what she wants (often through others she manipulates with a horrific ease) and *yet* she is also genuinely disgusted by the force itself. Though she is, ironically (another one of those many ironies I'm talking about) consummately talented in the force, on par with some of the greatest force wielders in galactic history no doubt, she is hellbent on finding a way to end the force. Kreia grew to understand that, in reality, the symbiotic relationship the force has with force users, may not be quite as mysterious as the Jedi and Sith had long believed. The ''great mysteries of the force'' which both orders had sought to discover, the great trials and tribulations both (and other non-Jedi and non-Sith) would go through to find enlightenment - perhaps all of it was merely incidental and in some cases even coincidental. Quite frankly, the force uses beings as hosts for it's continuation, as much as the beings harness it; and as Kreia suspected, far more than just that. She found it maddening and sickening that the force would constantly have light and dark rise to meet each other and produce endless, repetitive cycles of warfare in which untold billions would rise and fall with the tides of war and peace, life and death. Kreia understood that herself, and every other force user, were possibly just the drones of the force itself. The thought disgusted her. And more than that, the great irony implies that she had sympathy for the galaxy - thinking it would be freer and better off, without the force. To strip the force from the galaxy wholesale, to stop the endless repetitive cycle. To basically break the wheel of the force (to borrow a phrase from Game of Thrones - but Kreia is a LOT smarter than Daenerys Targaryen lol ; not even close) The wheel Kreia sought to destroy, was that of the dominion over the lives of all the people of the galaxy that it seemed to have. This abhorrent (to her) predictability, and fake-ness about everything. It was disillusioning to her initially and later became her fixation. She recognised that monsters like Nihilus and Sion, were capable of rising over and over again. She knew that if it wasn't those monsters, it'd be another set of monsters. But she knew, in spite of all that, that even they were victims of the force. After all, the Mass Shadow Generator had caused Nihilus to become what he was - and Sion's insane process of clinging to life through pain, was also abhorrent to Kreia. As Star Wars Theory in this video explained, Kreia would never have appreciated this positively about Sion and couldn't have been further from that line of thinking. Calling Kreia a Mary Sue is one hell of a stretch. She evolved many times in her long life, and trained the likes of Revan. She was hardly a fool jumping out of nowhere to be super powerful, like Rey for comparison. She earned her stripes as a Jedi, then as a Sith, then as an exiled blind woman apparently unable to use the force (when she was actually one of the few force users in galactic history to survive what she went through - that is, being forcibly stripped of the force by not only the Lord of Hunger Nihilus, whom was known to devour entire planets of life force, but the Lord of Pain, Sion too) Surviving what she did just barely, she not only survived but managed to retain a shred of her power and from that, slowly rebuild in her own way. Kreia was a very skilled and powerful force wielder, though as I say, she ironically would have preferred to destroy the force altogether. Like other ''grey'' force users, she has views developed with appreciation for different aspects of how to use the force. While mocking the Jedi, she doesn't entirely discredit them - she appreciates that big portions of their knowledge and learning, are valid. Valid, in the sense that in the grand scheme of things, their insights are worth something. She was a Jedi for a long time, after all, and no novice. She didn't just suddenly become the Kreia as we see her during her interactions with those in-game. She is basically a veteran, of multiple forms of force mastery (and of war) Yet you think she is a Mary Sue? I think she is a morally grey character whom is more than happy to risk the deaths of most of the living beings in the galaxy in the short term to ''save the galaxy from the force'' in the long-term. She goes way beyond the kind of depression and apathy that Luke had in Episode VIII. She is not only disillusioned with the Jedi dogma, but way, way beyond that. She is like, ''fuck this noise entirely'' and trying to *flip the table* not just change the rules of the board game she is playing (figuratively speaking) [1/2]

The Sith Triumvirate are truly amazing in their own right. *Darth Sion,* Lord of pain who drew from his countless deaths and injuries only to become stronger, literally held together by the dark side of the force and his will to continue. *Darth Nihlus,* Lord of hunger who consumed the force and life energy of so many Jedi that it could be said he was no longer human and was a aspect of the force itself *Darth Traya,* Lord of betrayal she saw the force for what it really is, and unlike any other Sith Lord sought to destroy the force itself. Because how could anyone truly be free of the cyclical and sadistic nature of the force if they continue to rely upon it so? I consider her to be the greatest of the Sith since she represents not only the death of the force... but also the deconstruction of the Star Wars Universe.

I actually thought Snoke was something like Darth Sion. Snoke looked like some undead alien or something and thought that maybe he was part of an esoteric cult that could greatly extend their life through sith magic, even if they end up looking like they are undead.
