Malak: I cannot deny your resilience. You survived my first betrayal, thanks to Bastila's interference. You escaped the destruction of Taris, and you escaped me on the Leviathan. You even survived my attempt to destroy you along with the Star Forge itself. Fate and destiny have conspired to keep you alive despite all my best efforts: they have thrust you into the role of savior. We have been inexorably push this final confrontation, Revan. I see now that this can be only settled when one of us destroys the other. Once again, we shall face each other in single combat... and the victor will decide the fate of the galaxy!

There's a character in Rogue One that was Taris's Senator. Her name was Tynnra Pamlo

"If the Empire has this kind of power, what chance do we have?" "The blood of all Taris will not be on my hands. If it's war you want, you'll fight alone!" -Tynnra Pamlo Solidifying the fact that Taris does not produce what most would call "good" people, I mean there were others having doubts in the same meeting but she straight up went "F- this sh*t" when hearing about the Death Star.

So taris is canon😳😲

[@johndoe-cv8pr]

Star wars Legends Canon is the only real Star wars Canon.

[@Zamppa86]

So basically Taris was somewhat 'a mini version of Coruscant' before the bombardment which made it somewhat like Raxus Prime(the waste planet seen for example in The Force Unleashed).

[@freddymcshreddy6586]

I kinda like playing the intro of KOTOR and immediately going to Taris on TOR just to see the night and day difference between the almost Coruscant like aesthetic and obliterated wasteland.

[@Quasar634]

Yes, in SWTOR there's a quest in which they describe Taris as the Coruscant of the Outer Rim

[@Kyfas7]

Ah that cursed place. Taris in one planet I don't particularly enjoy playing through (in swtor) mainly because I have to chainsaw my way through hordrs of rakghouls. I did not know about it's history in movies era! That was interesting. =)

There are two shining moments I’m Taris in swtor The first is the time you can leave in the second happens before that but it’s one thana vesh has her “accident” How was I supposed to know that my airway knockback could actually knock her off of the only platform in a galaxy to have hand rails. It didn’t work on 90% of the other places that had handrails And by that logic you can’t prove that I pushed her. But if I did it would’ve been the sole redeeming feature of Taris.

[@afder7]

@@100StarWars well I had great time while being there on my Jedi Knight playthrough, it was so awesome to come back to the planet again and I did appreciate the amount of Easter eggs there a lot though

[@GentlemanJacque]

I always liked Taris, it has it's moments with scenery and music that I look forward to when re-visiting the game. I remember playing Kotor for the first time and feeling so happy for the people of the Undercity when I gave them the datapads to find the promised land. "Yes, go! Go and find your paradise away from this." Only to then stare in horror as Malak blew everything to bits.. It was nice to know they survived, at least for a time.. I also noticed it myself for the first time replaying the game recently, the "glitch" where the player party is just standing there in the background 0:01.

[@Ninja-bl4pp]

I know right. When I first played I would always play early in the morning so ambient and chilling. They should not only remaster but remake the old republic and fill it with Easter eggs and information from the books and the comics. Without the new generation ruining the game of course preferably the original makers of KOTOR.

[@Dragontalon486]

I remember the planet being in the first Star Wars: Empire at War game and the Historical Profile when you loaded a battle on the planet stated that sections of Taris were rebuild but it never reached the glory that it had before Malak Destroyed it. It also made mention of the theory that Swoop Racing was founded on Taris but no proof was ever found due to the destruction.

[@hexazalea]

The one thing I learned clawing my way across taris in SWTOR is that Mallak really couldn’t do anything right and didn’t bomb taris enough. Next time it needs to be bombarded until the crust has been peeled off Shot into orbit and then slowly starts to fall back onto the planet bombarding it for hopefully a third time. My republic characters hate it imperial characters hate it And the only reason why my imperial characters hate it more than my republic characters do is simply because the damn republic characters got a party it up on the goddamn Balmora while I was stuck on the Hell scape that it is Taris. Taris is so bad That thana vesh Somehow managed to slip and fall into the pit at the Polaris spaceport keeping in mind that this is one of the few places in the galaxy that has hand rails to prevent people from just falling off the cat walks. How does someone do that? How does somebody just fall off the one OSHA compliant walkway in the entire galaxy? And before you say anything you can’t prove That I pushed her with the shockwave ability that inquisitors. You can prove That her dying is the sole redeeming feature of the planet but you can’t prove that I killed her unless there’s a reward in which case It was me With AOE knock back right to the pit.

[@TheCynic]

the nostalgia of walking through Taris and listening to that music, being called a shlummy and told to "stand aside if you know whats good for you", cant be replaced

[@HolyknightVader999]

Actually, yes. In Empire at War, which takes place during the Galactic Civil War, Taris is a city-world once again. Not only that, but the populace is strongly pro-human, which meant the Empire was able to secure their loyalty. I remember sending Stormtroopers accompanied by civilian militia against the alien gangsters who took control of Taris. It was a glorious sight.

Another fascinating and informative video my friend. I did see the destruction of Taris by Darth Malak but it was from KOTOR Movie Saga's videos, sorry to mention that again my friend. I didn't know anything about what became of Taris after Malak's destruction of the planet. It's fascinating to learn that they tried to rebuild the planet but it took a long time to accomplish that. I was intrigued to hear that Taris had no part in the Clone Wars era and was occupied by the Galactic Empire

The maps for Taris and Dantooine were very unintuitive. I got lost so many times before learning how to read the map, and I even kept a save game after those points to restart from so I would never have to play through those again when I wanted to try a new playthrough.

[@timonsolus]

I don’t understand why the Old Republic would consider the world worth rebuilding. Especially since doing so risked spreading the rakghoul plague throughout the galaxy. It would have been safer to quarantine the ruined planet forever. My preferred solution would have been to eradicate the rakghouls with a biological weapon (at a time when no sentient beings were left on the planet.)

wish Bioware would make a player home stronghold on Taris for swtor there's so much skyscraper buildings they could use

[@CultOfSol777]

Taken from Wookiepedia: "The rakghouls began as creations of Karness Muur's Sith magic, but scratches or bites spread the plague-even to Force users like you." ―Celeste Morne to Cade Skywalker "Rakghouls were a type of Sith-spawned mutants, engineered by the Sith Lord Karness Muur. Desiring an army to rule over and seeking a way to cheat death as so many other Sith before and after him did, Muur forged a talisman that he poured his spirit and power into, one that eventually came to be known as the Muur Talisman. Muur's talisman could turn almost any sentient being near him into a mindless rakghoul which he could control, but he found that there were exceptions: Force-sensitives and certain alien species could resist the talisman's effects. Thus, Muur engineered the "rakghoul plague", a virus-like disease that could be spread by a rakghoul's bite or a scratch from its claws, and that subjected the victim to a slower transformation into a rakghoul. Jealous and fearful of his power, Muur's Sith rivals killed him, and over time, the Muur Talisman came to reside on the Outer Rim world of Taris where the rakghoul plague ran rampant throughout the world's impoverished Undercity, creating vast numbers of rakghouls. The people of Taris would manage to put an end to the rakghoul presence on their world at some point prior to the year 19 BBY, and by the days of the Second Imperial Civil War, rakghouls were believed to be extinct."
