How the Sith DESTROYED the Greatest Jedi Temple In All of Star Wars

[@vitorpereira9515]

In the Expanded Universe Sith were capable of causing supernovae. The expanded universe is the true Star Wars home of wonder and excitement.

[@michardav]

Exactly, that's why I scoff when people claim Sidious was the most powerful (or second) Sith Lord.

[@goldpuro1624]

@@michardav u dont know how powerful he actually was then, in his legends reborn form he was able to create force storms which is one of the most powerful force abilities which so far if ur caught into one u wont survive it no matter how powerful u r unless its user allows u to survive it, and plaplatine was the only sith who was able to create from literally everywhere in the galexy on any location he wanted

[@michardav]

@@goldpuro1624 Yup as opposed to destroying an ENTIRE STAR. If he could destroy even a planet, why did he need the Death Star?

[@natesmith9387]

[@techfu582]

@@michardavI’m just going to guess, but those storms consumed a lot of Force energy from him. Palpatine grew stronger when he relished in the pain and suffering of others. Just as pain and suffering hurt Jedi. The Death Star was a weapon. If he could create multiple of them and deploy them around the galaxy, he could cause galaxy-wide pain and suffering without needing to expend his Force energy. He would just sit on his throne and consistently grow more powerful. The more life he took, the more the living would fall into despair, the more powerful he would grow. Plus, this is purely just my own imagination, but while Palpatine was already extremely powerful, his knowledge was also beyond impressive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had knowledge of ancient Force/Sith abilities he wanted to experiment/try but they probably required massive amounts of Force energy to perform. It’s possible he was collecting that energy to perform even more tragic and demented feats that were never said aloud.

This deep dive into Star Wars lore made me tear up. I'm truly sad to see what Star Wars has become today.

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

The Library of Alexandria was said to have over 1 million scrolls. Most were lost to the fire of an ignorant Roman legion. It's disheartening but seems similar to this.

[@TheStupendousWave]

Yep, this story is based on that.

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

​@TheStupendousWave, I'm not surprised. Do you think it also relates to the book-burning by the Nazis in the World War II era? It seems suppression of information and ideas is imperative for a fascist regime.

[@Iron936]

First of all the library Alexandria was not burned on purpose, by the Romans it was not a target ,it caught fire during the battle somehow, it was held by the Egyptians during most of it. We don't know exactly how it happened, this known, and its loss was regretted by Caesar. Secondly it is also known specifically which books the Nazis burned, but its never taught in your public school history classes, for a reason. The allies destroyed far more records, books, and literature when they conquered Germany than the Germans ever did, and that will never be taught in school either.

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

@@Iron936 , that's historically been in dispute. Regardless, it was burned during a Roman assault on Alexandria. I doubt they'd turn their own scrolls, garnered over hundreds of years, into a pyre. And Nazis burning any books, in my opinion, is not ok.

[@venkelos6996]

"...became the stuff of Legends"; I see what you did there. 😊 Random as this might seem, I want to thank you for so frequently making content that relates to Legends continuity, and the EU. I don't just want to sit here, and crap on Disney Star Wars; that happens enough, but this stuff is MY Star Wars; the material I loved, and loved to nerd about through college, and later, and since there are some people who don't like "fan fiction", and woykd say that this stuff isn't canon, so it doesn't matter, this helps me to continue to enjoy one of my favorite verses, and hobbies, no matter what else the modern day, and modern fandom, might be doing. Thank you! I'm always a bit shocked at how much the Jedi speak about balance, when they could hardly be more out of balance than they are. I can appreciate that, if they had to focus, they elected to focus on the Light Side, but much like I often wonder what the Jedi imagined the Chosen One would do to "bring balance to the Force", when the Sith were assumedly dead, and gone, and there really wasn't another strong Dark Side tradition they feared, I wonder what balance they felt they had, in the Force, that so totally excluded a whole half of it?

[@ozmozis6073]

Thank you for this expose on how the Jedi knowledge fragmented. What is old, is new again. I'm happy that the knowledge wasn't discovered till Luke, as Sideous would've done much worse than his predecessors to the knowledge. The other thought was that Luke could've accessed the 'world between worlds' and either entered the portal to that knowledge or remotely viewed the knowledge and recorded it, for his time period. Nothing in the Force is truly lost and the knowledge should've been able to be retrieved...

[@Gor85]

This is so sad. Very sad. Tragic story of beautiful library. It's good Jedi returned sometimes. To gather something what they could. It's great Luke returned with his apprentice. Nice Luke found lightsabers of Master Bendar😊It's great he found many scrolls and books😊I agree with the comments. This reminds of the Library of Alexandria. And National Library of Belgrade in 1941,destroyed by German bombing. Not saved in time. One charred book remained. Nothing. So much history,wonderful text,book,scrolls,historical data. This was done on purpose. It had nothing to do with the war.I think the Sith would be destroyed. Thanks so much for this. May the Force be with you too. Have an amazing day too😊

[@johnnyslaughter3826]

I would like to say that if the clone wars jedi had found this treasure trove that things would have been different. However, the dogmatic view and political atmosphere.That was the jedi council would have probably just locked the information away to be studied later and slowly. Too slowly to have made a difference. In which case, after palpitating took over, he would then have access to this, and Luke would have never found it

realy interesting, I have a important question though, do a super nova explosion make the hyper lines in the area dangerous etc for a period of time afther the explosion? considering that the jedi did not even return there shortly afther to see if there was anything left afther the massive event that happend. if that is the case and its damaged for centurys or milenias aftherward i can see why the jedi basicly did nothing to explore the area beliving it was all gone afther the super nova and then the 100s of years of time wearing down the buildings etc. Luke was looking all over the galaxy for knowledge about the ancient jedi etc to rebuild the order to be better than what it was during the clone wars, and we do see from other holocrons you have revealed to us that he did allow some study of the some assets of the darkside more in line with the ancient ones but nothing close to we see with the ancient je'dai order some 25 000 years ago.

[@russrichardson991]

As at 1:51, as well as 4:00, calling what binds all life The Force vs The Dark Side is canon. There is no true Light Side of The Force; the Sith take a small but powerful segment of The Force to its extremes. Balance means returning The Force to its natural state. There’s a reason that episode 6 is called Return of The Jedi rather than Revenge of the Jedi. That’s my two cents, anyway.

[@CrisjoseCruz]

Ppl complain about Disney but legends has tons of fan fiction that contradict Lucas’ canon. Like the fact you can’t dabble in the dark side without falling to it. A balanced Jedi makes no sense canon wise

[@moblin625]

From past to future Jedi orders should the clone wars air of Jedi Masters considered masteries with how bad they did has compared to the rest of the order s

[@Valkyraw]

and there are still people here arguing that palpatine was stronger than vitiate "because vitiate only uses rituals and magic" while it is estabilished that Sith Sorcery and Rituals are the greatest powers a Sith can achieve. Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane believed that beings with a true affinity for Sith magic were few and far between. To him, Sith magic allowed an individual to channel the dark side with maximum effect[7] in ways that he, even as the prophesied "Sith'ari,"[21] was unable to do.[7] "A rare few have a natural affinity for the dark side itself. They can delve into the depths of the Force and summon arcane energies to twist and warp the world around them. They can invoke ancient rituals of the Sith; they can invoke power and unleash terrible spells and dark magics." ―Darth Bane[7]

[@t.j.armendariz354]

The new Jedi were right though balance is the light and the dark is imbalance like a saucer balance the top of a needle, the cyst, trying to knock it off not all dark abilities are intrinsically bad, or even the manor in which of the dark side is fueled but the dark side itself is intrinsically bad

[@richardsloan6567]

When the Jedi took over from the je'daii it unbalanced the force so greatly it created a wound in the force which directly lead to the living force creating the Sith to restore balance. In Star Wars The living force wants to exist in both the light and the dark equally never truelly favoring one. So since the Jedi fell apart and reformed as the light only loving Jedi it hurt the living force and the will of nature to the point the Sith arose with the help and full blessing of the living force. The Jedi might be "less evil" then the Sith but they totally went against the will of the force so hard it lead to most of the evil that happened next. My point is basically the Jedi was the single worst thing to happen to the Star Wars universe.

But for someone who has read the books and comics it seems more like one interpretation and can be seen in other ways.

@@Troy211 I like them as well but for some reason I prefer this one. Plus Stupendous Wave isn’t necessarily 100% opinion based. He pulls a lot of information directly from source material, even word for word quoting some of the books without pointing it out, just something I picked up on. I may be wrong but it’s always seemed to me that his opinions here largely address gaps in information or inconsistencies between the Disney Canon and Legends lore.
