How The Sith Rose To Power | STAR WARS LEGENDS TIMELINE #3

Hello and welcome to part 3 of the legends timeline. So far we have discussed the creHello and welcome to part 3 of the legends timeline. So far we have discussed the creation of the galaxy and the rise of the Republic. We start this video 7000 years before the battle of Yavin, at a time when the Republic seemed unstoppable. There hadn’t been any galactic scale wars in many thousands of years and many new worlds such as trandosha, malestere and Elrood flocked to join the republics flourishing economy. Technology was improving at an unprecedented rate, with progress and enlightenment being the defining feature of this era. It seemed that the future was bright and peaceful. But unfortunately, this time of peace was not to last as two warrior like factions would soon challenge the Republic. And ironically, the most consequential of these factions would arise directly out of the Republics successes.
The progressive way of thinking that was dominating the Republic began to seep over to the Jedi order and many members began to question the Jedi’s isolationist teachings. Cosmic disasters, famine and disease still regularly wiped out entire planets and despite technological improvements many trillions of beings still lived in abject poverty. These Jedi began to use the force with the intention of improving the lives of those around them. Force organisations of the distant past had experimented with forms of advanced force healing, rapid plant growth and even immortality in a bid to aid the citizens of the galaxy. However, as we explored in part 2 of this series, many of these groups had been wiped out by the Jedi alongside Xendor and his legions of Lettow. These practices were suppressed and banned by the high council but knowledge of Xendor and his followers lived on. As a result of their desire to improve the galaxy, many of these Jedi began to sympathise with Xendors quest to explore the force, even abilities that had long been forbidden.
This group of Jedi, led by ajunta Pall, Xoxaan and Karness Muur began experimenting with the force, finding they could influence living beings to create creatures subservient to their will. These Jedi theorised that such powers could heal long dead worlds, end suffering and even end death itself. However, the high council reacted in a similar manner as they had to Xendor many years before, shunning them and declaring them heretical dark Jedi. Not wishing to give up their powers, the dark Jedi called on other Jedi to join their ranks in their quest to create a galactic utopia.
Despite their rallying cry, the dark Jedi were still few in number and stood no chance against the Jedi and their allies in the Republic. Using their newfound powers, they raised armies of animalistic creatures in the hopes of somehow achieving victory.
This war waged on one hundred years, with the dark Jedi seemingly always on the back foot. Their desperation led them further down the path of the dark side and during the second half of the war began creating fearsome abominations such as the leviathan to reinvigorate their armies.
Partly due to infighting amongst the dark Jedi ranks and also due to the brave actions of Jedi knights and Republic armies, the dark Jedi were eventually cornered on the world of Corbos. After sustained bombardment of the planet, the dark Jedi finally surrendered and the hundred year darkness was finally ended.
Despite calls for public executions, the Jedi and Republic instead ruled that exile would be a fitting punishment for these dark jedi. They loaded them onto transport ships and send them careering into the unknown regions. The Jedi and Republic believed that once again, the dark side had been quelled from the galaxy, but in reality their troubles were only just beginning.
The dark Jedi exiles landed on a desolate and war torn planet. This planet was of course korriban, the homeworld of the Sith species. The dark Jedi quickly used their powers and technology to overpower their king and took control over the already dark side inclined species.
Adjunta Pall, the most powerful dark Jedi, declared himself the first dark lord of the Sith, swearing that the Sith would one day destroy the Jedi and the Republic as retribution for defeating him.
Using advanced technology and powerful dark side techniques, the Dark Jedi transformed the primitive Sith Empire into a force that would one day threaten the entire galaxy.
Elsewhere in the Galaxy, another proud and warlike species was slowly growing in power. After being driven from coruscant by the precursors of humanity, the tuang had spent almost 200,000 years in exile on the world of roon. However, their obscurity was not to last.
Around 7000 years before the Battle of Endor, a warlord united the Tuang, claiming the title of Sole Ruler, or Mando'a in the taung language.
The united Tuang reembraced their warrior culture, claiming a jungle world in the outer rim.

This series is so underrated.

[@poptartz911]

2.9k views as of now on this series third episode is insane it deserves SO MANY more, it's so good

[@Starwarsnerd91]

Finally thank godcan’t wait to watch How often will these episodes come out

[@GXT_ROGUE]

It Fu*king sucks that these vids get little to no views 😔😢😢

[@JediSentinal]

honestly tho. Vaders fortress main channel kinda sucks, this one produces SUCH high quality videos! yet all the views go to the main shorts channel. 😕

[@GXT_ROGUE]

@@JediSentinal I wouldn't say it sucks, I like the shorts but yeh, the views should swap, definitely prefer the long form content

[@VadersFortress2]

Lol I kinda agree, ngl. Shorts can never get into the true depth of topics.

[@GXT_ROGUE]

@@VadersFortress2 Ik it's sad 😢, How's school?

[@ronjon7942]

Wait, the shorts get more views? That’s odd. VF2 should be having tens of thousands of views, it is so good. I’m chewing through his playlists right now, and this guy explains sooo frakking much! I swear, when I find a good Lore channel - and there’s a plethora! - these documentaries are as or even more enjoyable than fan films, game movies, comics, audios, etc. Nice work, brother.

[@josiahcochran8290]

Best series for Star Wars so far

[@timothycambron]

“I have been looking forward to this”

[@itsnotimportant0654]

Finally 🙌🙌

[@StripedWhite211]

I love you man these are so good. I haven’t read legends in so long these are awesome reminders of the story!

[@TeejR18]

Finally I’ve been waiting ages thought they were coming out every week but it’s to see it

[@TheEdog37]

Absolutely stunning history. This is Tolkien level, which means Disney tried to make Tolkien material while utterly ignoring Tolkien’s source material. This my friends, is true canon.

[@larryroberts3598]

This stuff predates the Disney buyout

[@muhamedquraishi]

Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MCLegend13]

Love the lore of legends can’t wait to see Revan he was an epic character. When’s the next episode coming out?

[@VadersFortress2]

Next few weeks for sure. Its about Revan so want to make sure its perfect

[@ronjon7942]

Yeah, I can’t wait to get to the Revan episode…#6 or 7. I’ve developed a bit of a man crush on Revan, after watching a SWKOTOR or SWTOR game movie…where he takes out Acceron, Valyan/Vilyan (spelling?), and Valkorian. I’m eager to learn if that was a true story or not.

[@sillymovieeditors356]

Can't wait for Part 4!

[@VadersFortress2]

Today!

[@GXT_ROGUE]

Love Vitiate, 10000% better that palpatine

[@1qplayer626]

True vitiate is the goat ❤❤❤

[@ronjon7942]

I never cared for Palpatine; but I’ve noticed there are very, very few theater film characters I like. And I’m sorry to say it’s mostly the actor’s or actress’ look or performance that really kills them for me. Sidious definitely has his own vibe, but maybe I just got to know him too well with all his dialogue that he lost his ‘otherness’ (as in holy…but not) attitude. Plus I’d prefer more of a suited up warrior type. When Sidious is fighting, he looks like a crazy old man. Also, he clearly personifies evil…but he really doesn’t do anything all that evil, at least matter of factly. The only thing that comes to mind is when he taunts Luke (one of my ‘ruined’ characters, btw) with his fully operational DS2, and takes out an Alliance capital ship. I’d like to see him regularly torture prisoners, execute enemies and prisoners but gruesomely, do some serious dark worshiping with sacrifices - you know, make him actually DO evil. Kinda like how I’d expect Malgus or Malak to behave on a day to day basis.

[@JediSentinal]

long term i hope VF2 surpasses the shorts channel as frankly the shorts channel is meh (to me. im not a fan of shorts.) at best, and the longer lore videos you make are top notch! this channel deserves so much more, amd hopefully it gains the following it deserves in the years to come.

[@VadersFortress2]

Thanks man means a lot. I too enjoy the deep dives into Star Wars lore!

[@ronjon7942]

Agreed. This guy is too good for humble me, but I’ll take em! I feel the same about shorts - for me they’re just for a quick break after a series of docs like VF2. Is there a way to transfer the playlists to VF, and steal those eyeballs? Your work is too under viewed, and fans are missing out on really good content but they just don’t know it.

[@kingaxolotl4085]

🤩👍

[@aronmakan]

Whens episode 4 coming out???

[@VadersFortress2]

Coming out today. Sorry about the delay!

[@larryroberts3598]

Mando'a was the language. Mandalor was the leader

[@ashwinramani6696]

When the Nathema spell was cast, Visiiat was known as Tenebray. Darth Tenebray is the original name before being known as Valcorian or Tenebray.

[@ronjon7942]

How or why did he change his name? Did he ‘take over’ two host bodies of those names? And is his name spelled ‘Vishiate’ or ‘Vitiate?’ I think ‘vitiate’ means ‘to make corrupt,’ ‘spoil,’ or ‘invalidate.’ Edit - ya, guess it’s Vitiate. Guess I could also look up the names you mentioned - thank you very much for bringing them up. I’m fairly new to SW Lore and this MASSIVE set of storylines are overwhelming.

[@ashwinramani6696]

@ronjon7942 His name changed because he essence transferred to someone known as Valcorian and Vitiate.

[@ronjon7942]

Wait, the Mandalorians thought in the afterlife, they’d be with their war god and take their families with them?? As in when a Mandalorian dies in battle, of old age, gets hit by a bus…, their families get killed as well? Wtf??

[@Starwarsnerd91]

How do you find this stuff out is it comics or book

[@StripedWhite211]

Not the creator but both of those

[@The_JediArchivist555]

I think the SWTOR codex entrys

[@The_JediArchivist555]

When is the next one coming?

[@VadersFortress2]

Today

[@JayStephens8]

When’s part 4?

[@VadersFortress2]

Tomorrow or the day after most likely

[@ntm0756]

@@VadersFortress2love to see it

[@harisharvind7118]

i cant even understand what sw legends is but i watched the all the disney sw projects and its shit...soo i wanna know about legends..can i take these series as chronological orders in the legends timeline?

[@ronjon7942]

I am - he has this playlist numbered sequentially, and he’s narrating to the OR timeline. Or am I misunderstanding what you’re asking?

[@VigilanteMind]

I've been listening to these videos while I work and Kathleen Kennedy screwed the pooch when she said she had "nothing to pull from"

[@billloney2567]

When you get around to the Clone Wars, please leave out Dave Filoni’s retcon series and cover only the Multimedia Project alongside AOTC and ROTS

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

This Is something Dave filoni and Disney star wars writers aren't brave and talented enough to do, make stories about the sith and having them as main characters and let them win , at least George Lucas let the sith win in revenge of the sith

[@lexibyday9504]

video said next week... four months ago... Must be a dead series. Thats a shame.

[@VadersFortress2]

Sorry for the delay. Coming out today
