How this Sith Emperor Created a Beautiful Utopia- Eternal Empire Explained

How is it possible that potentially the most evil man in all of Star Wars lore, someone somehow despised by even other Sith, successfully created a seemingly powerful and flourishing society built around his power and worship. How did this Sith achieve the seemingly impossible....peace.

Stupendous Wave coming through to make a good Saturday even better. Much love, big dawg. Also, Valkorion is a killer character.

[@biglawngnome]

THANK YOU for finally explaining what in the hell Valkorion actually is. The Vitiate/Valkorion thing always just breaks my mind, I think I understand it better now. But we still need a video fully explaining the Vitiate/Valkorion thing, it's confusing as hell🎉

[@Althar9809]

Yes Vitiate created a Utopia where most are happy and wealthy but let’s be honest, at any point, if only for gaining a small amount of power, he would have destroyed every single atom of Zakul. The inhabitants of that society were just mere iron bolts in his machine in the end… But that’s also what I like about Vitiate, he’s more than evil, he’s nihilistically abominable… which is far scarier than someone like Sidious who would never want « to rule a Galaxy of the dead » as he said to Vader. Great holocron as always ! Sith of this period are very intriguing to me behind so diverse with their mindset.

[@jakobnunez4964]

I always love hearing how he structured his empire and improved upon it.

I really do wish there was more attention paid to it, in the form of several Movies. It really would be the only thing that could do it any justice in my opinion.

[@1qplayer626]

True sith are visionaries❤😂

[@corujariousa]

It would be great if we could have a TV series about these characters and period. Something R-rated and very dark. CGI would be best so we could avoid Live Action limitations. The vision of real life as being physical and trying to hold to it at all costs proves to be limited and always leads to atrocities and ultimate failures. Star Wars and real life keep proving it. Important: The peace and prosperity you mentioned was achieved by Valkorian was not across his empire but limited to the planet mentioned on this video.

[@WolfyMan-gs2xe]

Amd of cpurse hot-sweet love to the sith warriors, male or female... idk i just think that would be awesome, if we could just have one scene of a hot sith love scene...

SWTOR is probably the best MMO I’ve played ESO can’t hold a candle. If it was possible to get it on console I’d buy

[@Slider879]

Would anyone else love it if SWTOR adopted a more Warframe-like movement/combat system? I feel like if SWTOR did this, they would absolutely explode on players

[@mrme0wf832]

been playing it since it started, but i'm thinking about retiring, it's outdated and its story runs in circles... its way better than ESO, FFIVX and even WoW (and others) but i feel its coming to its end. Its okay, its been a good 13 years.😔

[@themusicalpilot1382]

It is unfortunate that the only reason for the creation of Zakuul was gain the power to consume all life in the galaxy to become an immortal god

[@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051]

So pretty much Nihilus just he didn't give a shit about godhood 😂 he just wanted to eat

[@themusicalpilot1382]

@@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051 exactly, this is what makes Vitiate so scary in my opinion. Nihlus consumed because he was a void in the force, and was driven by an insatiable hunger to devour life. No such hunger drove vitiate. He did these things purely because he wanted to, and for no other reason. Two entire planets dead on whims alone

[@Furonanator139]

He understood that an empire where everyone prospers is bound to last much longer than one sideous built. Sideous was masterful at beginning his empire, but it was never going to work long term

[@d.structive2633]

If he only split off *pieces* of his own consciousness and life force, I would assume that he must've been unimaginably strong when residing in his original body. Perhaps one of the most powerful living beings to ever exist in Star Wars lore.

[@robertagu5533]

The Irony... One of the MOST EVIL characters in the Lore .. goes off on his own .. an DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE of Evil to his people.... Seems he DID, like narrated, become a powerful Emperor. If he'd just stayed above Sith Darkness he coulda been regarded as a Legendary Paria n probably NOT a bad one either. Since that Evil Sith flavored Dark streak led him to DO all that unheard of levels of Darkness that the Sith an Jedi looked at each other, called a Truce an teamed up on him... At the LEAST shoulda watched them then struck with overwhelming power when both were at their worst an not yet united so what happened couldn't have

[@mattmillie007]

It’s crazy how well those cinematics still hold up, even to today’s standards. Some of the best Star Wars stories u can experience. Love the Old Republic time period.

[@lucabestea6844]

Reanalysing KOTET, Valkorion is the devs keeping their word. Vitiate said:"I shall spend eternity becoming everything. A farmer, an artist, a simple man...". Here, Vitiate became seen as a benevolent ruler, seen as something else than the vicious Vitiate(pun intended). Still remember Koth Vortena saying with reverence how "He(The immortal emperor) turned Zakuul into a paradise."

[@1qplayer626]

Valkorion had everything. But once again, his sith tendencies led to his family betray him and helping both sith and jedi to bring down zakuul. These people, after destroying zakuuls Utopia, would unite and destroy tenebraes soul within satele shans mind. So if valkorion had not been so mad about taking the outlander's body for himself and if he had not been so dark sided and evil towards his own family, he would indeed have ruled forever as the immortal god emperor😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@maxberens]

I love learning about the old Sith wars the mandalorian wars the Jedi civil war the eternal alliance it’s so interesting to me and can you make more videos on these

[@Gor85]

This is very impressive. Very. Pure evil being did this. This is weird. Infinite Empire was fantastic. Eternal Fleet reminds of Star Forge. A lot. I haven't thought of this before. May the Force be with you too😊

[@FramesJanco505]

DAMN I’m early to this one Looking forward to the video guys!

[@ChoseeComprende]

I would argzue that Arkhan's betrayal was part of the plan ... He wanted new vessel, just decided for yours, instead of his.

[@1qplayer626]

Yeah but the point is that whatever his plan was, his crimes against nathema would doom him. The force would eventually destroy tenebrae. So He believed it was his plan but the force actually led him into that trap.❤

It show how effective a power and wise Force-user ruler can be to civilian only if they are not fallowing the dark side. I know the Sith Emperor himself is fallow the dark side but it is interest he views the Sith Order just as limited as the Jedi though in different ways like how both Kaan and Darth Bane did after him.

As much as I loved the Eternal Empire and still pissed the KOTFE was cut short, I don't think Valkorion ever gave up on being Sith and the Dark Side, he said he was beyond it yet his actions proved otherwise.

lol, sucking money and resources from a vast portion of space to make one planet rich isnt Utopia, thats just space colonialism. "Better for everyone" just means better for that one planet, not the countless others they leeched off of. An empire built from military might, conquering their way though the galaxy isnt doing that for the people.

[@VanBuren43]

if you stop for 2 sec, the realization of how cringe star wars is sinks right in... "a galaxy far, far away" with a different character set for all screens, but most dark jedi have Latin names, at what point did Latin enter that culture? half of all droids can speak normally, the other half beeps and squeaks (and yet everyone mysteriously understands them). some lightsabre fights happen at great speed (kenobi vs maul), they have these impressive yet useless spinning moves, and yet no opponent is ever sussed enough to run them through when they start spinning. and now Valkorion, aka Tenebrae (guess what it means in latin) aka Vitiate (...sigh...) and i don't even want to know what ZAKUUL is, so cringe it is. obviously brought to you by the same minds that previously P.R'd "operation shock and awe", causing a worldwide level 8 earthquake due to the simultaneous facepalm by 7 billion humans

[@mrme0wf832]

dark jedi don't have latin names, Sith do but only when they shed their old identity and become Darths.I guess they use Latin for the original Sith language the same way galactic basic is english, its just to allow us to understand, not everyone is able to invent languages like Tolkien did.The droids in the SW galaxy come from very different places and technologies and cultures even, GONK, but not everyone understands them, the jedi do because they study languages, some others also due to their use of these droids in their work (senators, technicians...). Lightsaber fights are weird granted, i guess from the stand point of the jedi they try to intimidate their opponents with all the fluff to avoid cutting them in half in one second, idk why the sith are not more direct, even tho if you look at the OT, the fights were more "direct". Stupendous Wave just explained what Zakuul was, and i dont get your operation shock and awe reference... have a nice day citizen!

He wasn't a sith. That's like claiming the emperor of Japan is a sith. At best he's a Jedi. But in reality he's neither. The more I watch these videos the more I wonder if you even know anything about the force. Just to shut you up, his name is valkorion as in val as in the blonde and core as in the skinny worm. You must be Jedi with the kind of thinking where you can change history or your perspective just because you feel like it.

[@1qplayer626]

What did He do wrong? Vitiate was a sith, as Valkorion He transcended sith ideology. He was beyond being a sith and stupendous explains this perfectly ❤
