Sith Lore | The Old Republic 8 HOURS

I had to reupload this, apologies! - Please subscribe

BioWare set up the mystery of the true Sith's whereabouts very well in Knights of the Old Republic, leading up to The Old Republic MMO game. To those who don't remember, in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon Jinn told the Jedi Council about his encounter with Darth Maul when they left Tatooine, they were surprised to hear that a Sith exists during that time when they believed the Sith to be extinct for nearly a millennium, that's 1,000 years. When BioWare confirmed that KOTOR will be set 3,000 years before the Galactic Empire's rise, I'm sure some Star Wars fans expected to have battles against the Sith back when they numbered in the hundreds instead of two. But instead, BioWare created a plot twist in KOTOR's plot, revealing that Revan and Malak (and Malak's apprentice Darth Bandon) were the only true Sith during the Jedi Civil War, all other Force users in the game are mostly "Dark Jedi", Jedi knights who have become allies of the dark side of the Force. and in KOTOR 2 the only true Sith in that game Meetra Surik faced were Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus and Darth Traya, and the three of them were not affiliated with the Sith Empire in any way.

The Revan novel reveals that Malak and Revan were directly tied to the Sith Emperor. They were not raised Sith, but their minds wouldn't be able to tell the difference anymore. The Sith triumvarate exists in KOTOR 2, who are the ones that followed Revan, who was also inspired by true Sith. Making the whole circle a little tricky, but none the less, they were indeed Sith. Just not the same Sith the Jedi knew thousands of years ago.

Shut up

[@stealthbummer3078]

Hi mate, love listening to these just before I go to bed. Not to be rude, but I reckon it may be worth turning the music volume down slightly, makes it easier to nod off ahaha

[@swcentral]

Totally agree friend. Music/Audio is something I'm always trying to improve. These days I ask people to review my videos before I make them public so hopefully my latest uploads and videos will suit you good! My Book of Sith playlist should accommodate this quite well too :)

[@stealthbummer3078]

@@swcentral thanks :) will be going through the playlist for the next month or so!

[@9722grant]

So much time put into this... masterpiece

[@DiamondLotus210]

Really enjoyed listening to this while building my new Lego star destroyer. The voice acting makes it even more enjoyable

[@swcentral]

I’m glad you liked it! By the end of this year, I’ll have another epic length lore video to upload! Stay tuned ❤️

[@DiamondLotus210]

@@swcentral Can’t wait! Don’t suppose you can tell us what the topic will be? 👀

[@swcentral]

@@DiamondLotus210 Absolutely! Spoiler below… Horror! I’m working on a feature length RED HARVEST project. It’s going to scare your socks off!

[@DiamondLotus210]

@@swcentral Sounds exciting, I’ll be there!

[@VulpesChama]

It's actually kinda funny if you think about it: Emperor has a plan and tells no one of it - the Sith help prevent it, Emperor is (temporarily) gone, Sith fight and struggle for power. Emperor survives, has a new plan and... doesn't tell his Sith - the Sith help prevent it, Emperor is (temporarily) gone, Sith fight and struggle for power. And, Emperor survives, has a new plan and... doesn't tell his Sith - the Sith help prevent it, Emperor is (temporarily) gone, Sith fight and struggle for power. And, guess what, Emperor survives, has a new plan and... doesn't tell his Sith - the Sith help prevent it, Emperor is (temporarily) gone, Sith fight and struggle for power. It might be me, but I think that maybe his entire strategy had some flaws.

[@swcentral]

*The Sith Emperor would like to know your location*

[@dominicp9296]

You really are to good lol I sadly never played the old republic or knights of the old republic so watching all the videos you make on it are great. Always loved darth malgus one of my absolutely favorites

[@jedisteve1313]

[@Hellsingtwin]

Awesome lore compilation. I really appreciate these. It helps my workday go faster. Keep up the good work.

[@swcentral]

Glad you like them! More coming always.

[@freemindzone5773]

Man i really love your star wars lore videos.

Glad you like them, more are coming!

Had Bane been featured in a game or a film/series adaptation, he would win the vote for sure.

Waited patiently for this video to sleep, thanks

[@GrayWolf420]

Just had a thought sense revan was considered the most powerful of his era I'm curious if he was the original chosen one but failed when he died

[@swcentral]

Revan kinda is a chosen one, in a way... That wouldn't be canon to him, but many fans see it this way. Anakin and Revan are the same but opposite. Anakin has his destiny thrust upon him by those around him. Revan created his own destiny and held the burden alone.

Star wars tv series movies with light speed to go back in the past to fixed things before the silt comes out and killed the galaxy

[@shell_donn1526]

What armor were you wearing in the intro

[@swcentral]

Sorry it was a friend who was helping me record, I’m unsure what he was wearing. I know the head dress has the name “stylish” in it. I’m sure someone made a page on SWTOR fashion website, google it!

[@jakstorm3180]

There was actually a lot of sith back than, vitiate, scourge, malak, revan, traya, nilus, sion, thats about as many fallen jedi led by ajunta pal during the great scism

[@swcentral]

Indeed! One of the reasons I love this era so much is because we have so many dark side characters.

[@AcornElectron]

8/10 … almost 8 minutes too short. ❤

[@swcentral]

I'll take it!

[@Unitedfruitco]

I thought Malek was called Alek when he was a Jedi.

[@swcentral]

Indeed! There is a full Malak explained in this video compilation. Goes through his entire origin!

[@jeffreyaguilar8028]

Love SWTOR, it’s my favorite of the Old Republic era games but BioWare made mistakes I cannot stand. BioWare did not, and quite possibly STILL does not understand KOTOR 2. So the Revan novel did not give a happy ending to Revan and takes a dump of Meetra Surik. And the likely still don’t understand the plot to KOTOR 2 which albeit I cannot fault them for that, Obsidian was doing some deep story telling but you can just play the game once and understand Kreia is not trying to destroy the Jedi because they cast her out but also wants to destroy the Sith since they betrayed her. Literally one dark side playthrough will have Kreia on Dantooine tel you “I did not want the Jedi dead, defeated perhaps but not dead. I only wanted to show them that their beliefs were wrong.” She moved the prices so well that there is no outcome that is not something she wants. Cut off the galaxy from the force, but even if she fails she already orchestrated you and the Republic destroying the Sith Triumvirate, helping the Republic and the galaxy stay together and help recover, expose Atris for her corruption, and find the lost Jedi rebuilding the Jedi order into what it should be. She failed to kill the galaxies connection to the force but she helped all of you heal. And also I cannot stand how they made Revan being mind controlled. Because it nullifies his attempt to preserve the Republic.

The wiki said that bastillas son name is Vaner Shan

[@swcentral]

Sounds right :)

Is this actual EU material or "new EU" material?

[@swcentral]

It’s legends :) has been around since 2011 making it non canon.

[@LovecraftianEburnea]

​@@swcentral Just because disney paid Lucas enough money to make a mistake doesn't mean we have to follow along. We've seen them do this with so many things, they buy a franchise as a platform for their activism and to be "real fans" we have to support it just the same, so they say. They also said Star Wars was "too White and too male" and what they're making isn't made to represent or entertain me. I'm just obligated to support it to be a "real fan", and a good person.

[@swcentral]

@@LovecraftianEburnea I know what you're saying. It's okay, you find much of that on my channel as a theme. - Here I focus on TOR and sometimes upload a curveball. For a lot of people here, this is the real Star Wars they want. Whether we believe it to be legends, canon or anything else, this is still what we enjoy most!

[@BuddyWhite616]

The way you keep saying revan is weird like you wouldn’t speak like that in a conversation with a normal person

[@swcentral]

But the video isn’t a conversation, it’s me telling a story so of course the narration matches that haha. Ya lemon 🍋 If you don’t like the video or the way I speak, you’d be welcome to find another lore channel. There is plenty to choose from!
