[@eclipseslayer98]

The Old Republic Era is the best place in StarWars. I almost don't want to say it, but the collective story telling of the authors who wrote for the Old Republic Era surpass the original trilogy.

[@siegel947]

Yes I would certainly agree, if only their was a project to start on a movie or animation it it would be great full....

[@Adenn]

Revan and Thrawn are the single best characters in all of star wars. Mystery, intrigue and a bunch of other factors play in. While one is from Old Republic era and the other is from the imperial, they are both tactical geniusses, who dont have a strong bond to either the good guys (Old Republic and Rebel Alliance) or the bad guys (Sith empire and Galactic Empire) they care about major threats lurking in the unknown regions, with Darth viciate and his plan to vipe the entire galaxy from existence or the yuuzhan vong and their galactic conquest. They are lone wolfs who knows more than they let on, with hidden motivations for the people around them, which in my opinion makes them both great. Sadly Revan isn't cannon anymore and the original Thrawn who nearly viped the new republic from existence in 9 aby isn't either. Thank god Thrawn has actually come back into cannon, but with a completely new story, his character is still the same. In the clone wars episode where Darth Bane made his comeback into cannon they also planned for Revan to come back, but cut it out. If only they had kept him, so that some stories from Legends could survive, or new amazing stories could be written. At least the scourge of Malachor is kinda similar, but still far from the same. If only Lucas had kept star wars, instead of letting Disney ruin the movies.

@@ming45612 if ur talking about the revan novel then that shit is incorrect cos it was made by different ppl who just retconned everything about kotor 2. The stupid bastards knw nothing and even drew karpyshyn admitted to not even checking out the story.

[@DraculaCronqvist]

In terms of raw power output, no Sith was ever stronger than Nihilus. However, this strength was not his, as he had no will to command it or make conscious use of it. He was a slave to it. That enormous power ate him up, consumed every part of his being, until Nihilus was but a made-up name, a barely-sentient consciousness bound to a robe and mask. Nihilus' own hunger, the source of his power, controlled and guided his every action. So while Nihilus was certainly the most destructive, he was weak-willed beyond measure. This does not make him any less dangerous, but it does make him considerably less powerful, in the grand scheme of things, than other Sith Lords, as they had the will and smarts to control events far outside their own physical power. Palpatine had far less raw power output, but he was smart enough to trick the entire Galaxy into doing his bidding for decades. Power is relative.

[@DraculaCronqvist]

@Lelouch Vi Britannia I've never debated that. In fact, he would wipe the floor with every single Force User in any direct confrontation. It's just that he is painfully easy to manipulate, due to his hunger.

[@avisco01]

Seems like the Sith is way more powerful than the Jedi always. I always thought Palpatine was the strongest Sith by the way, but it seems unlikely force lightning could contend with, ya know, the ability to drain the life force from an entire planet.

[@jon7684]

Force storms can destroy planets, palpatine was able to summon blackholes in EU

[@sambeshalom879]

Jon only a another wound in the force can beat nihilus because he’s a wound he’s immune to anything sideious throws at him

[@BanditoBurrito]

I think they really need to make Jedi cool again. Most people love the Sith because I guess they find it cool to be evil and it’s understandable but it’s not fun if they don’t have any challenges to overcome in terms of their rivals imo. In the way that in TLA, the fire nation is strong but trouble fighting the others under the avatar etc etc

[@JurFather]

palpatine is the most powerful sith, he could make force storms that could consume entire solar systems and the life force drain can be countered if ur strong enough in the force

[@yaakovbarrokion7650]

The sith is strong in the short term, but the Jedi has the help of a primordial force that manipulate all odds in favor to the light. Sith win the battle, but the Jedi win the war.

[@voiden3338]

Darth Sion & Darth Nihilus are the most terrifying duo of all time

Ah the old EU, with Chiss around every corner, layers on film series culture and planets, new planets and species waiting to be integrated, and a Republic actually willing to hit people.

Sure there were mis-steps, Daala, Darth Caedeus, Karen Traviss, but on the whole an enjoyable and fascinating event. It is missed.

[@mpitt0730]

If you are calling Traviss a mis-step, then you have clearly never read the Republic Commando Books

[@brotherhoodofgame]

Kriea never wanted to reclaim power in the Sith she wanted to use Meetra to destroy the force using her force wound. Therefore at the end when she lures you to Malachor V if you were to have died there. The echo it would've produced would have been so great it severed the entire galaxies connection from the force.

[@XxLew]

Yeah if I remember correctly didn't she want the exile to destroy both the jedi and sith, pretty much destroy the force itself as she hated it?

[@brotherhoodofgame]

@@XxLew Yeah her logic is you'll either destroy her and prove you possess the ability to train a generation of Jedi that will wipe out the Sith for good. Or she'll kill you inside of Malachor V making an echo so massive that it will effectively deaden and sever the entire galaxy from the force. Which will kill all the Jedi and Sith who rely on it; which she proves when she cuts off all the Jedi Masters from the force and they die. Basically she wins no matter what happens.

[@grantwilson4506]

I've been suggesting that for awhile, that'd be awesome.

[@Lucitaur]

Tbh, I really don't think of Nihilus as a Sith. He may be a dark jedi, but not a Sith because nor does he care about the organisation, nor does he live by their code, nor does he stick to one of the most important (if not the most important) rules for Sith; and that's to use Force as their servant ('May the Force serve you well.' - Sith equivalent of 'May the Force be with you.'). He is both driven and controled by his hunger, meaning that the dark side of the force controls him, not the other way around, making him a large disapointment for a Sith, no matter how powerful he is.

[@ramisgoogleacc702]

Lucitaur have you heard the quote "evil does not exist, man creates the laws that are considered "good" and evil is just being indifferent to those ideals" i think this matches him

[@jakobrenner2230]

Lucitaur I don't think he is a Sith, nor a Dark Jedi, he is simply Nihilus the Wound in the Force.

[@Goliath-Iz-Legit]

he was a sith by doing what he wanted

[@JeanLucCaptain]

Disney is a wound in the force.

[@MrMarinus18]

He might have been either a jedi or a sith. Nobody knowns and quite honestly it isn't even really relevant. The disaster and subsequent hunger destroyed all individuality he ever had. Darth Nihilus goes further than not caring about man made laws. He doesn't care about any laws at all.

[@lisboah]

Just to think that the Rebels were terrified of Palpatine because he used the Death Star, a superweapon that could destroy any planet that dared to oppose him. They should have considered themselves lucky that they didn't live in this period. Darth Nihilus literally ate planets for breakfast.

[@mikeor-]

Kreia: (Nihilus) He… if he can truly be called a man any longer, is one of the Dark Lords that pursues you. There is no strength in the hunger he possesses, and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others. His mere presence kills life around him, slowly feeding him. He walks but he is already dead: it is merely a question of how many he kills before he falls. And in truth, he cares nothing for the Sith, or its teachings, or the Jedi. And when the Jedi are dead, her master will feed on the Republic, the galaxy, and eventually consume the Sith as well. It is not something he can direct or focus, much like hunger itself. He is more of a hole in the Force, than a living thing. He must be stopped, before his power grows to such a level that it becomes something that even we cannot hope to avert. It is terrible. (Sion) Yes... of pain he has learned much. Of knowledge, of teaching, he knows nothing,

yes, kreia says it in kotor , she says that nihilus is already dead, it is a matter of how many he kills untill he falls, so in other words yes, he is inmortal as long his mask , robe and holocron survive, since his spirit is bound to them. As far we know all 3 items are burried somewhere on korroban in a dark side energy nexus

[@kevinkijak3776]

It is debatable if Revan ever truly fell. It was after he came back from the unknown regions that he started his war. In Knights of the Old Republic II text from your companions state that he had a plan in his attacks. He kept military and infrastructure intact unlike Malak who just killed everything. It is then implied that he was preparing the galaxy for something he found which turned out to be the Sith Empire from The Old Republic. It could be inferred that the threat was the Yuuzhan Vong from the moving asteroids Mandalore describes and the Sith Empire is a Bioware Retcon. The idea of Revan not having fallen but having a plan is further supported by Kreia who brings up themes of the ends justifying the means and perhaps Revan wasn't light or dark but doing what was needed in his war and in the Mandalorian Wars.

[@MrMarinus18]

Maybe but you could also say that Raven kept them intact because he wanted to conquer. Historically that was also often done; minimum destruction. After all people want to rule an empire, not just large piles of rubble and corpses.

Various reasons. The ancient sith didn't like the path he took and Bane is very proud of the rule of 2. On bane's rule of 2 it was a good idea for the time as the Sith were on the back foot.

[@MrMarinus18]

They were the most powerful sith lords she could find. The entire idea of the rule of two hadn't been established at this point so having multiple apprentices was not a problem. Darth Raven's philosophy of having 1 apprentice would win out eventually but at this point things were still in flux.

Vader's pain was nothing to Nihilus's pain

[@beanclay4154]

Legends is so much better than Mouse Canon

[@jarrodyuki7081]

According to the official lore of KOTOR the survivor was a woman. But since Disney got their paws on the EU it's all out the window anyways I guess...

[@CivilizationEx]

Yeah this story is no longer canon, now part of Legends

[@grantwilson4506]

Meetra Surik, yeah. But Nihilus was of course the Malachor survivor.

[@BulletBillSoilder]

Your thinking of the exiled she is legendly female, I myself view all non-contradicting old republic legend material canon

[@Thegorillacake]

+Smasherfan88 Ah yeah, I got it mixed up. Same here re canon. Thing is, not all of the canon was any good but KOTOR was in a class of its own. A great story.

[@Thegorillacake]

+CivilizationEx Actually I'm wrong and you're right, I was thinking of the Exile. My apologies good sir.

[@Pandacous]

Kreia is my favorite star wars character she is only character who realizes the force is evil and only breeds conflict. In this pursuit of the death of the force she is more good than any Jedi.

[@stickmastercaleb3251]

This explains the Rise of Skywalker travel scenes as Exeogul is in unknown regions so also makes sense why rey makes a stop on tatooine, kylo on mustafar, poe lightspeed through Bespin, palpatine not being quite far away.

Darth Sion: You should not have come to Malachor. She will break you: your mind, your body... you will be lost. Return to the surface of Malachor. Let the planet claim you, as it claimed the other Jedi.

Something tells me that his mask is mire than a mask. Maybe I dunno, keeping his spirit until someone finds it so he can possess him while consuming hin until he changed host or something. Sounds very possible to me

[@LJLvids]

god I need to decently play these games.

[@kickdoor4944]

wow i am blown away

[@kianhardwick]

Hey I’m new to Star Wars and would like to learn the complete lore and backstory of all Star Wars in timeline order from oldest time to current. What’s the best place to have in depth full info about everything? If anyone knows plz let me know :)

[@mikeor-]

Kreia: I am Kreia, and I am your rescuer; as you are mine.

[@aamirrazak3467]

Nihilus was one hungry guy, maybe someone should've given him a snickers

[@OMEGAVONDOOM]

Which Sith Lord crushed two gas giants or stars ( can't remember which) together to flee from enemy forces? His ship was damaged and he used the force two pull the stars or gas giants together.

[@Vreenak4308]

you got the banner of the old Republic wrong. you used the system alliance flag. post KOTFE

[@officework1635]

Good information

[@matthewdelong3419]

Cant wait for them to do kotor as either a movie series or tv show since revan and nihilis are now canon.

[@iansmith4924]

Great job!

[@thirdplanet4471]

Food glorious food

[@theminuteman7611]

Wonderful food, Magical, food

[@ericmonaco2276]

Make a Darth Krayt Story

[@melkhiordarkfell4354]

When a non Star Wars fan says: "What does Vadar mean the power to destroy a planet is nothing compared to the Force"

[@guilhermedavitoria4346]

Was the survivor already force-sensitive or did the wound in the force turn him into a force-sensitive?

[@mc-inversal7069]

You know... this explains a lot of disney'c choices in the rise of skywalker when it came to force powers.

[@wesnkrissytoehay792]

Great job

[@ianbell6339]

I think I’d like to learn more on Visas Marr

[@jokerbattle7331]

They could make Kotor 3 about mandalorian war or the exar Khun war as prequel.

[@brienneofturd3765]

He sounds so epic
