Thank you CivilizationEx, but you’re a day to late

[@pyeitme508]

Amazing!

CivilizationEx cool vid just watched another video on the ancient Sith Lords maybe sometime in the future yall could make a vid on ancient Sith Lords like Tulak Horde

[@madambutterfly1997]

Reducing the sith in number they no longer had competition, but competition that was clearly necessary for them to get stronger. the reason why ancients Sitj we're so strong is because they had a never-ending assortment of competition the deal with

[@AbsurdFalcon]

Hasan Wilson while true competition made the Sith stronger since their entire philosophy was the survival of the fittest (and I know it’s not canon anymore) the siths infighting caused more harm than good and many of their ancient techniques and teachings were not passed on. However despite the rule of two competition still existed. An apprentices goal was to kill their master eventually and Masters would discard apprentices that proved weak. There was still infighting but if a Master killed their apprentice they’d just find a stronger one and vise versa the apprentice would become the new master.

[@AbsurdFalcon]

Think of it like this: The man who trains you will kill you if you don’t meet his expectations of growth and he will find a more suiting apprentice. The only way of finding security is to become strong and eventually kill them to take their place. Now you will have to find an apprentice after killing your master but be warned. You must continue growing in power before your apprentice surpasses and kills you. The more powerful the apprentice the more useful he is as a tool, and more dangerous. You do not want to lose your grip but without an apprentice your purpose, order, and personal strength (you have an errand boy/ pseudo-ally) declines,

[@AbsurdFalcon]

Infectious Legume rule of two was always flawed but it worked. Solely because the Sith agreed to follow it until Sidious was the one to said fuck it I’m not being replaced. There were multiple times where it endangered everything like the one time a Dark Lord turned to the light and tried destroying lore.

[@jessicajujubean5004]

They should have found a happy medium and limited the number of siths. Neither too many or too few Alas they only went to extremes

[@mikeor-]

"There must always be two. One Master must embody the power of the Dark side and pass his knowledge on to a single apprentice. The two may attract legions of minions, but the true number must be no more, and no less. Always two there are, a Master and an Apprentice." -Darth Bane.

[@kibakaighostw0lf938]

Just to correct something. When Kylo "Killed" Luke Skywalker, the destruction of Lukes temple was discussed in a recent Kylo Ren Comic book. It was actually Palpatine who had destroyed the temple.

[@madambutterfly1997]

People think the rule of two made them stronger when it only made them more cunning. As far as actual strength goes they got weaker

[@madambutterfly1997]

@Michael Markowsky take Revan as an example. Neither Sidious nor Vader were anywhere near his level. As far as their strength goes, they were as strong as the instructors of the sith academy who were much weaker than actual dark lords

[@madambutterfly1997]

@Michael Markowsky they became more cunning but as far as their strength in the force that didn't advance. Or at least whatever advancements they made we're nowhere near the level of ancient sith like Revan

[@elijahamores]

@@madambutterfly1997 Oh, yeah. Like hiding under the whole Jedi Order or being able to cheat death wasn't a feat only a few sith were able to achieve. If you're going to bring EU here, then Revan would be killed by EU Vader but especially by EU Sidious in just moments.

[@devan6935]

@@elijahamores eh, Revan would kill Vader, Sidious and Revan would most likely be equally matched, with neither truly beating the other, as Revan is one of the most powerful of the sith to ever live, and can use both the dark and light.

[@elijahamores]

@@devan6935 Revan got defeated easily and mind controlled by Vitiate so easily. Darth Sidious was stated by Grandmaster Yoda to be the most powerful sith in history according to the ROTS Novelisation. Don't push your die hard fanboism here. Canon Sidious would easily outmatch Revan in both the force and with the lightsaber, EU Sidious? He would instantly vaporise Revan with Force Lightning.

*Darth Revan has officially been canonized by Disney.*

[@yankenbeanstrum648]

Watch people start praising Disney for this, even though they were the ones who de-canonized him in the first place.

[@michaelstodovski2219]

@@yankenbeanstrum648 They didn't do that out of flat out Malice twoards the old Star Wars content creators. But likely did it because they didnt want Star Wars to be this Game of Thrones like world were all the new movies MUST be connected to the books. And instead wanted more creative libreties for their 3 diffirent directors of the Sequel trilogy to have full freedom and make a quality product. At the time it might have sounded pretty logical buuut with now with hindsight....

[@jakobrenner2230]

@@michaelstodovski2219 Yeah, I was initially happy because the de-canonized Dark Empire and the SWTOR MMO (which I consider to be both inconsistent with the lore and disrespectful towards beloved characters, specially Revan). Then TROS came...

One word: Palpatine

Please remake the video about the history of the Canon Mandalorians?

[@CivilizationEx]

I may do that but probably after the first season of the Mandalorian.

[@pyeitme508]

@@CivilizationEx ok and if possible make a video about the whole history of The Last Ship (5 seasons) tv show? Plus how will Earth in Star Wars be like? Inspired by Boofire191's Earth in Star Wars fan videos.

Nice video.

Could you make a video of the eu Luke Skywalker

Can you talk about the call of duty universe and battles that crippled the several factions

Civilizationex, can you make a video of Darth Ruin?

Will mention him in my next vid but it will probably be awhile before I do one just about him

Hutt space is like Switzerland

[@simplifiedmutiny423]

This is only up to Episode VIII, not up to IX. Where's that part in this video?

[@CivilizationEx]

This is a prelude to Ep IX, meaning the relevant info up to the beginning of Ep IX, no Ep IX info in this one.

[@simplifiedmutiny423]

Oh, okay. Thank you.

[@jeanmarais337]

where can i find your oppinion on ep 9?

[@CivilizationEx]

I don't plan on posting vids about my opinions but I do talk about them in my weekly update posts on my channel. But if you are curious I will just tell you, I really liked it. It didn't make any sense, but still, I really liked it.

[@TorbjornMain]

@@CivilizationEx This was how I felt, I judge a movie by did I enjoy it? And I smiled a lot during the movie and was happy when I came out. It didn't make much sense but it was fun and that's what star wars is all about.

I'm early again! WHOO HOO!!😆

[@seekingabsolution1907]

Do you ever think that the Rule of two era Sith wouldn't have succeeded if the jedi and senators were all either spineless or clueless.

[@GergeCoelho]

Great one!

[@jmiester25]

So Disney had to release a handful of novels to explain vital important elements of their story that the movie didn't bother to. That's good filmmaking. If you watch Episode IX alone and you inevitably ask "Wait how did Palpatine return and how exactly did he conquer death?," the only answer that can suffice is "He just did." Oh. Wonderful. Great. Thanks!

Are you dumb

[@Harshhaze]

Disney Canon is nothing but bad fanfiction. Legacy is better, even though it's flaws have a been a debate amongst fans for years

To me, Legends felt more like a fan fic. All the legacy character are op as f**k and the stories are poorly written.
