The same Valkorion who killed his stepdad with a thought and tortured and killed his mum at the age of 6. Severed his dad's connection to the force, killed him and trapped his spirit at the age of 10. Conquered his first planet and was named a sith Lord by Marka Ragnos, the most powerful of the most powerful, at the age of 13. He feared Vaylin and her potential since she reminded him of himself.

[@SWCentral]

I thought that was implied :O But yeah you is right

The mere fact that he was building another empire....with his consciousness elsewhere is insane to me. How in the hell was that possible? What Sith can compare to a person who was actually living multiple lives?

Reminder to everyone wanting a Disney+ show on the Eternal family that the reason their story line was good in the first place is that they were written by BioWare, not by Disney or Lucasfilm. Arguably, the only decent Star Wars content that has come from Disney was The Mandalorian (but then the writers of that show also wrote The Book of Boba Fett, which fell flat). More likely than not, Disney will find a way to ruin any adaptations of the SWTOR lore.

[@lewfarkyy]

Its been said a thousand times before. But the story of the Eternal Family in KOTOR, is better than the entire Sequel trilogy. Vaylin is a better character than Rey, and hardly no one has heard of her! I really would like Disney to create this story, make it trilogy or make it a Disney + series! Only one can dream...

[@OrifielM]

No to Disney. A year ago I might have agreed as long as Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni worked on it because I thought The Mandalorian was good, but after seeing what they did with The Book of Boba Fett, no. Disney Star Wars is hopeless.

I kinda wished that thexan was in the game because I would think that he would be the one to rebel against arcann once he found out what crimes he commited.

[@bug-on-a-drug]

This, and also I think he would be someone that could actually help Vaylin recover. She went through a lot, she loved both of her brothers, but what fueled her hatred even more, was that Arcann killed Thexan - one was gone, and the other was responsible for it. So in her mind she was abandoned, betrayed and left alone with the darkness that was growing inside her. He's also the only person who manifests to her when she's having her breakdowns, which signals how important he was in her life. I don't know if I'd wish for him to be alive, but I wonder how different Vaylin life would be if he would. Nevertheless, Vaylin deserved better. I wouldn't say "redeem her to the light side", because redeeming doesn't have to mean being full on light side, but idk, just make a recovery a possibility. Killing her being the only option was disappointing to say the least.

[@captainobvious7165]

Thexan always looked out for his brother, he would definitely be on his side regardless of him not being necessarily evil.

[@Skitz6969]

Ehhhh, not all things have to have a good ending because not everything has a good ending. I find it better that due to thexan being dead it was a downfall from there. But hey that's your opinion while this is mine, I do respect yours.

Valen power was restricted by valkorion which makes her similar to anakin/darth vader who's own power was restricted by palpatine. The difference is vader was held back by flawed armor, though palpatine claimed it was actually his mental state, while valen was held back by the immortal emperor's conditioning. Valen was able to remove her father's conditioning and access her full power but was eventually defeated.While in canon vader was able to use his full power unlike his legends counterpart.

Is the "Outlander" a Cathar in this video? I've never played the game and only recently got into Star Wars and I'm trying to absorb as much as I can.

Explained well. The twins and younger sister are so cool. I hope Disney plus does something with them but if it's legends they won't, right?

[@zekeodima3708]

@@kye698 its an elite riual to make soldiers super soldiers or just sometimes called assets. A rich white magus a kind of father figure will adopt children. in this case there was 2 of them. they were raised with nothing no money. They were abused and trained. Even tho the father is a galactic figure with much wealth he raises the adopted kids with no money and hurts them and trains them to kill. They are told they are brothers but they are not. They only have each other they never receive any approval from the father or magus cuz he is not really they're father. FInally they are pit against each other this is the final test. They have already proven themselves in combat. One has to kill the other. Again its a blood ritual. the one who lives is given status as a new magus and is given praise for the first time. I have heard about this happening to some people i knew and after I saw this trailer it shocked me how it depicted exactly what happened but in a more fantasy sense. remember art imitates reality. When the people were telling me about this kind of satanic ritual/abuse they referred to it as twinning. They glorify it in this star wars trailer the descent into darkness and rendering of your own brothers flesh. The ritual is Cabbalist one that represents Kain and Abel. It sounds crazy but real kids are being raised like this everyday. You might meet a rich person like a judge or politician and ask yourself why are these people so cold? Why do they have a complete lack of apathy or care for other people? They grow up in satanic elite families I mean seriously you tube satanic families its ALL over the internet. It happens right in our faces everyday. The whole adoption orphanage industry is so fucked. Its full of nothing but satanists and pedophiles. If you ever meet an orphan ask about they past its usually very dark/ w some sexual and ritualistic abuse. I know at least 25 adopted kids with the same story. Again if your watching the trailer and you now nothing about these kids of rituals it just desensitizes you to it. If you've already been initiated into one of these groups they know exactly what they are seeing. try to google or youtube ritual twinning you might find some cases about it. If you look hard enough you will find a lot.

Disney really wasted their chance with Star Wars. They could have done something original like this but instead they rehash the original movies except so poorly that 95% of the people they tried to please ended up hating it and the only ones that actually enjoyed the movies were those whose frontal cortex wasn't developed yet. This story has nothing to do with the light side versus the dark side, good versus evil or Jedi versus Sith. It just runs so much deeper and it comes across as far more relatable and realistic. I feel like Disney is obviously afraid to touch on darker grey areas and especially the expanded universe for that matter, that is why we can just leave Disney to burn. Just like how they burned away all their money on terrible movies that nobody will look back fondly on.
