The ONLY Sith to Cause The Jedi Council To Go Into EXILE - Star Wars Explained

[@Sincerelyhoneyxo]

Nihilus deserves way more recognition. He is outright terrifying and extremely powerful. I believe if he was given enough time and lived longer, he would have been the most powerful sith to ever exist.

[@blackmondayy1]

I think he was the most powerful Sith/Jedi to exist. He was the only one to be a wound in the force. When you are a wound in the force it means that your connection to the force is at 100%. You are literally one with the force itself ... you can´t get more powerful than that.

[@stevencastleberry7799]

I agree, he is my favorite sith lord in Star Wars, and I would love to see more content about him

[@wintersking4290]

Tenebrae/Vitiate basically did become the strongest ever by using an even more advanced version of nihilous's power. He became a disembodied spirit and could possess multiple bodies at will.

He wasn't even a man he was a sentient wound in the force born from the sadness and hatred caused when revan destroyed malachor v

[@codym1567]

No true physical form under the armor in either as well

[@thalmoragent9344]

I really like the concept of a Force user such as Darth Nihilus, with such a signature move and method of facing foes. Just the creativity of a new kind of menace. A living Dark Side Nexus, walking around as essentially a Sith Shadow, absorbing the Light Side of the Force, through the Jedi he drained.

[@entityunknown732]

Nihilus has more abilities then just force drain that are strong if not powerful. He used drain because of his hungry. He had force rage, farsight, force lightning, force plague, force resistance, force scream, force whirlwind, dark form of force healing, along with some other abilities.

[@TY-PO]

Sidious played it well, and secretly planned to defeat the Jedi. Nihilus straight up said, “Fine, I’ll do it myself…”

[@Vakaria-plays]

Aaarrhh the great Darth Nihilus, the force wound, the consumer of all life, the world eater. One of the most powerful Sith ever to be created, from one of the greatest time periods in Star Wars history, i love this Sith so much!!!

[@michaelbarnes2126]

I agree. The Jedi Boogeyman lol

[@ThebanTraveller]

Can you make one about Kreia ? I find her fascinating. And she makes good points, as powerfull as Nihilus is, in the end "There is no strength in the hunger he feels, it will devour him. In the end, he is a slave to it." (Still he is impressive, but she has a point)

[@michaelbarnes2126]

The Jedi Boogeyman, a Force grim reaper, a living Force wound. Nihilus is easily one of the most iconic and terrifying Sith Lords in Star Wars. The Sith trio and that whole Old Republic era is the most interesting in my opinion wish it was canon like it should be

[@thefollower2933]

I mean, it is canon isn't it? I know that this is Legends Technically and Disney said that Legends isn't canon, but that doesn't matter because they haven't provided a canon version of the Old Republic Stories, nor anything to replace it, you can't just say "that story didn't happen" without showing why it didn't happen. As long as they don't make their own version of the Old Republic events, they're canon.

Just as we got to see the back story of Vader I think Darth Nihilus deserves the same as well as a back story for Revan and about the Infinite Empire.

[@matthewchristian9591]

Funnily enough, his story ties with Revan he was a jedi under revans command when he activated the mass shadow generator. He got caught in it and it as well as the force changed him into the husk he became. Also Sion was a jedi from a earlier era who refused too die and used his hate and pain to keep coming back from the dead he also joined revans sith empire.

[@ReallyDoh]

A walking, breathing "WOUND in the Force". -Much Respect, NIHILUS..!

[@salopro86]

I love Darth Nihilus even though he's more a force of nature than an actual character with agency. His strength is his weakness; that being his insatiable hunger. His power to drain all life on a planet is the inverse equivalent to the empty pit at his core that he desperately tries to fill. He's like a force junkie

[@gabrielandjavierpinales3689]

The First Jedi Purge was more insidious than the second one. The Sith wipe them out from the shadows. Sidious uses the Republic and Clone Army against the Jedi.

[@Gor85]

Nihilus is extremely terrifying! I remember kotor 2 :) Awesome game :D Sidious used Nihilus plan, He made Order 66 better. Divide and conquer. Empires often used this. And it's still used. May the Force be with you :) Extremely creepy story. He is worthy

[@joshuasayler2425]

I have a theory that Beskar it’s raw form is a crystal a type of Kyber or something similar and that is what Tarre Vizsla put in the dark saber and that would explain why it’s the only one of its kind. That would also explain why a lightsaber can’t cut through Beskar, because it is like as if it was forced imbued like the Jedi did with their swords and stuffs and it also explain why when the dark saber comes into contact with it causes the Beskar to heat up and that would make sense Beskar crystal is what powers The dark saber, which would have a stronger force connection because the Beskar in the dark saber is it’s raw form

[@joshuasayler2425]

how can Bhaskar be a crystal and a metal A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. For example, iron pyrite and Bismuth are crystalline, metal.

[@nategraham6946]

He was certainly the most powerful of that time, but he was far from alone. I think he is one of the best Sith ever, on par with Revan and Bane in my eyes.

[@TheShadow14150]

Sidious: hey anakin can you go to the Jedi temple really quick? -Jedi get executed- Nihilus: wassup The Jedi: 😱

[@Tomp4ul]

Nihilus has to be one of my favourite Sith. Doesn't get much more dark side than that.

[@mattberg6328]

I wish more back stories for Nihilus and Sion as well as Traya were available. Even Visas would have been cool . Who they were and their personalities and powers BEFORE SWTOR 2 would have been awesome to know. Even with what Traya knew about Sith before would be awesome to have known how, especially being a Jedi.

[@matthewchristian9591]

The sith triumvirate were all jedi Nihilus got caught in the mass shadow generator. Sion was a fallen jedi from i believe exar kuns era who used his pain and hate to bind his soul to his body. And Kriea was a jedi master who believed in true balance the jedi called her a heretic and exiled her especially since they believed her teachings are what led to revan joining the war and falling to the darkness.

[@michaelrobertson4896]

Darth Nihilis is basically the Galactus of the Star Wars universe. Their hunger is unmatched and their power is undeniable and they are both unstoppable forces of destruction .

[@jzeronone9067]

Nihilus still remains as one of my favorite sith lords

[@brassarrow1587]

With Nihilus and the ravager he sounds like the Star Wars version of Davy Jones and the flying Dutchman a ghost ship with undead crew and a powerful captain at the helm

[@Zer0_._]

I'm honestly curious what would have happened if Nihilus had made, well. More progress towards devoring the galaxy, for one reason. There was another, alive at the same time as Nihilus, with the exact same goal. Vitiate. The Sith Triumvirate was actually active (ie started attacking people and planets and whatnot) for about 3 years after Revan left, during which Meetra came back, regained her connection to the force, delt with the Triumvirate, met with bastila, and then set off after Revan. I wonder what would have happened if Nihilus would have made it to the seat of Imperial power during that time. Because I can almost guarantee that Vitiate would have seen Nihilus as a problem.

[@life_is_a_myth]

True. Vitiate would have had problems with Nihilus' rise.

[@AdeptKing]

That would have been like two dark gods clashing.

[@hk-4886]

Well, I think predicting the outcome is pretty simple. Vitiate wasn’t a wound in the force so even with all his power nihilus would have obliterated him and all his empire as nihilus couldn’t have been stopped.

[@Zer0_._]

@hk-4886 having actually fought Nihilus recently I can safely say that his weakness is in combat. Sure he can use force drain. But aside from that, he's a weak combatant.

[@hk-4886]

@@Zer0_._ agreed. He’s not good in combat. But aside from his one weakness of trying to feed on a wound in the force he can’t drain there is no way of stopping him. If meetra wouldn’t exist nihilus would consume the whole galaxy

[@pariahdog6703]

Best Sith lord. Cosplayed Nihilius for a while long ago, even though you know it's just some regular no body under there it's still unsettling to be near a well done Nihilius. Adding the "voice" effects from the game is a nice cherry on top.

[@3dpyromaniac560]

I have honestly always attributed the strategy of the purge to Traya, cunning and manipulation was her forte. Nihilus was pure hunger, a void that was unable to be filled, he wasn't seeking conquest or a body count, just food. Katarr was an unusual deviation from the slight pushes up to then, and quite an escalation, and likely was shortly after Nihilus and Scion betrayed and cast down Traya, without somebody to hold him back, he just went and saw the planet as an "all you can eat" buffet. Tobin and his involvement with Onderon were setting a trap for Jedi, sure, but a simple baited trap is a far cry from what the purge was. "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." ... "And it rules him, not the other way around, it has its own will, its own instincts." "Force sensitives, and worlds rich in the force draw him. The Miraluka world was one such place. That is why where the Jedi gather, Jedi will die, he will feel it, unless they mask their presence. But Katarr called to him like a beacon and he could not resist it."

[@Nedzilla345]

It's like how Kreia mentioned to Surik, " Modern Force users are nothing compared to the Old Masters." Imagine if Sidious had Nihilus' potential, or if Vader was powered just like Sion.

This is why Nihilus is my favorite ancient Sith, because he was just a monster. His mere presence made the Jedi quake.

[@devinmounce1838]

Yeah the whole game builds up to him being this big bad, but honestly that wasn’t a hard fight. I was expecting so much more. I know it’s due to limitations of the game back then, it’s hard to make a boss fight like that feel hard, besides giving them more HP and damage. I just wish they would remake the game and give the character justice. No way an enemy that strong is beaten the first time you face them. Jedi fallen order really gave you this sense of how strong Vader was, and from the lore Vader isn’t shit compared to Nihilus. Vader can’t destroy whole planets without stepping foot on them or control a whole warship with the force. I’m just saying I don’t think that style of game really did his character justice. If they do remake it, I still want it to be an rpg, but maybe more like the Witcher, elder scrolls, mass effect, or even the rpg assassin creed games. I want it to keep what made it good, but update the combat and animations, so it’s more hands on.

[@Vakaria-plays]

The game inded is limited being from its time, but if you wanted something like fallen order, it would not just require a remake, it would have to change all the mechanics of the game, which is not happening, luckily Books does Nihlus Credit who indeed could beat both Vader and even Sidious easily, hell i think he could take on both of them at the same time. Sidious would use all of his nasty but usual dark side force attacks which would only feed Nihilus and make him more and more powerful, and while Vader would rely more on his lightsaber skills, Nihilus could easily spar against him, plus being so close to him, would make Vader be slowly drained of life/force energies.

By the time Vitiate took notice of nihilus, nihilus would have grown to a power level vitiate could not match anymore, Kreia herself said that nihilus was on the verge of surpassing the ancient sith in power if not stopped, and the ancient sith were some badass motherfuckers, what amazes me is the scaling of nihilus power, his reign was like 10 years or so and he was already on that level where he could rival the ancient sith, imagine 20 or 30 years or even 100, there would be no stopping him anymore, thats when you're a wound in the force unlike vitiate who is a force wielder, a wounds powers are unlimited unlike a force wielder who has to study and gain knowledge to get his power, nihilus was that force, he was the manifestation of the dark side itself. Thats why as for me, he was the most powerfull sith in all SW lore, cuz he had that potential.
