DArth Baras became one of my favorite siths. his mask is amazing and his plot, while very predictable, was really enjoyable to play through.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Darth Baras was such a great villain and personally for me as the main antagonist for are sith warrior storyline it was so satisfying to take this jerk down and taking down his ego and his power literally in front of the dark council eyes and with are allies along are side was super awesome and badass and amazing in my opinion. :)

[@SWCentral]

Yeah the SW story really does a good job of making you feel important with the story. Chosen by the emperor and sent to kill the master who betrayed you and the empire. You’re like James Bond but you’re the villain and have a lightsaber haha!

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@SWCentral indeed but honestly I wouldn't say like James bond because personally for me I think the imperial agent story makes the comparison to James bond a lot more sense then the sith warrior storyline but that's just my opinion on that subject matter as a whole. That being said though I do agree with you on being chosen by the emperor himself literally and going against your master Baras who left you for dead and betrayed the empire you were sworn to protect similar to James bond but working as the bad guys with lightsaber is really awesome and badass like you said but your the bad guy is super amazing. :)

[@A21-EDITS21]

When i first played the game i always thought Baras was a cyborg and that's why he covered his face. But he was just a regular human. Who was wide. Glad im seeing your videos in my subscriptions again. Sometimes videos don't appear since I'm subscribed to a lot of channels.

[@MrChristophSteininge]

I wonder about the timeline. Was the emperor incarcerated on Voss by Sel-Makor, even as he was Valkorion of Zakuul? Was the emperor powerful enough to split his personality into two to be in two places at once. If you recall, the emperor hollowed out (in his own words) Valkorion and posess him. In order to have 3 children and to consign his most powerful child to Nathema, after consuming this world sometime, this covers a lot of time, decades at least. I say about 30 years at least. This raises many questions. To split his personality must have sapped his power considerably, and perhaps the imprisonment of the emperor on Voss worked only so well because he was at the same time pursuing plans on Zakuul. Perhaps the consumption of Ziost later in the history of the empire solved this problem for the emperor. By this time the emperor became a figure much like Galactus, a god (in his own words), that cannot be denied.

[@SWCentral]

I think you’re half right. I believe the Emperor sought revenge on Sel-Makor but his plan was stopped by the JK and a few days/weeks later the JK faces the emperor on DK and “wins”. So I think the emperor had enough of his empire and just bailed to focus on Zakuul. Did he possess Valkorion at the same time as being trapped on Voss? Yes! The character trapped on Voss was in fact, the true emperors voice, a host with a slither of his being. I’d 100% believe he could split his consciousness into two people at the same time.

[@przemekmaj132]

Erm Actually Emperor posses Valkorion many years ago before even swtor story start, he actually rule as Valkorion for hundreds years ( hence the title of eternal emperor), and yes he actually fathered Arcann Thexan and Vaylin. Emperor was so powerful that he can posses many bodies and share their powers im the same time. Why he actually didn't free Voice? Well he have more importants plans ( and JK stop it). Besides, he had considered the Sith Empire a failure for a long time and was no longer interested in it, so he preferred to send his anger at Baras rather than deal with it himself.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Baras the Wide? I thought not, it's not a Story DK chat would tell you. Darth Baras was a Dark Lard of the Sith, so powerful and so wide, he could use the Force to influence the Midi-calories to create fat... He had such a knowledge of the Fat Side, that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dieting. He became so rotund... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his Body Type 4 status which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice ate him in his sleep. Ironic...

[@SWCentral]

Yes! xD

[@epsilon7466Mk2]

Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Baras the Wide? Anakin: No. Palpatine: I thought not, it’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. Darth Baras was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wide, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create...burgers. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from exercising. Anakin: He could actually...save people from exercise? Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities and fillings some consider to be unnatural. Anakin: What happened to him? Palpatine: He became so powerful and so wide, the only thing he was afraid of was...losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep by sitting on his head. It's ironic. He could save others from fat, but not himself. Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power? Palpatine: Not from an overweight Jedi.

Ah Darth Baras, the Sith Lord that launched a thousand fat jokes.

Did you hear the tragedy of darth baras the wide? I thought not its not a tale the healthy would tell you, it is a foodie legend, darth baras was a sith lord so girthy and wide he could use the to create fat

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

I believe exar kun was more powerful than darth tenebrae, tenebrae feared naga sadow and marka ragnos exar kun is estate to had surpassed all the ancient sith lords he also became the greatest sorcerer in history greater than naga sadow who papaltine was afraid to perform some of his rituals because it was so terrible also exar kun is more powerful than Karnes murr who was more powerful than return of the jedi papaltine exar kun also scale to BFC luke Skywalker who would beat tenebrae

[@NatHazel]

Yeah but Exar Kun’s biggest hinderance was his lack of patience and overconfidence. Not groundbreaking news I know, but they definitely played a hand in his unraveling. And I’d say he’s at the very least on Vitiate and Sidious’ level. The fact the ritual was even remotely successful in immortalizing his spirit, but he was also just as quickly trapped in his own temple until Luke came around.

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

@NatHazel if it wasn't for ulic betraying him he would had become the most powerful and greatest sith lord ever he was very young too when he got trapped
