In Legends, I always thought it was 27 ABY during the Yuuzhan Vong War, when the Vong conquered Coruscant. This wasn't just bad for the New Republic, it was bad for everyone in the galaxy, New Republic or Imperial Remnant. Remember, 365 trillion beings died in that war.

[@emzonik8851]

The war was terryfying, but I think this "absolute worst" statement is a bit over the top, yes almost 400 trillion died, but the Galaxy contained more than 100 quadrillion (not every planet was conquered, likely not even in the Vong territory, they had limited amount of ships & warriors). Also, it was never confirmed if that number outclasses other galactic conflicts of the past, which were never provided with a specific death toll. Imo for galactic civilisation as a whole the worst moment came nonetheless in 19BBY, when 25 millenia of democracy and the ancient Jedi order protecting it were wiped out in favour of brutal Sith dictatorship, marking the peak of imbalance in the Force.

[@mericanjoe4070]

The first year after order 66 must've been rough though, at least for a Jedi. The order you devoted your life to that had lasted for thousands of years was mercilessly taken away from you in an instant by the soldiers you once trusted with your life, those who survived were cursed to see the galaxy they swore to protect be corrupted by the dark side. Every day you wake up in an unending nightmare wishing you could have just died in the initial culling instead of living your life in hiding from the new Empire and their inquistors. The saddest part, and probably the reason it isnt the saddest year in Star Wars history, is that its only really the saddest for the Jedi. The rest of the galaxy were so thoroughly convinced by Palpatine's words that they cheered on the Jedi Order's demise. Truly a dark time.

[@emzonik8851]

@@LegendsLiterature That's the thing, you don't know that, the dark times were not properly fleshed out in the EU before the reboot. What we also do know is that the Empire controlled (almost) the entire known Galaxy for decades while the Vong claimed a vast portion of it for 2 years (some areas for 4) but did not directly affect every planet within their terriroty. Vastly more individuals experienced the Imperial terror than the Vong's (I'd actually say it was the Vong invasion that was felt more locally in specific areas of the Galaxy, in particular where the vongforming was utilised), yet unlike in the NR/NJO era they had far less access to information and contact beyond their home systems. And while it's rearly depicted, it is stated the Imperials were eliminating entire species', the only thing we're lacking is the numbers, that they were covering up anyway. Of course it's not to undermine the latter, the invasion was terryfyingly brutal, it's clear as day in the novels. But in the end it is Palpatine who's the main villan, EU writers never put that into question, thus his rule is supposed to be the darkest day for the Galaxy by design.

[@neofulcrum5013]

How original..

[@starwarsjedi2296]

How original. Disney has done good by Star Wars and you know what fuck it, they saved it. Look at Star Wars before being bought by them, the fans despised it because of the prequels, George Lucas didn't want to do it any-more and was ready to get rid of it all so either its sold to Disney or its thrown away and never worked on again. Sure we had CW but that was going to end eventually and because it was an animated show it wasn't getting that many viewers and was being put off by a majority of fans due to being "a kid cartoon". Sure we had the EU but they were only some novels and comics that most fans didn't even read, the EU wasn't attracting any new fans it was only die hards who were reading it. The fans were assholes (still are) and had destroyed people's careers and almost caused Ahmed Best to commit suicide. The franchise was practically dead in the water, a fading franchise. Then Disney came along and bought Star Wars (something George Lucas asked them to do) and what do they do? They create a new trilogy and they bring in all these fans both new and old, then they make all these comics and novels with more marketing that get attracted to again new and old fans, they go and make shows like Rebels and Resistance which get more new young fans (speaking of which Rebels is incredible and just because its animated doesn't mean it for kids), they then make live action Star Wars shows like Mandalorian and Andor which are incredible, they give fans what they want in the form of a Kenobi show, and yes Kenobi and BOBF weren't that good but that doesn't mean they killed the franchise. They then also authorise a new wave of games (battlefront 1 and 2, JFO, Jedi Survivor and Squadrons) which are all really good games. And now they've announced all these new promising films and shows. Also what was the alternative? Never sell it, because then we would never get any more Star Wars ever, maybe we'd get George's sequels but going off of leaks they would've been very divisive. And if they do sell it then to who? Fox? The guys who peaked in the 2000's and the last time they were given keys to a franchise in the form of X-men they created one of the most convoluted, confusing and overall garbage franchises oat. Maybe give it to the development hell that is Sony, who have released more bad then good and the only franchise stuff they did was Spider-man which has been pretty good but keeps getting rebooted every few years so trusting them with SW is stupid. And aside from that no-one else could've done it, Pixar and Blue Sky only do animation and while yes Pixar's was incredible they wouldn't do well with SW and were also owned by Disney so. And Blue Sky could barely make a good film and then went bankrupt. So Disney was the best and only option And one final thing, Disney isn't even the one really in charge of Star Wars, they're just the parent company. Lucasfilm LTD are the ones who actually make all the decisions, Disney just provides money and occasional input, then gets profit, same as they do with Marvel, Pixar and everything else they own. And don't go calling me a "Disney shill" and a "cuck" or whatever the hell else because I have my fair share of problems with Disney Star Wars, crappy management, not a lot of talking with the fans, cancelling basically every announced project (film mainly), some shitty stuff with the comics, the sequels despite the fact I enjoyed them were still rushed, poorly planned (if planned at all), had pretty meh characters and development, and overall weren't the best. BOBF was shit, Kenobi could've been better, cancelling CW in its prime and now apparently they're continuing work on Andor (the greatest Star Wars show), despite the writer's strike, which is a problem because last season the writer's were always on set ready to make adjustments based off of how things were going and all that (sure they barely made any changes at all but it was still good having them there). Then if we look away from Disney Star Wars and onto the MCU you can see the rushed effects and rushed quality (something that hasn't happened to Star Wars but I feel could). Then you've also got the fat they gave the license to SW games strictly to EA, who while yes have done great work with the games, it would've been a millions times better (and probably more profitable) to just have it be an open license meaning any studio can work on and publish a SW game so long as they have permission (which is what they're doing now with all developers like Respawn, Aspyr, Zynga, Ubisoft, Saber, Quantic Dream, Skydance etc all working on SW games). And then let's not forget how mixed Mando season 3 was, with them juggling a million different things and barely any of it getting time to bloom and the whole rushed feel of it. I also think they had a hand in the decision to bring Grogu back in BOBF and make Din a bigger player than Boba but I can't confirm that. So for all my praise I still acknowledge the crap that has happened under them. I feel the Star Wars fandom needs to be more open, the fandom nowadays is either one of two sides, constant hate and harassment even when its good or constant love and praise even when its bad. We need to have both, we need to all call it out when its bad but also acknowledge the good, not just be stuck in this twisted circle jerk view of "everything they do is garbage" or "everything they do it perfect" because thats the exact opposite, its a mix of good and bad and we all need to acknowledge that not just stick to all of it being bad or all it being good. Because frankly thats just a braindead and pathetic view and any-one who thinks that is sad and lying to themselves

Say Eck, I heard the Rishi Maze might have got a mention in Jedi Survivor. If that’s true, could you do a video on it on that clips channel of yours? Also with all due respect, I’m doubtful that the galaxy will have a new galactic government after Exegol. Even if some of the First Order survives to bide it’s time and even if the Resistance tries to create a new government, there will be serious doubt in a new government after seeing how quickly the New Republic fell after the First Order destroyed Hosnian Prime. What was left of the military was divided up by surviving senators to protect their homes, leaving the rest of the galaxy to get conquered. And despite the Resistance being the first ones to fight the First Order and spearheading the attack on Exegol, it took a fleet of people from all across the galaxy to defeat the Sith Eternal. Basically I’m doubtful people really will have any trust for galactic institutions. They may decide that the galaxy never needed a galactic government and try to live on their own. Maybe some worlds sign alliances recognizing how working together allowed them to defeat a massive enemy, but otherwise there may be no galactic unity. Actually, that would be a cool story for the movie. After all, supposedly this new movie is about Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order, so maybe at the same time her friends from the Resistance are also trying to recreate a new galactic government, but they’re opposed by so many planets who don’t believe in living together anymore. Despite the intentions of these worlds though, there will be serious negative consequences. For one thing, any planet rich enough will be able to create superweapons or massive militaries and attack each other. Planets that are attacked may have allies, but otherwise may get no help unless the attackers prove to be a galactic threat. Maybe surviving members of the First Order manipulate worlds to stay independent of the new government, so that they can slowly take them over by infiltrating their governments. Or just like in the Phantom Menace, the bad guys are going to be corporations who will really thrive in this era. No galactic laws to restrict them. And planets will still be dependent on trade guilds. The happy ending for the movie would not just include the Jedi Order returning to the galaxy, but several worlds change their minds and join the new galactic government to bring the galaxy back to the thousand year peace preceding the Clone Wars.

Not good with Star Wars history but I would say kotor 2 events or the mandalorian wars

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Ancient Sith and their knowledge, or lack thereof about the Star Forge! Ajunta Pall alludes quite heavily to the treasure of the Ancient Sith from his era to be the Star Forge, but I have yet to see this referenced anywhere else. I don't believe anyone other than the Rakatta, Revan, and Malak had anything to do with the Star Forge, or even had any knowledge whatsoever about its existence, and yet Pall seems to state otherwise and the Star Map is located within Naga Sadow's tomb, which couldn't have been a coincidence. Continuity error? Plot thread left unresolved? #askeck

The Etrnal Empire conquest that started 3636 BBY would be one of the worst years. Loosing most of your Jedi and Sith to an unknown force that devastated your fleets and subjugated the galaxy in a year.

What timing. A week after that one Dark Empire video was released.

No year is worse than the year that Solo and last jedi came out

The worst moments in Star Wars history aren’t the Sequel Trilogy? Interesting

[@kamikaze5528]

No. That's Imperial propaganda. Star Wars ended during 2014.

Yeah, things took a massive south turn when Dark Empire happened, but that can make swell storytelling. -James M

The New Jedi Order. "Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy lasted 4 years 21 years after the events Return of the Jedi." I know not Canon, but 100 times more Star Wars then what Disney did to it ;-)

[@jeffagain7516]

Thanks Eck. Good vid Buddy. I think your title is apropos but for a different reason. All the ridiculous nonsense brought out in this storyline is hilariously bad, imho. Palpatine having a conveyor belt of clone bodies, World Devastators, Galaxy Gun and other silly uber weapons. Certainly a case of throwing EVERYTHING at the wall to see what sticks. As bad as the sequels were, they have stiff competition from the "Dark Empire" hilarity.

It was probably during the great Galactic War in which Sith conquered Coruscant and burned down the Jedi Temple.

Dark empire is definitely far better written and make more sense than the sequel trilogy, at least tom veich better emasculated and humiliated both luke Skywalker and han solo also dark empire papaltine was a badass. Leia showed her grow with the force, Disney star wars is soulless poorly written generic watered down childish small repetitive uncreative small and boring

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

New trilogy was done without rhyme, reason or explanation. Hilariously it wasn't even gonna be a dark empire ripoff. That's someone's last minute pulled out the ass decision.

@Noah Tyler Pritchett they still copy alot from the eu rey is Jaina solo rip off and kylo Ren is a cheap nockoff of darth caedus

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I always said, the new trilogy has great concepts and godawful execution. Episode 9 script was originally a revolution on Coruscant with everyone rebelling against the first order and half the stormtroopers switching to the rebellion side destroying a moon size city wide space ship with Rey killing hundreds on a ship turning Kylo to the lightside. Instead we got a million ships with penis shaped Lazer guns.

Just imagine if you're born in Leends in 30 BBY and you live a good long life and die in your eighties in around 53 ABY. You spend the vast majority of your life either in a war or under a tyrannical regime. Sometimes both. Clone Wars 22-19 BBY, The Empire 19-1BBY, First Galactic Civil War 1 BBY-19 ABY, Vong War 25 ABY - 29 ABY, Second Galactic Civil War 41-42 ABY. And probably more I forgot. Living in Legends would suck.

[@emzonik8851]

The thing is, not every planet suffered equally, some people suffered during certain conflicts, at other times they were chilling. For somebody living on Coruscant the worst years wpuld come in 19BBY, 4ABY, 7ABY (argubly) and of course 10ABY & 27ABY.
