I have a question. Did Marka Ragnos make a Holocron? We know about his artifacts but what about his knowledge? He accepted death. Was his plan just to hoard it all as a Force ghost?

[@brettbibb2559]

Yes, I would love to have a detailed look at all three of Sidious's books of Sith and what they entail as well and when he possibly wrote them during his lifetime in star wars lore (legends and canon-current). Thanks. P.S. Can you also do a detailed history of the Telos Holocron and of it's importance and how, when it was made, also how long it's existed, etc., and it's uniqueness and also compare it to the most important Jedi holocron-whatever that maybe. Suggestion: you could do a video detailing the most important Jedi holocron in Star Wars lore: description, history, who created it, etc., how long it's existed, etc.

[@TheJediCaptain]

Were there ever instances where the training of a Jedi Padawan was started by one Master and finished by another for reasons other than the death? Does Lore ever talk about Masters who wanted to pass off, or ones who wanted to train another; or a Padawan who, partway through, wanted to be trained by another?

[@shkotayd9749]

Yup, a lot of us would love JUST these kinds of explainer vids. You and your crew always find lore I never knew of :D

[@EmberedAshe]

It’s interesting how Vaders defeat on Mustafar changed his perspective. Wasnt he willing to one day let Vader take control of the empire before he lost to Obi Wan? If that had happened, perhaps Palps wouldve made his own Holocron

[@Force_user57]

By the way guys he did create his own holocron, it's mentioned in the Darth Plagueis novel so this video spreads misinformation

[@jastermereel6949]

@@EmberedAshe the Emperor never intended to give up any power. He always intended to be the last of the Sith, even when he was training under darth plagueis. His power was the culmination of 1000 years of Sith improvement and power building through the rule of two. Vader might’ve been a close equal partner to share his rule with possibly before what happened at mustafar but the emperor would always keep a way to defeat him in his back pocket because he knows the Sith always turn on each other when there is power equity

[@EmberedAshe]

@@Force_user57 yes but he’s going off canon, which that book is no longer. There’s the canon timeline, then there’s Legends.

@@jastermereel6949 i swear I remember seeing that he thought maybe Vader would’ve one day been worthy to replace him, until his defeat on Mustafar

[@jamesconway8173]

Darksidious was wise to put all his knowledge and their agent Harley crime as well as putting in in all three books that way, even if the whole crown got destroyed all the knowledge is in the 📕 so it’s brilliant and maybe just maybe what if he makes contact from the real chaos Realm through a special ritual that he could learn from the night sister one day, and once she finds out the truth, secrets of the night sisters then he could make himself a perfect body, as well as learn to make a perfect host like they did with the two sisters and the show acolyte except brothers instead and using them only to use them as host and a sacrifice and imagine if he could whenever he dies, they come back to life and whenever they die he comes back to life and it’s a circle all over again and again never stopping until the Jedi somehow separate him from the chaos realms

Sheev Palpatine is a narrow minded psychopath. He doesn't share, he takes. He also made it abundantly clear in the Book Of The Sith. Anyone who hasn't read it should, ot paints a whole new perspective who the Sith Lords really are. But always remember it's the Rakatans who paved the way to the Sith Lords and left behind their technology as a starter pack.

[@Ravenfanatic5]

Off the top of my head, I would say cuz Sidious believed he would be the final sith to ever exist

[@robertagu5533]

He likely NEVER expected to need to. Along sources basically spell out he figured he was THE END of the Rule of 2 in a way that'd mean like many things a Sideous Holocron was a thing of the Sith past. An the Darkside an Sith had HIM now.. no further Holocrons needed.. can imagine one made by him would be a VERY to extremely deviou, manipulative an tricky one perhaps even risky an dangerous to get approval to study from

[@joshuahenderson3444]

I like to think the reason Sidious never created holocrons was bcuz he was jus too power hungry and too self serving to share any knowledge with anyone but instead hoard away knowledge for his own ends even from Darth Vader who he deemed unworthy since his failure on Mustafar

let's not forget starwars is made up. we had an imperial assault campaign "star wars dnd" that was about 3 clones of Anakin. one all that was good and pure. one that was all his rage and anger, the last one was a straight copy. the evil one died, the good one turned evil over love and the last made a new empire and won. anyway there was a massive story arc over palpatines holocron of our own making. if your reading and watching this there is a good chance you know more then you should about starwars. grab your friends and some dice and make up your own lore.

I can answer for you this is the very beginning of the video. There was never going to be another sith Lord after sidious he was going to live forever and be the final sith Lord. Making a holocron would have been pointless

[@witchkingangmar2731]

The sith are selfish my nature one would make one only knowing they are going to die so it’s safe to assume he did not believe he would die.

[@lordofpain3476]

Why would the great Lord Sidious create a holocron for future generations ? Our beloved Emperor planned on living forever , besides why would he waste his knowledge on inferior wannabe Sith ? Nobody could possibly be a worthy successor , only a pale knockoff .

[@Xogroroth666]

"Why Palpatine Never Created a Sith Holocron of His Own (Not why you think)." Because (Ignoring the Erroneous Universe, AKA Disneyfication, AKA Kathleen Kennedyfication, since, not Legends Lore, which is the TRUE Lore established by Mr. Star Wars himself.) he was incapable, too stupid, too weak. A Palpafail. To make one, one has to have a STRONG Force Attunement. A really strong Force Attunement gives certain knowledge, such as Sith Magic/Dark Side Magic, or the unique gift that Galen Marek had. And no, Fart Siddifail was not "one of the most powerful", as I said in other videos of you stating this error. Funny, how you have video after video that conflicts with other videos you made earlier.

[@darthrevan7923]

palpatine is just a crappy version of vitiate. man scared of essence transfering into anything that can fight back. mean while vitiate literally takes a piece of his soul and devours hundreds of force sensitive beings completely carving their souls out of their bodies all controlled by one being from across the galaxy... palpatine just out right fails as a sith by rule of 2 logic he isnt even a true sith nor was his master so cant be mad that he isnt as good as the real sith from the past.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

First comment!! I know sidious possessed quite a few holocrons from Sith Lords past and bestowed them on his main apprentices to supplement their training. Also thank you sooo much for following ledgends btw. I think sidious didn’t acknowledge the main reason bane adopted the rule of two. There was always a chance that his own followers could band together and rise against him but his own overconfidence blinded him to this very real threat.
