Why Did the Sith CREATE the Rakghoul Plague Before KOTOR?

[@100StarWars]

If only those Undercity Folk wore their masks and got their vaccines... right? ;)

[@shacus945]

It works in swtor, right?

[@boy_tryhard3786]

Oof..

[@thehypestpiknick2755]

Ayyyyyy

[@Kyfas7]

Haha nice one! xD

[@michaelandreipalon359]

What about bubble shields?

[@The-Black-Death]

I really wish they did more with the Rakghouls and Korriban in general, especially Korriban in KOTOR2, it'd be perfect if we could encounter the Rakghouls again on Korriban and learn more about them in game, they were technically created on Korriban after all and I'm sure some still exist there within some cave systems there. I also think it'd be cool if they added a Rakghoul boss or mini-boss as well, like a Rakghoul Behemoth or Ancient Rakghoul, and just have it be difficult to take down to add to the scary and memorable factor.

[@AndreNitroX]

The rakghouls have to be one of the most effective horror elements in stars, a story that took place across multiple time eras in star wars to boot!

[@Jedi_Spartan]

Personally I want to see a full Rakgoul transformation in the KOTOR remake rather than just a flash of light.

[@9-b_b-9]

That would be killer! Fingers crossed its just good to begin with 🤞🤞

[@100StarWars]

It could be SO good.

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

Skin splitting, bones cracking, agonizing screams that changes mid-way into savagr roars and growls.

[@CaffeinatedWolfe]

The finer details of this were something that I actually wasn't aware of, so bravo as always for great content. You're one of precious few KZbinrs I watch Star Wars content from.

[@100StarWars]

I appreciate that! :D

[@Kyler-o1h]

Thank you for focusing on this part of Star Wars, it’s really the only thing that keeps me coming back to star wars

[@marshalllatta2073]

Star wars universe is so amazing i wish we all star wars fans was in that universe

[@thesilentguardian3243]

That’d be awesome if it was possible.

[@AnakinNikkilys]

I've read kotor, rebellion and legacy comics so I did know the origin story of the plague. But I don't really recall anyting about Sorzus Syn. Thank for the video and for the focus on the kotor era. Old republic most interesting and lovefull period in star wars for me. P.S. You have a cool voice. Always enjoying listening to it.

[@100StarWars]

That's very kind of you, thanks! :)

[@Thelordmagedon]

I’d love to see a long form video from you on Dromund Kaas and the Sith Worlds after SWTOR

[@100StarWars]

Thanks for the suggestion !

[@540VarialHunter]

I seem to remember seeing the talisman in the Knights of the Old Republic comic, and I was surprised it was how the plague has spread.

[@Steel-101]

Actually yes I was already aware about The origins of this plague. I know about the origins because of the Star Wars Legacy comic book(it’s pretty cool that you used some of the pictures from the comic book in your video). However I didn’t know that so many people were infected on Taris. that number is terrifying.

[@georgesuarez8325]

Fascinating and insightful video my friend. The Rakghouls have always sacred and freaked me out when I first found out about them

[@chaselough7808]

Thanks for another solid video. Here’s to hoping things in the algorithm get better for you.

[@100StarWars]

I appreciate it, Chase.

[@funchfries]

I was aware of this, but I'm not surprised most people aren't, after the ignominious death of the EU. Good vid man

[@100StarWars]

Thanks! :))

[@marcwittkowski5146]

For me personally it was the first time hearing of the plague starting out as something caused by sith magic. Thats pretty cool.

[@MichaelTheJones]

I didn't know this before but I do now thanks! The Force has always been incredibly strong with this channel 👊🏼👌🏽

[@100StarWars]

You learn something new everyday!

[@DarthCuddlefluff]

I did know everything in this video except for how the amulet ended up on taris and fell into Manda hands. Thanks for the info! :D

[@spacepirates5044]

First time hearing about this! Great and informative video as always, thanks :)

I kind of knew it just never came out as a concrete thought.

[@100StarWars]

And now it will!

[@BlazingSnake50]

I still remember the first time I saw a Rakghoul, it scared the crap outa me when I was 8, and never played till arround I was 16.

[@danielbruun6917]

I did know it already, but cool to see a lot of new folks got to learn it

[@miqvPL]

I think I was aware of it being sith magic because of your video from the past. Or I looked it up when playing kotor

[@100StarWars]

I think I mentioned it being Sith Magic but not too much into the depth on how it was created!

[@cofiecoffcoff4287]

I knew about darth vader's encounter with a sith woman who seemingly was giving the plague to everyone around her but I didnt know about the why and hows. So thank you for the informative video!

[@RJDaHero01522]

Love getting tho XP from them in STWOR

[@ethanpowell16]

This was amazing!! I was always curious of its origins omg

[@100StarWars]

The more you know ;)

[@TipsySpinda]

I knew, but, I didn't know that there were 3 amulets. I thought the Muur Talisman was the only one

[@100StarWars]

Always something new to learn!

[@Ramiel277]

You are truly wise I wish to learn all you know

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

I knew, but thank you for all the extra details.

[@SithAesthetics]

I would so much love to learn more about the 12 first dark lords, mostly Dreypa, he looks sick, maybe in futur SWTOR content.

Hello there

[@WarDogMadness]

Rakghoul are one of many best bits of star wars lore

[@100StarWars]

They are a lot of fun!

[@avenfarcaster5189]

Play Kotor 1 and always wondered where it came from. I did look into it some years ago through other channels and forums and I did discover before this video where it came from and it was pretty interesting. I admit though I didn't know about how the talisman was created or there was another Apprentice that helped bring it into being.

[@100StarWars]

The more you know! :)

[@alexandrelaborie6207]

Yes I read this story first in Legacy and then read the Vector crossover comic

[@fsm1137]

great video as always

[@100StarWars]

Thanks, Nick!

[@MehlDragon]

I did know that the plague was sith related but can't remember if I found out before KOTOR or after. I just know at some point I looked it up after hearing about it wanting to learn more.

[@Regulus985]

I still love the VECTOR comics, sigh, RIP Dark Horse.

[@100StarWars]

:((

[@joshuaschmaling2006]

I did know this from SWTOR ( my favorite game ) but the exact details I was not aware of! So yet another great video!! P.S you should do some SWTOR content 😅

[@100StarWars]

I do touch SWTOR here and there haha

[@bear8696]

I think when I played kotor I picked up that the sith were the ones who created the plague, but not the how behind it

[@jonahstirbis3408]

6000 thousand people Holy shit thats a fast plague.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

I have heard this before and i remember in the game you do find a cure. Also have you done a video on the nekghouls?

[@100StarWars]

Not a direct topic but I essentially covered them in my last Rakghoul video.

[@MBP1918]

Incredible

[@Phenix19]

SWTOR actually directly addresses the plague being created by the Sith, though it doesn't go into any detail, except for maybe in a codex entry

[@100StarWars]

Shame considering how often the Rakghoul event shows up.

[@Catalog515]

I was already aware of the rakghoul plagues origins thanks to the "book of sith".

[@100StarWars]

Nice!

[@thestanleys3657]

So a star wars version of the T-virus from resident evil (similar to anyway) Yes I was aware of the rakghuol origin story

[@LJ-qq8lx]

Didn't you tease this video in the last rahkghoul video like a year ago? Better late than never lmao

[@100StarWars]

Yeah was quite a while ago haha

[@dar-nakkallig]

Knew already, thanks to; Swtor, Book of Sith, and older YT videos. I assume Sorzus made the plague and Karness enhanced it (since Sorzus wrote about it in her section of the Book of Sith, I doubt Karness would have shared his plague with Sorzus else she’ll get to work perfecting it further, lol)

[@myrekium9785]

I had a feeling that the Sith had a hand with those creatures

[@100StarWars]

Who else? xD

[@Dewydidit]

SWTOR covers this in several storylines.

[@damaskholdings9140]

I have a question,why didnt Nihilus go and consume Coruscant ?There were so many living beings there.

Nihilus only consumed Force rich worlds.

well, you do learn about this in swtor, there are storylines involving rakghouls and a event, don't really like the event though, except from the imp broeadcast ... infected have to report for imediate incineration... XD

[@The-Mstr-Pook]

Comment for the Algorithm: Yes I knew. Having read TOR issue 5 crossover graphic novel where Vader fights Rakghouls.

[@mistmanjones3555]

Why would Sin give the amulet away? It doesn’t seem very Sith to willingly give away power, even before it had the plague in it the amulet would’ve been considerably powerful in the dark side.

[@bugsm6108]

Am i right In thinking that rancors were also made by the sith
