Why the YELLOW Lightsabers of Arcann & Thexan are Way More Important Than You Realize

[@morrgash]

The lore of the Old Republic is so amazing, i wish they show that in live action and upcoming project.

[@Free4orall]

Be happy they don't...

[@morrgash]

Oh sadly you are right, unless Kathleen Kennedy is removed we can't trust anything from Disney@@Free4orall

[@gimpsickle5806]

My absolute favorite faction in Star Wars

[@Larrythemustacheman]

This is the way

[@soullessseraph6154]

I honestly agree. I like that they are essentially neutral within the force, in the way that they study. You can easily learn Anything, and I love that.

[@robertshawn77]

​@@soullessseraph6154dude, they were dark side users..

[@MrSpannners]

I love this faction, as it's basically the Star Wars version of the Spacemarines from 40K

[@Intrepid_A]

Lana Beniko: Knights of Zakuul. A policing body under Vaylin's charge. Force sensitives. Player Character: Are they more like us, or more like the Jedi? Lana: To them, the Force is an instrument to be used in the pursuit of justice. Nothing more.

[@thalmoragent9344]

None of them meditated or used the force with that kind of philosophy? Seems a waste tbh

[@Intrepid_A]

@@thalmoragent9344 They did mediate and used the force, just not in the way the jedi or sith medidated and use the force. Their philosophy is they serve the immortal emperor and his offspring.

[@Spectral-Senpai]

So many lightsaber colors are so cool wish we saw more but mostly we get the really common ones

[@Sp_acecowboy]

Please dont ever stop making videos ❤️

[@aster4jaden]

Could you please do more Legend Lightsaber (like the Soulsaber) Content? I love how some LIghtsaber Crystals in Legends had different powers and even could corrupt Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force.

[@jonnovember2136]

These saber parts are not easily accessible🤔 to the public under the impossible circumstances😫 of the Empire💩... They most likely got the funding from #TDBank💳 to make such a crafted trinket... 🌎💘💰

[@davidsmith7962]

These twins had my interest when I saw the trailer for this game.

[@SevereWeatherCenter]

Awesome channel! I really want Star Wars to bring back legends

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

Not under Kathleen Kennedy story group

[@LordWyatt]

Great video:) I like the symbolism of the yellow blade representing the color of the sun (and the implied longevity of the Eternal Throne)

[@brokenbridge6316]

I would want to be a Jedi Sentinel and wield a yellow lightsaber. Well double-bladed lightsaber with yellow on one side and purple on the other.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Another oddity of Zakuul, the serpent icon they wore on their armor was symbolic of Zildrog, the Iokath machine god that could destroy the force entirely. That was how Tenebrae destroyed all traces of the force on Nathema, he had control of Zildrog and the gravestone which was Zildrog's "delivery system" and used it to consume all traces of the force on the planet, and imbued himself with it. That was why Nathema was literally a dead hole in the force.

[@SkinnyEatWorld95]

This was excellent. I love learning more about TOR.

[@MatthewHWise]

I think it would be suitable for the Yellow Lightsaber to be the embodiment of Law, Order, and/or Royalty with your explanation. It would be interesting to see the history of the yellow Lightsaber and who was the first to create it if Star Wars ever decide to explore the history of Lightsabers whether in animation, live-action, etc.

[@TobyRiley-lh3eq]

The yellow lightsaber is arguably the most UNDERRATED weapon in Star Wars!!! I wish we got to see it more in the Star Wars cannon

[@CurtAries]

Happy New Year @The Stupendous Wave. I hope your channel stays for a long time. Your content is very entertaining and has tons of side information that is interesting. I'm looking forward to another year of catching your videos. Great job so far!

[@colinleat8309]

Finally! Thanks explaining the difference between the Green and Blue saber. It's bugged me for decade's. I honestly didn't know. 👍

[@matthew1977]

You are my favorite Star Wars KZbinr, Stupendous, thank you for all of your superb videos😌

[@florilaan]

I really enjoy Viciates eternal empire and the actors within it. Along with Revan and the events surrounding him and his factions, they make for the most interesting bits of lore for me.

[@Dragon66898]

The Knights of Zakuul have the same view of the force that I would have if I made a Force order. Expect maybe the view on lightsaber colors, but I figured the yellow/gold color lightsabers simply meant they where the prince/princess while purple would have meant king, I wasn’t far off it seems.

[@MrSpannners]

"You will face it, alone"

[@opsecmedic]

The first time I saw a yellow lightsaber was when i played Masters of Teräs Käsi as a kid and it was my favorite ever since.

[@timedork777]

Alright, this lone bit of information just confirms that it's high time I do a deep dive on this faction.

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

Sentinels were the Jedi equivalent of covert operatives and the twins seemed to use blitzkrieg tactics designed to eliminate Republic and Sith forces before the wider galaxy could be informed of what was going on. So maybe yellow symbolizes those with a mind for subtlety.

[@WaaaghbossOrkamungus]

Personally I actually wouldn't agree here, as all of Valkorion's children were trained in a manner entirely divorced from Jedi traditions. Stupendous probably has a point here with them desiring to stand out. Also, keep in mind the ways in which both Arcann and later on Vaylin ruled: they were iron-fisted tyrants who bombared planets into rubble with minimal provocation. At least from the player's perspective in SWTOR, they're both a lot of things, but certainly not subtle in their approach.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Subtlety is not a term I would ever associate with Arcann, Thexan and most especially Vaylin. Vaylin also may have been the most powerful force user to exist ... ever.

[@commanderdoomgaming6773]

Sen'a (the mother) did not refuse the yellow Lightsaber. She just did not use it often. However, she used it to defend herself after her daughter attacked her at the end of the cinematic "Betrayal"

[@gregisk123]

Appreciate the content. Thank you!

[@VandelSavage1433]

So, in my opinion, this group was actually what the Sith should been like hopefully Dave Fillony will find a way to incorporate this into the new Era

[@Gor85]

This is extremely impressive. Really powerful warriors and Empire. They weren't gods,they were just immensely gifted in the Force. Have a phenomenal day too :)

[@mrvwbug4423]

Yet the actual goal of Valkorian was to destroy all existence and even the force itself. He wanted to literally be the only thing in existence in the entire universe. He had the means to destroy the force itself in Zildrog

[@StarWars_TheFan]

I have an interesting off topic sw question. Can Wookies speak other languages? Cause they can always seem to understand other languages but never seem to speak them.

[@frenzalrhomb6919]

It may well be that, like other Simian species on Earth, like say anything from a Monkey to a Great Ape, they simply don't have the physical ability in their throats and oesophagus, to be able to form words in the same manner that you or I do. And also, the reverse is true. We couldn't even attempt to speak their language because of the physical structures of our own oesophagus and throats, although none of these limitations on either species has stopped up from learning one another's languages!! Cool, eh? .. 👍

[@Wtfydoihavethis]

Like, dogs or babies, let’s say, they can understand, but cannot speak it back to us.

[@StarWars_TheFan]

Thanks❤️

[@bossbradley]

Want so much more of this!

[@dimitriusvoldun8031]

I think it also includes faction, because all of the prophets had... I think they were magenta sabers.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Yup, the oracles had magenta sabers and were more akin to Sith Sorcerers than front line combatants.

[@frankieclayton9303]

The yellow lightsaber is my favorite plus has a spiritual meaning

[@kingkongchief1177]

Jedi sentinels with yellow lightsabers are the special forces of the Jedi order. They’re the most badass Jedi. Sidious even feared them more than anybody during the galactic empire.

[@Magnificent7Seven]

In the old comics, Plo Kloon use a yellow light saber.

[@tuxedotservo]

I've played through the KotFE and KotET numerous times, but don't recall seeing Valkorion with a lightsaber... 6:01 the image you show here is Arcann swinging for Valkorion's neck with his saber immediately before Thexan Force Pulled Arcann away in the cinematic trailer "Sacrifice" ... (spoiler, I guess?) ... ... even when you take on the form of Valkorion in your character's mind, he doesn't have a lightsaber - all the powers you get to use are Force abilities. Is Valkorion with a yellow lightsaber - or, really, a lightsaber at all - in a novel/comic?

[@Hi-vu6kt]

I recently replayed this expansion and noticed that in the very last fight against valkorion thexan carries a blue lightsaber in that fight. I really want to know if this was just a mistake by the devs or if that has a special meaning...

[@jamesbrockis5182]

Please, more lore on the Eternal Empire.

[@jamesgossel9483]

I would choose purple if there was a choice!

[@cjevans6464]

Fun fact arrcan and thexan both fought and beat darth malgus they are insane

[@karlrovey]

When did they encounter Malgus? He was thought dead from the False Emperor arc until he reappeared on Ossus.

[@saladinbob]

I haven't played TOR in about a decade, at least. Is it worth revisiting in 2024?

[@00Mindi00]

I wish Disney / Lucasfilm would LISTEN TO THE FANS. We've been literally SCREAMING for this to be made into a film or TV series for YEARS.

[@tomjom4865]

What a good faction

[@nomad8024]

I would love to see these characters created into figures by the black series

[@markhagopian3257]

Good vid.

[@christiangiamalis9924]

What games/books can teach me more about this

[@precotto5466]

Yea!

[@bathanh150]

Emperor vitiate and valkorion is tenebrae it all 😂😂😂

[@RationalCatholic]

Whose hilt is at 6:34? i want one ..... that thing is beautiful

[@Dedu1214]

Thats thexxans if im not mistaken, regardless, i agree. Its a really delicious weapon

[@Tarik_sldt]

i really hope this big scale story is adapted some day man

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

Nah Disney will ruin it

[@Tarik_sldt]

@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 allways "disney will ruin it" they can actually make good things if they attatch the right people and i would rather see them try then to never get an adaptation

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

@Tarik_sldt there's no right people right now in Lucasfilm and Dave filoni is an overrated talentless hack who steal from others writers doesn't care about continuity and consistency all he cares about is ashoka tano

[@Tarik_sldt]

@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 i also dont really like dave, i wouldnt say all that about him, but rogue one and andor are great

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

@Tarik_sldt rogue one would be a mediocre movie without the vader scene Disney star wars doesn't have enough depth stakes and lore to keep me interested

[@bichance]

please do more swtor content!

[@TKB-u5r]

Love it

[@kc9602]

KoTOR would make for an Awesome film/Series. AS LONG AS disney IS NOT PERMITTED TO TOUCH ANY OF IT!!!

[@brandoneames03]

So basically, the Eternal Empire was the way things should be neither light nor dark. They study the force and share it no matter which way it leans. Sounds better than the Sith or Jedi.

[@kingshadow8782]

Heck Yeah!

[@Jimijam22]

I miss when lightsabers colors were based off the kyber crystal the Jedi chose.

[@redred1952]

Yeah thus bleeding bull shit. And the orange, pink cyan colors are cheesy imo. Red, blue,green, yellow and purple. That's it

[@jaredquinney204]

Interesting

[@andrewharmer7317]

Where and how did they get their yellow blades. Were they a natural crystal that turned yellow when they choose the crystal, a special natural crystal that was just gonna be yellow? Was it a fabricated yellow crystal?

[@marshalllatta2073]

Today My birthday love yellow lightsabers so much if I was a Jedi I'll have a yellow lightsaber

[@brentlashley2138]

Are they actually yellow or more like golden?

[@undisclosed_branding9714]

Honestly, lightsaber crystal colour really doesn't make sense anymore. I know people are trying, but the Harry Potter wand lore crap introduced in disneys cannon just doesn't work.

[@detroit8026]

Agreed. Other than red being a sith color, the green/blue/yellow or even purple idea makes sense mostly in the framework of video games.

[@BlairsVaultOfStarsAndDreams]

Wait, I thought Valkorion was just Vishiate? Edit: Ah, there it is. 😂

[@Unknown-rx9lt]

i want to see a pink saver honestly

[@joshuacrompton6974]

🔥

[@ElevateYourConsciousness]

Damn. I almost like them better then jedi and sith with the exception of Luke skywalkers jedi academy in legends

[@caseylawler3257]

Ive noticed Darth Krovos also wields a yellow lightsaber. I wonder why she does. She's not a Jedi she's a Dark Council member but maybe it's because of her stance in the force and in the sith empire as a whole. She's progressive and will acknowledge accomplishments by non sith as well as sith. Maybe it's a trophy from a Jedi she killed. Anybody have any idea why Darth Krovos has a yellow lightsaber?

[@kostamojin9591]

Title is messed up

[@JLoC.2479]

We need order who uses purple blades

[@johnblackhead2384]

Mace had a purple saber because Jackson has a huge ego.

[@theforcedragon3781]

Honestly if The Eternal Empire wasn’t ruled by a maniac I’d join them.

[@tyler-y4s]

They were good boys just shown a bad path to possibly follow

[@ME36_]

yellow is a mix of red and green, so it feels like a mix of someone who looks into not only the force, but their emotions

[@swgriff1]

Yellow is a primary color

[@greengenes5129]

Ffs

[@ME36_]

@swgriff1 yes yellow is a primary color, but yellow isn't a default value for our eyes. Also look it up

[@samuelrobles3737]

Day 359 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

[@jrharbar]

I Always thoght the following Blue for jedi padawans and Knights (Aprentices and working jedi) Greeen for Masters (Masters and council members) Yellow for sentinels (Special opps and inteligence) White for grey jedi (Nor light or dark side jedi) Red for sith (darkside) and purple for badass motherf****ers. . . .

[@TheWeezyfly]

Disney has all these dope timelines to explore and they choose to make Rey or play gender politics

[@mmelmon]

Chinese imperial dynasties limited the use of the color yellow to the Emperor. Wearing yellow when you were not the Emperor invited waves of assassins. Tangentially, I loved the Eternal Empire stuff so much, the rest of Star Wars seems kind of blah lol.

[@lordofpain3476]

The Eternal Emperor was truly a Superior being , he didn't even bother with inferiors ( unless they could be used to suit his purposes . ) We should all strive to be more like Valkorian , but unfortunately for 99.9 % of you , you are too inferior to ever even dream of achieving his superiority over mortals .

[@kingshadow8782]

Hi

[@anthonyjames2755]

My absolute most hated faction in Star wars. 😅

[@oddmanout8692]

So wouldnt that put Knights during the High Republic at olds since they used all colored lightsabers? The one who used yellow knew that in the past it was associated with God hood. For shame.

[@SHARKVADERS]

WHAT

[@radarlove232323]

Yellow lightsaber blade means you're into pissplay.

[@jeremievivianagriffin9458]

The purple lightsaber is bs,all bc Samuel Jackson wanted that color.
