Why Ancient Sith Left Something Terrible In a Hidden Room In the Jedi Temple - Star Wars Explained

Legends is the true canon.

Legends is all that matters to me.

Disney Star Wars could not handle full on Sith Stories.

I think the "Once more the sith will rule the galaxy" within the context of legends refers to the Republic dark age druing new the sith wars. During the mellenia long period of war there was a time when the sith controlled most of the galaxy, and the Republic only consisted of a few star stystems in the colonies and the core worlds.

This is an area I think Cal Kestis should explore i love the Jedi games I can’t wait for the 3rd one I also think the 3rd game should have a Starweird boss fight and I think it should be even more crazy and wild than the boss fight we had with Ravis if Cal goes to the sith shrine you should have to fight one of those Sith beasts that were in Kotor i really want to see more of the Sith shrine in canon tho

It should be noted that the core events and names of the old ‘Tales of the Jedi’ comics are still canon or at least in canon legends. Plus the reason for the long series of conflicts between the ancient Sith and Jedi as fallout from the Second Schism in Legends can be attributed to Lucas who either couldn’t keep things straight in his head or was just coming up with more reasons for the EU writers to write stories and make money for Lucasfilm. Because he had originally said that it took place in 7,000 bby, but then he changed his mind to 5,000 bby, then 4,000 bby (which is why the basics of this are still canon). But then for the prequels he changed his mind again, it was between 2,000 and 1,000 bby, and it has always been that way. So both Legends and writers for the new canon had to retcon all of that into a coherent continuity, which wasn’t Lucas’ strong suit. And this is true in both canon and Legends; The Second Schism: 7,000 bby The Hundred Year Darkness. Starting with a conflict with a group of dark Jedi. The defeated dark Jedi were exiled to the Unknown Regions and landed on the home world of the Sith and founded the Sith Order. 5,000 bby The Great Hyperspace War. This happened when the Republic and Jedi first came into with the Sith Empire. Which turned into a war led on the Sith side by Naga Shadow. When Sadow was defeated, he fled to Yavin 4 with his Massassi who built the Temples that we see in the movies. The Kron Nebula was formed and Ossus was devastated. 4,000 bby The Great Sith War. Where we have Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma, former Jedi turned to the Darkside, allied with the Mandalorians to start a war with Republic and the Jedi Order. Years later Darth Revan became an infamous Sith Lord. There are a few more details, but this is the basics of it. In case the ‘Legends’ label didn’t make it clear enough. It’s fair to say, that we can apply this to the rest of the pre-movie era Legends EU. The basic big details are true, but the stories and minor details are legends… until Lucasfilm clarifies it with a new story. In my mind only the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy are true retellings from the Book of the Whills. With the Clone Wars being the next clearest account. Everything else are stories based on partial information and notes that Lucas found in an old droid data processor that came here a long long time ago from a galaxy far far away. And so both the Legends EU and the new canon with its own new EU are just alternate universes of might have happened, based on that partial information and notes made by Lucas.

The Legends continuity > X ∞ Disney Star Wars

I think a mix of both would be very interesting include in all the favorite sith in legends but also create new lore with a point in time the sith ruled with 5000 years unaccounted for its possible to do it even if some timelines need to change

Every time I see this title it makes me think a Sith took a dark-side dump in a corner.

If it weren't for Kotor and Swtor I would not even care about Star Wars Disney and Filoni have killed the stories I enjoyed as a kid

Perhaps Tales of Jedi Season 2 could explore it? That series is the perfect place to explore a concept like this.

I will never call Korriban by that other name

A war by definition is a great many skirmishes and or battles

Andor made the Rakata canon, time for them to shine.

Please, make a Star Wars lore about everything and anything at all!

He left an ancient fart jar. Pure concentrated dark side energy.

I would love to see more of this. There’s so much more room to explore and don’t let KK touch it even though it’s in the hands of Disney. If you want to introduce new characters and go off script and not totally screw things up I think this would be a really good place to start, and to begin a new

You can do it both ways, because it is impossible that the Jedi would remember their history correctly, it would make this dichotomy, like in Rashomon, there you tell the same story many times from many perspectives, like the Gospels, and the reader much choose, what he feels is the truth and all those different ways impacting different characters who choose different sides for different reasons. It would give the Jedi saying "This is just your truth, form a certain point of view!" a new sinister meaning.

I won't lie: the constant jabs at the "new canon" had me giggle. 🤭

I like the new one, it has a ring to it - gives us interesting perspective... and it seems fair from story standpoint: if Sith are that powerful how come they never won? and now they did
