I love how Malgus in the recent cinematic shows that being a Sith is not just lightning, red lightsabers and yellow eyes, its also the art of deception and spreading the darkness within self onto others
Ya dude, he’s super cunning and deceptive. He’s also great at masking his cruelty with compassion….. a true villain!
@YūGen and that is...?
I hope we get to learn what his plans actually are soon cause so far legacy of the sith has been very disappointing in terms of moving the plot forward
That is why I love Rebels' Maul. On Malachor he is clearly trying to deceive Ezra, but speaks like he is his friend, like he is trying to help him.
@@obi-wankenobi1329 “from my point of view the jedi are evil”
Malgus was the Vader of his time. Absolute legend of a character.
I agree
With limbs and not burned
He is one of my favourite sith after Tenebrae or vitiate.
@@DragonFist9323 and no master
Yep, just without any shred of redemption
The old republic is probably my favorite time period in Star Wars. Keep up all the phenomenal work!!
mine too! tons of jedi and sith, lightsaber battles left and right, most exciting timeline for me. i hope they make old republic movies at some point. would be cool to see like 40 lightsabers going at each other in live action
I agree even though it's been explored so much it still has that element of mystery which makes it enticing.
I agree too. Just total warfare in a galactic-scale that the movies doesnt show us.
Ancient technology, Ancient sith, Galaxy-Devouring Evils, World-killing Superweapons.
That's Star Wars at its finest.
We need an old republic show/movie, written by a good writer this time
@@Uncivil_Dreams did you mean the acolyte😉 i know its trash but it’s something
0:49, just a quick correction if anyone in the comments are confused, that was said a little bit backwards. BBY is "Before the Battle of Yavin(Episode 4), not "Battles Before Yavin," as that would be counting battles instead of years before or after a specific battle.
Yeah I noticed that too lol
@@moussamiller4812 Completely forgot about this, haha. Thanks for the reply, might rewatch the video later today. Been wanting to refresh my memory on some of the lore.
I would like to see you compare Malgus to other Sith Lords such as Vader and see how they stack up
EvanNova95 does a great job at that
@@darthdarthbinkss I just sub’d. Thanks for the recommendation!
Malgus vs. Vadar who wins in a fight?
@@krygerm Malgus wins eyes closed. Vader would not even pass trials on Korriban in old rep era timeline, sorry :)
@@rivenoakL
These videos are much appreciated bro. As someone who has never played The Old Republic (online) it's cool to learn about Malgus. I've always loved all TOR cinematic trailers.
The Hyperspace War stuff is DOPE. I love those old Tales of the Jedi comics! Have a lot of them. Exar Kun & Ulic were my favorite from the series that I read.
When the Old Republic trailers came out all those years ago and I saw Malgus I was instantly hooked on the character
Props to theory for providing explanation and backstory to these popular characters.
Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely, and they don't have backstories yet, canon works differently than Legends, so it'll be interesting to see their backstories in canon. Also if you didn't know:
Darth Revan was made canon in a deleted scene of the clone wars, he essentially told The Son what to do, he now also has his own canon wookiepedia article.
Darth Nihilus was a statue in the rise of Skywalker, some fans pointed that out. Don't know which one tho.
Kinda glad the Revan scene was deleted in the clone wars as it doesn’t make sense Revan or bane were advising the son when the ones were literal force gods and more powerful then any Sith or Jedi ever. However I do wish they included him somewhere maybe when yoda visited Moraband or something.
I think the other sith is not Malgus but bares resemblance to Tulak horde
@@thegreatid3595 it's not Moraband it's Korriban
Malgus was actually undefeatable in his prime. He had removed every liability he had including his lover , fiancee or some might consider slave just in order to have no weaknesses. (For context read the old republic books or play kotor games)
*SWTOR game
Malgus has evolved as a sith throughtout swtor, it shows that you can have character development and still remain consistent with the character's roots i.e. He's still a sith but he has broadened his horizons.
He gets defeated in SWTOR a lot though
They should make an animated series focusing on the old republic then later a movie
they need to wait a few years until we get better writers
unnecessary
Star Wars Theory never fails to disappoint his fans. He is an incredible person and fan.
I have spoken.
Neve fails to disappoint??
Mandalorian is cringe
Bro read the crap you wrote…
Malgus is an absolute BA. Big reason I love playing Swtor. Such an amazing character. We need some The Old Republic Series!
Great video man. You did well covering The Old Republic lore! You should make videos like this more often. The only issue I had is that you skipped the rise of the Sith Triumvirate, which was lead by Darth Traya and her two students, Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion. They gathered what remained of Revan & Malak’s forces after the Jedi Civil War and, with the help of Traya’s brilliant teachings and strategies, nearly wiped out the Jedi using stealth and bating tactics; less than 100 remained. This was the first Jedi Purge that took place before the Sacking of Coruscant and before Order 66.
Traya, like many Sith masters before her, was eventually betrayed by her apprentices and left for dead. She survived and took up her original name, Kreia, and sought a way to get revenge on her apprentices. This is also when she changed her philosophy and way of thinking. Having mastered both the Light and Dark sides of the Force, her eyes were opened to its true nature; and she hated it. So much so that Kreia wanted to destroy the Force. To “save” the galaxy from being enslaved by its will. The solution to both of her problems presented itself in the form of Meetra Surik, also known as The Exile.
Meetra’s story is a long one, and if anyone is interested, I highly advice playing Knights of the Old Republic 2 and reading the legends novel Revan, which tells the story of Revan & Meetra after the events of their games well (to a degree). But anyway, The Exile was a wound in the Force. It’s a long story, but through this, Kreia saw the potential to destroy all her enemies; including the Force itself. So she manipulated her. Kreia retrained Meetra and taught her to feel the Force again, and unleashed her new apprentice on Sion & Nihilus when the time was right. And when they were both dead, Kreia dawned the title of Darth Traya one last time and betrayed the Exile.
Traya went to the heart of Malachor V and gave her final student an ultimatum: either Meetra kills her, or Traya kills Meetra, and through her death, the Force itself. Meetra used everything Traya had taught her to defeat her former master, and saved the galaxy. I hope I did a good job of explaining without going too deep into everything 😅 I’m happy to answer questions in the comment section if anyone is curious to know more though 😁.
Malgus is one of the GOATs!!
I am always, ALWAYS here for Old Republic content. Malgus feels like he has so much story still yet to be told, and I want it all.
Bro awesome video I actually know nothing about the old republic so this video is awesome thank you. And keep up the great work
Awesome video! Iv always wanted to know more of Malgus. Keep up the great work man.
I absolutely cannot wait for you to eventually cover darth nox and his/her powerful force ability of force walking
Thank you for having a good honest title and thumbnail and having great interesting content without having to resort to cheap click bait tricks. UA-cam NEEDS more UA-camrs like yourself. Great videos and material 👍🏿. Keep it up. You've earned my subscription and thumbs up click.
General Theory a Darth Malgus video Lore..You Rock 🤘
Finally a video about Malgus I've wanted to hear about him on this channel for such a long time now
What if Maul was trained by Talzin instead of Sidious?
Sidious would be dead, Talzin was one of Sidious’s biggest threats while he ruled, if Talzin had Maul, he would listen to her every command
@@charlienorris806 Hardly, with Sidious actually trying he would have killed everyone on Dathomire himself.
PLS DO A VIDEO ON THE NEW KENOBI IMAGES !!! He looks great
Super hyped you're doing Old Republic videos!
Hey Theory, awesome video on such a badass Sith Lord that tanks everything. I had a small suggestion for a video since Kenobi is coming out soon. Since you love lightsaber hilts, why not dive into the history of Obi-Wan's lightsabers throughout the series. I remember growing up with the sequels and noticing his lightsabers change drastically from one design to that closest of A New Hope but never understood why. Just some food for thought, keep up the awesome work, man!
Love the legends stuff theory, and I’ve been loving the eldin ring streams. Keep on posting this awesome content.
I really enjoyed this video! Keep it up, can't wait for the next one 👍
I’ve been craving to know more about the old republic(as I don’t know much about that time period.)
Looking forward to the next few weeks!
I love how you are smart with ur content, it foreshadows future Disney films/series and gives context
You know it’s gonna be a good day when the first thing you see on your feed is a SWT Old Republic video
Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely, and they don't have backstories yet, canon works differently than Legends, so it'll be interesting to see their backstories in canon.
When did Nihlius and Revan become canon ??
@@darthfalcon4055 I believe it was in the art book for the rise of skywalker, there were trooper legions named after Sith, one of them was the Revan legion and another one was the Nihilus legion
@@darthfalcon4055 Darth Revan was made canon in a deleted scene of the clone wars, he essentially told The Son what to do, he now also has his own canon wookiepedia article.
Darth Nihilus was a statue in the rise of Skywalker, some fans pointed that out. Don't know which one tho.
@@childishisnotachild7277 I didn’t know the deleted scene was canon, that’s interesting
@@DarkSideGaming547 It isn't canon and was deleted literally because it made no sense. Revan did not die a Sith Lord nor do Sith spirits have free reign and are typically always trapped and confined to a tortured existence. Sith Lords instructing the literal embodiment of the dark side was also silly in that scene.
I want more of the True Sith Empire
I remember leveling a Sith Warrior at the start of SWTOR and thinking how awesome Darth Malgus was during the game. I was so disappointed when players were forced to side with the Sith Emperor and seemingly kill Malgus that I stopped playing the game and never picked it up again.
I'm really glad he's back, but it's been so many years and expansions that I'm not sure I could start playing again now.
My response head canon for my inquisitor was "Excuse me but I am a dark council member, I've killed a lot of fucking people to get this position and I'm not about to give it up, but I do agree with your beliefs"
This is stuff I’ve been waiting for, this is stuff I like to dive in the most compared to all the Star Wars films that we have, this history going way back to before episode 1 is what makes it interesting for me, can’t wait for the next video.
We need to see more of Darth malgus
Bro malgus is like my favorite sith! I appreciate you talking about him, I really hope we get more stuff about him
Dude is such a sick character. Every cinematic with him is a masterpiece
love these historical recaps..one suggestion..can you put a flag of some kind up on the screen maybe in the corner which indicates when something is canon vs if its legends? sounds trivial but would be helpful..thanks for all you do
Book of Sith has a section on Malgus’ campaign journal with side commentary from Vader.
Darth Vader admired Darth Malgus except when it came to Malgus’ use of battle droids.
Love old republic era, lookin forward for ur videos bhai
Malgus goes wherever He damn well pleases lol.
Random but, they revealed the first images from the Kenobi series today!
Trailer will be dropping any time soon right !
@@lukeharwood3922 Hoping so yeah. If not, that's when the fandom will say in one voice: "I... was hoping for Kenobi" lol
Yeah that magazine cover is sick, I love it. I wonder if we will see Kenobi age any in this series? Or will they just kinda leave that to the imagination how he got so old looking so quick lol.
Yeah it looks badass. Kenobi looks perfect and the Inquisitor looks awesome. Also I did not realize they are bringing back the same actor who played Uncle Owen in the PT. Very cool stuff.
Hello Love that idea you guys talked about on nerd theory on having fan or guest members on for some streams❤️😊👍🏻
Its ee years since i played those games so a refresher on the time line would be great.
Thanks for this Theory. Amazing video!
The old republic has been my favorite time period of star wars since I first played kotor in 2007 it's so full of mystery and interesting characters that I feel has been missing from star wars since Disney took over.
Bro they intro was AWESOME man! 🤩
thank you for the great content
Really good video, love SWTOR too.
Theory, I figured you're too young to know about the "Tales Of The Jedi " comic series, but you had pages from from the 1995 story that was titled Dark Lords Of The Sith (that showeed Ulic and Exar joining forces and Exar becoming Ulic'c Master as Sith Lords. I remember my dad giving me Knights Of The Old Republic for my 24th birthday in 2001(I'm 45) and also Dark Lords Of The Sith as well a few years later. The art was pretty good, and the writing too. The story of Ulic Qel-Droma, and also Exar Kun is no ,onger cannon, and that is wrong. It's such as great era for stories of Jedi vs. Sith! You mentioned Naga Sadow, and yes, he lived 1,000 years before Ulic, and Exar. His story was told in Golden Age Of The Sith Empire and continued in The Fall Of The Sith Empire. You had showed pages from those series, I immediately recognized Naga Sadow! That's really cool you know who he is. These two series were published around 1997. You are very knowledgeable! Good research man! Wow, I figured no one really gave a damn about that era(and it's been relagated to "Legends", which I hate, because, it was such I cool era!
I own those old Dark Horse published Star Wars Tales Of the Jedi comics too! But I never played KOTOR OR KOTOR 2. Last year I have I started playing The Old Republic on Steam. I created a Jedi Gaurdian and a Sith Warrior. I don't play as much as I used to, so I haven't encountered Darth Malgus in the main campaign. Maybe I will enventually, I'd like to know why he is such a powerful Sith Lord and why people think he is such as bad ass. Despite not knowing much about Darth Malgus, this is great video man!
Theory can you do a breakdown on the recent Kenobi images that have released?
I love this guy. Great video Theory.
i feel like malgus is what vader could of been if he didnt get that badly wounded against obi wan. same sort of armor, maybe even up to date armor, force lightning, absolute brute strength, with the mobility
you should do more of these
I can't and won't stop hoping for the day that someone, ANYONE will make a show or several movies during the old republic era, where we get to see the sith and jedi in constant battle/war amongst sooooooo many other things. I don't care who does it, just make it happen please! As always I LOVE your content Mr.Theory
Intro was sick 🔥
you should do a movie series mabye like 1 hour episodes every couple weeks, going through the history of starwars from a person's perspective but dont worry about crazy effects, you can use the slideshow to show pictures. you could have a few people write the scripts & treat it like a play more than an actual movie.
We need a Darth Malgus series asap!
So excited to get back into the old republic era!
One of my favourite characters. I hope they make him canon
Darth Malgus is another reason why we need Kotor/Swtor Old Republic era movies/tv series!
hi your my favorite youtuber you have really helped me learn about are favorite galaxy far far away
Im here after I watched you lambo video. I had no idea theory was riding dirty lmao
They need a film showing this type of stuff
Malgus vs Vader fan fic video needs to be made !
Love your info
How about an origin for curasant (spelled wrong lol)
I'm surprised you didn't talk about those Kenobi Pictures that were just posted. Oh well maybe later lol keep up the content sir.
BRO I LOVED THAT INTRO
I'm so glad neither you or Josh missed a beat. That's what I'm talking about. More relatable than the sequels. 🤣
Awesome info. Darth Malgus, wooo! ✊🏼
Star WarsTheory there's a poster out for Kenobi show, you gotta check it out and do a video bro, much love man, keep up the hard work and love how real and raw you are.
Great video.
BBY = Before the Battle of Yavin
We need more Malgus. His is awesome!
More old republic content pls! 🥰😎
🔥 intro!!!
Need more malgus content, one of my favorite Sith
Aw why thank you.
Absolutely love your videos. Nitpicking here but BBY means Before the Battle of Yavin, like BC is before Christ.
Do a theory on what if the Before of Yavin didn't happen!
You should do this for a living! That flowed like a movie
Kenobi trailer just dropped!! Can't wait to see your reaction.
Nice legends intro
Would love to learn more tor lore!
Powerfull character with both looks of Sidious and Vader melted and yet different. Am I nostalgic here or did you return to your outro? Please, correct me if wrong! Hugz
Malgus is such a bad ass, and Marr is this epic warrior/statesman
THE TRAILER JUST CAME OUT
Also, many people don't know this. The sith during this time were actually a species of people that used dark side and are from Korraban
You should do a video on what happened after they killed General krel
Please do a earth nihilus video down to hear more about him
Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely.
They are not the Nihilus and Revan we know. There names alone are canon, that means that in canon, they are just some random ancient Sith Lords with no backstory or anything. They are not the characters we know and love from legends.
@@georgehouliaras7239 exacly, lucasfilm has the power to either tell a similar story or a different one from the one we know. it'll be interesting to see.
You want Kathleen Kennedy and David filoni to ruin those characters?
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 Dave filoni would actually make it intersting
@@georgehouliaras7239 interesting
Hmm, a powerful Sith lord using dark side illusions to give the appearance of a gigantic fleet of starships? I can't think of any movies where that would have been a useful plot point to incorporate.
doesn't have to be but it would be a beautiful horrific scene imagining he did this to thousands of soldier as the Jedi starts questioning the Republic troopers to why they are running away and all you see there is just Malgus walking casually towards them.
Who do we think would win in a fight. Darth Malgus or Darth Bane?
Malgus cause it's been said many times in universe that as time passed a lot of jedi and sith teachings and techniques were lost which means malgus may know a lot more when it comes to the force so the fight would weigh in his favor not to mention malgus is an excellent lightsaber duelist even darth vader used some of malgus's lightsaber techniques to overcome the limitations of his suit.
malgus is my fav old type of character
Some of my favorite eras
One of my favourite Sith!
Malgus apart from revan and malak of course is my favourite All time sith just so ruthless
I like your content
110TH COMMENT I'M EARLY ASFLIP AGAIN 👊. Thanks for uploading this video Star Wars Theory I really want to know more about Darth Malgus and The Old Republic Era Jedi, Sith and Empire. I hope people don't complain about Obi Wan not using his lightsaber much because of course he wouldn't he was in hiding after Order 66. I hope the Obi Wan series shows how Obi Wan aged so fast because of Tattooine's double red suns, desert climate and constant fighting, hiding and stress from avoiding The Empire while dealing with Jabba The Hutt's mercenaries, Tusken Raiders, bounty hunters, Stormtroopers and watching over young Luke Skywalker, Owen and Beru . THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS. In the new Obi Wan series I want to see Obi Wan communicating with Qui Gon Jinn about that Force Ghost training and his run ins with the Sand People, young Luke Skywalker, Owen and Beru and even The Empire at times plus other Jedi, Sith, Force users and bounty hunters if possible. I always thought it was strange how Darth Maul could come back but not Mace Windu when Maul survived something extremely fatal while Windu definitely could've survived falling out a window after getting his hand cut off and blasted by Palpatine's Force lightning. I'm still catching up as I haven't watched all of The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian or any of Disney Star Wars things since Rise of Skywalker but I'll check it out soon. I'm conflicted about the shows in light of Star Wars Lore. Seeing Luke Skywalker and Ashoka training Grogu and the next generation of Jedi is a dream come true of what I wanted The Disney Sequel Trilogy to be about now we'll never get that with The Original Trilogy cast. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Could you make a video on the Sith Lords in order from Naga to Vader
How do you gain this knowledge? Are there any books about him if so please let me know
