10:34 My man Tarsus Valorum was probably one of the nicest and most efficient politicians in all Star Wars (watch and learn how to bring honor to your family, Finis), as he was the one whose reforms brought a millenium of peace and also caused the Rebirth of the Republic, marking the end of the KOTOR era. Anyway, it's a shame Tarsus could never say goodbye to his beloved Jedi friends Farfalla and Johun, when the latter were horribly murdered by Bane and Zannah (like any other character in the "Rule of Two" book, actually)
I mean geez no one survived that book, I sort of wish at least one Jedi did. Rule of Two, and the rest of the Darth Bane Trilogy was framed in a way that had you rooting for bother the Jedi and the Sith, which is very impressive.
I like the look of this era more than the rest of the Old Republic, looks like an older time in the galaxy rather than normal Star Wars. Also, sounds like the past with the Jedi serving as literally kings and lords.
Tbf, the Star Wars galaxy is in a constant "dark period" in some form or another. SWs sometimes gives Warhammer 40k a run for its money in terms of how dystopian and grimdark it can be.
Yeah, on the surface SW Galaxy looks like a great place to live. Space flight, space magic, cool aliens and then you dig deeper and you start to wonder HOW THE HELL ANYONE REMAINS ALIVE FOR MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR!!!!????
The whole galaxy is simply too big to remain one stable civilization. And since that's not bad enough, a handful of beings in it are exposed to dangerous magical powers that come with a risk of corrupting them into power hungry super weapon who might or might not be able to alter reality. Doesn't sounds like a nice place to live, or even just survive, at all.
I wouldn’t say it gives 40k a run for it’s money. Things are generally better and normal the closer you go to the core pretty much all the history of the galaxy. Everything always sucks in 40k
@@jay-1800 No, not really.

Eh it's because neither one could survive as a story without the constant conflict. It's star WARS for a reason and they have to makeup a good reason for there to be a constant conflict which means nothing can ever go right and make peace otherwise you can't sell movies games comics etc.
Theres so much potential in the new sith wars to make so many stories, it lasted a thousand years and theres barely any stuff about it as far as i know

I really implore everyone to read the Darth Bane trilogy. It is definitely one of the better Legends series out there, and gives you a good idea of the love and care that went into Star Wars lore before Disney created the Great Reset
One correction. While the Thought Bomb took 100 Jedi and 24 Sith Lords in the initial detonation, it also absorbed the Force remnants of every Force user that fell on Ruusan up until that point which put the number of souls and remnants inside the Nexus over a few thousand. This would be the energy that if ever absorbed and utilized could grant the wielder powers unlike any seen before. "Jerec, the man who murdered your father, is a great evil. He searches for the location of a sacred place, the Valley of the Jedi. The Force of thousands of Jedi is trapped here. If Jerec captures this power, he will be a creature such as the universe has never seen. A supernova of stars in a fleeting thought-the eradication of life from a star system in a whisper-will be within his power." ―Qu Rahn as a Force ghost to Kyle Katarn
Its always been somewhat strange that the combined powers of only a mere few thousand Force users (which, relative to the total population of such at any given time, is virtually nothing, probably even if you take into account ones who are powerful enough to be actual Jedi or Sith) is enough to make one person, for all intents and purposes, omnipotent. And its not like Rahn was exaggerating, either. If anything, he was underselling it, considering Jerec mentions as much when he briefly taps into the Valley before being cut off, PLUS also appearently becoming virtually omniscient as well. That level of power is simply fucking obscene, even by the high standards of Legends. The best you will basically ever get from individual Force users, even the most powerful ones to ever live in history, is enough to life wipe planets or screw around with capital ships (well, unless you jump on the hyperbole train, I suppose). The jump from that to 'functional omnipotence' is gargantuan. Just goes to show, in universe, how stupidly far Force users powers scale up when combined together. Which, to be fair, IS a documented phenenoma, but still. Would be an interesting thought experiment to see what would happen if you combined the power of the several BILLION Jedi that have supposedly existed in galactic history circa the prequel era, per the TPM novelization.

I was going to say the First Jedi Purge because it's an time of utter despair. 2 back-to-back wars had left the Republic crippled & the Jedi Order in ruins. The Sith were under the command of Darth Nihilus who existed only to consume the Force, even if that meant the destruction of the entirety of known space for his endless hunger.. & we've not even talked about the undying Sith Lord yet. Nobody powerful enough to stop Nihilus, no major Republic forces to even put up an fight, no Jedi to turn to or ask for assistance. Truly an bleak time... if not for 1 remaining Jedi.
@@christianvincentcostanilla8428 Yup. They cultivated a military where backstabbing and clutching for greater power at all times was encuraged. It only makes sense that those at the top would all clutch at the chance to attain the ultimate power in the galaxy. Become the Emperor.
I don't like how you covered the thought bomb and Bane. You made it seem like the Sith knew it would be their demise, and that Bane just miraculously survived instead of Bane tricking the Sith into using it knowing that it would destroy them and allow him to establish the rule of two
It makes me wonder why people in the Star Wars Galaxy expected the Jedi to be peacekeepers in diplomats, not soldiers. The Jedi spent more time being soldiers than diplomats.
Well that should be obvious. I'd assume your thinking of the times during the movies which is a full thousand years before the events of this video. During that time the jedi acted as little more than diplomats and peace keepers. Just like in our world, few people actually pay any attention to history.
@@luigi180 That is true, I sometimes forget that people don't pay attention to history, since they are so eager to repeat it. Also, yes I am aware of the fact that the movies are a thousand years after the dark age of the republic, but I had forgotten that most people just don't care about history.
Because that was their "ideal" purpose. The Republic had no more galaxy wide wars, no more big enemies to fear from so soldiers were not necessary. Instead it required peacekeepers, diplomats, ambassadors to handle minor planetary-level disputes. That's what the Jedi's purpose is. Luca's idea was that after the Sith destroyed themselves the Jedi ensured galaxy wise peace through negotiations and diplomacy.
@@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478 By the time of the Prequels major wars hadnt happened in 1000 years. And even before that, there were large periods of times without any major conflict. All that time, Jedi were acting as peacekeepers
it was a dark period because of how long it lasted, but I would say the Yuuzhan Vong invasion was more brutal, simply because of their ideology and how they handled the worlds they conquered
The failure of the clone wars Jedi was that they served the republic, not the force. But a Republic that serves the Jedi is able to drag itself out of it's darkest hour. In the star wars galaxy, should the ideal government be a theocratic democracy, where the Jedi order has wide authority over the senate? I don't believe we in the real world should have theocratic states, but in star wars the force is proveably there. Just like I don't think we should have military authoritarian quasi-fascist states, but in the world of 40K where humanity faces so many external threats, then such a governing style makes sense.
In the right context, yes, in others, not at all. Don’t forget, the arrogant dogma of the Jedi order in Revan’s time that dug in their heels and refused to do anything about the mandalorian crusade because they senesced dark side manipulations behind it? The republic almost died because the main Jedi order was too scared of being fooled by dark side manipulations to actually save it. Still, much like the legacy era, it’s was probably for the best that parts of the galaxy organized themselves into individual republics for the sake of cutting out the inevitable scale of bureaucracy, inefficiency and corruption to not need to rely on well meaning but too prone to divine beyond fixation Jedi. Even though that went south with the machinations of earth Krayt. There is merit with Jedi helping to lead and not being enslaved to worldly corruption but without those same deified force users to forget that life isn’t all spiritual or force transcendent - people need sustenance sanitation rest safety and a reason to believe it, most everyone have no such boons as the force as Jedi do. So I would say that the more compartmentalized the integration is, the better- Jedi helping to govern on the planetary level as Well as galactic senate level. Though I suspect that gray dealings and under table agreements would be needed just like with the rebel alliance (smugglers, scoundrels) to get long term improvements to happen… and whatever government would have to get real and not promise that xyz traditions will not have to at least evolve to cope with circumstances and prevent choking gridlock.
Perhaps they should've divided the Old Republic'in some separate, but allied, nations, the bigger a political entity is, the easier it will fail. On the Earth we've some examples, such as the fall of Rome's Empire, or the periodical crashes of China's ones. The Republic should've divided the Galaxy in sectors, not planetary systems, so they were enough big/strong to defend themselves, as the bigger European nations, and a sort of NATO-like alliance for (hypothetical) bigger menaces
Thing is, some sectors clearly have more strength than others inany ways, be it militaristic, economic, or even from a population development aspect. It would be too much wishful thinking to expect these smaller sectors to not wage war on each other. However, I see where you're coming from. In our world we have many countries that couldn't possibly stand up in an open war, but we're past the age of conquering territories, at least physically, because you can have countries that are pretty reliant on other countries, which is a kind of conquering. With one big govt you can, in theory, manage the inner sectors and balance things out by managing and rerouting resources, but doing that at a literal galaxy scale is a logistical nightmare, hence the bureaucracy hell that lead to the Dark Age of the Republic. To keep that kind of smaller structure in shape, you'd need every sector to be equally geared for combat, in such a way that no one will try starting a war, lest they want to be the owners of a huge pile of debris, similar to ehat we saw during the Cold War. The closest thing you have in the SW universe is the Republic's relation with Hut Space. They don't mess with the Huts because they know doing so would cause much more harm than good
ThorSkywalker for similar videos to this or Coreyloses who mods Star Wars empire at War so he is extremely knowlegable on the military side of Star Wars.
And battles between Jedi and Sith armies will never happen again until, in a sense, the Legacy comics era came along. Say, Geetsly's, any plans to check out the stories shown in the Knight Errant comics and novel? They're a bit of a filler arc, yes, but really good Star Wars Legends filler nonetheless.
Hmm, will try rereading the Foundation Trilogy later on. Thanks for the description reminder... I also want to recommend you guys on Dune and Dune Messiah, so to be ready in case Denis Villeneuve makes and releases those film adaptations (also, to see some history and patterns)... wonder if he can continue on to Children of Dune and God-Emperor of Dune though? Oh, and probably try reading Armor and The Forever War. I think they have similar themes.
No It's one of the ancestors and valorum from episode But because the Republic loved what the first one did they kept electing his bloodline thinking they all had the great qualities the first had only to learn the hard way that wasn't the case as each generation got weaker and more corrupt until finis valorum was a complete pushover
I'd say the Darkest Period when for a 1000yrs the republic became completely Xenophobic and refused to let non humans on most of the the beautiful core worlds they even banished entire races from their home planets because it was too close to a human world and for 1000yrs The Jedi Helped entire chunks of the core Galaxy was Empty because they didn't want none humans around and they barely had rights

Probably the times a 100 to 50 years before the movies, once the sith were wiped out, there was 1000 years of relative peace.
Star wars the new Sith wars
Probably some centuries after Ruusan Reformation
The sith are around but not a big deal and the Republic is fine
the dark brotherhood
nice
Hmm, will try rereading the Foundation Trilogy later on. Thanks for the description reminder... I also want to recommend you guys on Dune and Dune Messiah, so to be ready in case Denis Villeneuve makes and releases those film adaptations (also, to see some history and patterns)... wonder if he can continue on to Children of Dune and God-Emperor of Dune though?
Oh, and probably try reading Armor and The Forever War. I think they have similar themes.
Wait, this Valorum is the same Valorum of episode I?
No
It's one of the ancestors and valorum from episode
But because the Republic loved what the first one did they kept electing his bloodline thinking they all had the great qualities the first had only to learn the hard way that wasn't the case as each generation got weaker and more corrupt until finis valorum was a complete pushover
When did humans enter the Star Wars universe? Or where they always there?
Sweet 👍
Its existence is the darkest period
Anyone know the source for the image at 6:33 ?
I'd say the Darkest Period when for a 1000yrs the republic became completely Xenophobic and refused to let non humans on most of the the beautiful core worlds they even banished entire races from their home planets because it was too close to a human world and for 1000yrs The Jedi Helped entire chunks of the core Galaxy was Empty because they didn't want none humans around and they barely had rights
Wow
If David filoni touched this lore he will watered it down to kiddish levels
u mean like the operation cinder, or the the the mandalorien refrences to alderan? Not sure what ur smoking but it seems to interfere with ur jugdment...
Are you talking about when he worked on rebels?
@@tegridyfarms6197 dude David filoni is an overrated writer he can only write ashoka tano I don't think he is on drew karpyshyn and Chris abellano level his villains are generic watered down formulated and childish
@@dreademperor2094 rebels is for little kids nothing compares to the old republic lore
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 you can blame Disney for putting it in the kid's box
Evil never dies...it just evolves. When a dark lord of the sith dies another must rise and seize the mantle
Listen everyone : the New Sith
Is more like World war 2 Partisan and resistance.
Just like Yugoslavia and Poland And Soviet Union
Well, its called Star WARS for a reason
So Valorum was damn near a 1000 yrs old?
I figure it was the back to back wars of the Mandalorians and New Sith, Jedi council got nuked hard, this is my take before watching btw
You talking about the Mandalorian Wars & the subsequent Jedi Civil War?
Republic Dark Age >>>>>>> High Republic
Blast me....😟
First
Third
Palpatine did nothing wrong, the jedi deserved it
...and you're saying this after watching the video?
@@carteradams43 Geetsly video comments sections has been filled with more and more random irrelevant comments lately
