    What are your thoughts on the Sith species coming back into canon? Many characters that are of sith and dark jedi human blood have been reintroduced to canon if in name only, same for major events from Old Republic era stuff, so do you think they would completely erase the Sith species?
    If so, that would be one of the most dramatic changes to legends stories. And do you think this might get addressed in future shows or movies?

      I think they should be brought in to canon, although updated and cleaned up a little. They need to show more species interacting with the force other than using it for a battery to do tricks. Also I like to see more thought given to the force as a structure. The force doesn't know if its dark or light, it just is. The anger and greed of the users pull more dark as does compassion and trust pull more light. Not to bring in other themes but, thinking of others before yourself and caring for the enemy as much as your friend would make you a pretty strong force user. That doesn't mean you can't fight or do hard things. You just need to be smart and big picture. Kinda, QiConGin, living force kinda thing, less Mace Windo.
      I've watched a ton of your video's and you do a great job. Keep it up. If you could talk and move through frames a little slower, especially when your showing a map or naming a world or character for the first time. It's not bad but sometimes my eyes and ears get out of sync and are thinking different things at different times. I just need to let them catch up for a sec. Thanks.
      I am the force and the force is with me, Thanks again.

    Thank you so much for making this. It is one of the best SW lore videos i have ever seen.
    Having played a sith "pureblood" in SWTOR and exploring Korriban, i was always fascinated by the great temples and tombs that seemed timeless, but i had no idea their history was so fantastic and interesting. From tribal society and dark sorcerers to a galaxy spanning empire, huge starships and powerful warriors.
    I finally understood why there are so many humans in the Sith empire.
    The Sith species, truly one of the most fascinating species written in sci-fi.

    Amazing video! You went over quite a lot of important stuff.

A Rakata warlord named Soa, who conquered a thousand worlds and became known as The Infernal One, actually conquered Korriban, before King Adas’ uprising, and then the Rakata locked Soa in the Eternity Vault on Belsavis.
    “They come, marching, believing themselves equal to the army of ancients that chained me. But I am not of their time. Their ancestors called me Soa, wrath and power, and knew fear. For I ruled a thousand worlds, and Korriban was my crown, Korriban my cradle and my testing ground. I have waited twenty thousand years, but I will wait no longer.” - Soa, during the Eternity Vault operation in The Old Republic
