Come and hear the story of the most loyal of Master Vodo's apprentices...the rival of Exar Kun and the one who gave him his famous scars...the Cathar Jedi Knight...Sylvar
I couldn't agree more. I love the Cathar and their unique relationship with the Force, both light and dark. I can see them as the perfect grey Jedi - strengthened by emotion but tempered by wisdom.
I love Sylvar, such a great character and I love the Tales of the Jedi storylines! Impeccable editing, voice-over, and writing like usual Matt. Really well done, not many people can live up to your production values.
Hey matt, i just wanna thank you for your character profile videos and the deep work that you put into them by talking about the emotions and journeys of the characters, they help me come to terms with my own pain and the way you present these stories gives me inspiration to be a better person, so thank you.
this is really interesting i wish that i had a source to star wars legends so that i could read these amazing stories. this is gold for a star wars fanboy like me
You did an amazing job talking about Sylvar, very emotional. It made me cry and that's saying something emotional stories don't effect me that much. It was that moving. Makes you relate to her, see the hardships one faces during war and after where coping is the most difficult but with the strength of others close to you, it's most certain.
You have the voice of a professional storyteller , an intriguing voice that draws the unwary ever deeper under your control like the Pied piper of Hamlin, and though I have never followed anyone before, you now have a follower more. I salute you. May you tell us many many more stories, and may the force be with you !
I already loved her before I finished reading the story. Your insight only cemented that feeling I had since the 90's. I can relate so much to the character and the cathar that it really feels right that they are my favorite star wars species. Many thanks for this video.
The only thing more interesting than United States history? Sith history!! I love these video more than the versus videos even. This was amazing bro! Thanks for the video!!! :D
Ive been waiting so long for another video, man. Eloquent, beautiful, and just overall amazing as always. Also, I've always admired your mixing of music and how your fade out your phrases, and really appreciate the work you put into these videos.
Sir I was in the middle of a message to you about an hour ago when Windows 10 hijacked my computer for about an hour. Now, lets see, what was i saying. I watched this video earlier today, then I watched it again about an hour and a half ago with my son. Very, very well done, sir, in fact really great stuff. Rather like yourself, I think, I find my general outlook to be rather on the "gray" side. I'm not a pessimist, but I do find room for other points of view. In this regard, I find my "tastes", so to speak, in my recreation to be broad. I did enjoy this video, and my son did also. Thank-you for your effort, and I am thankful for your talent and skill. Dante.
+100dfrost It means a lot to me that you've come to message me even though your computer tried to sabotage you. My thanks to you and your son! Take care Dante!
Another fantastic video. Another one I would have to say is the Jedi History Archive video. So insightful! Thanks for all the brilliant videos GrayJedi91, you do great work.
Hey I'd just like to say that I loved this video and really appreciate the time and effort that went into teaching some of us a new heroine. Keep up the good work!
Man, do I love your videos! I'm actually pleased that you don't upload that often because of how much of a treat it is to unexpectedly get a video from you. Phenomenal! Can't wait where this leads to and hope you are doing well! Take it easy.
Beautiful man, it sucked me in until the very end. Kathar Jedi are a very interesting breed for sure. Its funny that you also mentioned Juhani in this video, because I started a new game in KOTOR about a day ago and was only last night playing through the level on Dantioone where she is ultimately redeemed by Revan.
+Max Acree Juhani and Sylvar are two of my favorite Jedi from that era! If you haven't seen it already, my Top 4 Underrated Jedi video begins with a tribute to Juhani. I thought you'd like this video after you told me about your primary areas of interest in the EU a few days ago :)
Hey Matt! Yea I've seen your underrated Jedi video , and really loved the tributes to Juhani and Aryn Leneer in particular on that one. You are also absolutely right, this era in particular highlights a section of Star Wars history that is particularly close to my heart because it was my first introduction into the lore (being the Great Sith Wars waged by Exar Kun and Ulic.) The redemption story arc with Ulic though, is really the one that affects me the most emotionally. Ulic coming to terms with his past and trying to live with himself is one of the most human stories portrayed in the mythos, at least to me. I always really loved how the duel between Sylvar and Ulic was portrayed and how he was able to help her let go of her past and look forward to the future. I think it was an interesting element of Ulic's character that he retained a reasonable amount of skill in dueling even without the call of the force. It just shows that the level of natural swordmanship vs augmentation of swordsmanship through the force varies greatly with each person.
Design wise, I really like Sylvar's older, more animalistic design; it gives her a unique look in the Star Wars mythos. The newer, more human design just seems to be overly sexualized for the audience, like TOR Satele Shan as mentioned in Jensaarai's The Grandmasters Versus Short.
Monday 26th December 2022 I had to hold back my manly tears at 12:26 min of this video. My God this GreyJedi91 was really working me over with poignant, elegantly and manly as fuck heroic voice. You almost has crying. That's a thing for me to do because I have been hardened by life. Much appreciate GreyJedi May Allah guide you to islam the religion of the universe.
Great story. Do you think you could do a Character Profile over Darth Marr or Dass Jennir. It'd be nice to see these two get a little light shined upon them.
Whats diffrence between dark side spirit an jedi ghost? Spirit you think be free an ghost is soul that isnt free still wondering be kool if make video on it.
I would like to see a character profile of kkruhk the jedi master who has a huge story line he played a part in the clone wars survived order 66 and the rise of the empire the founding of the new jedi order and became grand master later on i would love to see a story about him like if you agree :3
In a pure lightsaber duel (no force power except for force argumentation and force senses) who will win between those two combatant: Yoda vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi
+Darth Collatus "I always like to have a connection to everything else in the Star Wars universe, but starting with the character itself at 4:36?" It's no different than what I did in my Ronhar Kim video. I always assume that the viewer doesn't know what's going on in the source material so I set the stage by telling the story. You simply can't understand Sylvar's story unless you already know what happened during the Great Sith War. Just wanted to point out why I do this because it's something I am aware may be questionable...but not something I'm likely to change.
GreyJedi91 I didn't mean it in a negative sense, I just jumped into this video being curious who Sylvar is. I'm currently only beginning to expeirience the EU(especially old republic era) and am already a fan. I really appreciate your work!
+Tekki 7^3 Pick yourself up a copy of Star Wars Omnibus Tales of the Jedi Volume 2. She's referenced in various encyclopedias and role playing guides that talk about her legacy, but her actual story is contained in the Tales of the Jedi comics which detailed the training of Nomi Sunrider, the fall of Ulic Qel-Droma and the rise of Exar Kun who started the Great Sith War. While there are a few issues about Nomi and of course the earlier Sith Lords like Naga Sadow that you won't get in that collection, everything else you need will be there.
I couldn't agree more. I love the Cathar and their unique relationship with the Force, both light and dark. I can see them as the perfect grey Jedi - strengthened by emotion but tempered by wisdom.
I love the cather also.
They're amongst my favorite races
This has got to be the most beautiful narrative piece I've ever heard and your voice is perfect for it.
+Slade Thanks so much!
I love Sylvar, such a great character and I love the Tales of the Jedi storylines! Impeccable editing, voice-over, and writing like usual Matt. Really well done, not many people can live up to your production values.
+ForklifterMatt I knew you'd like this one :)
Thanks!
GreyJedi91 It was fantastic, I really enjoyed it :)
+GreyJedi91 amazing video
GreyJedi91 is the real MVP.
+Antoine Bandele Thanks Antoine!
+GreyJedi91 may the fourth be with you guys
GreyJedi91
May the unlimited power of the high ground be with you.

I love these character profiles! Something different from all the vs videos out on youtube.

+Scanza66 99 Pick up Star Wars Omnibus Tales of the Jedi Volume 2. You'll have access to the vast majority of the works I referenced in this video.
thanks :)
What an amazing story great work! I would love to hear more of these awesome stories in the future:)
old canon is better than Disney canon
Adam Niccum Always!
+Jimmy McReary agreed
Another masterpiece, well done sir.
+Darth Armis Thanks!
Awwww yeah a grey Jedi video!! I have a cuppa tea and ready to be entertained *sips tea*

Thank you for bringing her alive I have always thought that in all lies the seed of light and dark
Another magnificent video on a lesser known character one I also find fascinating

Great series dude.Its the small characters that make it all a richer experience.Please keep up the good work.
Another fantastic video. Another one I would have to say is the Jedi History Archive video. So insightful! Thanks for all the brilliant videos GrayJedi91, you do great work.
man I always learn something new from my favorite star wars youtuber
Brilliant, thanks. I wish you still made content.
Hey I'd just like to say that I loved this video and really appreciate the time and effort that went into teaching some of us a new heroine. Keep up the good work!
Amazing! You always hear about Exar Kun, but never a character like Sylvar. Super interesting man!
Excellent story telling and voice!
awesome video! you really do an amazing job at capturing the essence of these characters. Thanks for all that you put into these videos
GreyJedi91 Has anyone ever told you have an amazing voice? You make a top notch narrator!
awesome, i don't really know anything about this era, so i get to learn about it through you ;D
+Ciel That's the whole point of the character profile project. So glad to see that it's working :)
Please. Continue your stories they are very well done and I love the music
Man, do I love your videos! I'm actually pleased that you don't upload that often because of how much of a treat it is to unexpectedly get a video from you. Phenomenal! Can't wait where this leads to and hope you are doing well! Take it easy.
+Tyler Beckett Thanks! Hopefully will have some more up for you sooner rather than later.
+GreyJedi91 Let me guess...
Sharad Hett vs. Sylvar?
Tyler Beckett Good guess! But no.
Crap!
Loved the video. Great job
always liked the fact that ulic became one with the force even though he was severed from it. such an under rated character
That song at the credits was haunting, and I loved it.
Truly cinematic as always my friend. Looking forward to what's next
+Soup the Eternal Thanks! More coming soon.
So well done. Bravo
Your voice is epic.

Any chance of a Nomi Sunrider character profile video... 😆😆😆
can you do a character video on the Jedi Tahari Vaila?
Monday 26th December 2022 I had to hold back my manly tears at 12:26 min of this video. My God this GreyJedi91 was really working me over with poignant, elegantly and manly as fuck heroic voice. You almost has crying. That's a thing for me to do because I have been hardened by life. Much appreciate GreyJedi May Allah guide you to islam the religion of the universe.
Glad you're still operating for the old and morally relevant star wars.
Great story. Do you think you could do a Character Profile over Darth Marr or Dass Jennir. It'd be nice to see these two get a little light shined upon them.
+Logan Smith Probably not with Darth Marr. Jennir is on the list.

I would like to see a character profile of kkruhk the jedi master who has a huge story line he played a part in the clone wars survived order 66 and the rise of the empire the founding of the new jedi order and became grand master later on i would love to see a story about him like if you agree :3
You have to do Malgus vs. Vader.
In a pure lightsaber duel (no force power except for force argumentation and force senses) who will win between those two combatant:
Yoda vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi
Interesting.
I always like to have a connection to everything else in the Star Wars universe, but starting with the character itself at 4:36? Great work, though!

+Darth Collatus No problem! I just thought I'd explain since you asked. Sorry if I came off as too defensive. Thanks for watching!
GreyJedi91 It was nice to have a conversation with you.
I love this shit keep it up and can you do 1on vergere I keep hearing her name but I don't know nothing about her?

Zoe Saldana as Sylvar?
Oh my God I love this! Where exactly can I find Sylva's story?
+Tekki 7^3 Pick yourself up a copy of Star Wars Omnibus Tales of the Jedi Volume 2.
