@Jovan Popovic I think it was called "Tales of the Jedi".
@Jovan Popovic Sorry for the late reply, Tales of the Jedi! :)
@Jovan Popovic Thank me by subbing me friend!
You made SithReign voice Ulic Qel-Droma? I love his channel!
Please do more of these...they are great
"The Temple of Exar Kuun. You fear to go into those halls. The Tumb Raiders delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Kuun's Chambers: Shadow...and Flame."
Underrated comment 😮💨
Did you ever hear tragedy of Exar Kun ? It's not the story would Disney tell you ...
It's sad I feel bad for him
Actually, they would. Exar Kun is Canon, and so is Ulic Qel-Droma. It says so on Wookieepedia.
I don’t know who Kevin J Anderson is, but I don’t think Disney would bastardize it to the point where Exar Kun would be a one-dimensional Sith Lord. However, what I fear is that they might make a story that contradicts the Tales of the Jedi comics, and that would make me unreasonably angry and depressed about what Disney has done.
@Exar kun The dark side cosmic entity Did he create the rest of the Tales of the Jedi Comics?
Disney thee twats.
"Some ghost giving out dark lordships is no bases for a system of government!"
It's... How we do it in America.
"I mean, if I went around claiming to be Emperor, just because some ethereal tart anointed me a sith, they'd put me away!"
"Look at the darkness inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being possessed!"
@@darkdragonfiendtamer Bloody peasant!!
@@Nikp117 Oh, what a give away. Did you hear that, did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you hear him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?
Probably one of my favorite Sith Lords. His story is a tragedy where a man who wanted to seek knowledge, and didn't know why the Jedi had feared apprentices seeking for Sith knowledge. From the Jedi's point of view, striving for personal self-gain drives you closer to the dark side due to weak will.
Tragedy? Exar Kun was full of himself before he was interested in the Sith knowledge. He constantly bullied Crado and Sylvar for not being humans and looked down on his fellow Jedi.
No doubt Exar Kun was one of the greatest Dark Lords of the Sith, but he certainly wasn't a tragic villain.
@@allforone5955 agreed
Oh my god, the music at the end. It was so perfect.
Every Sith story is a galactic tragedy, but it's also a sad personal tragedy about someone who fell into the dark and could not escape.
It's the personal tragedy that leads the galactic tragedy, And I'd say that statements true in our world as well.
That's why every contrast being matters in the fight for the light.
@amishoven But he was corrupted. The desire for unlimited power is dark.
And the possession of unlimited power is extremely poisonous.
Exar's fall is what Peter from Spider-Man would become if he kept the symbiote.
So THIS timeline's Luke Skywalker suffered a major setback with one of the Jedi Order's padawans but keeps the Order alive.
Disney's Luke Skywalker sees his nephew having a bad dream and decides that it's time for the Jedi to die
Seems legit
Yeah that's kinda sad, but it's also a testament (at least in my opinion) to how bad Disney are at writing Star Wars.
It's the new "woke" Star Wars man. Come on get with it! Lol come to the woke side.
I don't care about Disney's mandate. The original expanded universe is canon and the "sequel trilogy" is bad fan fiction.
@@robwalsh9843 na the sequels also changed the Canon because they can control the prequel and OT era too. I simply take the entire EU as my Star Wars
@@justsomeguywhokeepsgetting4885 Yeah, the Sequels themselves seems to be the biggest issue with the Canon universe. Like, everything around it HAS to conform to the reality of what occurred in TFA. Imagine if we didn't have the Sequels and we only had The Mandalorian as Post-RotJ content? We'd be way more hopeful and excited for the future instead of cringing at what the Sequels have in store. Stuff like the Clone Wars, Rebels, and even the High Republic are either really good or not bad. It's just the Sequels, really.
Fun fact the dark reaper makes an appearance in the 2002 clone wars video game and also ties into tales of the Jedi by having anakin meet a holorecording of ulic cel droma
Indeed it does!
What I love so much about the Star Wars EU, particularly the stuff that happens before the prequels like the Old Republic feels like Greek myth. You have Exar Kun who is doomed to the same fate as Freedon Nad by his own doing. This is the stuff I miss. It’s so in line with what Star Wars is that it hurts. Disney took some really creative stories away from us. Sure there are some that aren’t that great, but most of the flawed ones came out before the prequels so they had very little idea on how to properly expand the universe. That was the strength of stories set centuries and eons before and after the movies. They had more freedom. Once the prequels were finished writers had a clearer view of how events went down without having to speculate or step on George’s toes by jumping the shark.
Almost everything in the eu is way better than Disney star wars Disney canon even connected their own universe
I have a theory
During Anakin's first duel with Asajj Ventress during Clone Wars 2.0, he was influenced by the essence of Exar Kun, seeing how he drove into his anger and rage to defeat her
After all, they dueled through and inside One of the Massasi Temples
Wow I never knew that Planet they fought on Was yavin 4
@@chheinrich8486 It was
They dueled through Yavin's jungle and then arrived to the Massassi temples
I personally love how both Corran Horn and Mara Jade rightfully mocked and broke Exar Kun for what he truly was.
Corran Horn: You don't get it, do you? You've already lost and you're continuing down that losing path. Haven't the last four thousand years taught you anything?
Exar Kun: I know more than you could ever hope to learn in four thousand years or forty thousand years.
Corran Horn: That may be. But I know the one thing you don't. You're never going to win. You destroy those who oppose you, and what does that leave you?
Exar Kun: The faithful.
Corran Horn: From among whom arises a rival. You have a schism.
Exar Kun: And I destroy the heretics.
Corran Horn: Yes, you do. And again and again that cycle repeats itself and you let it go on because you've forgotten the most fundamental truth of reality: Life creates the Force. When Kyp destroyed Carida, he diminished your power. When you destroyed Gantoris, you diminished your power. You're a predator over-grazing your prey, but you can't stop because the dark side fills you with this aching hunger that will never be satisfied.
Mara Jade: Ysanne Isard would've had you analyzed, digitized and discarded without a second thought, and she wasn't even Force-sensitive. Darth Vader would've found you amusingly quaint, and the Emperor... well, the Emperor actually succeeded in destroying the Jedi, so he'd see you as the very definition of failure!
And Exar is so blindly self absorbed and stupid his retort is that the Emperor is dead, lol which Corran laughingly points out that Exar Kun is also dead.
@Exar kun The dark side cosmic entity no, he has a point. I've read I, Jedi. It's in there.
Yeah and Palpatine came back in the Dark Empire books. So he failed there too lol.
@@GayFishYe Love your username 'Skywanker' Brilliant! 😂
@@adamsanter9385 thanks, chief.
exar kun would fuck palpatine up if they dueled
So fun to see so many of my Tales of the Jedi pages being put to such great use. Great video!
It's awesome to know you've seen this! Thank you for having a crucial hand in bringing us a fantastic comic series! I'm really glad I could do it some justice :)
@@100StarWars Justice! Your passion for this material shows once again the validity and power of the Expanded Star Wars Universe. Please let me know if I can be of help as you grow the channel. I’ve got lots of unpublished art.
Oh wow, unpublished art for Tales of The Jedi?
@@100StarWars Yes. And a few pieces that have only been published very few times, like the first ever drawing of a double-bladed lightsaber, being held by Exar Kun, in the original design sketch of him, in a drawing I did specifically for George's approval at the request of Lucasfilm licensing in 1993.
Exar kun in whiny super boy prime voice: Everything was better in MY sith era!!!
😂😂😂😂
I've watched this in it's entirety multiple times. You did a fantastic job and this story of Exar Kun is one of my favorites. I love the what you did the music and the images as well!
Thank you, Anton!
These reviews are great, like a story is unfolding, I'm captivated by the music changing to fit what's going on in the story.
I could listen to you for hours.
Maybe you could make a sith story for like 2 or more hours long with dark imagery and sith music, man that'd be something
The numbers, Exar! What do they mean?!
This is why all Jedi turn into sith bc they want more knowledge it’s a Jedi teaching but with knowledge comes power
Throught power, I gain strength. Throught strenght, My chains are broken, the force will set me free!
The issue with the Jedi and Sith is they are two extremes when there is too much darkness there must be light and when to much light there must be darkness. By one denying the other they are out of balance that’s why both must be acknowledged and be taught.
@@juandehernan8803 I agree, but as you said the sith and Jedi are extremist. There are multiple ways to observe and practice the force.
@Tony N xD this 🤌
Nah, just the weak ones. They blame their own weakness and failurebon everyone and everything else, never themselves, and use a drug to compensate.
I hope your channel grows a hell of a lot more, you put a lot of work in these and I really appreciate that. Best of luck to you bud.
Thank you!
I agree. I subscribed as well. Great job dude!
This would be a great format for a Bane video or maybe a lesser known Sith or dark sider. I’m always down for more Darth Bane content.
I agree!! Fantastic job!!
@JustThanosRedPill lol necro posting.. very big brained of you
I think at some point you should do a video on ulic cel droma that would compliment this video nicely
I'll be moving far, far away from Exar Kun for a while :D
Finally a good lore channel that keeps lore in the actual video instead of it being a soapbox.
Man that intro got me ready for a legit film about Exar Kun however Disney would murder him no doubt.
Favorite character now you did him justice
Really glad you had fun with the video!
Me too NOW!
Exar Kun is my favorite Sith lord. Not a wounded soul who turns to the Dark Side because of pain or sadness, but a crazy badass who desires to be the greatest.
Let me introduce you to Darth Malgus
Nice! You made it with a crawl as well. Wonderful! Looking forward to learn more about this guy. Thanks!
All of your content on the old republic is phenomenal, where did you pull the research from. I've always been curious about where all of the content for the old republic is, I know some of it is found from KOTOR I & II And TOR but anything beyond that and a few novels I can't find any. If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. Great job man such a good video
Really glad you enjoyed it! A lot of Exar Kun's story comes from the Tales of The Jedi comics and the Dark Apprentice books! :)
@@100StarWars Awesome, Thanks I'll look into those.
@@100StarWars some good listening is Tales of the Jedi Dark Lords of the sith audio drama it's on RUclips & the graphic novels of the same name and The sith war
If I was in charge of re-imagining/re-writing the pre-Clone Wars Star Wars history, I'd give Exar Kun a VERY important role. Before him, I'd have all of the Sith be Pureblood Sith (including figures like Ajunta Pall, Marka Ragnos, Freedon Nadd, Naga Sadow, etc), and I'd have them keeping themselves that way so they'd remain "pure" until the tragedy of the Great Hyperspace War, where they were nearly wiped out. Then I'd have Exar Kun come along and, under Freedon Nadd's guidance (his spirit), Exar Kun would revive the Sith Order, becoming not only the first non-Pureblood Sith, but also the first Human Sith.
I'd leave it as it is!
@@100StarWars Well, I would leave Exar Kun's story exactly the same as it is. My reason for changing everything before him is that my personal canon for Star Wars starts with Exar Kun. What I mean by that is, if I was doing an Old Republic Trilogy (it would probably be more than three films, but it would cover three principal events), Episode 1 would be the Great Sith War (Exar Kun), Episode 2 would be the Mandalorian Wars, and Episode 3 would be the Jedi Civil War (KOTOR 1 and 2).
so you want to watered down exar kun?
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I'm sorry, but did you even READ my original comment? If you did, which I HIGHLY doubt, WHERE in my original comment did I imply that I wanted such a version of Exar Kun? Because I can assure you I did NOT imply such a thing because I DO NOT WANT such a thing. I do not know HOW or WHERE you got that idea, but it is a BLATANT lie.
Fantastic I made a Star Wars Galaxies toon looked like Exar Kun by accident and I played a double blade Defender template and every one kept talking about Exar Kun like I knew him.. and now 11 years after with all server closed now thanks to your hard work.. I know the rest of the story, ty and I loved the video !
Such memories will always stay! Thank you for watching man!
Exar Kun and Darth Revan are my two favorite Sith Lords in Star Wars Legends
More Exar! Such a great saga. I always wonder, what should have the Jedi done when they saw Exar’s thirst for Sith knowledge? Was it their fault that he fell?
I believe they played a part.
Partly. It felt like his master didn't do much to stop Exar's quest for Sith Knowledge. That being said, the choice to embrace the Dark Side was also Exar's own...
@@johnnygyro2295,yup.
The master stopping him would be pointless
We need more of all the Sith Lords
Thank you for this. I knew most of Exar Kun's story but I was missing a few details and you filled in all the gaps. Great job
The intro was so damn smooth and professional, I completely forgot what I was actually watching and was instinctively expecting a movie to start after the text crawl.
A fantastic narration of such a compelling Star Wars villain’s story. I could listen to your voice for hours. Have you ever considered audiobooks or other kinds of long, comprehensive Star Wars stories?
Thank you! I hear this a lot about Audiobooks haha but no!
Quick question, but what was the end credit theme you used? Thanks in advance. :3
Hands down my absolute favorite character in all the galaxy at anytime. "Exar Kun ain't nuttin to f@ck with!" Keep up the great work
hope you keep making more content sir, this has been so peaceful to listen to. thank you
Keep this content up 💯 the way you also explain everything is something I can watch without skipping
Really glad you enjoy it :)
Legendary. Thank you Master Luke
You're very welcome! Thank you :)
Now this, this is good and not lazy made. Congratulations!
Bro your production of this video, from the music snd sound effects, to your inflection and diction, is a masterpiece. I feel like I’m in the story! Simply amazing!
I like how I can learn about this history and think, “hey, I was there!”
This is the best Star Wars channel i’ve found in a LONG time. Finally a channel that prioritizes TOR content Keep up the great work fam
Your storytelling is amazing. I was fully engulfed by the narration, and you held my attention the whole way through. That says a lot for a whole hour of dialogue. Keep up the good work you have a true talent. I 100% just subscribed
Exar Kun is my favorite Sith Lord
Need a Favreau and Filoni live action series featuring this story. Tales of The Jedi, legendary.
I hear Filoni is a massive fan of the Old Republic era in general, so it may happen one day, you never know.
so they can ruin it too great idea
One of your best ones yet boy they should make a movie about Exar Kun
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
Exar Kun, the only Sith that wanted to remain a Jedi. Only to fully fall to the dark side.
Id say less because he wanted to keep with the ideals or remain in the light and more so his arrogance speaking.
I love watching this video over and over again, because it's enjoyable to hear about my favorite Sith Lord of all time
Lovely. Thanks for the characters explained videos..i get to learn more about them in an entertaining & comprehensive way.
I hope this is a more cinematic experience for you :)
This is the best Exar video. Great job.
That's high praise! Thank you :)
these are amazing. just finished fallen order and I was never really into star wars. your videos are amazing can't wait to watch more and learn more interesting lore!
Holy Smokes! I'm view 100,000 ... First time seeing that...
Loved the video and I am a huge fan of Exar Kun's story, I think that the Jedi kind of brought things upon themselves to a degree by allowing Kun to be knighted when he probably was not of an appropriate mindset to be rewarded for his arrogant ways.
Incredible how a Fallen Jedi became one of the most powerful and feared Sith in the galaxy, ego aside of course. True long time Sith are more powerful and successful, still have to appreciate what he did considering he wasn't sith for long.
Yeah that vision that Gantoris was shown was of his people getting murdered by Daala, Tarkin's lover. And honestly I'm still stunned she wasn't executed by the New Republic for that war crime.
Whoa 😯 that’s a lot about exar kun so cool how much work you put into every video the force is with you!!!
*Information injection* - Likewise!
So perfect and detailed. I lnew someone had a deep story of Kun that was worth listening too.. cheers u have a new subscription
Great video and thanks for posting!
Man this would make 1 hell of an awesome fucking movie. Why the hell do they not make a movie about Sith lord or about this story? Why oh why?
Jedi Archetype:
"If it aligns with my intentions, I might consider it, my friend."
I think that was a great video and I think that a great video would be one on Carth
Really glad you enjoyed it :)
Please do more extra long ones like this, lastnight and today listened to all the revans and exar kun at work. Top notch
Really glad you enjoyed it dude! They were a labour of love for sure.
Finally watched this video: amazing work! I need to check out the Exar Kun comics at some point but I am impressed how badass of a Sith Lord Kun was. And his double bladed lightsaber was awesome. Exar Kun is one charcater of the EU I 'd rather the new IP doesn't touch but that's another story.
Kun's story is kind of sad as it shows how the dark side can leave you with nothing at all.
Kun at the end became one with the dark side something not many sith could archive he also almost became a force god
I haven't been this happy with a sub in months, bro. You do outstanding work
This was Beautifully done, thank you very much for making this masterpiece of my favorite Dark Jedi
The betrayal of his Apprentice was a direct consequence of him showing mercy.
Exar Kun because of you the Sith will never die!
Cool video! You should also do the same with Tulak Hord, Lord Kaan, Jerec, and Darth Krayt!
This is genuinely amazing, it felt like I was watching a Star Wars movie. 👏😄
this is my first video of yours and within 20 minutes youve earned yourself a sub. i like your voice. most of these videos ive watched i cant finish cause the voice gets to me. plus you explain things so very clearly. good work man keep it up!
I appreciate that. Thanks dude!
I've recently come across your videos. They are excellent! Subscribed :)
👏BRAVO👏
Thank you, Sir.
Glad you enjoyed it, George!
Exar anguished in pain every time he had a conversation with someone. Lol
Amazing job on this documentary sir!
Thank you! :)
YES A 50MINUTE VIDEO ABOUT the old republic!!!!!
Get your popcorn ready!
@@100StarWars 💯 THAT'S A FACT!
So this guy was basically a thief. Didn’t seem all that powerful. Stuck in a spirit realm. Couldn’t do anything outside of that realm.
I’m just finding this now but wow was this good. I got chills more than once haha
Wonderful job doing this content. More please!!
Thanks Tony!
Great video, really well-produced. Cheers!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
I look forward to exploring and seeing all you're content past and future
I hope you enjoy it all!
JUST AWESOME!
I'm glad you finished this video!! Awesome!!
That was beautiful. I hope you have much success my friend. May the Force be with you
Thank you, Andrew!
Thanks for this amazing 😍🙌🙌🙌 content you have done for your channel & all of us!!!!
That really means a lot, thank you Alonzo! Thank you for watching :)
I enjoyed this so much
That means a lot, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
This is where the fun begins.
*Why do I think 50 minutes will be the death of me*
The only thing I would suggest is to use other lightsaber dueling sounds and not just that one from Duel of the Fates
Wow, that’s a hell of a story!)
this is amazing way of telling stories i have the comic book but i didn´t mind and listen the story again amazing
Here leaving a simple yet well meaning like, since I just watched the three individual parts first.
Thats a bold intro.
exar kun is a baller. he needs to be a bad guy in a movie
NEW THUMBNAILS, BABY!
This was so good..ty
I am actually writing a PnP-story about Exar Kun right now. Helped me big time bruv:)
Awesome content! Keep up the awesome work!
This video is so well done, great work!
That means a lot, thank you :))
Ever since I've heard the story of exar. I always knew that somehow he help out the rebellion somehow. That's amazing!?
So, Exar was the pioneer in using the Double-blade Lightsaber
Quite interesting
Still, I can't imagine how Bastila and the Jedi started using this kind of saber 🤔
Also, Darth Sion took part during the Exar Kun War, Maybe he was One of the Jedi you mention here?
It's possible!
Sion was a Marauder in Kun's Empire, according to the KOTOR campaign guide.
Exar Kun is the ultimate Master of the Force.
I wouldn't quite say 'ultimate' :)
Very well done.
Amazing job!!
Glad you like it!
