You forgot to mention that Darth Krayt helped Luke stop Abeloth as well as mention that Jacen Solo saw vision of Krayt sitting along side his daughter Allana on a throne.
John Ostrander gave us the most authentic, best written, and most original star wars epic in the last decade. Star Wars LEGACY is the epitome of what the Expanded Universe does best, present stories that respect the lore and use it to create new stories that are so good they become a part of Star Wars lore itself. Well done with this EvanNova95.
It would be cool to see Ostrander come back to write for Canon. After all they already brought back Timothy Zahn, and most of the people working on Star Wars are past Legends creators. So bringing back Ostrander would make sense.
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 That came from nowhere. Filoni is the protégé of George Lucas and has headed the esteemed TCW and Rebels. He has also written for Avatar the Last Airbender and The Mandalorian. Note that all of those were joint projects with other writers and even directors. His own writing is your opinion but the idea that he wouldn't let others write rings hollow.
Poor guy this Krayt - he stayed with the light enduring more pain that most people would do and still succumbed into frenzy. I smell a fail on Kenobi's side here - if he'd take the guy with himself, trying to speak to him and heal his mind instead of letting him go as he had nowhere to and becoming a bounty hunter.
In Obi Wan's defence Hett had proved to be a violent and embittered individual perfectly willing to murder people who got in his way and a dangerous man who he had just publicly humiliated. Is that the sort of person you'd really want around? Especially when you are guarding what could well be the only hope the galaxy has of defeating Palpatine in the future.
@@tiredjediknight3110 if he couldn't stick around to help him, then he should have just killed him, it would only get worse. However I don't think it would've taken too much to help Hett. Remember other than this event and Maul showing up briefly Obi Wan spent his time doing a whole lot of nothing and barely made contact with Luke at all. It wouldn't be too dangerous to let Hett spend a few months with him just to get his head right. Either way, leaving him was just plain irresponsible
@@AeneasGemini No no no. Obi Wan's choices weren't and shouldn't have been limited to help Hett, potentially at great risk to both himself and the future of the galaxy as a whole or murder the at that moment helpless man. Kenobi may not have been interacting much with Luke on a personal level yet but he was the boys protector and allowing Hett to be in proximity to him would have been potentially disastrous. Hett was at this point bitter, violent, dangerous and had just been humiliated by Obi Wan publicly which had caused his permanent exile from the only people he felt he had left. That's a bad influence to have around the only hope the galaxy had not to mention he posed an immediate threat to Obi Wan's life. Obi Wan could not allow Hett to be too close to Luke, could not allow him to discover Luke and could not allow Hett any opportunity to harm either Luke or Obi Wan himself. What he could do though (and did do) was give Hett the opportunity to move past what had happened and redeem himself for his past actions. The fact that Hett didn't do that isn't Kenobi's fault nor is it his responsibility. Hett made his own choices.
@@xtremegamer96 I personally hate Darth Krayt, not because he's a badass (that's the only think I like about him) but because he was betrayed multiple times, like all other Sith. However, Vader was not betrayed, and Palpatine was also not betrayed, because he knew that Vader would turn against him (eventually), which is why I liked how he came back in Episode IX, which is my favorite sequel.
Wow that's amazing. Disney is too shallow of a company to let good stories like this be played out in theater. These are sadly just Star Wars legends now... Dumb Disney...
Imagine if you could make your own Star Wars movie. Would you want to have to work around decades worth of stories or would you want freedom to write your own story? If your answer is the latter, you would understand Disney’s desicons. The mainstream audiences or casual Star Wars fans, which vastly outnumbers the hardcores, care very little about the expanded universe and have only seen the films. Dismayed as fans may be, the descison makes sense.
@@Cdr2002 They'd probably ruin his character. Not guaranteed,but that's the majority result so far. Heck,even Rey got potential set up from TFA ruined in TLJ.
The saddest thing about Krayt and his life is that he warned Anakin of the dangers of the dark path, yet he ended up succumbing to it even more than Anakin ever did. He wanted revenge against the Empire and the two Sith Lords, Vader and Sidious, and yet he ended up becoming exactly like them.
Given how much this video means to me, I should comment on it. Back in 2016 when I first had my mental breakdown from OCD I couln't really function as a human being, and at my lowest point I found this video, for some reason the story of this character resonated with me and my suffering so much that I began to watch It everytime I was feeling down since then. So, thank you for it.
+harak salazar Maul was pathetic he's not worthy to be called a sith he can kill a jedi master but not best an apprentice and when confronted by his former master beg for mercy
Sidious was not the most powerful sith of all time when he can blow up then I will consider him the most powerful sith he also begged his master for mercy during the early years of his apprenticeship and if Lord Bane had been his master would have killed him without hesitation and he never earned the title of Sith Master as Lord Bane had intended Sidious also arrogantly believed he was the prophesized Sith'ari when the real SIth'ari already had passed I would love to see him go against Darth Bane
@@anakinskywalker5795 I watched Anastasia, and she is my favorite non-Disney Princess. I guessed it was Once Upon a December, but it's been forever since I watched that movie.
I'd create the Rule of Fun. Wacky tshirt day at the sith headquarters and company retreats and Coruscant spa days. Make work fun! Don't be a darth Hater! Be a Darth Smihl! Work hard, play-Gus hard!
Anthony Palumbo Totally. Make the Jedi jealous of us Sith Lords. "Look, we're bad asses with light sabers too, but we can also jump on trampolines. Do YOU have trampolines?"
I’m honestly hoping that A’Sharad will make an appearance in the Kenobi series on Disney Plus. He’s such an interesting character from Legends alongside Revan and Durge. If they can be recanonized, then A’Sharad deserves to get that treatment as well.
I hope so too he’d work in that context and would be a more interesting villain than inquisitor imo. Plus he could eventually lead to the legacy comics being adapted
The crazy thing is that Krayt’s story completely unchanged fits into Disney canon perfectly. I feel he is one of the few characters one could say that for that doesn’t just operate in a time period disney hasn’t explored yet
Can I just say that Drath Krayt has to be one of the coolest looking sith out there, he has to be my 2nd favorite dark side user that has so many layers to him from his time as a Tuskan, a jedi, Tuskan warlord, bounty hunter, a Yuuzahn Vong test experiment then finally becoming a sith lord. I mean man this guy had it rough and it's no wonder he became what he did, I reread the SW legacy comics a few months back and I just love the transformation of this character. I'm reading the old SW Clone Wars Legends comics now and he might not be in it much but the short time he is in it makes it a treat to see my favorite sith lord again before his fall.
Right after Darth Malgus, Darth Krayt my second favorite sith lord, both of them are badasses in their own right. And they should make Krayt canon. Awesome storytelling too!👍
The Guy went from.. Tusken to Jedi Jedi to Master Jedi of the Council Jedi Mater back to Tusken Tusken to Bounty Hunter Bounty Hunter to a tortured soul than went back to being a bounty hunter AND then turned to one of the most prominent Sith ....Pretty insane
I think the fugitive A’Sharad tracked to Korriban should’ve been none other than Aurra Sing. She never got an ending, and if he killed her there, that would’ve marked his complete regression to the dark side.
"Applauds." This was AMAZING! You are so eloquent. My only criticism is that you neglected to include Krayt joining forces with Luke Skywalker to defeat Abeloth. Other than that this was incredible.
This is by far the most poetic video you have made, not to mention the metaphor of "the dragon" for the Dark Side, which is rather fitting, as A'Sharad Hett took his Sith Name from the Krayt Dragon of Tatooine, the dominant predator of the planet and a symbol of power for the Tusken Raiders.
I never really got that personally, she's interesting at points but she has very little identity of her own besides her servitude to Darth Krayt. She's a useful tool but little else. I found Nihl and Maladi far more interesting personally
@@tiredjediknight3110 True, though that may be the point of her as a character. To demonstrate in full just what the One Sith were and why Krayt was perhaps more frighteningly twisted than any other dark lord of the sith.
@@generalhorse493 you may be right it's just that when that's all there really is to her character she comes off lacking. There are other One Sith just as fanatically devoted to Krayt as her who actually had character outside of that devotion
I was read the comics about him being a padawan and I remember that everybody was telling him "don't go to the dark side" like every page and he was all like "ok ok I will not become evil, chill" and what happened? He became a sith lord with his own empire, now thats just great teaching skills right there
Thank you for the refresher. I was just talking about Darth Krayt the other day and thinking it would be a great plot twist to have his store told in the book of boba fett and maybe have an appearance in Kenobi with the store right before he choose the path of the sith.
+Evang Neiiel What stops you from considering it canon? I simply believe the Force Awakens is going on after the Yuuzhan Vong wars, the Swarm Wars, the second galacgic civil war, etc.
After watching this.. Who here wants Krayt to be the main villain in the Force Awakens? I know I do! What a story that would be to put on the big screen =D
matthew standell You have no idea how much I would want to see this story on the big screen. Seriously, I'd lose my shit in the theater if that's what happened. Sadly, I highly doubt we'll see him as Disney took a nice big dump all over the EU, but if they did...this would probably become my favorite movie trilogy. Plus we'd get to Darth Talon, and oh my force...she's...fucking...HOT!
Darth Bane vs. Darth Krayt. This match-up would be awesome because both combatants are super powerful Sith and creators of two very powerful, yet very different, Sith orders.
I'm extreeeemely happy you did a video on this. For quite some time now i was interested in Darth Krayt and his story. I hope that you continue this series of videos
I love these videos, the stories are so beautifal and fun to learn Watching only the movies, i havent the slightest understanding of the entire grand galaxy
+Benjamin MOrrissey I too only knew of the StarWars universe thru the movies and SWTOR, having just got introduced to the other Sith thru this channel ...really fasinating....the films only cover a small fraction of this universe...Darth Krayte is hands down the strongest Sith of em all!!!
Very enjoyable! I'm impressed with your knowledge, but more-so your way of storytelling. It kept me engaged the entire time! Thank you! Looking forward to more!
I can see that you're getting way better at storytelling with this video as proof ! Now regarding Darth Krayt... what a creature ! I'll definitely have to search for some books on him when I can snatch some free time . This story was amazing and i've watched like some movie. Good job dude ! :D
Dude.. This is awesome. I would love for you to do more of thee stories. Can you find anything on Darth Malgus? I find him the most interesting Sith there is.
Wow. What a brilliant sith. So much power. I did not believe that there was someone apart from the emperor that could match Vishiate or my own Sith Lord Calack. Incredible.
@@Orkman Well, in action they don't really do anything that the Jedi couldn't do. Seriously, the Jedi are seldom seen in the Legacy era but the Imperial Knights are almost always seen, mostly doing things the jedi could easily do. Sure Ossus happened but Krayt would no doubt get to the Imperials after his ascension (at least the ones who didn't willingly join the sith). They're supposed to be this sort of neutral middle ground. The Imperials aren't fighting for good so much as fighting for one man wanting to be Emperor, however they realize the need to ally with the Alliance and Jedi to stop Krayt. And how Roan Fel and Marasiah Fel represent the old vs the new and the possibility for change in authoritarian societies. They do try to make them stand out from the Jedi, but in practice they again, don't need to be there half the time and jedi could fill their (character) roles fine. The reason the One Sith are scary in how just scarily brainless and submissive they are, down to having the exact same lightsabers and tattoos for all members and would have to kill themselves on command. The Imperial Knights are supposed to be neutral yet they also have a thing for all members having duplicate armor and lightsabers. Hypocrites. Actually the one sith don't wear identical clothes now that I think about it. Plus outside of the emperor and his daughter, none of them have any actual personality. Outside Antares Draco who has an arc where he learns to stand for whats right even if it goes against the orders of the one man he's supposed to serve totally. And the fact he saved the galaxy by stopping the emperor from deploying Omega Red. Btw, their ideology of being light oriented but not strictly light like the Jedi and existing to serve one man as opposed to the force is a cool ideology, but they don't really delve into it. Also again, they're mostly just doing things jedi could just as easily do.
This is awesome , would love to hear more of these origin stories! Maybe next time you could do nihilus, revan, maul, or banes origin. I think sith are cool characters with very interesting backgrounds.
This and the video you made about Halagad Ventor are my two favorite videos you have produced. You should definitely consider doing more "The Story of..." videos. Two characters I think would make excellent videos are Abeloth and Kerra Holt. You already mentioned your love for the Legacy of the Force series of books and I'd love to see you go into more detail about it. As for Kerra she is who I would also consider to be an underrated Jedi. She's relatively unknown to most people I talk to, even hardcore fans and I feel like this needs to change. If you would consider doing videos on these characters I'd definitely appreciate it.
Great Video. Keep up the awesome work. I think Darth Krayt is so appealing is because his story takes place over so many years, so many interactions with known characters. Wish you would have touched up on teaming up with Luke Skywalker to fight Abeloth. I loved how he stood outside the Jedi Temple and watched the Jedi and Sith fight, only to easily disarm the only Jedi that approached him and respond with the great line, "Not yet, Jedi," knowing that he will rule, but in his own time.
how did hett avoid being found by darth vader? since he was fighting so often and using his force powers you would think vader or the emperor would hear of him eventually.
Darth Krayt was a good villain, but Disney had no choice but to void the EU. there have been like a 100 EU books, that would be so constraining to try and write around. No matter what Disney says in my mind the Vong War and Thrawn conflict will always happen, the Darth Caedus/Abeloth/Lost Tribe shit was already voided to me
Yeah I always hated the fate of Jacen Solo, and it annoyed the hell out of me how Traviss handled a certain character that wasn't even hers. So on that point I am glad they are dismissing a lot of the EU. But that they have to dismiss the Thrawn Trilogy, the X-Wing Series and, for the most part, the Vong War, saddens me.
Darth Krayt's live ended the same way it began: Under the raging sun.
Very poetic, nice job narrator.

Maybe he is...
I’d have much preferred him as the sequels trilogy villain to what we got…
Most interesting character in all of star wars, with one possible exception
Darth Bane vs. Darth Krayt. This match-up would be awesome because both combatants are super powerful Sith and creators of two very powerful, yet very different, Sith orders.
Think you Evan for taking the time to cover a character from my favorite Star Wars comic, May the Force forever be with you sir!
I just want to pay respects for the greatest Dark Lord of The Sith in the history of the Order.
I'm extreeeemely happy you did a video on this. For quite some time now i was interested in Darth Krayt and his story. I hope that you continue this series of videos
Please make more story vids about jedi/sith like this one
that was the best 20 mins of my life, certainly one of your best videos Evan. Nice job on this one
This is really great stuff to listen to while playing SWTOR.
One of the best videos on your channel.Keep it up !!!!!
I love these videos, the stories are so beautifal and fun to learn
Watching only the movies, i havent the slightest understanding of the entire grand galaxy
+Benjamin MOrrissey I too only knew of the StarWars universe thru the movies and SWTOR, having just got introduced to the other Sith thru this channel ...really fasinating....the films only cover a small fraction of this universe...Darth Krayte is hands down the strongest Sith of em all!!!
Nick Diaz 1, 2, 5th Amendment!!! Well there is quite the debate in that, but none the less he was of great power

You do a great job at telling their stories, thanks.
All hail Darths Caedus and Krayt! Fore they were the last 'true' dark lords of the sith before the blasphemy of Disney corrupted everything.
Very enjoyable! I'm impressed with your knowledge, but more-so your way of storytelling. It kept me engaged the entire time! Thank you! Looking forward to more!
This was Brilliant.Please do more.
I can see that you're getting way better at storytelling with this video as proof ! Now regarding Darth Krayt... what a creature ! I'll definitely have to search for some books on him when I can snatch some free time .
This story was amazing and i've watched like some movie. Good job dude ! :D
Dude.. This is awesome. I would love for you to do more of thee stories. Can you find anything on Darth Malgus? I find him the most interesting Sith there is.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Malgus
that was a bloody fantastic story !!!!!!!You gotta more of these stories..!!!!!
He has.
This should be made into a film! It would be amazing
This is what got me into Star Wars years ago
Joshua Muhuri Same here.
I think the next biography video should be Quinlan Vos, as he went through dark side, light side, and everything in between.
Wow. What a brilliant sith. So much power. I did not believe that there was someone apart from the emperor that could match Vishiate or my own Sith Lord Calack. Incredible.
Really good to listen to. It was a fun watch. As you've read into legacy what are your thoughts on the Imperial Knights?
Honestly, I like them as a concept, I don't like them as characters.
EvanNova95
What is it about them that you don't like? You don't hear many people speak about them so im interested to know.
+Orkman Me too bro, I actually find this interesting.
Good for you! I agree I think you're awesome! :D
@@Orkman Well, in action they don't really do anything that the Jedi couldn't do.
Seriously, the Jedi are seldom seen in the Legacy era but the Imperial Knights are almost always seen, mostly doing things the jedi could easily do. Sure Ossus happened but Krayt would no doubt get to the Imperials after his ascension (at least the ones who didn't willingly join the sith).
They're supposed to be this sort of neutral middle ground. The Imperials aren't fighting for good so much as fighting for one man wanting to be Emperor, however they realize the need to ally with the Alliance and Jedi to stop Krayt. And how Roan Fel and Marasiah Fel represent the old vs the new and the possibility for change in authoritarian societies.
They do try to make them stand out from the Jedi, but in practice they again, don't need to be there half the time and jedi could fill their (character) roles fine.
The reason the One Sith are scary in how just scarily brainless and submissive they are, down to having the exact same lightsabers and tattoos for all members and would have to kill themselves on command. The Imperial Knights are supposed to be neutral yet they also have a thing for all members having duplicate armor and lightsabers. Hypocrites. Actually the one sith don't wear identical clothes now that I think about it.
Plus outside of the emperor and his daughter, none of them have any actual personality. Outside Antares Draco who has an arc where he learns to stand for whats right even if it goes against the orders of the one man he's supposed to serve totally. And the fact he saved the galaxy by stopping the emperor from deploying Omega Red.
Btw, their ideology of being light oriented but not strictly light like the Jedi and existing to serve one man as opposed to the force is a cool ideology, but they don't really delve into it. Also again, they're mostly just doing things jedi could just as easily do.
This is awesome , would love to hear more of these origin stories! Maybe next time you could do nihilus, revan, maul, or banes origin. I think sith are cool characters with very interesting backgrounds.
Do the story of Jacen Solo
Yes, except Evan doesn't seem to respect caedus power enough
Thank you for this posting. Another outstanding Star Wars tale.
Freaking epic dude! Keep it up!
yo Evan
did anyone ever tell you how AWESOME you are at narration
my concentration is never broken once
man , within 30 all these need to be made into movies...
These stories are cool, I never knew about these more underated characters. I wanna watch the whole series again haha
Darth Krayt a dragon to the end 😭
This is a great video. It really taught me a lot about Darth Krayt. Keep up the great work!
that kiddo never dies
I really enjoy the way you told the story. It makes it much more interesting. Thank you
Boba Fett Vs. Canderous Ordo
Canderous is bad ass but I have a feeling Fett would own him unfortunately.
Braven Saleebyan
canderous later became mandalore the preserver in kotor the sith lords. my bet is on canderous.
Gottschalk1990 they both became the mandalore of there times
***** that is in the EU
***** only in the EU it could be confirmed in the films or it could just be only in the EU
6:00-7:00 just noticed after years Game of thrones music
More of these Stories please!
Dude your a beast at making these vids. I listen to em while I play kotor, thanx and if have time keep them coming!!
Darth Krayt vs Darth Plagus.
i really hope this is still canon one of my favorite star wars storys.
good job can't wait to check out your other vids
Your videos are epic my brother, very detailed and very well put together.
I would love to to see you do a video on the story of Darth Revan.
My favorite star wars youtuber. Love ya Evan
Great video, great commentary.
these are great, I listen to them while I play SWGEMU
You should do a story on General Grievous, That would be a good one
Damn right.
Badass story. His dark fall is exquisite, second to my favourite Darth Bane and his story.
I like calling Darth Krayt Darth Carrot
LOL
🤣😂😂💀👻 DARTH CAROTTTT!!
Good video make heaps more
Now why cant they make this into a movie?? Man this story was really interesting thanks for the upload
This and the video you made about Halagad Ventor are my two favorite videos you have produced. You should definitely consider doing more "The Story of..." videos. Two characters I think would make excellent videos are Abeloth and Kerra Holt. You already mentioned your love for the Legacy of the Force series of books and I'd love to see you go into more detail about it. As for Kerra she is who I would also consider to be an underrated Jedi. She's relatively unknown to most people I talk to, even hardcore fans and I feel like this needs to change. If you would consider doing videos on these characters I'd definitely appreciate it.
Nice Darth Krayt was a badass!
Great Video. Keep up the awesome work. I think Darth Krayt is so appealing is because his story takes place over so many years, so many interactions with known characters. Wish you would have touched up on teaming up with Luke Skywalker to fight Abeloth. I loved how he stood outside the Jedi Temple and watched the Jedi and Sith fight, only to easily disarm the only Jedi that approached him and respond with the great line, "Not yet, Jedi," knowing that he will rule, but in his own time.
I think the most impressive thing to me is how easily you pronounce the names.
Oh the irony, the last survivor of order 66 turned sith lord.
how did hett avoid being found by darth vader? since he was fighting so often and using his force powers you would think vader or the emperor would hear of him eventually.
Darth Krayt was a good villain, but Disney had no choice but to void the EU. there have been like a 100 EU books, that would be so constraining to try and write around. No matter what Disney says in my mind the Vong War and Thrawn conflict will always happen, the Darth Caedus/Abeloth/Lost Tribe shit was already voided to me
he should be. he just made a movie for the most hyper-critical fan base in the world
I hope they do or I kill my self.
***** Maybe.
***** I doubt he would come back, and even if he did I doubt he could improve his work any without massive help from other writers/directors.
Yeah I always hated the fate of Jacen Solo, and it annoyed the hell out of me how Traviss handled a certain character that wasn't even hers. So on that point I am glad they are dismissing a lot of the EU. But that they have to dismiss the Thrawn Trilogy, the X-Wing Series and, for the most part, the Vong War, saddens me.
I have truly enjoyed these biographies. I hope you will continue to make more.
Evan, who would win between Ajunta Pall, Yoda, Freedon Naad AND Darth Caedus. Please make a motivades answer or make a video of wich ever you choose,
Evan, I enjoy these videos that you make. I did not know Darth Krayt's story. Thanks!
Make more of these vids dude there awesome!!!!!!!!!!
What a good way to do this story. Very interesting. Good job
