The rule of 2 is hella boring. I think seeing an army of sith going into battle against republican army is something more interesting than 2 g*y coward sith hiding and trying to gain control in a sneaky way. Almost everyone says that the rule of 2 is amazing but after estabilishing it there was no such things as sith empire. Even after palpatine gained control and created First galactic empire he still had to hide the fact that he is sith.
@@EfEX_15 Fully agree. When it comes to the rule of two era, i am actually just more drawn to the galactic empire because it is interesting. Sidious and Vader though? Not so much. They are interesting on their own sure, but the whole thing, like you mentioned, cowards. It just doesn't fit my style at all. Characters like Thrawn and Tarkin are highly interesting.
@@EfEX_15oh yeah I completely agree with you! I really wish they would have set the movies in the past instead of the future. I really want to see these Sith wars! That's way more interesting of a story than anyting Disney or the prequels went with IMO. I just think it would be so cool especially if they dipped into the opposing philosophies and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Sith Empires can never last, because of the back-biting and greedy nature of the Sith, which few can change about themselves, but the smartest Sith knows how to use and manipulate this flaw in ways so it actually helps the Empire rather than destroy it like it usually would. A good leader knows how to turn a weakness or disadvantage into a strength.
The Sith Empire and The Republic have both fallen and risen dozens of times, sometimes to each other sometimes others. I mean hell a lot of the Empires lasted for thousands of years. You either get led by a Darth Marr or you don't 🤷🏻♂️ What makes a good Sith Empire, IMHO, is one that is more nationalistic and cares more for the Empire than it does for the Sith order.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 kinda perfect description. Like the reason why we honestly see more powerful sith empire in more ancient times is because they were more worried about politics and consolidation of power rather the order itself.
The problem is government systems are always made up of flawed people. And the longer a government stays in power the more corruption creeps in. Just like in real life. But I do believe the sith empires always NEED an enemy to fight. Otherwise they will turn that aggression on each other and start backbiting and betraying each other. But if they have a common enemy to fight against it basically gives them an outlet. The Sith need the Jedi and the Jedi need the sith. Otherwise they start fighting amongst themselves. I think that's the whole point Yin and Yang. There cannot be only Yang or only Yin they need each other to balance.
Marka Ragnos is a Great Guy He's Super Powerful (Like Every other Ancient Sith until Darth Gravi ruined everything) He Defeated his Rival and Somewhat let him live Brought The Golden Age to the Sith He's very Manipulative and makes his enemies fight each other A Hundred years and he died of Natural Causes Yet he came back as a Specter to warn the new Lords of the Sith He's a Really, Really, Really Great Guy :)
True, there is so much potential and so much lore that Disney has a “golden goose” but they choose not to use it. I know it’s “legends” but they can re-write and adapt so many different stories in ways that it can still work out great. And they can always use that cosmic barrier around the system to keep it contained and in its own unique way that it won’t interfere with the rest of the galaxy or something to that extent. Idk but they’re sitting on a golden chest of potentially huge amounts of cosmic sith lore they just need to get off their “high ground” and get started on incorporating it into existence. One can only dream of it, may the force be with you, always… peace ✌🏼.
Marka Ragnos: When I look into your eyes, young Tenebrae, I see the absolute corruption of the Dark Side itself. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth...Vitiate! Rise. Darth Vitiate: You have no idea.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 revan called it sith corruption because mortals body couldn't handle the power so it got corrupted by it.... To much of anything can have a corrupting effect
I will never get bored with listening to Sith Lore it's just so interesting, i'm half tempted to reread the Book of Sith. My favorite Ancient Sith Lords are Adas and Marka Ragnos, he has a place in my heart because he always turns up in the future and that one time where he got shit back in order for the Sith and named a new Sith Lord and Apprentice and they didn't argue. Marka Ragnos is the Boss.
Peace is A lie, There is only passion, through passion, I gain strength, through strength, I gain power, through power I gain victory, through victory my chains are broken- the force shall set me free.
Tulak Hord, Marka Ragnos and Exar Kun are probobly few of the very strong and very cunning Sith that could have ruled most of the galaxy and giving large part of it some kind of peace and development.
To me, the greatest of all Sith Empires will always be the one that was born in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War. Sure, Darth Vitiate was a big fat liar who simply wanted to become an immortal. But the Empire he founded and later reformed by Darth Vowrawn and his contemporaries on the Dark Council definitely made the Sith Empire one of the greatest Sith Empires to ever exist in my view. Plus, seeing Light Side Sith confused the heck out of the Jedi always worth it.
Marka Ragnos really was a mighty Sith. He was so great that they entire Sith had a global wide funeral ceremony for him. The next Sith Lord Naga Sadow could have been just as notorious had it not been for Ludo Kresh.
The next Sith Lord Ludo Kressh could have preserved the hard won peace and prosperity had it not been for the fool Naga Sadow. Starting a war with a galactic superpower, alerting the Jedi to their existence, and putting a foreigner in charge while also devastating that foreigner home.
@@levongevorgyan6789 The thing is they were not really ready for war. They had the element of surprise, and could have spent years to build a bigger fleet. Vitiate spent like 1300 years to prepare his forces. Naga Sadow mobilizes his forces in a few days.
I Hope we get more content about these sith lords in the future even if it's legends, Just look at Tulak Hord, he Is a really cool charachter and my favourite sith lord but the majority of people don't know him. The darth Bane Trilogy Is Amazing and It would be super cool if they made something like this for other sith lords.
i feel like tulak hord and his empire could have destroyed the republic if they so wished. the jedi wouldn't be able to contend against power like his. add that to kallig, khem val and all the other sith, it would be too much for them.
Without the Golden Age of the Sith many of the Greatest Dark Lords of the Sith would have never rise to power without their predecessors foundation of their Empire, but it also show the major weakness of the Sith as they will take the first opportunity to destroy their rivals rather then to work together to achieve their goals.
Have you ever tried uploading your scripts as subtitles? There are so many in-depth names and places that I would love to see it in writing as well. Great video! Edit: I just found the transcript option under the description. Fantastic work.
Keep up this series I love it, the sith are my all time favorites and learning more about them is always a welcome addition to my library of knowledge. I can’t wait for the next chapter in this series, keep up the great content brother and may the force be with you, always… peace ✌🏼.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
What I would like to know about is how did the Sith keep their worlds supplied with food. All these planets are described as desolate wastelands, not the best place to grow food.
Great series, Sergeant. Regarding the Stygian Caldera nebulae ring, did that act as a hyperspace barrier because of dust, debris, and maybe hard-to-plot gravitational anomalies? Or was it some weird ‘magical’ buffer the Dark Force put there to insulate the Sith so they could grow unimpeded by outside interference - with the exception of the Rakkatan?
Question maybe asked before or maybe a dumb question: if they liked the alchemy enhance weapons why not alchemy enhance a light saber? Is that even possible?
10:12 Sith Wisdom? Who would win, Yoda, or Simas (Not sure how the name is spelt)? Also, Political Manipulation? Who would win (In a game of Sith Political Chess)? Darth Sidious, or Marka Ragnos? Edit: You oughta make some versus videos on some of these characters. Those would be some videos to see!
Palpatine must be salty that the Sith Empire is more prosperous than his own Empire that fell apart due to infighting, corruption and stupidity he caused.
This is a awesomely series once you have finished it are you going to combine all the videos into one full on movie like most RUclipsrs do? Awesome after this series is done could you do a Jedi history series please?
Problem with every major Sith empire formed and built over the thousand of years of star wars history, even when ruled by powerfully able and ruthlessly efficient leaders, only prosper for so long, before the death of said leaders and inevitable succession battles that follow their deaths lay said empires low and then have same cycle repeat itself. Only way that they manage to get around such destructive tendencies is with emperor's either immortal or ableto cheat death to allow them to reign indefinitely like in case of Vitiate or Sidious.
I’m sorry, I kinda died laughing when you reminded me of the Plagueis -Ragnos interraction. Plagueis the absolute mad lad debatelorded and trolled Ragnos into leaving him alone 😂
he didn't, Naga sadow and ludo kressh doomed the empire, vitiate killed a few hundred sith lords and went with the rest into exile but the majority were killed by the republic.
@@akale2620 Wow! How about Tulak Hord versus Yoda, then? Blitzkrieg Battle! They're both really fast is what I'm saying. Plus, if Hord was good with Makashi, like Count Dooku, yet Yoda could easily handle Dooku, could he deal with Tulak Hord in a similar way?
@@gehrigstory6674 why would an ancient dark lord known as the lord of hate use these pathetic Jedi forms. Hord would be too powerful for the likes of yoda or dooku.
Another reason why bearing the power of the light side of the force is better The Sith ultimately destroyed itself by its own greed for power. By the force they never learned
ah. yes join the side populated by arrogant self righteous sexually repressed hippies! a much better option than the side with insanely cool powers and abilities that some ignorant twats might consider to be unnatural but in truth are fine and dandy to those who understand that the only thing that matters in life is the accumulation of power for its own sake. better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven
@@deathkorpsinfantryman1898 spoken like a true Sith. Power power and more power. Nothing else matters. Well that desire for power is why they never prospered
