ANCIENT SITH: LORE VIDEO COMPILATION 

Here's an almost 2 hour compilation of some of my ancient sith lore videos. Hope you enjoy! And remember...your anger makes you stronger...

Theory uploads an hour and 45 minute video about the Sith: a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Personally think Dooku needs more content. Most underated sith compared to Maul or Vader. Intelligent, restrained, suave, and Christopher Lee.

The Ancient Sith Lords and their stories and history are my favorite topic in Star Wars and it is ten times better than Disney’s new canon and it’s sequels

I mean a Sith Lord did bring Peace, Freedom, Justice and Security to his new Empire.

“It’s a Sith legend.”

Imagine if they made a live action show about the ancient sith, with a high budget, over 7 seasons and lots of episodes like game of thrones

My favorite description of why the Rule of Two works so well came from Bane, himself. The Dark Side's power is like poison. The more cups you pour it into, the more you dilute its effectiveness. For it to retain its maximum potency, it must thrive in as few beings as possible.

The Darth Bane Trilogy is possibly my favorite scifi/fantasy book series of all time. Star wars through the perspective of the Sith is so interesting and deep I would recommend anyone to read those books, as well as the book of Plagueis, just great reads all around.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion Through passion I gain strength Through strength I gain power Through power I gain victory And through victory my chains are broken The force shall free me -The Sith code

I read Darth Bane years ago from cover to cover. I haven't read a book this thick so fast before. Whenever i play SWTOR, I most always play as a Sith Pureblood regardless if I was a Jedi or Sith and most always played a light sided character. Which was fun.

Oh man, this is a treat! I’ve been going through the Darth Bane books again and now I’m on a Sith kick. Thanks for the upload 😁

"Hmm... them. Sith Stirrers they are." - Yoda, probably

I want movies and games that delve deep into heavy, ancient lore.

Bro I’m late af but I just gotta say the way you read out the comics and your stories and your voice acting is just sublime. It Really Immerses you into the Universe of Star Wars

There are some great stories in the EU, particularly the fleshing out of the force and more interpretations of light and dark. Elements of both are good and bad, and there’s some parallels with writings from modern philosophers/psychologists and ancient religions. Disney fears history & philisophical discovery that’s too brutal. Any information to them that doesn’t fit their worldview gets distorted and filtered before it’s redirected at an audience.

The Second Great Schism that Ajunta and the exiles caused was in many ways a continuation of the First Great Schism caused by Xendor and the Legion of Lettow. Basically, it started as a debate about the Jedi Order's complacency and rejection of the dark side's capabilities that turned into a hundred-year civil war. Sorus Syn, one of Ajunta's followers stated this in her personal journal: "The war in which we fought, and in which many of our followers died, could have been prevented. It was the Jedi who took up arms to keep us from revealing the truth about the Force. They had been paddling in the shallows for eons. By boldly venturing into the Force's expanse, we gained powers that no Jedi had ever possessed. Life itself was at our command. It was I who grew the Leviathans, who splintered the Jedi barricades at Balmoraa. I gave them the ability to swallow spirits and to store those life energies in skin-blisters. The Leviathans, my exquisite monsters, were the final culmination of the Shamblers, the Howlers, the Pit Horrors, and all the other spawn I'd given shape and purpose to - my purpose. The Jedi shunned this power, as they have resisted every improvement. They caused the schism in their own ranks. Until we annihilate the old Order, the pattern will continue repeating forever." - The Book of Sith

Hi theory! Love all your videos! The recent ones are even better, keep it up. I wanted to ask if it's possible to higher your voice volume in your videos. I rather have to lower the volume than not having more volume bar to make it higher. It's really hard to listen to your videos while doing other chores, as I do usually. Thanks!

Please don’t stop doing these compilations until every single Sith has been done. Thank you and love you.

Really enjoyed going back through these. Thanks for doing the compilation.

@starwarstheory you're one with the force! I absolutely love watching and listening to your theories! I listen to your vids in the car! Everywhere! You're an amazing star wars fan! Much love! My favorite out of all the RU-vid lore! -Stephen P

Just got my tonsils out, this video came at the perfect time, I always loved learning about the ancient Sith. Thank you theory!!

Ahhh…good old Theory. Giving me moments of Nostalgia. My early twenties spent researching Star Wars characters and compiling historical info for my early days of kotor fanfiction writing. This vid is going to come in handy for when I’m finally able to complete my new SW fanfic. Thanks, Theory. You just re-lit the spark. 🎇

Ancient siths are one of my favourite aspects of Star Wars. I’ve read all the darth bane, darth plaguis and the Darth revan books

Do not forget that the Sith species also worshipped Ajunta Pall and his followers because Ajunta deceived them into believing that he was a direct descendant of their ancient God-King: Adas. The Kasai Priests believed his claim and all the lower castes of the red-skinned natives began treating them like overlords This is where Lords of the Sith comes from, the exiles were given dominion over their entire species. Also Ziost was already a Sith World when the exiles found them, it was their capital world, Korriban was mainly a tomb world when the exiles first landed.

A live action series about the Sith would be off the hook!

Awesome vid! I’d love to see more compilations cuz I’m able to fall asleep listening to long videos like these. ❤️ keep up the good work!

Dude I’ve been waiting for a video like this for so long! Thank you Theory!

Its funny how oblivious the jedi always seem to be. Powerful evil people keep showing up under their nose and they never seem to notice till said evil guy has already trashed the universe.

I find villains far more interesting than heroes. The backstories are almost always better and usually you can understand as to why some villains are the way they are.

You did a great job on this video. Great story, great pictures and a great character to talk about. I love the Darth Bane books!!!

Feels like I’m back in school, but I actually look forward this class 🔥 quality as always!!

Bane trilogy is awesome, the progression of Bane from his name as his abusive father would tell him he was the Bane of his existence while he worked in the mines from then being with soldier to then being in the academy where we see him fail utterly to a zarbrak then to learn from it through study and training when he eventually toys with his former opponent. Bane takes a lot from Vader in sense that his failure and his own tragic upbringing is what fuels his drive and power, the underlying reasoning why fans are fascinated with the sith is the Nietzcheian quality of constant struggle in molding the complete self. This why I love Star Wars as in life too you have to give or take pieces of all ideologies as both the Sith and Jedi possess useful tenets.

Actually, I would say that the Rule of 2 in Revens sith was more like "there can only be two sith lords" with many others being "Sith" in a Sith order. And I would say Revens rule was likely based on Ulic Qel-droma and Exar Kun, before that there could only be one Dark Lord of the Sith in the Sith Order... Its weird, but interesting.

I stood in line for the first movie. Star Wars was astonishing in the 70s. I love your content sir, who would have thought that it would grow into this. What an adventure this has been.

Just watched this video for the second time. It's so good \o/. Thanks for all the hard work. And thanks for sharing ✌️

HK-47 is my favorite droid. He made me laugh so much in KOTOR. I was so happy to see a part of him in SWTOR! Made me smile. Tulak Horde! The Lord of Hate! I'm so glad you mentioned him. He is one of my favorite Sith.

Old Sith lords such as these make A Game ofThrones look tame. (Also better written)

Wow and here I thought I knew all there was about these ancient sith lords but after watching this video I now know more about them thanks Theory may the force be with you always and continue making awesome content man I love your vids.

Exactly the vid compilation I’ve been looking for 👌🏻👌🏻 especially since I just started reading the Darth Plageus novel 🔥🔥🔥

So stoked for this! Downloaded it and watching it on my flight later. 👏🏼 much obliged Theory.

THIS IS ART P.S. i just wanted to say thank you for keeping everything cool about star wars still surfaced when it seems the powers that be almost want to destroy this beloved franchise. Personally i love the sith so much, however, i find it so amazing that the jedi can overcome such a powerful enemy and how it inspires hope to so many people. With content creators like you who make videos like this, star wars has such almost infinite universe to explore, you can figure out almost every question that wouldnt hurt to have an answer too and its not to uncommin to find an answer to a question you didnt realize you had. Again, thank you so much.

Thank you so very much for making this video. I happen to be a tremendous fan of the legends content, and I don’t think we get enough of it in all Star Wars Media. I’ve been a fan of Star Wars, since my father first showed me episode four, and I’ve been hooked ever cents. However, this section of Star Wars is incredibly fun, and I hope that someday we get some more content about this era of a galaxy far far away.

Darth vader gets PTSD panic attacks when the kids play the floor is lava

This is awesome!

I have always believed Anikan was the chosen one and the Sithari embodying both the light and the dark, and as so brought both orders back to square one, returning balance to the force.

Love it ! I wondered what to do for the next 1 hour and 45 minutes lol, brilliant my boy ! Brilliant !

Listen to these at work. Time flies by so fast. I appreciate this content

It's very interesting how you mentioned that Darth Vader was basically a slave to counselor/general palpatine as he was stuck in a robotic suit making Darth Vader a cyborg. Later had not been maimed and was fully human he would have more power to travel the universi whenever he's so pleased. Instead he was stuck in a suit that made him enslaved to constant treatment, recharging, feeding and the like.

The knowledge that they’re called Dark Lords of the Sith because they were literally Dark Lords worshipped by the Sith race actually kinda blew my mind. The deep lore is wild

Love watching theses long videos and relaxing on Sundays. 👍 Bane is probably my favorite series of books

Thank you for all the Star Wars content theory!

You're an incredible story teller. The "what of Maul trained Anakin" story was next level. You should have Kathleen's job. Thank you for keeping the true galaxy alive.

They could’ve preserved some of the mystique just by having him wear his helmet whenever he’s in the public eye, so only his inner circle knows what he looks like. They also could’ve preserved his anonymity by wearing a Tusken face covering while he was with them until he got his armor back. With most people not knowing what he citizens looks like, he could’ve gone out in public without his mask and been a bit of his own spy. A villain with a Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent alter ego opens up all kinds of possibilities.

I love this channel and the work you do! Thank you!

Great video T, enjoyed the compilation you did on Vader as well

The story of Darth Bane is one of my absolute favourites. But it has always puzzled me that a Sith mandate, known only by the Sith is some how common knowledge amongst the Jedi. What do you think about this SWT?

Revan is in my opinion just as "chosen" as Anakin. Maybe even more, he understood both light and dark which as often stated are both one before the force itself. Skywalker didn't have such a profound understanding of both light and dark as he had. His spirit even split into a dark and light side just to later reunite to become one with the force millennia before Jin. Revan was the one responsible for the fall of the mightiest Sith emperor who ruled for 1000 years and was basically indestructible just as Vader later. He also brought the Republic to the brink of extinction just to rescue it. Revan is described as the strongest force user existing in the Jedi order at the time only beaten by an emperor who devoured a whole planet for power. And yes, I know that in the sequels Sidious was supposedly able to create black holes which I find to be quite ridiculous. Thank you Disney for ruining great story telling. The "chosen one" is a result of every strong person around and before him, the visions of people and his probable actions. If Revan hadn't distracted the emperor Vitiate for decades, the galaxy would have been wiped out.

Seriously love these compilations

I love content like this. Long form. Just wish there were no ads. Keep at it and may the Force be with you SWT

Yes!!! Genaral Theory Thanks for a Holocron History Lesson ⚡

Apparently Luke Skywalker would one day encounter the thought bomb on Ruusan and use the force to finally free the spirits of the trapped Jedi, after over a thousand years of suffering. Happy ending!

Another great video. The first two kotor games introduced me to the ancient Sith like Ajunta pall , Marko Ragnos, Naga Sadow and Darth Revan . They were true pioneers of the Dark side . No wonder Darth Sidious had a great deal of respect for them. This is why I love legends.

The work that went into this video (and the other 2 hour ones) is mind boggling o.o

Imagine the knowledge Bane would've learned if Revan had made a holocron after kotor. Revan reborn was definitely alot more knowledgeable than his past Sith Lord incarnation

They should do Episode 10, 11, 12 and base it on The Knights of The Old Republic and have Keanu Reeves play Revan because god that would work. I cannot decide if 10, 11, 12 should simply cover Revan and Malak or also include Knights of the Old Republic 2 with Kreia mirroring the Palpatine encounter in ROTJ but perhaps that wouldn't work at all because both games are too big for all that little screen time so the first game and the best one works for a sequel trilogy but then again we all know the story so nothing of shock value would really come out of it for us unless Revan takes the Dark Side ending in this one the way Rey should of done in the last sequel trilogy: "There's been nobody here for years. Who are you?!" "I'm Rey." *looks over to see Palpatine's force ghost laughing in glee* "Rey Palpatine" *credits roll as her eyes turn yellow*

Love it, but have to watch it later. Keep making great content. Love you brother!

Theory, this is a Christmas gift you have given us today, thank you, Marry Christmas and may the Force Be With You Always.

Disney should just hire you and become the star wars loremaster. Another great video man!😁🔥

Love the Stories of the ancient Sith.

This is Awedome! The Sith and their history are super fascinating especially the ancient Sith imo

Hey a really cool and amazing video I enjoyed it very much as I do all your videos when you are reading from the books or the comics you have a voice that makes you if you close your eyes you can see yourself in the places that you are reading about so I enjoy that a lot . I have a question the dark lady that was the jedie and her appentance killed her and was on her own how old was she before she past .thanks again and keep the videos coming and like I said any time you are reading from the books or comics you make a person feel that they are in that place and the time era that it takes place so I beleavie that whatever video you choose to as long as its from the books or comics it will be great like I said keep the videos coming I enjoy them a lot your friend Jon Daniels

Theory you really should play swtor, at least the original 1-50 stories from the force user classes. There is alot of good stuff in there.

I wish star wars legends had amazing fan art like warhammer 40k. I’ve been waiting for someone to do art for the Bain books and the plaguis novel and even like heir to the empire all the way to Abeloth. Like we can we please get some more art? Star Wars theory could you hire one I’ll buy the work!

Been reading the tales of the Jedi comics learning about Naga Sadow and Exar Kun. Like I vaguely know about all the stuff from that era but I like actually going through all the content and just learning about this kind of stuff

These type of videos is why I fell in love with this channel

I LOVE Kreia and her philosophy, quite the progressive force user and can even implement some of her teachings in real life. lol

Making legends non canon only severely limited the pool of source material to be used for better Star Wars films. Imagine a 6 part film series starting at the Great Schism and moving through the stories of Exar Kun, then Bane, the Mandolorian Wars and ending with a Revan light side finale. Could be better than all 6 episodes if done well.

I fell asleep to this and now I'm pissed that idk where I left off. Great video man, the ancient force is something cannon needs to cover firsthand.

I would like to see more long length videos like this if possible please. These videos are great bedtime stories

Was there ever an order of force welders whom were like Jedi without the dogma? Not like evil Jedi but like peacekeepers whom aimed for good but didn't limit themselves a dogma?

It would be really cool if star wars would make a new type of force users that used both sides of the force. ones that traind using them equally and not using one more then the other. Maybe that's what the chosen one is suppose to be. Like maybe the chosen one of the light side is the same as the dark side chosen one but the jedi and the sith misinterpreted the prophecy maybe the chosen one is supposed to stop the way of the jedi and the sith and teach them how to use both equally think about it if they use both equally that would balance them out. I've been watching every thing star wars including videos about sith lore and jedi lore all week and all night so this is me being crazy and I mean everything.

Thank you so much for this story! Appreciate!

Learning about Adjunta was awesome. I still remember the ancient Sith ghost you get to meet on Korriban.

id like to see a movie about the first sith lord and the great schism

Vitiate was everything that Sidious wished he could be

Thankyou! Something to listen while trying to sleep. I love this 😍

Man I love these old stories. I read them a long time ago. It's great to get to hear them again without having to actually read them. U also touched on how some ,I guess "younger" viewers don't appreciate how bad ass the Legends EU true cannon is.

I loved exploring the tombs and Korriban in general in the SWTOR games, Ajunta was in there

Can’t wait to see Revan return in all his glory with the KOTOR remake!

Dude, I could literally listen to your videos for hours and hours while working on a project. How do I know? Because I did it today.

The analogy of how the force “feels” hot and fiery is a cool comparison now with Lenobi being released when he describes to her how it feels to him. Like a light and feelings safe or something like that

We need this for the ancient Jedi.

Childhood is when you idolize the jedi, adulthood is when you realize the sith are so much cooler

Dude this was awesome. Thanks Theory ✌

Great video thank you so much may the force be with you always

Legends are my Canon, especially Jacen & Jana solo, Mara Jade, Anakin and Ben skywalker and of course Jedi Grand Master and father, Luke Skywalker who is exactly as he should be.

First comment bruvvvvvvvvv I’m a content creator too

Dude.. Thanks so much for this vid!

This video was so interesting and this was a nice one would also like to see theory cover some of the high republic stuff once we get closer to the release date for Eclipse but I’ll take the legends coverage because it’s rad 🤘
