The Gruesome Origins of the Dark Lords of the Sith - Sith History #1 

The idea that the Sith viewed war as its own sort of harmony is fascinating.

“The Sith Empire will burn brightly, like a supernova, dwarfing the complacent Republic. We shall hold the entire galaxy in our grasp.” - Naga Sadow The history and culture of the Sith has always been my favorite part of Star Wars lore, with Mandalorian history and culture being a very close second.

Kings Adas legacy will forever immortalized the will of the Sith and all their successors for millennium to come.

I like how this is the canon explanation on the reputation of the SIth is why Palpatine refused to be acknowledged as Darth Sidious or a Sith Lord.

Dooku: "I've been looking forward to this." Sheev: "I will watch this series with great interest."

As a practicing Sith Lord, I fully endorse: “APATHY IS DEATH!”

I love the Sith Species, the Caste Lore and just the overall Sith Order Lore.

Always love a good Sith history video! One thing missing about Sorzus Syn was that she authored the Sith Code. "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."

"The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

Once more the sith will rule the galaxy and we shall bring peace.

On the topic of The "Sith'ari" title, many say that Darth Bane was The Sith'ari, but I beg to differ, and say that Darth/Emperor Vitiate was The Sith'ari instead. Here's The Sith'ari Prophecy: • The Sith'ari will be free of limits. • The Sith'ari will lead The Sith, and destroy them. • The Sith'ari will rebuild The Sith, stronger than ever before. When people talk about Darth Bane, they focus on him destroying The Brotherhood of Darkness to make The Rule of Two. But here's the problem: Darth Bane did not lead The Brotherhood of Darkness, as it was (Effectively) Lord Kaan who did. Plus, as Darth Sidious later says in The Book of Sith: Darth Bane had his limitations, which are proven quite often in his book trilogy. Vitiate, however, EASILY could be said to have had no limits, as anyone who sees him in SWTOR would know. After The Great Hyperspace War, and the destruction of The Old Sith Empire; Vitiate (Or, Tenebrae) led 8000 Sith to sacrifice themselves on Nathema to increase his power to god-like levels, and make him immortal. Then, he goes on to rebuild The Sith Empire on Dromuund Kaas, and other worlds to be able to fight The Republic, and Jedi Order much better than The Old Sith Empire under Naga Sadow did. If those facts don't fit the credentials laid out in The Sith'ari Prophecy, I don't know what ever could. Hopefully, I made a convincing theory.

I stand up and salute every time I hear "attention, sergeant on deck"

Oh Boi after the Complete Timeline of the Galactic Republic he just makes another gigantic Series about the whole Sith History , u are a great RU-vidr , perhaps one of the best Star Wars RU-vidr, thank you so much for your Work👌🏼

The Caste system of the Sith sound similar to those of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Cartoon devil + Cthulhu = Sith species.

YES... I have waited for this ever since I saw you put together the history of the Republic

So then… the Jedi started it. They were the ones who declared war on the old Sith. Not surprising really.

Please cover the Lost tribe of the Sith from legends in this series 🙏🏽 I thought their interactions with Abaloth and Luke’s new jedi order were really cool and they’re super unique to me compared to moth other Sith organizations.

Bro ur the best at Star Wars content. You have no given me the two series that hold most interesting story telling timeline of galactic republic and galactic events and now the sith empires

Man I swear The Sith need a force power to summon Snickers. In order to stasfiy there hunger for power. (Plus if you see Darth Nihilus make sure to give him one so that he won't Drain planets for force energy).

The Sith were valuing war before Mandalorians made it cool. lol.

Woah!! Shout out to the OG Sith Lords!

When the Galactic Republic attempted to destroy the Sith Empire, the Empire came back and made the Republic paid for its arrogance, forcing the Republic to divide the galaxy in accordance of the Treaty of Coruscant and ceded half of its territories to the Empire.

My top five Sith are: 1. Darth Plagueis 2. Darth Malgus 3. Darth Sidious 4. Darth Bane 5. Darth Zannah

Interesting idea for a star wars story: Centuries after the battle of Yavin, the sith have risen again to form a new empire and have wiped out the Jedi, discarding the rule of two in the process. However, a sith assassin ends up encountering something that eventually causes them to turn to the light. Now they must go on the run, trying to rebuild the Jedi and restore peace to the galaxy.

This is what I have been waiting on for so long!!!!!! ❤

I appreciate you fleshing out the backstory. You filled in some holes in the mythology that I was not aware of. I have a better understanding of the foundational events that resulted in so many repeat instances of the Sith hitting the fan as often as it did a long time ago in the Galaxy far, far away.

The name should wrapped in such terror because they are the true pinnacle of power...

i love this idea! my favorite part of your channel is the deep lore stuff. much as i enjoy the more recent stuff the older history is what really makes your channel stand out and i love hearing about it

Fantastic. I love this series already as it is a great springboard into deeper topics, and am going through older videos to see if there is any coverage on other topics you touched on here too, such as the great schisms/hundred year war and more about the Rakatan technology. Thanks!

Loved this video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series! Especially can’t wait to hear your coverage on Darth Caedus and also the one Sith empire!

Oh man I didn’t even know how much I needed this

YES, SITH LORE SERIES!!

Thank you! Geetsly’s awesome video !

Like a force of nature is really the perfect description of the strongest Sith Lords. They seem inexorable and immutable.

IRL, the word "sith" is Anglo-Saxon (Old English) for "since".

Sith history videos are the best thing

Funny how the Jedi "Didn't believe" in execution BUT IF the last Dark Jedi that'd, a few of them, would become the first Sith DIDN'T find Koriban or any other world they'd just as likely died a long horrible an drawn out death once supplies ran out.. so other then making their own worst enemies they coulda very easily executed them too in one of the WORST of ways to do so

One wonders how the Sith Empire might have turned out if they didn’t insist on throwing themselves against the Jedi/Republic whenever the opportunity presented itself. I mean, they’ve shown time and time again that they can create a thriving Empire that’s powerful enough to create an existential threat against the oldest and biggest civilizations around. How powerful could they have become if they just let go of their ancient grudges and just focused on their own growth and development?

DEFINITELY!

I have always been fascinated by the sith species and i hope they appear again in star wars media.I hope the current canon will someday tell more stories about them eventually. Maybe the sith could have risen to power before the jedi and the republic rose to prominence themselves, if they weren't to busy fighting each other.I wish they hadn't gone extinct.

Leting those 12 live was the Jedi greatest blunder. XD

One thing that defined the Sith the most was their belief that nature was but another chain meant to be broken, therefor they sought to go beyond the natural and delve deep into the unnatural primarily for power’s sake. However, what was more unnatural of the Sith than all other aspects about them would be their seemingly endless instances of reincarnation and returning for the ages to come… And so much of it finds itself where it all began again: Korriban, the ancient birthplace of the Sith.

Thanks

When I first played swtor which opened the way for more legends lore it’s was a mind blower to learn that the sith weren’t always pale creepy guys in hoods

Finally, the day that I forsaw came to light

The Sith are all powerful. I’m excited!

Hope you'll cover the Legends post-ROTJ Sith, at least touch on them a bit at the end.

Everything we could have hoped for

I love how the first Twelve Dark Lords were the most powerful of their Order, in a way verifying their beliefs in Power and the Strongest; banished by the numerous Jedi to a presumed Death. Also the Species’ history and culture as a whole; from tribes fighting for dominance to a united people fighting civil wars for the Sithari…

I’m not even a Star Wars fan I’m just here for the knowledge…

No matter their more immoral side i will always side with the Jedi and the light side Why would I ever want to be part of a group where there's so much backstabbing and death

The Senate has honorable origins.

Of course we need more true sith history told not the bastardised version we get from those child stealing kidnappers the jedi...teach the more the true my great acolyte...

All hail king B(adas)s!

A new series? You jest. Well, if one wants to defeat evil, one needs to know EVERYTHING that makes it what and how it is and thus makes it eternally tick. One need also be willing to use some of their beliefs and techniques so to beat them at their own game, with the intention of karmic fulfillment, enlightening propaganda for the masses, and as a means to make the historical records far more interesting. Pray you don't end up being on an abyss conundrum, if you know what I mean.

BTW the castes of Korriban down to their roles, and the divergance of genetically different peoples, is eerily similar to India.

What dark Jedi had the potential to be A great Sith ?

lets go

I know they weren't technically Sith, but Xendor, Arden Lyn, and the Legions of Lettow really get no love.

0:27 Okay, I know this image is just The Sith Lords over the millenia in a Medieval Style, but look at Freedon Nadd. Doesn't he look like Melkor/Morgoth from The Tolkien-verse to you? Or at least, CivilizationEx's portrayal of Melkor/Morgoth in his videos? It must be that Iron Crown, which would have The Silmarils in it. Or, just 3 pretty-looking stones from The Onderon Royal Vault. And Revan looks like Sauron in his armor, too. So much Tolkien Inspiration in this image!

Hi geetslys

Will you do jedi history after the sith one is done

Come too the dark side, we have cookies and *Tig* *ol'* *Bitty* *Goth* *girls* .

Does anyone have the full picture from the 0:30 mark? that's really neat

🖤⚡🖤

Hello there

how many AI pictures do you want in your video? : Yes

Does anyone know where I can get a poster of the picture at 28 seconds of all the sith lords on it?

* Game of Thrones music intensives *

Dumb move of the Jedi, not executing the traitors.

Because the Jedi refused to execute 12 people over 30,000 jedi were killed over the years and the sith nearly killed 20 trillion people. MAN THE JEDI SCREWED IT UP.

/did disney steal this too?

Are there any open world games where you play as a sith trainee at the academy on korriban, become a lord and fight to take over new territory?

10:21 this single decision was thing that fucked the jedi for years to come

why does early sith history sound like human history

Man was the worse by far. I was born as a slave, deformed by the force to be fragile and inconsequential, but then mutiliated by a Darth, member of the Dark Council to be a pawn in his games to be tortured by two Sith Lords until I became able to grow on my own to use the force which had been denied to me, destroy the Dark Emperor, the Emperor of the Sith, and rise to be the Aurelian of the Galaxy.

republic history's evil brother time

First

the cancer of the life of the galaxy

Something that I think you can make is analyze two characters together, Darth Bane and Anakin Skywalker. After all they fullfilled ancient prophecies and they'fe stories are equal but in a different way. One represents Jesus Christ and the other Anti Christ. Maybe they can be twins
