VALKORION: Eternal Empire Lore Compilation Video 

Valkorion was the greatest. The Sith depended on him for their survival for millennia, he was their god, that is why they withered in his absence. He outgrew the Sith and their Empire, hence why he abandoned them for Zakuul. The dark side was insufficient for him, he wanted to experience the force in its totality. Revan opened his eyes to this when he almost defeated him using both sides of the force in balance. In Zakuul, he was free to pursue new things that the Sith would have deemed him weak for: love, above all. This explains the change in his personality from the ruthless destroyer of worlds, to the loving husband and the father of three children. He could be whoever he wanted without the chains being Sith imposed on him. Realising this only magnified his power and his perspective.

If Sidious is the devil, Valkorion was a vengeful evil god. Which is ironic with his goal

Y'all forgot Vitiate could form Avatars to cast spells and fight for him I call that Absolute power

Never change stupendous wave never change. Been watching your videos a while. Never think that no one cares about your videos, because when I was in middle school I used to come home and watch your videos before doing other things. I know you just make Star Wars content, but wow you’re a good guy.

My favourite thing about Vitiate's story line is that my first playthrough of The Old Republic wsa as an inquisitor. It was incredible as the very first segment of the game sees you as about to be the victim of Essence Transfer before one of your companions saves you. Felt like a great deal of foreshadowing as I was right back in that same situation of having to deal with more force ghosts and learning how to stop the transfer.

This is a wonderful compilation. The eternal empire is probably my favorite concept in all of Star Wars, just a mysterious threat that came out of nowhere at exactly the right time to take down both enemy factions. I ended up watching some Battlefront II mod showcases and when Valkorian popped up I clapped like a tiny child. Kneel before the dragon of Za-...Zach-...Zakuul?... ok just kneel or whatever.

The eternal empire campaign is the triliogy we deserve!

Dude, Lucasfilm has a whole trilogy here with this and they instead got that shit 😭😭😭

The best villain in Star Wars!

This story is so much more creative and sophisticated compared to anything Disney came up with. They only can reuse already established characters and plots and create nothing new. Even worse, all that was produced is best on a a "ok" level like Mandalorian. But I miss the good old times when games like Kotor or Jedi Knight gave us a glimpse on what fantastic worlds and adventures are still out there in the Star Wars universe

7:15 slight correction. The peace treaty was between the sith empire and the republic. The eternal empire was not revealed yet

Lets be honest; Vitiate is way more dangerous, he wants power just for power's sake. He can wipe out entire planets and create empires. Sidious is nowhere near his level, but that being said; Vitiate used more Sith sorcery/alchemy to gain that power whereas Sidious's power is mostly natural.

No way!!!!!!! Why have I never come across this beast??? Hoping there's a few stories on this. Didn't realise there was this much extra lore in SW.

I never knew anything about this Starwars stuff, pretty cool and very interesting how deep the lore goes.

I say Vitiate was more powerful that Palpatine for sure. I mean his feats outmatch Sidious. He lived far longer than Sidious did living 1500+ years and absorbing force from planets and more.

Heh, imagine being the squad assigned to train the twins and Vaylyn - prolly pissed they get to be glorified baby sitters. Then BAM! They get their armor and helmets shrunk. This is great stuff, Stup.’ I’m kinda new to SW, love history, and have really gravitated to the Old Republic and earlier; thus far, stories related to the Eternal Empire have been my favorites. This documentary listens like a history class! Which I guess it is, but you’ve done a great job at making it like a college course summary, getting all of us students motivated to dig into the deeper backstories.

The Dragon of Zakuul is such a badass title.

"I don't always one-shot my enemies with force lightning, but when i do... it's to some of the most powerful Sith ans Jedi in the galaxy...with one hand." Emperor Valkorian aka The Most Interesting Emperor in the Galaxy 😆is it just me or does this dude look like the Most Interesting Man in the World

More fire. Thank you for your work. Best lore channel yet. I am one with the force, the force is one with me

Tenebrae Vitiate Valkorian will live again somewhere and sometime some ambitious force wielder will find his personal Holocron and Spell books remember the Emperor was a Sorcerer and Alchemist there will be at least one or two holocrons and numerous spell books he might follow beyond Darth Krayts Empire or someone can find the Dark Staff far too many loose ends

Well done, man. This was excellent.

Darth Vitiate (Immortal Emperor) Quote "You discern a fraction of reality beyond these stars exist other galaxies, other worlds, and other beings. I will experience or ignore them as I wish. I will spend eternity becoming everything: a farmer, an artist, a simple man. When the last living thing in the universe finally dies, I will enjoy the peace and wait for the cycle to begin again." Tenebrae loves life and is willing to do anything as an immortal to experience it until he finishes devouring all life in the universe or until he witnesses the end of the universe. However, he is still power-hungry and willing to rule a strong empire. As Valkorion, Tenebrae matured and actually removed any thought of devouring all life and simply used it as an idle threat if all came to oppose him. He loved Senya but his love doesn't extend to his children because how he fears their power and fears that they will grow up into ruthless leaders who will one day overthrow him. Tenebrae sees a lot of himself in Vaylin and worked to dominate her so she won't overthrow him similar to how he overthrew his own father. It is interesting that all of Zakuul saw him as a good leader (not a good person) who actually gave his people comfortable and peaceful lives. He did not impose the Sith doctrine on his people but somewhat on his children. Overall, Tenebrae is a monster but is a complicated villain because his final attachments are what led to his own defeat. His final attachments were his family and he loved them in his own twisted way. However, Tenebrae's actions led to his family helping the Jedi and the Sith destroy him once and for all. Tenebrae loves life to the point he hates the Sith for discarding life and hates the Jedi for sacrificing themselves for the sake of people they do not know. The Jedi and the Sith believe Tenebrae is a monster who cannot change. However, they are wrong as Tenebrae did love Zakuul and his family in his own twisted way. It should be noted that the Tenebrae we see in Echoes of Oblivion is not him but an imprint of who he once was (a world-devouring conqueror).

I've watched this so many times already.

The eternal empire cinematics and story are what the sequels could have been 😭😭😭

It's cool that Vitiate could do a facsimile of what Nihilus could do casually. Tho, where Nihilus isn't satisfied, Vitiate was granted power, AND immortality.

Sideous was trying to recreate what Valkorian did but failed

This would be a phenomenal and an engaging live action series over multiple seasons.

As far as who "kills" Valkorian in the initial scene part (before Valkorian inhabits Outlander's mind), that is totally controlled by whether the player Kneels or not (In-game choice). If player kneels, Arcann stabs his father. If player refuses to kneel, player stabs Valkorian.

He was way more powerful than Sidious

Disney should litterally make the old republic TV series around this era.

Good job!

First. Also Darth Vitiate/Emperor Valkorion is easily one of my favorite Star Wars characters

I enjoyed this

Great video as always tho!!

There so many good star war stories.....why did they have to destroy Luke's story

One of the best SW sagas, better than anything generated by the Disney/Lucasfilm group.

I wish we could get an animated show of the eternal empire with the voice actors.

I really love the ads every 3 min

he's the best thing in star wars hands down.

It’s not Arkaaaan it’s Arcan 💀😂

While it is true that Arcann does not have a lightsaber style shown in the initial intro scenes, he does battle the Outlander in the dock of Asylum, so if you play that chapter (ASYLUM) it does have scenes of him using his yellow lightsaber.

Will you ever do a lore on Darth Raven?

Love him as a Villan a movie on this man needs to be made

Nice

A God has no need for a Family.

Been playing the classes in SWTOR and have been wondering how Sidious is considered "The strongest Sith to ever live" considering he only reigned for a few decades and certainly didn't do a quarter of the things Vitiate did. Forget about lifespan, and percentage of their life spent actually in power of the Empire. Granted, Sidious *did* wipe out the Jedi, in practicality at least. But Vitiate ruled for a looooong time and lived through just so many different people and lives. Just touching so much throughout his life.

Its so easy to say that this should just be its own film, but it would be veryyyyyyy difficult to pull off. Vitiate's reign spanned over 1,000 years, there's just no way to cover all that ground in a movie or even a trilogy and have it make sense. You'd have no continuity of protagonists, because Vitiate lives for so long, a Jedi's lifetime is a nap for him, so you'd have no central hero to root for. You'd have to chop it up, and split it into three different time periods of his life. The end of the hyperspace war where he gained immortality and flees into exile/ His initial onslaught against the republic and rivalry with Revan/ His final push as Valkorian.

We need a complete lore video on Revan

The audiobook Revan is awesome they have a couple chapters about Lord Viciate I would like to know who the hero of Typhon is

I really wish they would make an old Republic movie

Valkorian's undoing was having offspring. He should have gotten snipped and wore protection.

The mother married the darkest lord then is upset when her kids r evil lol

Arcann was the one who gave her gifts.

one reason I favour Valkorion more is his dressing style.

The reason Arcann’s force lightning was different was because he was trained in the unique force traditions of Zakuul. Those traditions where neither light or dark by nature.

Just started star wars old republic again been 11 years since last log in surprisingly 2 of my characters were still there lost my counselor and sith sorcerer

This could be the greatest star wars film saga ever made if Disney would allow true creativity to happen at Skywalker films.

Arkan didn't pin anything on the Outlander, it was The Outlander that struck Valkorion down. Stabed him in the back, and I believe the Outlander said you should have killed me when you had the chance and Valkorion responded so be it and started to laugh and then his spirit then entered the outlander's body and slowly started the process of grooming him into his next vessel while he was encased in carbonite.

I wanna know what his lightsaber looks like and the meaning behind all of the golden lightsabers

One quick question. Did Lucas write all of this? Never knew about Nihilus, Revan and more. Did he write all of this? (And Nihilus is too underrated)

This game proves that sith can become force ghosts too.

He absolutely eclipsed the power of sidious, it's not really comparable

Are there any Star Wars Novels or comics that cover the time of Valkerion, the Eternal Fleet his twins etc? I just started the novel”Revan” but not sure where it takes place in the timeline. The videos I’ve seen of some of the Old Republic games show the twins but not sure where it takes place in the timeline. It all looks very interesting.

RICK LONG CANBERRA NERDS INC ! LOVES THIS VIDEO ! KAMBAH REPS ! 😀

Actually it is stated that Zakuuluns did not wield either the dark nor the light side, rather their strength in the force was based on their commitment to their leader or to Zakuul itself. This dialogue takes place between the Outlander and Lana within the 3rd chapter of KOTFE. This would most probably extend to Thexan & Arcann as well as to his sister Vaylin, although clearly both Arcann & his sister Vaylin exhibited actions that would be considered dark in retrospect. (Thexan never got a chance to rule as he was slain - possibly accidently - by Arcann (when Arcann was trying to kill Valkorian - see beginning montage of chapters for KOTFE)

The second most powerful in all of Star Wars. Other than all the other stuff, lol.

Should have been the villain of Rise of Skywalker.

Stopped watching this part way through to avoid spoilers. Maybe I should go back and pick up where I left off with SWTOR? Don't recall quite how far I got into the content with Valkorian but it wasn't too deep and it was many years ago since I last played it.

I don't believe for a second that sideous is more powerful than some of the ancient sith. Better at scheming yes but we have never seen or heard of him doing anything close to what we've heard of some of the ancient sith do.

What’s the song in the background

I dont know why star wars movies continue to focus on the Skywalker line so much when these awesome characters exist in the lore! This is the movie trilogy I want!

And how is Darth Vicia weaker than Palpatine? I have so many questions. (And don't say it was because he is a politician)

Reminds me a lot of that fifth faction added to Eve Echoes 🤔

The greatest Sith to ever exist

They should do a show on him hear me Disney plus

Hey Stupendous Wave, Please Tell us, Are you almost finished with What if Qui Gon Jinn Trained Anakin part 3, we have waited long enough to get an answer from you, so please tell us. we are Anxious to see it when it releases.

I think Keanu Reeves was in talks to play this character

Lol the emperor formally known as vitiate

Darth Sidious vs VALKORION would be an interesting fight

Can definitely tell Bioware's D-team wrote this dude's story, lol.

they need to make more cartoons dave

To be played by Val Kilmerian

Fanatic of the old republic))) Darth Krayt easily speedblits Valkorian

Imagine vitiate performed that ritual on courascant

Who is the zabrak at 8:57

Whoa I haven’t been on Battlefront 2 in years, they added old republic hero’s???

I would love to see this become Cannon and a series on Disney +. That would be insane

Disney needs this movie

Its like red alert 3. Suddenly the rising sun came out of nowhere (well due to time change)

i believe vitiate is stronger than palpatine because we havent seen a single feat as strong as vitiates force powers

Can't wait to see how you might use new AI tools to bring these to life! Consider.

Is vitiat Canon? If so, do you think Palpatine learned of his powers of essence transfer and is it possible the force lightning used to bring down the resistance fleet on exigol was learned the same way? Palpatine seemed to want Rey to kill him so all the sith would be within her, essence transfer?

How would the Eternal Empire fair against the Rakatan Empire?

What if Keanu Reeves played as Revan..yes I know off subject

He is one of maybe five sith that actually deserve the title of Darth(even though he doesn’t use it). Vitiate, Adas, Marka Ragnos, and Tulak Hord. I feel like the last one isn’t either Revan or Sidious, but it’s not coming to mind at the moment

It's true from a certain point of view... Thexan did die during the war.

Hi

Im quite annoyed. If light sabre can cut yr hands off. Every kill with a light saber should cut body parts off if they slice the person. Common, the censorship is not making it realistic. If u cut the guys neck, i wanna see heads flying. But its thanks to the game rating for larger audience to play or watch

I admire the red sith beings! Shame star wars seems to always make cool alien species/beings go extinct...

"Ar-Can"
