Where Malgus Fits into the Star Wars Timeline - Old Republic Explained 

I love how Malgus in the recent cinematic shows that being a Sith is not just lightning, red lightsabers and yellow eyes, its also the art of deception and spreading the darkness within self onto others

Malgus was the Vader of his time. Absolute legend of a character.

The old republic is probably my favorite time period in Star Wars. Keep up all the phenomenal work!!

0:49, just a quick correction if anyone in the comments are confused, that was said a little bit backwards. BBY is "Before the Battle of Yavin(Episode 4), not "Battles Before Yavin," as that would be counting battles instead of years before or after a specific battle.

I would like to see you compare Malgus to other Sith Lords such as Vader and see how they stack up

When the Old Republic trailers came out all those years ago and I saw Malgus I was instantly hooked on the character

Props to theory for providing explanation and backstory to these popular characters.

Star Wars Theory never fails to disappoint his fans. He is an incredible person and fan. I have spoken.

Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely, and they don't have backstories yet, canon works differently than Legends, so it'll be interesting to see their backstories in canon. Also if you didn't know: Darth Revan was made canon in a deleted scene of the clone wars, he essentially told The Son what to do, he now also has his own canon wookiepedia article. Darth Nihilus was a statue in the rise of Skywalker, some fans pointed that out. Don't know which one tho.

These videos are much appreciated bro. As someone who has never played The Old Republic (online) it's cool to learn about Malgus. I've always loved all TOR cinematic trailers. The Hyperspace War stuff is DOPE. I love those old Tales of the Jedi comics! Have a lot of them. Exar Kun & Ulic were my favorite from the series that I read.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when the first thing you see on your feed is a SWT Old Republic video

They should make an animated series focusing on the old republic then later a movie

Malgus was actually undefeatable in his prime. He had removed every liability he had including his lover , fiancee or some might consider slave just in order to have no weaknesses. (For context read the old republic books or play kotor games)

Malgus is an absolute BA. Big reason I love playing Swtor. Such an amazing character. We need some The Old Republic Series!

I am always, ALWAYS here for Old Republic content. Malgus feels like he has so much story still yet to be told, and I want it all.

Malgus is one of the GOATs!!

Bro awesome video I actually know nothing about the old republic so this video is awesome thank you. And keep up the great work

Malgus goes wherever He damn well pleases lol.

General Theory a Darth Malgus video Lore..You Rock 🤘

Finally a video about Malgus I've wanted to hear about him on this channel for such a long time now

Bro they intro was AWESOME man! 🤩

Great video man. You did well covering The Old Republic lore! You should make videos like this more often. The only issue I had is that you skipped the rise of the Sith Triumvirate, which was lead by Darth Traya and her two students, Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion. They gathered what remained of Revan & Malak’s forces after the Jedi Civil War and, with the help of Traya’s brilliant teachings and strategies, nearly wiped out the Jedi using stealth and bating tactics; less than 100 remained. This was the first Jedi Purge that took place before the Sacking of Coruscant and before Order 66. Traya, like many Sith masters before her, was eventually betrayed by her apprentices and left for dead. She survived and took up her original name, Kreia, and sought a way to get revenge on her apprentices. This is also when she changed her philosophy and way of thinking. Having mastered both the Light and Dark sides of the Force, her eyes were opened to its true nature; and she hated it. So much so that Kreia wanted to destroy the Force. To “save” the galaxy from being enslaved by its will. The solution to both of her problems presented itself in the form of Meetra Surik, also known as The Exile. Meetra’s story is a long one, and if anyone is interested, I highly advice playing Knights of the Old Republic 2 and reading the legends novel Revan, which tells the story of Revan & Meetra after the events of their games well (to a degree). But anyway, The Exile was a wound in the Force. It’s a long story, but through this, Kreia saw the potential to destroy all her enemies; including the Force itself. So she manipulated her. Kreia retrained Meetra and taught her to feel the Force again, and unleashed her new apprentice on Sion & Nihilus when the time was right. And when they were both dead, Kreia dawned the title of Darth Traya one last time and betrayed the Exile. Traya went to the heart of Malachor V and gave her final student an ultimatum: either Meetra kills her, or Traya kills Meetra, and through her death, the Force itself. Meetra used everything Traya had taught her to defeat her former master, and saved the galaxy. I hope I did a good job of explaining without going too deep into everything 😅 I’m happy to answer questions in the comment section if anyone is curious to know more though 😁.

Thank you for having a good honest title and thumbnail and having great interesting content without having to resort to cheap click bait tricks. RU-vid NEEDS more RU-vidrs like yourself. Great videos and material 👍🏿. Keep it up. You've earned my subscription and thumbs up click.

I remember leveling a Sith Warrior at the start of SWTOR and thinking how awesome Darth Malgus was during the game. I was so disappointed when players were forced to side with the Sith Emperor and seemingly kill Malgus that I stopped playing the game and never picked it up again. I'm really glad he's back, but it's been so many years and expansions that I'm not sure I could start playing again now.

Bro malgus is like my favorite sith! I appreciate you talking about him, I really hope we get more stuff about him

I absolutely cannot wait for you to eventually cover darth nox and his/her powerful force ability of force walking

Dude is such a sick character. Every cinematic with him is a masterpiece

Book of Sith has a section on Malgus’ campaign journal with side commentary from Vader. Darth Vader admired Darth Malgus except when it came to Malgus’ use of battle droids.

What if Maul was trained by Talzin instead of Sidious?

Awesome video! Iv always wanted to know more of Malgus. Keep up the great work man.

Random but, they revealed the first images from the Kenobi series today!

Super hyped you're doing Old Republic videos!

I love how you are smart with ur content, it foreshadows future Disney films/series and gives context

Malgus vs Vader fan fic video needs to be made !

I want more of the True Sith Empire

They need a film showing this type of stuff

BRO I LOVED THAT INTRO

One of my favourite characters. I hope they make him canon

I’ve been craving to know more about the old republic(as I don’t know much about that time period.) Looking forward to the next few weeks!

PLS DO A VIDEO ON THE NEW KENOBI IMAGES !!! He looks great

We need to see more of Darth malgus

Love the legends stuff theory, and I’ve been loving the eldin ring streams. Keep on posting this awesome content.

Hey Theory, awesome video on such a badass Sith Lord that tanks everything. I had a small suggestion for a video since Kenobi is coming out soon. Since you love lightsaber hilts, why not dive into the history of Obi-Wan's lightsabers throughout the series. I remember growing up with the sequels and noticing his lightsabers change drastically from one design to that closest of A New Hope but never understood why. Just some food for thought, keep up the awesome work, man!

Love old republic era, lookin forward for ur videos bhai

i feel like malgus is what vader could of been if he didnt get that badly wounded against obi wan. same sort of armor, maybe even up to date armor, force lightning, absolute brute strength, with the mobility

This is stuff I’ve been waiting for, this is stuff I like to dive in the most compared to all the Star Wars films that we have, this history going way back to before episode 1 is what makes it interesting for me, can’t wait for the next video.

Its ee years since i played those games so a refresher on the time line would be great.

thank you for the great content

Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely, and they don't have backstories yet, canon works differently than Legends, so it'll be interesting to see their backstories in canon.

I'm so glad neither you or Josh missed a beat. That's what I'm talking about. More relatable than the sequels. 🤣

love these historical recaps..one suggestion..can you put a flag of some kind up on the screen maybe in the corner which indicates when something is canon vs if its legends? sounds trivial but would be helpful..thanks for all you do

So excited to get back into the old republic era!

The old republic has been my favorite time period of star wars since I first played kotor in 2007 it's so full of mystery and interesting characters that I feel has been missing from star wars since Disney took over.

You should do this for a living! That flowed like a movie

Darth Malgus is another reason why we need Kotor/Swtor Old Republic era movies/tv series!

I really enjoyed this video! Keep it up, can't wait for the next one 👍

We need a Darth Malgus series asap!

Im here after I watched you lambo video. I had no idea theory was riding dirty lmao

Hello Love that idea you guys talked about on nerd theory on having fan or guest members on for some streams❤️😊👍🏻

Theory, I figured you're too young to know about the "Tales Of The Jedi " comic series, but you had pages from from the 1995 story that was titled Dark Lords Of The Sith (that showeed Ulic and Exar joining forces and Exar becoming Ulic'c Master as Sith Lords. I remember my dad giving me Knights Of The Old Republic for my 24th birthday in 2001(I'm 45) and also Dark Lords Of The Sith as well a few years later. The art was pretty good, and the writing too. The story of Ulic Qel-Droma, and also Exar Kun is no ,onger cannon, and that is wrong. It's such as great era for stories of Jedi vs. Sith! You mentioned Naga Sadow, and yes, he lived 1,000 years before Ulic, and Exar. His story was told in Golden Age Of The Sith Empire and continued in The Fall Of The Sith Empire. You had showed pages from those series, I immediately recognized Naga Sadow! That's really cool you know who he is. These two series were published around 1997. You are very knowledgeable! Good research man! Wow, I figured no one really gave a damn about that era(and it's been relagated to "Legends", which I hate, because, it was such I cool era! I own those old Dark Horse published Star Wars Tales Of the Jedi comics too! But I never played KOTOR OR KOTOR 2. Last year I have I started playing The Old Republic on Steam. I created a Jedi Gaurdian and a Sith Warrior. I don't play as much as I used to, so I haven't encountered Darth Malgus in the main campaign. Maybe I will enventually, I'd like to know why he is such a powerful Sith Lord and why people think he is such as bad ass. Despite not knowing much about Darth Malgus, this is great video man!

Theory can you do a breakdown on the recent Kenobi images that have released?

Malgus is such a bad ass, and Marr is this epic warrior/statesman

I can't and won't stop hoping for the day that someone, ANYONE will make a show or several movies during the old republic era, where we get to see the sith and jedi in constant battle/war amongst sooooooo many other things. I don't care who does it, just make it happen please! As always I LOVE your content Mr.Theory

I'm surprised you didn't talk about those Kenobi Pictures that were just posted. Oh well maybe later lol keep up the content sir.

Thanks for this Theory. Amazing video!

Really good video, love SWTOR too.

Intro was sick 🔥

Star WarsTheory there's a poster out for Kenobi show, you gotta check it out and do a video bro, much love man, keep up the hard work and love how real and raw you are.

you should do a movie series mabye like 1 hour episodes every couple weeks, going through the history of starwars from a person's perspective but dont worry about crazy effects, you can use the slideshow to show pictures. you could have a few people write the scripts & treat it like a play more than an actual movie.

you should do more of these

Great video. BBY = Before the Battle of Yavin

I love this guy. Great video Theory.

Need more malgus content, one of my favorite Sith

Absolutely love your videos. Nitpicking here but BBY means Before the Battle of Yavin, like BC is before Christ.

Awesome info. Darth Malgus, wooo! ✊🏼

Love your info How about an origin for curasant (spelled wrong lol)

hi your my favorite youtuber you have really helped me learn about are favorite galaxy far far away

Powerfull character with both looks of Sidious and Vader melted and yet different. Am I nostalgic here or did you return to your outro? Please, correct me if wrong! Hugz

More old republic content pls! 🥰😎

Nice legends intro

Do a theory on what if the Before of Yavin didn't happen!

Kenobi trailer just dropped!! Can't wait to see your reaction.

We need more Malgus. His is awesome!

You should do a video on what happened after they killed General krel

How do you gain this knowledge? Are there any books about him if so please let me know

malgus is my fav old type of character

Canonically speaking, Since Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan are canon, Darth Malgus could be canon aswell, he was in a deleted concept in the rise of Skywalker, so I'll say most likely.

THE TRAILER JUST CAME OUT

Ok, one question: Does BBY mean "Battle before Yavin" or "Before battle of Yavin"? I've always thought it was the latter, but Theory just said the former and now i'm confused.

Please do a earth nihilus video down to hear more about him

One of my favourite Sith!

BBY is Before Battle of Yavin. Battle Before Yavin makes no sense. Surprised you got that wrong

Yo theory, did you see the new stills that came out today for Kenobi?

🔥 intro!!!

They need to make the first rated R Star Wars movie with Malgus, would love a dark movie. Sorry Lucas no hope in this one.

Some of my favorite eras

Could you make a video on the Sith Lords in order from Naga to Vader

Would love to learn more tor lore!

Thank goodness for legends, because the last trilogy hurt my heart when there was sooooo much story they could use

Malgus apart from revan and malak of course is my favourite All time sith just so ruthless
