Who Was the ‘Anakin’ of the Old Republic & Why Did He Find Redemption so much Quicker? 

"The knowledge you seek is very powerful, Anakin Skywalker, use it carefully, or it will lead you to the dark side." "I am not afraid." "You should be. I once thought I was impervious to the allure of the dark side. I was mistaken. Do not take the same path as I. - ULIC QEL-DROMA'S SPIRIT AND ANAKIN SKYWALKER Morgan Freeman: "Eventually Anakin followed the same path as Ulic."

Ulic Qel-Droma to Anakin: I once thought I was impervious to the lure of the dark side. ...I was mistaken. Do not take the same path as I.

Marka Ragnos is such a cool Sith, I love how his Spirit always seems to come back.

0:30 Ulic Qel-Droma and Anakin Skywalker do the Spider-Men Pointing Each Other pose.

ulic qel-droma was a legendary jedi

Video Idea: Why Sand is Anakin Greatest Weaknesses

His redenption Mini series with Vima was seriously one of the most wholesome Star wars comics I ever read. I lowkey wanted to cry when I turned the Page and saw that after all this, he finally managed to become one with the force... Though somehow now that I hear the story again years later, I kind of fail to grasp what I felt back then

Ulic Qel-Droma, Revan, Juhani... just a handful of some of the greatest Jedi and most notable Jedi of their times that fell to the dark only to be turned back to the light. Fantastic video as always, I highly doubt I'd be the only one to and an untrimmed version of it, though.

He was also responsible for the destruction of the Dark Reaper which probably saved billions of lives in his time and also during the times of the Clone Wars as he taught Anakin how to defend himself against its power.

absolutely loved the story. I have read it before back in the day but it was fun to sort of relive it. thank you for posting this even if it was a cut down version. i a sure others will enjoy it as much as i did. thank you for a job well done.

I first learned about Ulic Qel Droma and the Great Sith War as a kid playing "The Clone Wars" on PS2. The brief mentions during the cutscenes got me so excited, and I remember wondering what the Old Republic Era was like, since I was too young to play the KOTOR games (plus I didn't have an Xbox back then). Years later in my early teens, I was at a local comic book store that still had a lot of the Dark Horse Star Wars comics from the 90s, and I happened to catch one of the covers: "Star Wars, Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War," and I snatched 'em up. The feeling I had in the late 2000s, reading a comic from the 90s about an event referenced in a game from 2002, is something I can't describe but was one of many that made me the Star Wars fan I am today. Say what you will about the Disney era, I don't think any kid will have the kind of experience I had growing up during the George Lucas/Legends era: watching the Original Trilogy on VHS, then seeing the Prequel Trilogy on the big screen and then DVD. Meanwhile, everything from comics to toys to video games was connected in this massive fictional universe that touched upon ALL times and angles of the Star Wars universe, even if you didn't need to understand it to enjoy the six movies. That feeling of a huge, expanded universe that seemed so limitless and timeless, even in real-life years, is something I don't think any generation will get to experience again, although I hope I'm wrong.

Ulic, Revan, Anakin, all very similar stories. Powerful force users who tasted all the force had to offer, greatly skilled in all aspects. That being said, it seems Anakin was the one to finally end the cycle, as the Chosen One.

History often repeats itself in a nutshell.

Fun fact: Knights of the Old Republic was originally intended to have Vima Sunrider as one of the main characters. Apparently there was some issue with the rights to the name "Sunrider", so they created the character of Bastila Shan to replace Vima in the story. So Vima almost ended up being Revan's love interest.

The fact you mention durion qel-droma at all shows how in depth you going into these things that dude only appeared in one issue of Star Wars tales and was never seen again. Kudos to you my friend

Like I said on 100% Star Wars channel: Ulic got a redemption Anakin got a redemption Revan got hit with a steel chair and lost his title shot at having a redemption.

These stories are so good! How does the owners (Disney) of the property continuously f*** this up. Plenty of source material to derive from. As always great job sir!

Most of his story is a lot like Anakin mainly with his fall and redemption. But the last few bits of it were more like what they tried to do with Luke during the Last Jedi but failed at because that wasn't his character. And Ulic's story did it better.

I love the tale of Jedi comics and Ulic and Exar Kun were totally badassess.

You keep getting Exar Kun's fate wrong. His ritual created a massive amount of dark side energy that rose up from Yavin IV and the Jedi were forced to contain it with the most powerful Light Side technique the Wall of Light. The two energies collided which turned Yavin IV into a fireball and destroyed Kun's body, but left him functionally immortal since he was bound to his temples.

I had these comics when I was young. It was classic star wars, at the moment they rescued Arca, Freedon Naad appeared and foretold that though this was their victory, on of Arcas students was destined to fall

Now, you have to make a video about Freedon Nadd the dark lord of the Sith that many had forgotten about.

How I miss 90s Star Wars...

Man the Qel-Dromas can’t catch a break Ulic fell to the dark side, Quey was killed by Ulic, and Duron (their cousin) was killed by dark side beasts the ternekek (I know I butchered the spelling)

I would say there there a few Anakin-esque prodigies during the Old Republic era. Ulic Qel-Droma is but one; I would hold that Malak was another (not Revan), as well as Bastilla.

I first heard of him via the SWTOR lore videos and he sounds awesome. Seriously, Lucas era Star Wars had so much amazing lore and worldbuilding and characterisation compared to the rehashed disney trash. I say this as a newcomer to the Star Wars franchise, not as an OG fan.

Does obi-wan have an old republic counterpart? Also ulic qel-droma defeat mandlore the indomitable is an incredible feat.

Fitting that you made a video about Ulic, I just finished reading the Tales Of The Jedi Comic Series this week. Also could you make a video about Anakins accolades combat abilities, physicality, force power etc. please?

Ulic was Skywalkering before it was cool. lol.

I love this story. This is part of MY canon.

Qui Gon Jinn: You traveled the galaxy, now you must journey inward.

Love the video, but Satal and Alema Keto only seemed to visit Onderon once and it was during the last battle were Omin died. Nadd led them to his artifacts and told them they were theirs to take and it's how they formed the Krath, and they still communicated with Freedon across the galaxy

I definitely want to hear more!

I remember reading these comics as a child. Sadly the book which featured Ulic’s story fell into disrepair. It was one of my favorite Star Wars stories. Also the Krath were freaking epic and insane.

I cannot help but wonder what Hoggon will be doing in such a confusing state after he has been yelled at by Sylvar after he gunned down Ulic to dead. Also, I think Onderon will be the perfect place for the Paradis' characters from Attack on Titan to reside.

Absolutely amazing story

I remember when my dad brought home two Tales of The Jedi comics when I was a little kid in the 90s and let me read them I was hooked on Star Wars ever since.

It was a sub-sub-department work from the 90s. Makes sense.

We want to hear more!!!

Would you ever be able to make a Hawkbat Battalion video?

And to think he was killed by an odd Muggle Jedi fan with no military training and Freudian reason who wanted to be remembered as the man who ended such "a threat" to the galaxy... not an awesome demise, that. Anyways, BEAST WARS!!! Edit: If anyone asks, yes, Ulic and Vima's bond is replicated in The Last Jedi via Luke Skywalker and Rey.

Merry Christmas

I would love to hear more

Ah, yay. Nomi Sunrider's a favorite of mine, if you want to do more from these comics? (Also those comics had really cool Jedi ships among others.)

What they had Old Republic stuff in the 1990s? Damn I should have picked up some of that stuff.

I really missed these

I was sure this video would be about Ralph, the drunk that crashed his car into an ancient temple while joy-riding on Yavin IV, then turned into a total Sith a-hole after dark side gamma radiation turned him into Darth Red Hulk....or did I dream it? Either way, your story was much more interesting. Thanks for another good one Geetsly.

Lore of Who Was the ‘Anakin’ of the Old Republic & Why Did He Find Redemption so much Quicker momentum 100

nice story and nice video

Tales of the Jedi was an amazeballz series.

Seriously. How many times must the jedi 'presume' the sith to be extinct only for it to bite them in the ass before they learn? XD

I love Ulic Qel-Droma's story.

Imagine Ulic Qel-Droma's ghost appear to Anakin Skywalker in Mortis or as a spirit guardian.

that was a nice little bedtime story

Honestly if you look at the old eu it almost seems like there wasn’t just 1 chosen one but instead it was a recurring thing with the same story playing out and leading to major shifts

Great comparison that is spot on the nose in that respect. Though have always wonder if Vima is actually Ulic's daughter with Nomi

Wanna hear more! Love these lore videos

Marka Ragnos to Droma and Kun: Ladies ladies your both pretty!

Video idea: how would the Star Wars galaxy react to learning about Earth?

I always thought of modern sith like Darth Vader and Palpatine as being pale shadows of the Old Republic sith. Naga Sadow, Tulak Horde, Revan, Malak, etc.

Ulic qel droma and exar kun are the papaltine and anakin Skywalker of the old republic but exar kun was far more powerful than ulic qel droma

I want to see an animated version

the qel droma epics have been name dropped in canon so the story is pretty much confirmed canon at this point.

I legitimately thought you were going to start talking about Revan.

This was sweet 🎂

Curious. Almost like Tales of the Jedi comics came before the Disney one.

Revan: Am I a joke to you?

RIP Kay

Disney stay away from the Old Republic you’re not about to ruin such amazing stories like this one.

This version of “Tales of the Jedi” is far superior to Disney’s attempt lol

Would have assumed revan but nice

When jedi ascend to the dark side and gain superior power , they achieve unlimited powerrrrrr !

Video idea, how pocket sand could have defeated Vader

I watched Overlord DVD's stream the other day, and Khamran Pasha said Disney might be forced to sell out their assets for all the billions they lose because of the woke approach. So might we see Lucas buying Star Wars back? Would be swell. But he'd have to choose some real fans to continue his legacy and take the brand over.

So the original Anakin? What was his opinion on sand?

I thought Revan was the old republic anakin?

I mean, he kinda found redemption because the dude had NOTHING else to do. They cut him off from the Force for his actions, and sent him to live on a deserted ice planet. I'm sure that he ended up "getting over it" because he was more concerned about not freezing to death.

The reason why Dave filoni series have the same name as Tom veich tales of the jedi is because Dave filoni loves to steal from others writers and doesn't like to give credit to them, he wait until tom veich passed away to steal from him, which is very disrespectful

Hahaha so the story of exar kun and ulic kel'droma comes out

Revan: *AHEM*

The fact all this is "Legends" is an absolute disgrace, as Lucas approved every bit of it!!

Because his girlfriend neutralized him, and his bro dying by his hands really caused him to regret everything.

The Senate prefers Anakin.

Sin a Sinciriwasnmadefourya

I have to Said: i don't like Ulic death when i First read tales of the jedi

I think that if they make a Kotor III it's going to follow Ulric's history but with some changes

This is where The Last Jedi ripped off its plot from, wasn't it?

This is why the jedi needed to change the way they viewed and treated the force. Had they at least allowed balanced training between the light and the dark even just for some jedi who they test and believe can resist falling they would be better able to guide the order and prevent their own from turning constantly. instead the Jedi allowed the very thing they preached against to control them; fear

Ah, yes. Another fine example of Dave Filoni stealing the name of a better artist's work and replacing it with his own fanfiction and retcon.

That's why I don't care about legends total bullshit
