Force ghosting to your opponent immediately after being killed is definitely a flex that should be canon.
See? This is what happens when you wait 20+ and 30+ years to fulfill a story arc. Vader hunting down Jedi would've made a far better trilogy than the sequels we got. This was the first time I had heard of her, and I find her fascinating. I love your obscure character breakdowns.
This would make the vader and clone war obsession palatable for average SW fans.
I noticed certain similarities between the Dark Woman and Cere Junda. When they both fought Darth Vader, the women were able to put valiant efforts, even managing to momentarily get the upper hand on the Dark Lord to different degrees before being killed.
Seems to be a trend. More powerful Jedi get an edge on Vader then end up dying in a swift motion
that's kinda the weird part about these vader post order fights... he shouldn't be able to win these, it's mainly his plot armor
@@andrewstricher144 not really plot armour though is it
They're women,other thoughts sometimes gets inside the mind of a man before you realize they gotta go
@@andrewstricher144yeah nothing to do with him changing and becoming one of the strongest duelist ever to live,just his armor
FINALLY Someone talked about The Dark Woman! Wooo!
I think shes been mentioned on this channel before as I think shes the one that can phase through objects with the force.
An’ya Kuro could also use the power called Plant Surge, notable tangling Vader’s cybernetic limbs with vines and momentarily get the upper hand on the Dark Lord.
What an interesting character. I’d love to see a live action version of Anya Kuro while training Aurra Sing and subsequently their later encounter. Also including Anya’s secret missions and unique force abilities.
She would…edge her students? Oh my 😂
Ya know... this is a cool character. Star Wars EU/Legends has some baller individuals that many fans just won't ever get to see with the current Canon.
*Anakin becomes a force ghost*
Anya Kuro: I told yoooooouuuuu
Mad Respect to Anya Curo. She was a good one. But I wonder what would've happened if she had been less zealously devoted to the Jedi Code.
The fact that Vader saw a person become a force ghost before Obi-Wan never sat right with me. Cuz Vader acted like he didn't know wtf happened when he cut down Obi-Wan.
In Episode 4 Vader just prods Kenobi's empty robes. He never refers to the force ghost phenomenon, and doesn't argue when Tarkin gloats that the last Jedi is now dead.
@tompearce5418 If you read the novelizations it goes FAR MORE into his thought process. It talks about the terror both him and Tarkin feel when they look at Obi-Wan disappearing. Even so, I'm not entirely sure how your statement is supposed to preclude mine. Tarkin doesn't really say the last Jedi is dead he says, "You My friend are all that's left of their religion."
One of my favorite aspects of this program is that it still looks at the old stuff, whether because it was better, or more interesting than now, or just because it is interesting to know that, years ago, things were different.😊
Back around 2007, I think, I was first getting into the tabletop RPG aspect of Star Wars, and while even I sometimes lamented how much those Jedi really embraced the term "wizards", being more akin to the D&D mages I played, then a character we'd seen in a film, I was stoked. One of the middle books of that RPG set (Saga Edition) included the phasing power, and that was when I made what, at least for me, was my own iconic SW character; Endymion Farstrider. I learned things about the Dark Woman today that I did not know then, but I still knew enough to know that she was the Clone Wars era Master that Ender would have; in part because she was the one who knew phasing, but also because her education would be what allowed him to survive, as a child, in the Jedi Purge era, where so many others didn't. She ranks among several of my own favorite Legends characters, even if I must confess that my typical nerd-diligence wasn't up to snuff, as I learned several things today.😊
Thank you for the good video, and another fun trek through what I like to think of as MY Star Wars!
I want to see the dark woman in the future of star wars
Plenty of strong women in Star Wars they didn’t need to replace the choosen one
I mean she was from before the time the movie were based on! So unless it’s a movie about the past you won’t see her!
That's so cool. I've never heard of her before. And I've always read so many books. And she was never in any of the books. I like it when you pull out the jedi that we've never heard of
Love these obscure character breakdowns! Excellent content! Thank you!
So glad I have her figure.
AMAZING! Keep these videos coming! Thanks!
THIS is a Jedi I'd LOVE to see in live action! Outstanding video, I had never heard of her before this. I'm a 50 yr old OG Stat Wars fan, but unfortunately, I never took much interest in legends material until recently. Your channel is a big part of thereason I've become so interested in it. You cover a lot of great Star Wars topics, and you do it well. Thanx for all your hard work! Love your channel!
Jedi Master Anya Kuro, aka The Dark Woman, is among my most favorite figures in SW Legends. She is unique yet evidently flawed, her character design, both physically and personally, make her stand out from her peers, and even she was a victim of the Jedi Order's hubris in their arrogance, self-righteousness, their rigid and obsolete beliefs in what the Jedi are supposed to be about and even their relationship with the Force.
Anya however was able to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Force and master powers that were rare and uncommon, presumably because she approached the Force in a different way than most Jedi or even the Sith and Dark Jedi. Which in and of itself, I feel, is a shame. However she approached or viewed the Force, it proved she was capable of thinking outside the box, to look at things from another perspective in order to gain greater enlightenment, and yet she was unable to escape the dogma that led to the Jedi Order's undoing.
Her zealotry made her even worse in how she treated "problem padawans" and while she had successes with Ki-Adi Mundi and A'Sharrad Hett, she ruined the life of Aurra Sing and her cruelty and negligence resulted in the creation of a prolific and vicious jedi hunting bounty hunter, not to mention Hett went on to become one of the darkest Sith ever to live many years later.
I acknowledge her moniker was a humbling one, but it wasn't nearly as constructive as she might have thought. She took her beliefs too far, farther than even Yoda or Mace Windu, and had she been more flexible and open-minded, I feel she would have been a kinder and much better Jedi for it. Yoda and Windu did not discard their identities in service to the Order or even the Force and they were still great Jedi Masters in spite of their own flaws.
I really wish we'd gotten to see Anya Kuro in the Star Wars Canon or at least confirm that she is canon at all. I'd like to think, if she was canonized, she'd be among the exceedingly few Jedi that are still confirmed to have survived the Jedi Purge, like Quinlan Vos was in the "Obi-wan" series. While her story ended in the Legends continuity, it was a bittersweet ending in how she went out on her own terms rather than Vader's, that she'd accepted her fate but didn't go down w/o a fight, and got the last word in on remind the conflicted Sith of his true identity and leaving him cheated of a true victory while she ascended to a higher plane of existence.
She was very cool, one of my favorites.
Any chance you could do a video on force healing? Those renowned at it and in different eras?
This is the Jedi master I would want to be trained by. She is so badass and has a unique way of looking at the force. And let's not forget a skilled Jedi since she could fight Vader twice (even though she died the second time.) But she pushed Vader to his limits.
What if The Dark Woman trained Anakin?
then Anakin would be closer to the light side. For Dark woman is loyal to the Jedi and light side while be a hardass
That would be an interesting scenario
Or she might just push him to the dark side faster
@@DeathScepter Didn't the video said she already created another dark lord and the girl that hated the jedis because her master abandoned her after being kidnapped?
@@tnnetnattninuttn4627 true that did happen. Hett falling to the dark side was years after Order 66.
Always considered that comic story of her fight with Vader as one of my favorite short stories.
I can hear her now.. I'm not bad.. I'm just drawn that way. 😂
I don't spend much time on computers.
I greatly enjoy the content you put out.
Your voice sounds perfect for the subject matter.
You deserve the views you get.
I will continue to watch your videos and I wish you well in all.
Well done.
Wow!! Never heard of The Dark Woman. This is great!
She sounds like Genkai from Yuyuhakusho. I want her adapted 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I wonder what would of happened if anikan trained under her (that would be an interesting thing to think about)
You know, the Jedi must of been higher than fuck if they knew about this woman and new Anakin was the chosen one.
That's kinda the issue with extended lore Universes even more so after the fact the first film was in 1977. It's almost pushing 50years old
💙Absolutely loves this one.
Never heard of 💜The Dark Woman.
Amazing character & coverage! 💛
Love it!! And I want a portrait of the still at 9:04
Love these lore videos!!!
Glad you like them!
This has to be the best channel ever!
Anyone else think Anakin could have used this teacher? Nipped that urge for Naboo's smooth lake country in the bud.
her battle with Vader was in Star Wars Tales volume 1 iirc. Mara Jade tracked her down first, and wanted to be the one to finish her, but Palpatine decided that the task of killing Anya Kuro should fall to Vader as he had more experience killing Jedi
Not only that but Vader far more powerful and way more skilled with the blade, mara jada is not even a threat to the Jedi master at all if she went she would've been killed instantly.
@@Matt03981 True... at this stage of her training, she's no match for a Jedi Master, but Palpatine still gives Vader's experience at killing Jedi as the reason
Wow what an amazing jedi
Very Cool! TIL!
with a name like that... it would be super interesting if they got an actress like Lashana Lynch or Michaela Coel to play her in live action. 🖤 a kind of powerful yet ironic double entendre
Dark woman, needs to be a movie! 🦹🏼♀️
Anya was no joke,was iver 100 yrs old and could teleport and phase through objects like the flash,her force abilities and duelist powers were very strong.woildve loved to see her go against sidious or young vader
I'm surprised she didn't have a rainbow lightsaber. It's the rarest lightsaber color.
Disney: 🤔 ✏️🗒
O it's coming
......... Ya know, that would honestly be pretty cool. A lightsaber so in-tuned with the wielder that it could change colors
In a way--purple is that color. One ring to rule them all and all that. Purple is the color expressing "rule" , royalty, and power (physical and "magical" even). It is made by mixing Red (Sith-fire) and Blue (Jedi-water)--which creates "steam" or energy (the Force...).
Technically white light is all color wavelengths so unless it flashed through different colors it'd just be white.
cool character, ive never had a chance to read any of this extended lore.
She is really cool.Really cool! Anya is extremely skilled,capable. She commited herself completely to the Force. Her rigitidy is the great flaw. Until that she's very close to Qui-Gon. I would like to know more about her. You mentioned her before. May the Force be with her too :)
And Qui-Gon was far wiser, far stronger, because Qui-Gon understood that the one cannot simply exclude one side of the Force, and both codes are complementary.
In the Ongoing comic series she actually walked thru walls!
Wait a minute!..... she could make herself intangible, invisible, and pull yhe energy of the force from living things and STILL lost to a man with a respirator on his chest? She must not have been THAT good!
The dark woman or a mysterious dominatrics of Corescant. Palpatine personal masseuse.
I view her as the antithesis of Kreia. Tough, rigid, frustrating, and fully believed in her opinions about the Force.
“The Dark Woman” is an iconic name?? Easy there, Tiger.
i had heard about here in passing etc before like she was a brutal master etc but i did not realise how strong she was and that she was the master to darth kraith an extremly powerfull person that might be able to be close to lukes lvl considering he was able to help luke aigenst abeloth and then disapear without luke having any idea who he was where he was and where he went.
Here is a question to anyone in the comments. Do you all think that the dark woman would have been a perfect fit for Anakin Skywalker as a Jedi master instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi?
I think she would have been WAY too harsh. Anakin thought Obi-Wan was tough, Kuro was another level entirely.
Would have been worse. As a woman she become a Jedi by becoming strong and more "man-like" (adopting her masculine side--fire--and becoming centered between red and blue, which makes purple). Anakin wanted to release his masculine side instead of learning control and becoming like water (feminine side) which Obi-Wan was always trying to teach him to do. Putting more fire on fire only makes it bigger. Why women who want to become enlightened (Jedi) should not embrace serenity (water) but should instead embrace their "dark" side (adding more water to water doesn't work). George Lucas claims to have been influenced by Eastern philosophy and Joseph Campbell's take on Hinduism (read the Upanishads) and calls himself a "Buddhist-Christian." Compare the Hindu Triumvirate with the Mortis gods and should be able to figure out the pattern if interested...
She would make Anakin believe that he was doing the younglings a favor.
Your thumbnail looks like the album cover of the Austrian band Squirrels With Lightsabers. Not a bad album at all.
When she phased thru the wall, it freaked Mace Windu out😅
I did not know about her, matter of fact I figured this would be a video of Darth Traya
Great character. I would to see her in the fold in some capacity.
Im so in love with her now.
Expanded universe is amazing
Like Master Fey, she's strong in the Force that she's very old and balanced. IMO, Anya Kuro could had returned back from being a force ghost.
The Dark Woman was one of my favorites during the Clone War Era. She almost took down Vader. I love the EU.
So good.
Dude she was not even close to taking down Vader, you are seriously overrating her abilities. She put up a fight but that's about it, even the most powerful Jedi masters are still weak compared to Vader's power.
you should make a what if video on what if she trained anakin
She needs a show
"I clicked on the wrong movie" ahhh thumbnail
Jon Antilles next 👀
if all these non canon jedi masters teamed up against vader and sidious, things would ended up differrently
Since we're making up a yet another lost or forgotten Jedi, lets talk about GiuwDaan B1.
Vader: You die alone
Dark Woman: Maybe but once dead I won't leave you alone
Damn she made ki adi mundi the war criminal
I feel like ahe is one of the most comparable to the ancient Je'daii, with how she acknowledged that she darkness, and used that to her advantage.
This right here is what a true STAR WARS fan does. They make content ABOUT Star Wars and not the weird tabloid side of Star Wars. Thank you for this channel. SUBSCRIBED!
Vader has no equal 🥰
Literally everybody except for yoda and obi wan could sense the light within anakin.
I have always wondered how often the jedi accidentally harm themselves with their lightsabers considering how dangerous they are.
The Dark Woman isn't an off-putting name to me. I find that name to be rather... attractive.
I thought she was the last Jedi to die in the Purge, not Obi-Wan? Because shortly after her death, Luke destroyed the DeathStar and Sidious at that point viewed the rebels as the biggest threat to his empire, so he called off all those hunting the few Jedi remainin in the galaxy, and instead had them focus on the destroying the rebels...and if she did die just after Obi-Wan had, it'd explain why he was so much more confused with Obi-Wan becoming one with the living force and not so much the Dark Woman when she presented herself as a force ghost immediately after death, because he had seen something similar before with Obi-Wan when he dissappeared into the force.
She also trained Darth Krayt
Qui-Gon should have been the Council's leader though. He was actually more in tune to the right kind of wisdom. Yoda had depth and experience, but could have used a shift to Qui-Gon's thinking. So, that comment was interesting. If Qui-Gon led the order, the stodgy Pharasitical ways wouldn't have gotten the best of them. Vader would have never been. So say what you want, he was one of the best heads in the game if not the best.
I’m glad she personally chose a new name for herself based around her edginess seems like no self attachment there
Anya was a mad woman, who was afraid of herself. So she cloaked herself in the dogma of the Kedi Order to prevent herself from becoming a victim. The darkness within her self, was the Fear of attachment.
So this information just comes out of no where?
They had so many loved books to draw from and they did this instead
Once again, 2008 clone wars don't even scrape this important part of the story. This is why Legends can't be discarded to it's own universe. It is definitely a part of G canon, and fits chronologically well into it.
A Star Wars Movie on her life as a Jedi would be interesting.
Purity is power. Purity of thought and intent. Truth is a hard taskmaster
Before seeing this, I had idea for female jedi who good friend with Qui gon from when they were padawans. She became a black sheep in the order as she
She's going undercover sounds like cia
Legends is canon to me.
Insert Lego Batman gif
If familiar with the Eastern philosophies that George Lucas based Star Wars on (especially Confucianism and Taoism--although he himself calls himself a Buddhist-Christian), it is rare for a female to become enlightened. This is because of society. We teach our women to fear the world and only recently were they allowed an education. Fear is usually not the major flaw for men to become "centered"--instead they must adopt what many consider feminine traits by letting go of their ego (the goal of meditation) and embracing their empathy for others (becoming selfless and "weak"). For women their path is different. Their biggest weakness is usually fear and this is conquered with adopting the "masculine" traits of strength and courage. Psychologically and misunderstood by society--we usually seek our "soul-mates" (those that will make us complete) in other people; "out-there" somewhere, instead of searching "in-there" first. Why good weak girls like strong bad boys. And "strong" bad boys prefer weak good girls. They are looking for what they don't have...but in the wrong place. Lucas seems to suggest that strong women who become "centered" or enlightened will possess "supernatural powers"--akin to witchcraft. This too is common in Asia--the White Tiger-Sorcerous vs the Black Dragon--Mystic. Why Freemasons frown on their secrets being taught to women--wouldn't want more Salem Witch trials (weak men afraid of strong women...).
Man if she existed during Darth Vader she would have just mad Vader look like a kid 😅
Imagine she trained Anakin? A What If? Series???
I mean.
While all is cool.
At her core, she is just another failure. Another dogmatic Jedi that was corrupted by the stagnancy of the Order
Her students were failures. Her doctrine was wrong. And finally she was forgotten.
I think we should REALLY pay attention to these things.
The Dark Woman is an example of how Jedi should NOT be.
I love the the Expanded Universe. I have no idea why Disney didn't use any of it. Now, look at Disney's Star Wars now. It's lacklustre and soulless. Dark Horse Star Wars comics was immense, especially Tales of the Jedi and Legacy. As for awesome characters, Dark Woman is one of them. Hopefully, Disney won't ruin her character if introduced. But it's unlikely as they have ruined everything else.
The Dark Women is a strong female character done right
Because Disney couldn’t write a story if the whole galaxy depended on it.
@@markhagopian3257 Judging by the awful Disney trilogy, I have to agree.
@@nathanchun4880 Characters are done well if written right.
Kennedy ruined it
Hi
It should be Cere from Jedi Survivor because I worked Vader with her until he cheated 😂
What if the jedi order gave anakin to her as a padiwan
Anya Koro was a Great Jedi,however her absolute extremes of endeavor weren’t balanced and harmonious.Balance and Harmony fruition with wisdom and strength is the ultimate path.
Don't know why, but she reminds me of kreia
Day 358 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon
Let’s be honest, she’s powerful and Vader probably has a bit of a super secret crush on her 😂
she participated in the battle of geonosis?, then how come the only purple saber there was windu........?
Oh if only Star Wars was in good hands. It would out shine the MCU
She looks like she’d be voiced by Jane Lynch
Why what anakin would have become if he learned her abilities.
