Malak probably destroyed Taris because he was sick of losing to Deadeye Duncan in the dueling ring five times in a row
That vibroblade every time 🤣
How. I have yet to lost to him or Geronimo Two Fingers!
I once tried to lose to lose to him and gave up after him missing 5 minutes worth of attacks
You just gotta upgrade as many attack skills as you can
@@marcusblackwell2372 mainly the power attack ability
Lore aside, Taris is one of the coolest planets of SWTOR if you played KOTOR. Perfectly captures the vibe of a city planet centuries after its destruction. Very interesting concept aswell.
Agreed, it's a cool planet
If? I thought everyone did😀
The mission where you collect the recordings of Taris survivors is real tearjerker.
Although a little bit of conflict in the game SWTOR and with what you said, but the rakghouls were actually humans at one point. I honestly don't remember what they were in KOTOR, it's been a long time since I played that game.
@@texas1872 In KOTOR they were "just" monsters that suddenly appeared (ie were discovered) and started terrorizing the lower town. Those wounded by them would take turn into them.
In SWTOR you learn they are product of ancient Sith alchemy, essentially Sith version of zombie plague.
Maybe I am missing something but I don't seen any contradictions.
Taris: I exist!
The Sith: You're f***ed.
shoutout to my boys over at Geetsly's for the consistent KOTOR content.
Yup! Half the reason I fell in love with his channel
It really really needs more praise and attention. I fell in love with the CW because of the massive amount of war going on and how cool the clone troopers were. This era became my favorite after playing the games, for how intense the storyline is and how in depth you can really go with this era. Not to mention Revan, who easily can be seen as my favorite now, lol.
Shoutout to you for being a legend part of a legendary fanbase!
SWtoR was the first game I religiously played, before I ever saw the movies. The backstory that Geetsly provides is fantastic. I watch a few videos a night, best to find a channel like this, years into content. Thanks for your work.
Heck yeah!👍
"But my lord, what about our forces?"
"What about them? They're Sith, they probably knew what they were getting conscripted into."
Ah yes, Taris, the rakgouhl infested hellscape my bounty hunter character may, or may not have, assisted in keeping in such a perpetual stat or uninhabitableness
I honestly wonder if Rukil and his friends survived the destruction of Taris because they were below the city. Imagine spending years searching for the promised land then getting bombarded into bits because some angry Sith Lord wanted to find a single Jedi
You mean couldn’t find…
They did survive. However generations later they slowly died off.
The story of Rukil and his people is told in the SWTOR campaign for republic characters on Taris.
It didn't end well for them...
They did survive and find their 'Promised Land'... but it didn't quite live up to the hype and over the generations, the descendants of the Undercity outcasts slowly died out because the surface of Taris was still radioactive. Not to mention the ongoing presence of the rakghouls.
In the end, none survived.
That mission... Broke me. I turned of my computer, laid down and cried. You do so much for them in kotor. Get the supplies, the meds. They set off with hope and you never see them again until swtor.
Sorry...😢😢
You’ll always be superior in the Star Wars community for the original battlefront intro!
That and everything else that makes him the greatest Star Wars TH-camr of them all.
Hahaha thank you. It's a classic
I just finished Kotor for the first time. I didn't complete every quest on Taris, particularly the arena. I thought I would be able to come back when I had leveled up more. I didn't see the planetary destruction coming. I thought maybe I could still go back even if most of it was gone. It finally hit me when it wasn't on the galactic map on the Ebon Hawk. The starting area that gave me my first taste of the game was just, gone. The people that tried to reach the Promised Land, gone.
Just to let you know, they did actually make it.
Did they? That’s a relief. I didn’t finish KOTOR, but I felt so sad when the planet was destroyed.
@@cashwalk7253 According to some of the comments here, those people did, yet their descendants hardly survived past several generations, given that the Promised Land was well... not so promised after all, while the rest of the planet surface rendered nearly uninhabitable. in the end, none of the descendants of those people survived.
This was my favorite part of KOTOR. I was actually sad when it was destroyed. You do all that work to help the people and the planet improve, only to have it destroyed anyway. Even if you rob people and make life worse for everyone, it still gets destroyed.
I just realized something. I visited Taris in KOTOR and in swtor, so I could see the before and after. Taris was so destroyed It didn’t even cross my mind that they were the same planet
I remember something Mission said in KOTOR that nothing over two stories was left standing. I had the same issue too. "This cant be Taris. Where are the buildings?... .... Oohhhhhh... Right.... Malak happened."
So Tarus became an ALMOST Corusaunt and with STRATEGIC VALUE... You'd figure the Republic whom if remember still had standing intergalactic Military forces at this time woulda thought to place SERIOUS defenses and even give so important and developing a place even some good offensive ability as well... It might've made it to the Movie series times... Woulda been interesting to see which side this planet woulda went with in both the CIS/GAR Civil War and the Rebellion Era. Could've become the one place that might've been key to controlling the Outer Rim seeing as in the Civil War an Rebellion an Post Rebellion Eras the Outer Rim is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to tame.
Taris was a world that had a large impact on the Galactic Republic’s history, and no doubt that Darth Malak destruction of it mark a dark day in its history. Taris was supposed to be a beacon of what the Outer Rim could be, but time and time again it is struck with disaster after disaster, and no doubt that the people of the Galaxy remember those glory days of the planet and not it’s sad state it is in.
A beacon of what the Outer Rim could be? The wealthy living in luxury, while almost all non-humans and the poor were forced to live without sunlight, in crippling poverty. Yeah, what a beacon...
@@TheSuperRatt No Beacon exist that doesn’t make a shadow with its light.
R.I.P Taris, what could've been!
@@TheSuperRatt yeah perfect representation of the outer rim tbh
@@TheSuperRatt To make matters worse it is said in documents that Taris was like that even under the Republic rule.
Taris rebuilt by the time of the Clone Wars though some areas were still walled off and infected with rakghouls ; it wasn't untill the time of the Empire that it was brought back into prosperity and was fully populated.
Once the Empire fell it's economy fell into despair and became full of crime, poverty and corruption.
Boba Fett owned a Penthouse in the Upper City.
Can it be said here that Taris is Constantinople of Star Wars? After all, if was sort of the last stronghold in the Outer Rim for the Republic while also used to be such a prosperous planet as well during its heyday.
Talk about the planet Manaan and the Selkath and how their Neutrality position was eventually their downfall particularly when Bacta became the main healing agent over Kolto. 😎👍🏿
I always loved the selkath. Mostly because in Kotor the thing that drives them insane is the shark causing a ringing in their ears that drove them to murder. I have tinnitus real bad and can 100% relate to it driving me to a murderous rampage 😅🤣
The Sith Lords from old were extremely brutal with the Galaxy. The Jedi Order was once again brought down to it's knees at that time. Then you have Emperor Valkorion and his sons singlehandely battling both the Republic/Jedi Order and the Sith Lords of Old while being themselves the Sith.
Yes, it was a savage time in the galaxy
Valkorian's children weren't true Sith.
@@karlrovey they did displayed tendencies to be the Sith. Look at their eyes in the trailer.
@@eddieram435 They were Dark Jedi, not Sith. They used the Darkside, but they didn't follow the Sith code. The Sith are a religious order, not all Darksiders are Sith.
It's shocking that Disney couldn't make an epic savage story like KOTOR/SWTOR. Bioware for the win!!
Was wondering why there's no Geetsly's vid yesterday when I just saw this. Interesting.
Great, another Forcedamned ecumenopolis... and also more KotOR content.
Yeah, we messed up the times lol
I'm surprised he didn't cover the swtor era stuff that happened there
Taris has an interesting and dark history for sure and there's several things I find interesting about it.
First and foremost is how Saul Karath and Malak defending the planet leaving as heroes, only to return years later as conquerors and destroyers.
Next, the Tarisian government had froze themselves in Carbonite to survive the bombardment. (This part wasn't in the video, I don't think, but it's from Swtor.)
Then there's the multiple restoration attempts on Taris. The first attempt occured around 300 years after the planet was destroyed, this project nearly succeeded until the Sith once again invaded the planet and halted the efforts of the Republic. The second occured sometime after the Battle of Yavin and was a success.
Finally, there's the tale of the people who searched for the Promised Land. They were able to find it's location thanks to Revan's help sometime prior to the bombing, and managed to survive the bombardment. Unfortunately, once they finally reached the Promised Land, the first settlement, they discovered it had been rendered useless due to the bombardment and they slowly died off due to the various diseases, with Radiation Sickness being one of the prime causes and it also prevented them from having offspring.
I never understood how the Promised Land could be ruined by the bombardment, since it was an underground settlement.
@@timonsolus Much of that true undercity was probably destroyed even before the entire Taris got urbanized. that city above did build over the underground one after all, so it's not so far-fetched to deduce that the inhabitants eventually moved topside in the first place, dismantling a good part of it as they went, & letting the foundations of whatever was on topside stuck into the underground city, eventually making it technically part of the city topside. the fact was finally forgotten throughout the millennia & with the destruction of the city topside, whatever was connected ended up destroying most of whatever was left.
Malak was most displeased when he learned that you’ve escaped taris alive
Kinda Darth Malak in a nutshell. Destroy an entire ecumenopolis to kill one lass and fail to do so...
THIS LINE rings in my head more often than it should, probably because I save/loaded too often before finally winning the fight. When wearing masks became mandatory in my country, I was reminded of this line everyday. Awwww.
Wait. A Geetsly video on a Saturday instead of a Friday? Okay, who's been tampering with The World Between Worlds?
LOL.
Taris was one of my favorite locations when I played KOTOR. It was the Coruscant of the outer rim. I didn't like how the people were so racist to aliens and how posh and stuck up the higher ups were. But what can you do. It deserved better then what happened to it.
What can you do is to kill them. I didn't play KOTOR but if Taris in Swtor was like coruscant, then it really is better that it was leveled to the ground, Coruscant is a terrible place, no trees absolutley erazed nature what kind of planet is that?
@@bf1513 It's very over grown by SWTOR. Taris, like Coruscant wasn't always a city world. Nature is just reclaiming after 300 years.
I remember going to Taris for the first time in The Old Republic and my reaction was "What the hell happened?". I never played KOTOR and knew about its lore at the time so I was going in blind.
"The Sith hit the fan" I see what you did ;)
I have a shirt with 12 sith lords and it says Sith happens
@@RobbieL1977 very nice, where'd you get it?? I may be interested in buying one
This was awesome why not do Dantooin next if yah havnt already.
Endor was site of THREE historic battles if take in account Legends
What?!
You should do one of these on either Tatooine or the Wookie home world
"Wipe this pathetic planet off the face of the galaxy!!" I fucking love this line and this entire scene. KOTOR was the best Star Wars story aside from the original. I remember being in shock and awe!! when I first saw this cinematic playing on my Xbox 360....
-Long live the Empire!!
As someone who played KOTOR, watching Malak simply glass the planet hit harder than I thought it would. You spend all this time moving through the city and helping all these people (if you play Light Side), only for it all to essentially be erased. Maybe the Undercity tribe managed to survive the bombardment and make it to the Promised Land, at least I hope they did.
That depends on whether you consider Swtor cannon or not, I for one, don't.
I do enjoy swtor story though, just unable to consider it canon to the Kotor stories due to various factors, including story retcons regarding various things.
Nice to know that in KOTOR the lower city's citizens dream of reaching "The Promosed Land" isnt just a fictional goal, and a real location with real technology they can go too. For far too long I thought it was just myth in the game.
Why have i now only discovered this channeI? A subscriber you have found.
I'd like to see something on Voss.
Always liked the visuals of that planet.
Thanks! Taris is one of my favorite planets. I loved learning things i didn't know.
A very detailed yet textbook example of what class division leads to
I've learned so much about star wars through this channel as well as other star wars channels. Thanks for the great content man.
Makes me happy Taris was later rebuilt I got attached to that place fast.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much I used to not be that in the Star wars really like the prequels though but I've been watching your videos and now I'm playing Kotor
3:10 Yep, it’s the Corousant of the Outer Rim
I remember playing on this planet so much in kotor on the og Xbox. I remember getting lost over and over again in the upper city lower city and under city and especially that sewer
9:27 THIS is how they can upgrade Juhani.
You should make an episode of the underworld of Coruscant after the Yuuzhan Vong war and Abeloth
i was hoping if you could (or have) drop deep into star wars legends and talk about zonama sekot one day
I was heartbroken when Taris was destroyed 😭
Would love to see a video on Nar Shaada
When I first played this game and halo I thought dang these graphics are superior to anything then I look at these newer games and think damn we came a long way
So, it doesn't matter who or who you don't save on Taris since everyone eventually dies or becomes a rackghoul if they were in the under city.
So far, for I have a good idea that Taris will recover from it’s high ground destruction.
Which blasters from each eras were the best for there respective roles? Like pistols to snipers
I watch the hell out of these videos and have only seen episode 4
Here's a request for a future video: so many of the planets in the galaxy have monarchical or feudal style of government. Why is that?
All because of ... THOSE DAMN SWOOP GANGS! ;D
Could Generation Tech be based on Taris?
I'm skeptical that the Sith *only* just arrived after the Endar Spire. It honestly feels that they've been there a lot longer, considering how much they've completely shaped society and culture there, and how used to them all the civilians feel. All that in just a few days?
Sweet 👍
I want the stories of every planets record you can find👌
I feel like that orbital bombardment was a good thing.
@geetsly's perhaps a good Idea to make a video about all known planets in star wars
8:08 I see what you did there. 😄😄😄
The kotor story is so good
Damn, how did you guess I just started playing KOTOR and wanted to know about Taris?
My friend,have you been using your Force powers to read my mind, as I've been waiting for this exact explanation for as long as I can remember, I think it's been 18 years now, ever since I first played Kotor...
Please do a video about the importance of the planet Manaan during the KOTOR era.
The best Malak line
what an effed up history!
So that is how Cybertron was made, space M bison street fighter
Do one on the history of ancient tatooine
12:00: ...I hope the remake replaces the fades to black with extra cutscenes, not gonna lie.
yo geetslys you guys should collaborate with 100% Star Wars for a kotor video
Keep up the kotor lore!
In legends Taris was still kicking albeit still hadn't recovered. Boba Fett met some mandos there.
Due to my cultured intellect, this right here 8:48 doesn't look like it'll end well for her in a "certain" sense.
I felt heartbroken back when I first played kotor when it came out I wish I could have saved taris
Now this is what I consider is true canon.
I’d love to have this planet as a map in Batt 2
Deadeye Duncan lives!
Hey Geetsly’s!
well there was that failed attempt to restore taris in swtor, Sareesh might be an interesting character to make a video on as to why she ended up the way she did
what happened to that underground city? did it survive the bombardment? is it still prospering, even up to the time of the clone wars?
The underworld of taris was my favorite part of the game 😎
Tattooing foreshadows the skywalkers
2 suns
Do Manaan next
Still waiting on Old Republic holorecords past 1-12
I feel bad for enjoying the part of KotOR set on Taris, it was largely the aesthetic though.
Say, Geetsly's, can you check out the Guild of Vindicators and the Order of the Terrible Glare, negative Jedi byproducts after the events of the Pius Dea conflicts?
Interesting.
So presumably there was a lot of employment opportunity on Taris? So sounds like it was the place to go if you weren looking for outer rim jobs
Good times
Didn't need to see anything other than that slight glance of that SWTOR loading screen to know what planet this was from the sheer amount of times I'd seen it...bruned into my brain more than...well the game it first appeared in. Feels sacrilege in all honesty to know it from the sorta not really threequel MMO than the original.
I feel bad for taris, and it's people, and the cathar species.
Do one about Serno plz
6:08 is it me or does that symbol look like an Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer
What about the droid attack on the Wookies???
This is Canon for me!
Tatooine also produced Darth krayt
Tell the story of Shili
Heey!
BR heere😎❤️🇧🇷
I LOVE your channel
I always feel bad for what happens to Taris after you leave, especially the droid shop owner.
why do you fee bad for the droid shop owner? she scammed the shit out of you with T3M4
When you mentioned less legitimate business investors, I thought you were already talking about them since Czerka is notoriously corrupt.
