    in the old game Knights of the Old Republic I believe it said in the description of vibroblades that Sith often preferred the visceral feeling of a blade slicing through flesh as opposed to using a lightsabre, and whenever I played dark-side I usually used vibroblades throughout rather than a lightsabre because of this

    Vader’s Fortress 2, I have an idea: there was a lost tribe of Sith pure-bloods that all used black lightsabers. Maybe you could make a video explaining who that lost tribe were! Like “The lost tribe of Sith who used black lightsabers” or “why this lost tribe of Sith made modern Sith look like pretenders (black lightsabers)” or something.

    Back then loghtsabers also had battery packs and lanyards. So a sith alchemy blade was a lot more practical.

    For anyone curious it wasn't just the sith that held these views, a lot of Jedi did as well. Force imbuing their weapons took a different ritual one that required more of meditation and focus, imbuing the weapons with the energies and powers of the user, however they meant to do so using the light side of the force. It really wasn't popular to use a lightsaber compared to anything else. Such weapons had distinct advantages, just like how the sith weapons could be an extension of power and also enhance force powers, Jedi imbued weapons did the same. We're talking broadswords that could put up a barrier to protect multiple people, staffs that healed the wounds that they inflicted, and much much more. There was even a Jedi in the time of the Republic, just a few years before Anakin Skywalker and all them, and a few years after bane and all them, in between there, the shadow is notable for not using a lightsaber despite everyone else using a lightsaber, they chose the life of a gardener, and they chose to wield a staff, that was little more than a walking stick, with a thick knob, they could defend themselves by clubbing someone over the head with it, but they could also use the staff to enhance their ability to heal people, in fact they were so proficient in force healing that they could cure diseases, and slow the ragkoul infection.

  • @alexhulea2735

    I'm starting to think there was a huge diference between the old Jedaii force-imbued swords and sith alchemically-enhanced swords 😅😅😅
    Also, Sidious was probably bluffing about not needing a lightsaber. With how much dark side corruption he had, he was likely unable to do physical effort for long, thus needing to enhance himself with the force. I suspect he saw diminishing returns with every use. That's why he bluffed he was too powerful to need a lightsaber.

      @alexhulea2735 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@colddaze6680 that's what i mean: he was at least 30 when starting his training with Plagueis, and was way past his 60s when he started The Clone Wars. Jedi of the same age, trained from infancy couldn't keep fighting as long, and we are to believe someone whose body is literally breaking down from dark side abuse can do better? Vitiate, who was worlds stronger than Sidious still needed a lightsaber when fighting The Hero of Tython or Revan. And let's face it, by the time Bane started his Order, the Sith were exponentially weaker than those of Vitiate's time, who in turn were weaker than the true titans of the dark side (Ajunta Pall, Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos).

    Is there a light side version of Sith alchemy?

    • @justinamey7116
      @justinamey7116 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Short answer yes, the Jedi could use a version of alchemy but understand that the Jedi philosophy is very different from a sith. While the sith use their powers to be as offensive an brutal as possible. the Jedi use their agility for knowledge, healing, defense. So you'll probably never see a light side force imbued weapon that shoot laser beam, but you might see a force imbued holocron that only activated to a light sider to given knowledge and wisdom, force imbued healing crystals, instruction or directions, very passive in nature is that for the light side.
      Also the Jel Shay are really the only true light side alchemist.

    @dragonlord498 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    also take into consideration that naga sadow didn't try and overthrow marka ragnos yet he was already of such immense power so shows how powerful marka was. plus his rival also was of comparable power even if lesser in outright power though obviously more sane/foresight/intellect i would say given he for saw what would happen if naga sadow went on his war path
    i personally would go for a sith alchemy sword or similar weapon (glaive, whip sword etc) if i was a sith given they are in many ways superior and in most ages won't out yourself as force user if i was trying to avoid drawing attention though i might try and make it into a hybrid with lightsaber tech somehow as well to get benefits of both
    also the lavaraks were meant to be used ether when their was for sure no allies within the spray area or alongside use of the force to guide the projectiles which i think is fiting for a species with such a strong connection to the force

    I wouldn't mind having a force imbued sword if I were a Jedi because in many ways the force Imbued metal swords are actually superior to the lightsaber at particularly the ancient Sith Tremor sword imbued with the force making it a living weapon and an extension of the user itself , I can't also help but think that such a sword that would bond with its user in such a way would also enhance their meditation amongst other things in many ways the ancient metal Force imbued blades are actually Superior to the lightsaber.

After the settle down on planet Ossus, they cultivated this new code for over 300 years before being found by the fledling Republic.

    Due to the batural behavior of crystals being bound to the light it is clear that the jedi have step further then any sith.
    As to what Kraia said is mere jelousy to this hidden feat. This as what sith always do is just talk smack to then be brought to their knees.
    Therefore the ancient sith would find it difficult to defend themselves.
    Final analysis: The Lightsaber is indeed Superior to any past balde that has been made and indeed the Fall of all Sith.

    *psychotic eye twitch* The ancient Sith did not you metal swords. They used crystal swords. Crystal grown from blood by Sith Alchemy, not unlike the synthetic crystals they would use for lightsabers later on. Before the Disney BS about "bleeding" crystals.
