matthe ai it was a bit more complicated than that. A former dark lord of the sith thought the key to power was learning all aspects of the force but eventually went crazy and thought destroying sith holocrons was the key to power. At least that’s what I heard in another video
"The Sith have a tendency to rise again and again from the ranks of the Jedi order" (Darth Krayt, 137 ABY) I mean, 1st Great Schism, the Legions of Lettow, almost destroyed the Order 2nd Great Schism, Hundred-Year Darkness, led to the birth of the First Sith Empire, to Revan/Malak's Empire, and Vitiate's Reformed Sith Empire. Also led to Onderon's Sith Kings, Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun and so on ... 4th Great Schism, Darth Ruin and the New Sith Wars, led to the Brotherhood of Darkness, then to Darth Bane. The clone Wars-era Jedi ? The Jedi were destroyed by one of their own, and also eventually produced Darth Krayt The new Jedis ? Darth Caedus ... One might easily think that without the Jedi, none of these galactic-level threats would have existed ...
The Sith philosophy sought Freedom, while the jedi strictly enforced rules. And thus the jedi always shunned some of their members, which always resulted in them becoming sith or dark jedi.
Force Alchemy... Hmm... This brings back memories... "In the land of Mordor, at the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Sauron forged, in secret, a Master Ring, to control all others. And into this ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life... One ring to rule them all!"
That could explain Tom’s transformation to Lord Voldemort is all the will of magic. In the Movie his like Darth Sidious then the books is more like Magical Slade from Teen Titans.

A thing to note is that the time when Alchemy was created was when there were no Sith / Dark Jedi or Jedi, there were the Je'daii, the Force users who meditated on the balance on both the Light and Dark, using both sides. And that the division between them occurred not just because of Alchemy, but because many of the dedicated Light Side users began to believe it wrong to use the Dark Side at all, which the Dark Side users were fine with both sides, and the corruption that Alchemy did cause was the final catalyst for the destruction of the Je'daii and the split into Jedi and Dark Jedi. Unless Wookiepedia is very wrong and has been wrong for years now.
@@keithsantana145 They didn't use Sith Alchemy, they used Dark Side Magic (more primal and like what we imagine the arcane arts are than most of the telekinetic powers presented by the Jedi and Sith of most visualized media).

I see a lot of comments regarding the notion that good and evil are subjective, that Force Alchemy used for good reasons can still be called good, etc. Thinking of it as "evil" is a little simplistic, and honestly, unnecessary. Instead, it should be recognized not as evil but as corrupting and corrosive. The video mentions that those who are frequently in contact with objects that are imbued with Force Alchemy are often susceptible to corruption, impaired judgment, increasing anger, etc because it takes Dark Side energy for the Alchemy to take place. It's not an evil ability, just a corrupt one.
Was there by chance, LIGHT SIDE alchemy? You know to make creatures that were capable of healing or Force Swords that didn't make you want to wage an endless war? Seems like something that could have been useful.
There are abilities to imbue items with the Force, for weaponry. But it's usually temporary use or at least neutral by nature. It strengthens them and makes them more durable but nothing to the extent of dark side Sith Alchemy.
The dark side is about strength and domination, if you want to make a weapon then the dark side is what you would use, the light is more about protection and somewhat pacifism imbuing a weapon with the light side is inherently contradictory there were cases of people imbuing things like charms with the light to protect the bearer. The problem is that the jedi largely see the dark side as people controlling the force as compared to them only working as the force wills but one of these has to be wrong if the sith corrupt the force then so do the jedi, they bend reality to their will as much as the sith who would also be set on paths because it is the will of the force. There needed to be a balance instead of their only being dark side artifacts there should have been a balance the jedis unwillingness to cooperate and accept the dark side did nothing but drive those who were already that way inclined fully to the darkside because there had to be a balance.

Alchemy: the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange; the basis of all alchemy. In accordance to this law, there is a taboo among alchemists. Human transmutation is strictly forbidden. For what could equal the value of a human soul?
exactly. there is no equivalent exchange for a human soul except another human soul. no one is willing to pay the price fully. the best you can do is create a malformed chimera or humunculus with the shatterred fragments of a soul
generalnawaki cool comment and usually truthful but I don't trust it when the dark side is involved. The dark side always finds a way to screw something up in some form or fashion.
generalnawaki I truthfully believe that alchemy should not be used until the dark side is either forced out of that galaxy or completely destroyed because it's one of the abilities that's been tainted by the dark side and warped so much that every time it gets used the dark side get's stronger whether the ability is used with the best intentions or for evil. I'm trying my hardest to convince myself that there could be grey Jedi out there but the thing that make's me unsure is the fact that when someone uses one side it weakens the other. It's one of the main reasons that Vader could never heal his lungs for more than a few minutes. He would meditate in his chamber and heal them but would feel the joy of being able to breathe on his own. That true happiness would strengthen that last bit of light left in him and break his concentration and his lungs would fail again. Also because of that small bit of light inside of him he was not able to feed upon the pain and suffering of others. Its the same with his grandson. Kylo ren who actually weakened himself when he killed his father because of the light within him. The two sides just don't mix. Or mabye I just don't understand it. It would be interesting to see and may even come with new abilities.
can the dark side ever truly be banished? think of all the human who are just barely force sensitive and dont know how to control their anger or hate. the dark side will never truly be gone until all sentient life is gone.
I was actually taken a little aback seeing that the initial part was news to me. I honestly, from what I read, always believed that it had been the pure Sith to create Force Alchemy, and that it had been the exiled Jedi that had turned it into an instrument of the Dark Side. Also the Jedi Civil War... I was under the impression that it had been caused by the Jedi youngest members, desiring to be taught faster and to have more knowledge available to them. Seeing that there was knowledge inside the Order that could only be viewed only once one achieved the rank of Master. And sometimes even newly appointed masters weren't given access to that knowledge. I actually found this video to be interesting but kinda contradicting. Mainly because of the Book Of The Jedi. When we reach the part about the levels of channeling and using the Force, we see that the Jedi of even Yoda's time, had a three degree, level of mastery and use of the Force. Those degrees being: Sense, Control and Alter. In this order. Through Sense a potential Jedi, learned to feel and control the Force inside of oneself. Through Control a potential Jedi, learned to feel and control the Force outside of oneself. And then there was Alter. And although specified in the Book Of The Jedi, truth was that few were the cases of Jedi that actually had a deep knowledge and refined usage of it. Alter was referred to as the ability of a Jedi to use the Force to alter things. Regardless of what was being altered. In many ways the way it's usage was described, made it seem to be something more easy to do than Sith Alchemy. For it centered around one purpose. To use intense mental focus to visualize and then manifest what was being visualized. And of course it could basically be used, to give in theory, almost a unlimited amount of abilities. That ranged mostly between shaping the Force into many forms or use the Force to imbue objects (like Holocrons) with certain properties.
Zachary Rivera Well, as said in the video alchemy is a process to force the force [uhm... ^^] into an object against its will. Doesn't sound very light-side-y to me at all...
You can't really call it a grey ability when it specifically says that the ritual has always been used with massive amounts of dark side energy. Even if used with good intentions dark side energy warps the physical and mental state of things.
Great video!! Just want to point one thing out, the alchemy was created long before the Jedi and sith. The ancient Je'daii hsd created it, but many were against it. It (Je'daii alchemy of the flesh) could be used to do anything from healing deadly wounds to completely shielding a being from the Force.
The coolest form of Force Alchemy was the creation of Maul's legs by the Night Sisters. I think the idea of having a prosthetic limb that was imbued with force power to be a neat concept.
Actually the most powerful alchemy ever used was what was used to imbue a pen used to sign the legal documents by Disney that stole the entire Star Wars universe and then they shit on it.
the force is not good or evil. the force is a weapon, whoever wields it may use it as they see fit. i disagree with the ancient jedi, alchemy is a tool to strengthen an individual to make them complete. forget the jedi and the sith, to truly understand the force, one must understand both the light and the dark.
keelah Se'lai the ancient Jedi, who were called jee'dai or something used both light and dark abilities, as long as they were not corrupted by the use of the dark abilities, but they also did not view light side only as good, they sought balance between the two
It's not Light and Dark, it's one thing. The most retarded and simpliest way to describe Sith and Jedi is: The green dudes are controlled by the force, the red dudes control the force as their slave.
Everyone talks about how strong the sand, the senate, and high ground are, but they forget about the strongest of them all... UNLIMITED.. POWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, quick question. So we all know tulak hord was powerful, but did he have a lightsaber or a "force sword." I seem to recall that darth marr recovered hords lightsaber (but I may be wrong) but am I correct that he died before the time of lightsabers? He seem too ancient for that weapon
wait, so is mother talzin using a variant of sith alchemy when she brings back the dead in the clone wars, she's always been one of those characters I've always found interesting but have never really read into her.
Well this will spawn to good question from for a new videos If Sidious was so good with Sith Alchemy why didn't he just make an army of Zombie like warriors then?
Well, to play the devil's advocate: it wouldn't have been enough. He needed to get rid of the Jedi. To do that, he needed to wear their numbers down and wipe them out at the right moment. If he just used a zombie army, it would have never been enough against the Jedi and the Republic. Had he used such Force constructs, he would have inevitably been discovered and killed by the Jedi (before he was powerful enough to brand their few remaining members enemies of the state).
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Force alchemy was something discovered during experimentation with the force. Just as fire was discovered when experimenting with sticks. Force alchemy was banned because it went against Jedi philosophy. Its just another skill to be utilized, just like fire, or weapons. It was foolish of the Jedi to dismiss it, if they focus enough they could develop a way to make light side force constructs. Power it with positive emotion. Emotion and intent drive the force.
Excellent video!!! :D I absolutely LOVE this Sith Alchemy concept, and the various capabilities of it explored in this video - originally imbuing inanimate objects with power by pouring the Dark Side into them, causing them to physically change, become invulnerable and gain Force abilities; these imbued objects becoming sentient but aligned only with the Dark Side of the Force; Force Alchemy's role in the Dark Jedi's fall, they joining with the Sith after their banishment to perfect it; the Sith using it to physically alter living creatures into monstrous mutations at their command, and even alter sapient beings into bloodthirsty monsters; the Sith King using it to reanimate the dead as powerful tools; and lastly Palpatine using it to hide his disfigured appearance before 'Revenge of the Sith.' XD I also love the historical facts like: the Force Alchemy's role in the Dark Jedi's fall; they joining the Sith after their banishment, perfecting it; the one Sith Lord who became proficient with it and demanded three sacrifices; Palpatine imbuing the Shadow fighters that had organic brains with Sith Alchemy, they being terrifyingly invincible; and Palpatine writing a book on the discoveries of Sith Alchemy. XD I love the last one. X) I also love the irony in Sith Alchemy's Jedi origins, how much it brings out the dark roots under the Jedi's good exterior that you've covered in previous videos and called interesting; and how it and Juyo support the fallen-angel moral that good professor Van Helsing points out in Bram Stoker's 'Dracula:' that the earliest dark things have their roots in the light, falling from it. Overall, really excellent video that's made me really interested in this concept!! XD
I doubt telekenesis would be considered particularly "natural" or force lightning "unnatural". Not only that, but twisting something to suit a need also describes pretty much every single thing ever made by anyone ever, including any force ability. These aren't really unnatural either. If it exists, it is a part of nature, regardless of whether it's manufactured or not. This seems like a pretty facile account of how the force works. I would say light and dark side are closer to corruption/destruction versus tranquility/order, or something along those lines. Maybe even something more basic than that, change versus stasis for example.
When talking about the early Jedi/Je'daii can we not use the proper terms of Ashla and Bogon when talking about how the differing viewpoints existed at that time? Given we went from them using both sides to the split that caused one side to follow each path surely it's important enough to use the exact terms?
This was awesome information. Thank you. Your videos are very enjoyable and enrich the story line so ever more. Once again, thank you for your efforts.
What if Galen Marek killed Vader and followed Darth Sidious loyally? How powerful do you think he'd become, and how would it change the story of Star Wars in the future?
kenshin491 Well in the game dark side edition in the first one he beats Luke in a lightsaber duel, and In the second game as a clone of himself, he kills Han and a Jedi Leia and blocks a Atst if that's what it's called while force gripping Chewbacca into a laser blast killing him, with a laser blast to the chest, so yes he would be very powerful possibly more powerful than the chosen one. He defeated the original machine Darth Vader and even Luke altogether as a apprentice not taught by Yoda yet with Anakin's lightsaber on Hoth, but his power would have been limited by the might of Darth Sidious, after killing Darth Vader in the first game while trying to kill the Emperor, he got hit by his own ship. He even managed to pull the Millennium Falcon back while flying with the force, which was something Darth Vader did not do in a New Hope when he killed Obi wan.
Sorry I should have been more specific. In the game (if memory serves right anyway) Galen fights Darth Sidious and then Galen gets modified in some way. I always got the impression that whatever modifications done to Galen forced him to be loyal but not a true apprentice (snicker). Similar to how Sidious used Maul. Dark side ending: Galen is commanded to find and turn Luke. If Galen was Sidious's true apprentice why not just kill Luke? My bad I could have worded my first question better.
Brad gamer Blogger Tuber Literally! The Chosen one could have been the strongest Jedi if he didn't fall for the dark side. He was powerful in his Cyborg form but/was limited and couldn't get to his full potential because of his master limiting him, fearing Anakin would someday surpass him.
This would suggest that Sith alchemy was used in the creation of Vader 's armour also it would suggest his armour was mildly sentient and instead of dying from lightning that Vader 's armour turned on him for turning to the light , because Vader already showed that he can deflect blasters lightning that was only strong enough to torture would be much weaker compared to a concentrated laser.
This video really makes me wonder what sort of Jedi order we would have seen if the schism didn't happen and instead they integrated teachings of the dark side into the order. Would they have been able to teach ways to handle the dark side and alchemy in moderation or would it have simply lead to the outright corruption of the Jedi order?
Great video. I noticed the Jedi usually start a technique or move and then ban it. Just like they did with that Forbidden light saber move Obi Wan uses. The one he used against Anakin...
I like legends continuity but if Vaders suit was altered with Sith alchemy to serve the dark side, how could Vader pick up and kill Palpatine with his cybernetic limbs, isn't that impossible if the suit only serves the dark side?
With great rage and desire to kill, you know the dark side main principles. Palpatine was not someone who ruled over all the dark side force, he was the greatest user in the explored galaxy but not it's one true master or anything.
I'd love it if you'd talk a bit about the republic military forces prior to the creation of the Clone army. Were they just private, planetary security forces, or was there a larger, more organized military?
Would it be possible to bring some back out the void? for example Banes sole is lost in the void so would it be possible to bring him back because technically he isn't truly dead
Where does the idea that Sidious used Alchemy to disguise himself come from? I'm not very well read in all things Star Wars, but I clearly remember reading that Palpatine's appearance only changed because Windu's lightsaber reflected the heat from his lightning back at him. Even though he'd been using the Dark Side for years, it didn't change him physically at all. Rather, Palpatine always considered his tame appearance as a sort of mask, or weapon.
I really wish we are able to see more of this power used by Sidious in Rebels (depending on how Season 4 will end of course). I also wish they could do some live action with this. It would look awesome!
Do you have any thoughts about the relationship between Force Alchemy and the planet Dathomir? It's implied in several places in the Clone Wars that the Nightsisters *gain their power* through something like it, and rely on the planet's connection to the dark side...
Which part of legends is this from? I've not heard of it before. Also, was any research done into what a light side based use of this power could do? Healing? Empowerment? Purification? That actually sounds like how white sabers are supposed to be made.
An interesting example of Sith Alchemy actually shows up in the first season of Rebels, when Ezra accidentally uses it to create a dark side creature to attack the Grand Inquisitor
It would be so cool If you could make a video about the most dangerous or most powerful dark side abilities. (like force repulse, force storm, force drain, force insanity, thought bomb etc..) please do it cause it would be awesome learning about all this cool powers.🙂
Snoke's Ring or Vader's mask has Vader's spirit in it. It is theorized that Ajunta Paul's sword corrupted Revan and made him unable to find peace. Maybe Vader is Ajunta Paul and Revan was Kylo.
Some of the best known users of the Sith Alchemy are the Nightsisters of Dathomir. They literally created zombies and used their "magiks" to create weapons that could be used against light sabers
if you can use alchemy on objects and it is usually being done through the dark side of the force, could the same be done but through the light side of the force
Actually used this ability in my Episode 0 fan fiction. Essentially though I found it better that the Precursor to the Sith was a better fit for displaying this as the character who utilizes this has had no real restraint in their exploration of the Force and they are much much more potent in force manipulation. Though in my interpretation, this ability takes a great strain on any practical user unless they possess a very very potent connection to the Force or have specifically studied and specialized in this kind of usage. The characters in my two part Ep.0 are also like Demi-Gods compared to the Jedi and Sith we see in the cannon films. Not so much that they can do anything they want but rather the potential they both wield is near immeasurable.

Alchemy: the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange; the basis of all alchemy. In accordance to this law, there is a taboo among alchemists. Human transmutation is strictly forbidden. For what could equal the value of a human soul?
You can get high from poop so its invalid. especially when used in Alchemy. xD
exactly. there is no equivalent exchange for a human soul except another human soul. no one is willing to pay the price fully. the best you can do is create a malformed chimera or humunculus with the shatterred fragments of a soul
THIS METHOD OF FORCE USING HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS
Anime is gay
The dark side is a pathway to many abilities some would consider... FRICKEN AWESOME!
Stupendous Wave Evil is a point of view. Sith Alchemy isn't evil it's the intent of the user that makes it good or evil.
Jack Boy but you have to be evil to use it
it's pretty evil to use it on something living though, it alters its appearance and makes it a slave to do their bidding
Jack Boy
a certain point of view
ayyyyyyy
ill leave now
Jack Boy It is from my point of view
for example you can make your dog stronger and leave him be because he is your friend. You think thats is evil?
they need to make a movie bassed on the jedi when they used regular swords and then based off this alchemy stuff. that would be an amazing movie.
biopilot 17 ui
I once heard a jedi that strengthened a staff and fought with it. The staff could block lightsabers. Is that sith/force alchemy?
This was cool to have some more backstory. The use of this in Into the Void was pretty cool.
Cool
love your videos I have learnt loads from your videos and your one of the best star wars youtubers
I'd love the High Ground potion if I'm in the middle of a brawling section. It would without a doubt make me victorious.
👍👑I'd rather raise my one handed skill instead of alchemy
I am groot
This was one of your better videos The Stupendous Wave, well done!
evil lay not in what you use, but in how you use it. in darkness light, in light shadows
agreed force alchemy is like a hybrid of science and the use fo the force nether on its own nor is the combination of the 2
generalnawaki cool comment and usually truthful but I don't trust it when the dark side is involved. The dark side always finds a way to screw something up in some form or fashion.
agreed. which is why i wouldnt trust a sith to use it. a grey jedi maybe but a pure sith hell no
generalnawaki I truthfully believe that alchemy should not be used until the dark side is either forced out of that galaxy or completely destroyed because it's one of the abilities that's been tainted by the dark side and warped so much that every time it gets used the dark side get's stronger whether the ability is used with the best intentions or for evil. I'm trying my hardest to convince myself that there could be grey Jedi out there but the thing that make's me unsure is the fact that when someone uses one side it weakens the other. It's one of the main reasons that Vader could never heal his lungs for more than a few minutes. He would meditate in his chamber and heal them but would feel the joy of being able to breathe on his own. That true happiness would strengthen that last bit of light left in him and break his concentration and his lungs would fail again. Also because of that small bit of light inside of him he was not able to feed upon the pain and suffering of others. Its the same with his grandson. Kylo ren who actually weakened himself when he killed his father because of the light within him. The two sides just don't mix. Or mabye I just don't understand it. It would be interesting to see and may even come with new abilities.
can the dark side ever truly be banished? think of all the human who are just barely force sensitive and dont know how to control their anger or hate. the dark side will never truly be gone until all sentient life is gone.
I was actually taken a little aback seeing that the initial part was news to me. I honestly, from what I read, always believed that it had been the pure Sith to create Force Alchemy, and that it had been the exiled Jedi that had turned it into an instrument of the Dark Side.
Also the Jedi Civil War... I was under the impression that it had been caused by the Jedi youngest members, desiring to be taught faster and to have more knowledge available to them. Seeing that there was knowledge inside the Order that could only be viewed only once one achieved the rank of Master. And sometimes even newly appointed masters weren't given access to that knowledge.
I actually found this video to be interesting but kinda contradicting. Mainly because of the Book Of The Jedi. When we reach the part about the levels of channeling and using the Force, we see that the Jedi of even Yoda's time, had a three degree, level of mastery and use of the Force.
Those degrees being: Sense, Control and Alter. In this order.
Through Sense a potential Jedi, learned to feel and control the Force inside of oneself.
Through Control a potential Jedi, learned to feel and control the Force outside of oneself.
And then there was Alter. And although specified in the Book Of The Jedi, truth was that few were the cases of Jedi that actually had a deep knowledge and refined usage of it. Alter was referred to as the ability of a Jedi to use the Force to alter things. Regardless of what was being altered. In many ways the way it's usage was described, made it seem to be something more easy to do than Sith Alchemy.
For it centered around one purpose. To use intense mental focus to visualize and then manifest what was being visualized. And of course it could basically be used, to give in theory, almost a unlimited amount of abilities. That ranged mostly between shaping the Force into many forms or use the Force to imbue objects (like Holocrons) with certain properties.
Could you just use alchemy but use the pure light side of the force instead of the dark side of the force
Zachary Rivera probably, but I imagine it'd be insanely harder than just using the dark side
No alchemy is purely a dark side power
Zachary Rivera
Well, as said in the video alchemy is a process to force the force [uhm... ^^] into an object against its will. Doesn't sound very light-side-y to me at all...
i don't think force alchemy falls into ether dark or light categories of abilities i would say its more accurately a grey or neutral power
You can't really call it a grey ability when it specifically says that the ritual has always been used with massive amounts of dark side energy. Even if used with good intentions dark side energy warps the physical and mental state of things.
Great video!! Just want to point one thing out, the alchemy was created long before the Jedi and sith. The ancient Je'daii hsd created it, but many were against it. It (Je'daii alchemy of the flesh) could be used to do anything from healing deadly wounds to completely shielding a being from the Force.
love to see a video on what if anakin never loved padme
He would hate Padme and love sand
And he would have the high ground
Simple he would have never turned... Darth Vader Who?
idk why, but I'm have had a big star wars interest lately. Love your videos. They are very interesting.
can you do a how was Darth sidous trained
Read the book Plageius. One of the best SW books too!
The coolest form of Force Alchemy was the creation of Maul's legs by the Night Sisters. I think the idea of having a prosthetic limb that was imbued with force power to be a neat concept.
Actually the most powerful alchemy ever used was what was used to imbue a pen used to sign the legal documents by Disney that stole the entire Star Wars universe and then they shit on it.
I thought it was force fart?
Imo, Disney have made better Star Wars movies this far...
SamusLovesMilk Lolwut, they're literally ripping off the original trilogy and introducing some retarded concepts that make no fucking sense.
Not that EU was much better, for the most part it was crap too, but at least _some_ stories were good and the ideas original.
Nice to a have a full explanation into the great schism and what was at the core of what split the early Jedi order.
What if Anakin had a twin?
Fanfiction.Net
Indecisive He would've without a doubt make out with them. Runs in the family.
Oh fuck off.
Anakin would kill his twin for liking sand
Anakin-and-again
The Stupendous Wave has the high Ground! No other SW Channel dare challenge his might & knowledge of the force!
the force is not good or evil. the force is a weapon, whoever wields it may use it as they see fit. i disagree with the ancient jedi, alchemy is a tool to strengthen an individual to make them complete. forget the jedi and the sith, to truly understand the force, one must understand both the light and the dark.
keelah Se'lai the ancient Jedi, who were called jee'dai or something used both light and dark abilities, as long as they were not corrupted by the use of the dark abilities, but they also did not view light side only as good, they sought balance between the two
Yeah and be a Gray Jedi.
Yeah 👍🏼
It's not Light and Dark, it's one thing. The most retarded and simpliest way to describe Sith and Jedi is:
The green dudes are controlled by the force, the red dudes control the force as their slave.
keelah Se'lai you sound like a sith
PLEASE do more on the Tales of Jedi stories. I would love to know more about Ulic Qeldroma, Nomi Sunrider, Exar Kun......
Ancient Jedi/Old Republic Jedi > Sith > Prequel Jedi Order
The Professor All orders that you have mentioned < Darth Jar Jar < Evan McGregor/Obi Wan Kenobi
The Professor if I'm not mistaken there was also the je'daii/ ancient Jedi that came before the old republic Jedi, but I could be wrong.
Don't forget all these orders and force powers < The High Ground
Who is the old dude with the yellow lightsaber at 2:31? I remember reading s book or something with that picture as a kid
Everyone talks about how strong the sand, the senate, and high ground are, but they forget about the strongest of them all...
UNLIMITED.. POWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spencer Polivka what about Vader riding his tie fighter for UNLIMTED HIGH GROUND!!!!
ok, quick question. So we all know tulak hord was powerful, but did he have a lightsaber or a "force sword." I seem to recall that darth marr recovered hords lightsaber (but I may be wrong) but am I correct that he died before the time of lightsabers? He seem too ancient for that weapon
I wonder if a Jedi could use the force alchemy to undo what the Sith had done to the creatures and other beings?
wait, so is mother talzin using a variant of sith alchemy when she brings back the dead in the clone wars, she's always been one of those characters I've always found interesting but have never really read into her.
Well this will spawn to good question from for a new videos If Sidious was so good with Sith Alchemy why didn't he just make an army of Zombie like warriors then?
Eric Barnes probably because plot
Well, to play the devil's advocate: it wouldn't have been enough. He needed to get rid of the Jedi. To do that, he needed to wear their numbers down and wipe them out at the right moment. If he just used a zombie army, it would have never been enough against the Jedi and the Republic.
Had he used such Force constructs, he would have inevitably been discovered and killed by the Jedi (before he was powerful enough to brand their few remaining members enemies of the state).
Standing on a hill. Once Jedi achieve that, the fight is over because they have The High Ground.
holy crap literally force magic formed of evil intent.
Thank you for making this video I’ve always wanted to learn more about the sith
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Force alchemy was something discovered during experimentation with the force. Just as fire was discovered when experimenting with sticks. Force alchemy was banned because it went against Jedi philosophy. Its just another skill to be utilized, just like fire, or weapons. It was foolish of the Jedi to dismiss it, if they focus enough they could develop a way to make light side force constructs. Power it with positive emotion. Emotion and intent drive the force.
Anime Popcorn that's the whole point of the jedi, "the will of the force" not the will of the artifact, even if the force created the artifact
Excellent video!!! :D
I absolutely LOVE this Sith Alchemy concept, and the various capabilities of it explored in this video - originally imbuing inanimate objects with power by pouring the Dark Side into them, causing them to physically change, become invulnerable and gain Force abilities; these imbued objects becoming sentient but aligned only with the Dark Side of the Force; Force Alchemy's role in the Dark Jedi's fall, they joining with the Sith after their banishment to perfect it; the Sith using it to physically alter living creatures into monstrous mutations at their command, and even alter sapient beings into bloodthirsty monsters; the Sith King using it to reanimate the dead as powerful tools; and lastly Palpatine using it to hide his disfigured appearance before 'Revenge of the Sith.' XD I also love the historical facts like: the Force Alchemy's role in the Dark Jedi's fall; they joining the Sith after their banishment, perfecting it; the one Sith Lord who became proficient with it and demanded three sacrifices; Palpatine imbuing the Shadow fighters that had organic brains with Sith Alchemy, they being terrifyingly invincible; and Palpatine writing a book on the discoveries of Sith Alchemy. XD I love the last one. X)
I also love the irony in Sith Alchemy's Jedi origins, how much it brings out the dark roots under the Jedi's good exterior that you've covered in previous videos and called interesting; and how it and Juyo support the fallen-angel moral that good professor Van Helsing points out in Bram Stoker's 'Dracula:' that the earliest dark things have their roots in the light, falling from it.
Overall, really excellent video that's made me really interested in this concept!! XD
So couldn't you use alchemy by imbuing things with the light side?
No, because the light is the path of nature. Alchemy - at its core - is the twisting of the natural order.
Not really. Things mutate and evolve all the time, you just simply make them do it faster with alchemy
plus isn't healing people with the force essentially also doing the same thing its tampering with a living being
That would be more akin to restoring someone to how they're supposed to be.
I doubt telekenesis would be considered particularly "natural" or force lightning "unnatural". Not only that, but twisting something to suit a need also describes pretty much every single thing ever made by anyone ever, including any force ability. These aren't really unnatural either. If it exists, it is a part of nature, regardless of whether it's manufactured or not.
This seems like a pretty facile account of how the force works. I would say light and dark side are closer to corruption/destruction versus tranquility/order, or something along those lines. Maybe even something more basic than that, change versus stasis for example.
When talking about the early Jedi/Je'daii can we not use the proper terms of Ashla and Bogon when talking about how the differing viewpoints existed at that time? Given we went from them using both sides to the split that caused one side to follow each path surely it's important enough to use the exact terms?
The jedi could use force enchanting.
This was awesome information. Thank you. Your videos are very enjoyable and enrich the story line so ever more. Once again, thank you for your efforts.
What if Galen Marek killed Vader and followed Darth Sidious loyally? How powerful do you think he'd become, and how would it change the story of Star Wars in the future?
kenshin491 Well in the game dark side edition in the first one he beats Luke in a lightsaber duel, and In the second game as a clone of himself, he kills Han and a Jedi Leia and blocks a Atst if that's what it's called while force gripping Chewbacca into a laser blast killing him, with a laser blast to the chest, so yes he would be very powerful possibly more powerful than the chosen one. He defeated the original machine Darth Vader and even Luke altogether as a apprentice not taught by Yoda yet with Anakin's lightsaber on Hoth, but his power would have been limited by the might of Darth Sidious, after killing Darth Vader in the first game while trying to kill the Emperor, he got hit by his own ship. He even managed to pull the Millennium Falcon back while flying with the force, which was something Darth Vader did not do in a New Hope when he killed Obi wan.
Watch Dark Side ending it isn't hard
Sorry I should have been more specific. In the game (if memory serves right anyway) Galen fights Darth Sidious and then Galen gets modified in some way. I always got the impression that whatever modifications done to Galen forced him to be loyal but not a true apprentice (snicker). Similar to how Sidious used Maul. Dark side ending: Galen is commanded to find and turn Luke. If Galen was Sidious's true apprentice why not just kill Luke? My bad I could have worded my first question better.
Brad gamer Blogger Tuber Literally! The Chosen one could have been the strongest Jedi if he didn't fall for the dark side. He was powerful in his Cyborg form but/was limited and couldn't get to his full potential because of his master limiting him, fearing Anakin would someday surpass him.
This would suggest that Sith alchemy was used in the creation of Vader 's armour also it would suggest his armour was mildly sentient and instead of dying from lightning that Vader 's armour turned on him for turning to the light , because Vader already showed that he can deflect blasters lightning that was only strong enough to torture would be much weaker compared to a concentrated laser.
all things has light and dark i will say i am not a product go my circumstances . i am a product of my decision yes
Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, thanks man
This video really makes me wonder what sort of Jedi order we would have seen if the schism didn't happen and instead they integrated teachings of the dark side into the order. Would they have been able to teach ways to handle the dark side and alchemy in moderation or would it have simply lead to the outright corruption of the Jedi order?
It would be a a grey jedi order
Great video. I noticed the Jedi usually start a technique or move and then ban it. Just like they did with that Forbidden light saber move Obi Wan uses. The one he used against Anakin...
#UnlimitedPower
0:57 Awesomest Star Wars image ever. It's like a fusion between Vader and Doku (from Ninja Gaiden, not Dooku).
I like legends continuity but if Vaders suit was altered with Sith alchemy to serve the dark side, how could Vader pick up and kill Palpatine with his cybernetic limbs, isn't that impossible if the suit only serves the dark side?
Who says the dark side's intentions matched Palpatine's
The Student kills the Master
With great rage and desire to kill, you know the dark side main principles. Palpatine was not someone who ruled over all the dark side force, he was the greatest user in the explored galaxy but not it's one true master or anything.
True, his master was much better at everything but was killed in his sleep. Palpatine is a ratty dude.
would you say that alchemy is similar in some small way to the process of imprinting on a kyber crystal?
What if Luke and Leia had a kid ?
rustdawg666 down sandrome
It would have two heads and they would both hate sand.
+Rob Okray This is the best comment on TH-cam. I want to thank you for letting me be part of your journey towards awesomeness.
rustdawg666 they would live in Tennessee because incest. Seriously they are twins!!!!
It's not incest. It's twincest.
No, Sidious' face was altered by the force lightning in episode three. It was confirmed by Lucasfilm and Disney
Place is it legends or canon at the beginning of video. Like if u agree
Or fanfic...
This is obviously legends
I'd love it if you'd talk a bit about the republic military forces prior to the creation of the Clone army. Were they just private, planetary security forces, or was there a larger, more organized military?
I hate Legends lore. It got really weird at times.
Milton Cabrera same
It'd be great to see a video on what would happen if Anakin's connection to the force was severed after the battle on Mustafar.
Really cool video dude! Keep it up!!
I love your videos man. Been following your fo quite sometime keep it up bruh
Would it be possible to bring some back out the void? for example Banes sole is lost in the void so would it be possible to bring him back because technically he isn't truly dead
Where does the idea that Sidious used Alchemy to disguise himself come from?
I'm not very well read in all things Star Wars, but I clearly remember reading that Palpatine's appearance only changed because Windu's lightsaber reflected the heat from his lightning back at him. Even though he'd been using the Dark Side for years, it didn't change him physically at all. Rather, Palpatine always considered his tame appearance as a sort of mask, or weapon.
can you do a one on the great hyperspace war explaining why it happened what it was about and the jedi/sith directly involved in it
I really wish we are able to see more of this power used by Sidious in Rebels (depending on how Season 4 will end of course).
I also wish they could do some live action with this. It would look awesome!
Do you have any thoughts about the relationship between Force Alchemy and the planet Dathomir? It's implied in several places in the Clone Wars that the Nightsisters *gain their power* through something like it, and rely on the planet's connection to the dark side...
The thing about the force is that it has a will and a plan, you can either follow or fight it but it is always there.
Which part of legends is this from? I've not heard of it before. Also, was any research done into what a light side based use of this power could do? Healing? Empowerment? Purification? That actually sounds like how white sabers are supposed to be made.
this is one of my favourite videos of yours
I would love to see a video highlighting the different species in the Starwars universe
An interesting example of Sith Alchemy actually shows up in the first season of Rebels, when Ezra accidentally uses it to create a dark side creature to attack the Grand Inquisitor
It would be so cool If you could make a video about the most dangerous or most powerful dark side abilities. (like force repulse, force storm, force drain, force insanity, thought bomb etc..)
please do it cause it would be awesome learning about all this cool powers.🙂
Snoke's Ring or Vader's mask has Vader's spirit in it. It is theorized that Ajunta Paul's sword corrupted Revan and made him unable to find peace. Maybe Vader is Ajunta Paul and Revan was Kylo.
a show or movie about the forced before lightsabers with swords would be amazing
I didn't know about the Alchemy side of the Force. Thanks for the knowledge.
They should seriously make a movie about the jedi using magic swords, and fighting eachother over the beginning of the sith.
Some of the best known users of the Sith Alchemy are the Nightsisters of Dathomir. They literally created zombies and used their "magiks" to create weapons that could be used against light sabers
if you can use alchemy on objects and it is usually being done through the dark side of the force, could the same be done but through the light side of the force
you said that they poured the dark side of the force into objects. do we know if they ever tried to pour the light side into a object?
Amazing video friend
Actually used this ability in my Episode 0 fan fiction.
Essentially though I found it better that the Precursor to the Sith was a better fit for displaying this as the character who utilizes this has had no real restraint in their exploration of the Force and they are much much more potent in force manipulation.
Though in my interpretation, this ability takes a great strain on any practical user unless they possess a very very potent connection to the Force or have specifically studied and specialized in this kind of usage.
The characters in my two part Ep.0 are also like Demi-Gods compared to the Jedi and Sith we see in the cannon films.
Not so much that they can do anything they want but rather the potential they both wield is near immeasurable.
