  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
  • A brief history of Exar Kun from his days as a Jedi to his ascension to Dark Lord and final defeat on Yavin 4. Based on the Star Wars Legends, created by George Lucas and Lucasfilm.
    **A quick note on Star Wars canon: This video is based on Star Wars Legends, also known as the old Expanded Universe, which includes most Star War material (movies, books, comics, games) created before the re-canonization of Star Wars under Disney in 2014.
    The new Star Wars canon, therefore, is based on the 7 movies, the Clone Wars and Rebels TV show, and any other new canon books or comics released after April 25th 2014.*

      @@bigenson18 Ehhhh debatable. Why I say this? Because im old enough to see this SAME arguement happen 3 times....And I will give the answer I gave 10 years ago which matches the IRC answers I gave 20. STAR WARS IS MADE FOR MULTIPLE GENERATIONS. There is no FAVORITE BECAUSE FOR EVERY GENERATION ITS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Hell I remember the Arguement of Starwars being a rip of an old space oddesy movie..ANd Guess what? There were more of those fans then so their arguement was the same as yours. Eventually even your arguement will fade and when they release ANOTHER trilogy...Then it will be worst or best.

    Exar Kun is technically canon via a Solo: A Star Wars Story reference book alongside Ulrec Qel-Droma but everything else about them including their history and feats/accomplishments will not be official unless depicted fully in a Disney Star Wars work.

      The only reason why the Sith lost so many wars against the Jedi/Republic is because of infighting. Often times the Sith had the upper hand over the Republic and was on the verge of victory until betrayals and schemes occurred within the Sith ranks, most notably the most powerful members. The Sith fight amongst each other even when fully committed to war against an opposing faction.
      If the dark side didn't call for so much infighting and impatience, the Sith would have won most wars that they ended up losing

      Honestly, I would be down with a House of the Dragon style show about Tales of the Jedi. Multiple time skips leading up to this. Probably do three seasons. One shows the Onderon and Nomi stories, another introduces Exar Kun and ends with the Predator clap, the third chronicles the war itself. Maybe do Redemption afterwards, but I’m fine without it.

    The stories illustrate how a 'Rule of Two' would bring *_stability_* to the 'Sith' way of force usage - not 'peace', but a succession that ensures not just continuity, but steady accumulation of skill and influence.
    The grand plan in a way fulfilling the preferred approach by 'Exar Kun' of playing a long game of endurance - when taking the galactic capital 'Coruscant' by surprise was feasable only without discord...

      Sidious was the most powerful Sith ever, more compatible than anyone in the dark side, being a true psychopath and all.
      Sure, if it were up to a pure Lightsaber duel, it could go either way although Sidious is still better than Exar Kun. Only Yoda was better in lightsaber dueling than Sidious, but Sidious was unmatched in his mastery of the Dark Side. Exar Kun wouldn't stand a chance.
      And yes, I understand that Exar Kun was not a weakling but was a powerhouse in his own right.
      Even Vititate, as OP as he seems, is not as powerful in the Dark Side as Sidious.
      So, let me restate this: Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith who ever lived.
