  1. I remember reading one of the Legacy of the Force books a few years ago and remember something very telling. When Luke confronted the Mon Cal admiral who had put his nephew, and new Sith Lord, Darth Caedus into the role of head of state. She said something about not understanding how a Jedi could do the things that Caedus had done, and Luke informed her that his nephew was a Sith and not a Jedi. The admiral responded with: What is a Sith? It had only been thirty-five to forty years since the fall of Vader at that point, and it was shocking that people could even forget the Sith, but then again, the Sith had been gone for a thousand years before that, and any dark side wielder would normally just be called a Dark Jedi, so it is probably not surprising that people might not know the difference between the two orders.

  2. A Wiseman once said:

    “You must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you. If one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force”

  3. One thing that I've always seen fairly odd is how Sidious didn't embrace himself being Sith when he told Anakin about it.
    I mean you can't by republic law attack someone for their beliefs, especially the supreme chancellor and he could have played the same end goal with that strategy since no one outside the Jedi knew what Sith is. Jedi were seen as a religious group, so my assumption is that same applies to Sith as well, so the self-defence against the Jedi consulate and Order 66 were 100% justified without hiding his identity.

  4. Your content is quite good, but you might benefit from a beta reader. You repeat yourself more often than is necessary and sometimes use the wrong words. To “oust”, for example, means “to depose”, not “to expose”.

  6. I get that people in the verse didn't necessarily get the distinction between Jedi and Sith; tithe common soul, especially humans who lacked other racial Force traditions, they were all "Jedi", and equally dangerous. It's sort of like in Warhammer 40k, where humans don't know the difference between Craftworld, Exodite, Harlequin and Dark Eldar; they are all "Eldar", and equally dangerous. People in the X-Men region of Marvel didn't care what your "mutant power" was; how great or useless it was. If you had one, you were a mutant (read: "bad"). I do sometimes wonder though, then, why it was okay for Vader to be so open, but then he wanted people to be scared of Vader.

  7. The Senators, military commanders and system governments who had supported him before, during and after the Clone Wars would have been horrified to learn that he might have been using the Force to read, and perhaps influence, their minds all those years. In retrospect, if his great popularity could be reattributed to Force-based mental powers rather than simple political acumen then there would have been a sense that Palpatine had tricked them into removing the Jedi so that he could use his own Force powers more freely. In short, he would be seen as a "witch" who started a witch hunt just to eliminate his own rivals, not to protect the galaxy.

  8. I don’t know if I missed a video about it or not, but I’ve always wondered why Sidious kept the Senate in existence , even after creating the empire , for like 10–15 years ?

  9. How could the citizens of the Empire not figure it out? A lot of people knew who Darth Vader was and had some idea of his Force abilities. If Palpatine wasn't a Sith, shouldn't Vader have easily overthrown him? A frail old man would be no match for Vader…unless he possessed greater Force powers.

  10. One shows a mace or a sword when engaged in combat as they are an obvious sign of intent, yet never to reveal the dagger concealed within the belt. Sidious was a dagger of poison, while he wielded the most menacing of blades in the end.

  11. All villains (well, the intelligent ones) know the machinations they set into motion can rebound to affect them. Discretion is the wiser path, to keep in play all one's options.
    Some are narcissists or megaloma- niacs (or simply, self-centred fools), seeking to satisfy whatever perversity (for the lack of a better word) distract them from their objective. Tom Riddle (Ralph Fiennes, et al) is an example of this latter.

  12. Bro you're my favorite star wars lore exploration channel but I cant help but notice you don't have a single video regarding mandalorian history and the mandalorian wars, maybe you could rectify that note? And if you need any lore details I'd be more than happy to assist you

  13. These videos are interesting and all, but this dude seriously repeats himself about 3-5 times in every video. So basically it's about a 2 minute video repeated several times and then followed by a solid minute of merch advertising.

  15. The galaxy at large would likely not know of the sith but it was still extremely foolish and the sith would be found out if just one archaeologist who knew of sith artifacts and the history of the sith told the jedi order particularly before episode 1 time period . The jedi would have time to prepare and initiate the Knightfall protocol, for anyone who doesn't know what this protocol is , I will explain it is the council's emergency initiation for ensuring the jedi order lives on for generations to come, mace and the other council members would initiate this on learning of the sith's return . The jedi would scatter relocating to the unknown regions to world's like ossus and Acht To , ensuring if the jedi was hunted they could return to battle the sith .

    Why the jedi didn't initiate this protocol after discovering the sith returned after episode 1 , I will never know .

  16. Personally fear was only a tool, very much like intimidation. Manipulation is the greater key. Including the mind.

    How many times did the Jedi try to manipulate the mind to sway to their cause, or get out of a situation?

    Plenty! Which is why Bastila stated in KotOR…

    "Jedi do not kill their enemies, what greater ability is there than to sway your enemy to your cause."

    In many ways Palpatine did this to a grand scale. Incite fear and dread, only to convince them to his cause.

    With Padme in Episode I, he showed her the flaw of the Republic and the time consuming process of bureaucracy, which by the Motion of No Confidence made him Chancellor.

    In Episode II while Padme and Anakin were investigating Anakin's mother, and Obi Wan. The revelation of the Clone Army any the Separatist Movement caused Jar Jar to make motion to grant Palpatine emergency powers to command the Grand Army of the Republic.

    Finally it was putting the premonition of Padme's death in childbirth in Episode III in Anakin. That sealed his fate to the dark side, and make him Sidious's Apprentice as Darth Vader.

    So from this fear yes was a factor, but only a tool in the end. Manipulating people, and Events was his true power. All while blinding the Jedi Order to it.

  17. Honestly, how many in the galaxy even remember the Sith? The Jedi tried very hard to make everyone forget them and erase them from history. I can certainly see that the galaxy would fear force wielders in general especially given all the horrid actions caused by them that no normal individual can do. So, yeah, Palpatine would keep the fact that he’s a force wielder hidden.

  18. I doubt the entire galaxy would have turned on the emperor even if it was revealed that he was a Sith Lord. Even if they were angered by it, they themselves turned against the Jedi. In most cases you need a Jedi in order to combat a Sith Lord. Darth Sidious could have easily decimated Legions of Ordinary People. The only way he would have been overthrown is if his own military turned against him.
