SPECULATION "ONCE MORE the sith will RULE the galaxy"

It does not make KOTOR a canon. But it is a canon that Sith did rule a Galaxy before creation of The Republic ( at least 1000 years ago ).

 

Where is this mentioned in canon?
In legends the sith order did not exist before the creation of the republic and the sith species never ruled the galaxy as far as I know.

 

In TPM is mentioned that Sith are believed to be extinct 1000 years ago.
Also it is mentioned that The Republic is 1000 years old.

So Sith are rule the Galaxy sometime prior to that.

 

Oh I get it now, that line must reference the "galactic republic" which is around 1000 years old. The "republic/old republic" still seems to predate the sith both in canon and legends.

 

I doubt that single quote would make Kotor cannon. But at the time of the creation of the prequels, Kotor was cannon. So it made sense until Disney made everything fucky.

 

Yeah, it definitely doesn't make the entirety of KOTOR canon just like how the appearance of Darth Bane's illusion doesn't mean the Bane Trilogy is canon.

All we know is just that the Sith did rule the galaxy at some point before the movies and that, according to Palpatine in TCW, there used to be Sith Empires.

 

Somethings have changed. In KOTOR the battle of Malacor 5 was fought between Jedi & Mandalorians.

In Disney canon the battle of Malacor ( no 5 added ) was between Jedi & Sith.

Both battles involving a superweapon.

 

Just to be nitpicky, in ANH Obi Wan says:

"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."

A generation is commonly referred to as between twenty to thirty years. So it could have been twenty to thirty thousand years since the Sith ruled anything.

 

Palpatine in AOTC: "I will not let this Republic, that has stood for a thousand years, be split in two."

Numbers, man. There's just so many of them. Like, at least a thousand, or something

 

I would actually like to hear Ian McDiarmid say the line:

"I will not let this Republic, that has stood for...Numbers, man. There's just so many of them. Like, at least a thousand, or something, be split in two."

That would make my day.

 

I wonder if this timeline is canon.

A couple of interesting tidbits, if it is:

-Old Republic is roughly 10,000 years old

- Jedi Order was formed on Ach-To (I knew it was obviously a sacred site, but I didn't know it was where the order was officially formed)

- This amusing and abrupt sequence of events:

 

Interesting tidbit: 'Light-Bringer', in Latin, is 'Lucifer'. No point. Just mentioning

Lucifer versus Chair - a grudge match for the ages!!

 

I am guessing this is wishful thinking. There is likely to be an equivalent in the future.

That would indeed be interesting.

Of interest is that title also belonged to Apollo.

No doubt the appropriation of this word by Christians was in reaction to hellenisation. The Roman ploy to destroy the indigenous culture of Judea and replace their religion with that of Greco-Roman gods.

In the Bible, there are allegories for this:

• 666 is Nero
• The beast with seven heads is representative of the successive Emperors
• The Schutta of Babylon- the governments who try to appease the beast of Rome only for themselves to be devoured
• The Horsemen are allegories of what the Romans brought to the kingdoms they conquered (Conquest= obvious, War=self explanatory, Famine= inequality, possible grain requisitioning/war communism; Death= physical but it may also represent forced cultural assimilation)
