Valkorion was the greatest. The Sith depended on him for their survival for millennia, he was their god, that is why they withered in his absence. He outgrew the Sith and their Empire, hence why he abandoned them for Zakuul. The dark side was insufficient for him, he wanted to experience the force in its totality. Revan opened his eyes to this when he almost defeated him using both sides of the force in balance. In Zakuul, he was free to pursue new things that the Sith would have deemed him weak for: love, above all. This explains the change in his personality from the ruthless destroyer of worlds, to the loving husband and the father of three children. He could be whoever he wanted without the chains being Sith imposed on him. Realising this only magnified his power and his perspective.

My favourite thing about Vitiate's story line is that my first playthrough of The Old Republic wsa as an inquisitor. It was incredible as the very first segment of the game sees you as about to be the victim of Essence Transfer before one of your companions saves you. Felt like a great deal of foreshadowing as I was right back in that same situation of having to deal with more force ghosts and learning how to stop the transfer.

Never change stupendous wave never change. Been watching your videos a while. Never think that no one cares about your videos, because when I was in middle school I used to come home and watch your videos before doing other things. I know you just make Star Wars content, but wow you’re a good guy.

If Sidious is the devil, Valkorion was a vengeful evil god. Which is ironic with his goal

[dibert]

The eternal empire campaign is the triliogy we deserve!

7:15 slight correction. The peace treaty was between the sith empire and the republic. The eternal empire was not revealed yet

[thetruemonarch]

This is a wonderful compilation. The eternal empire is probably my favorite concept in all of Star Wars, just a mysterious threat that came out of nowhere at exactly the right time to take down both enemy factions. I ended up watching some Battlefront II mod showcases and when Valkorian popped up I clapped like a tiny child. Kneel before the dragon of Za-...Zach-...Zakuul?... ok just kneel or whatever.

Dude, Lucasfilm has a whole trilogy here with this and they instead got that shit 😭😭😭

[Father_Mozgus]

This story is so much more creative and sophisticated compared to anything Disney came up with. They only can reuse already established characters and plots and create nothing new. Even worse, all that was produced is best on a a "ok" level like Mandalorian. But I miss the good old times when games like Kotor or Jedi Knight gave us a glimpse on what fantastic worlds and adventures are still out there in the Star Wars universe

[jameshiggins]

I never knew anything about this Starwars stuff, pretty cool and very interesting how deep the lore goes.

[vxoejov]

I say Vitiate was more powerful that Palpatine for sure. I mean his feats outmatch Sidious. He lived far longer than Sidious did living 1500+ years and absorbing force from planets and more.

Y'all forgot Vitiate could form Avatars to cast spells and fight for him I call that Absolute power

Darth Vitiate (Immortal Emperor) Quote
"You discern a fraction of reality beyond these stars exist other galaxies, other worlds, and other beings. I will experience or ignore them as I wish. I will spend eternity becoming everything: a farmer, an artist, a simple man. When the last living thing in the universe finally dies, I will enjoy the peace and wait for the cycle to begin again."

Tenebrae loves life and is willing to do anything as an immortal to experience it until he finishes devouring all life in the universe or until he witnesses the end of the universe. However, he is still power-hungry and willing to rule a strong empire. As Valkorion, Tenebrae matured and actually removed any thought of devouring all life and simply used it as an idle threat if all came to oppose him. He loved Senya but his love doesn't extend to his children because how he fears their power and fears that they will grow up into ruthless leaders who will one day overthrow him. Tenebrae sees a lot of himself in Vaylin and worked to dominate her so she won't overthrow him similar to how he overthrew his own father. It is interesting that all of Zakuul saw him as a good leader (not a good person) who actually gave his people comfortable and peaceful lives. He did not impose the Sith doctrine on his people but somewhat on his children. Overall, Tenebrae is a monster but is a complicated villain because his final attachments are what led to his own defeat. His final attachments were his family and he loved them in his own twisted way. However, Tenebrae's actions led to his family helping the Jedi and the Sith destroy him once and for all.

Tenebrae loves life to the point he hates the Sith for discarding life and hates the Jedi for sacrificing themselves for the sake of people they do not know. The Jedi and the Sith believe Tenebrae is a monster who cannot change. However, they are wrong as Tenebrae did love Zakuul and his family in his own twisted way. It should be noted that the Tenebrae we see in Echoes of Oblivion is not him but an imprint of who he once was (a world-devouring conqueror).

Lets be honest; Vitiate is way more dangerous, he wants power just for power's sake. He can wipe out entire planets and create empires. Sidious is nowhere near his level, but that being said; Vitiate used more Sith sorcery/alchemy to gain that power whereas Sidious's power is mostly natural.

[vechcron]

Tenebrae Vitiate Valkorian will live again somewhere and sometime some ambitious force wielder will find his personal Holocron and Spell books remember the Emperor was a Sorcerer and Alchemist there will be at least one or two holocrons and numerous spell books he might follow beyond Darth Krayts Empire or someone can find the Dark Staff far too many loose ends

[jakobnunez]

The Dragon of Zakuul is such a badass title.

[jay]

The eternal empire cinematics and story are what the sequels could have been 😭😭😭

[tadhggoreyoneill]

First. Also Darth Vitiate/Emperor Valkorion is easily one of my favorite Star Wars characters

[TONESKY]

No
Why have I never come across this beast???
Hoping there's a few stories on this. Didn't realise there was this much extra lore in SW.

[slightlyautistic]

It's cool that Vitiate could do a facsimile of what Nihilus could do casually. Tho, where Nihilus isn't satisfied, Vitiate was granted power, AND immortality.
