Recently got back into Star Wars after a decade. Just want to say this channel deserves some praise. Seems like they're uploading daily. Keep it up! Love it

[mrfancypants]

Wonder if it would even occur to the Sith to seek out guidance from the Light side of the Force in the interest of self-preservation if this Staff was so dangerous..

[chadflanaganCFC]

Didn't know this was a thing before this video, but it's easily become one of my favorite Sith artifacts as the parallels it has to "The One Ring of Power." or even more accurately Soul Edge from the Soul Caliber series is just awesome.

I love it when MTG images find their way onto these videos :)

[Achuidian]

Am I the only one thinking that the Darkstaff and “The One Ring to rule them all” of Tolkien Lord of the Rings are similar?

[enoughothis]

When even the Sith say "hard pass" you know it's messed up.

At last something so terrifying that Both the Sith and Jedi knew it had to be destroyed.

This is the lore I really like!

Covering all of the unknown or less known aspects of the Star Wars universe!

Also Exar Kun is my favorite Jedi/Sith! Dude is just a straight beast!

The Dark Staff. I like it. It almost seems like an object that could only be wielded by Darth Nihilus. It also sounds a lot like something that parallels The Nameless. Something that relates to and embodies The Anti-Force. I wonder what The Mother of The Path Of The Open Hand would think of an artifact like this? I'm still hoping that objects like this have something to do with some of the formation and mentality of The Nihil. The Eye Of The Sun...I like that, too. Yet another example of The Ashla and Bogan of The Force.

I am currently running a star wars d&d game set in the old republic era and the BBEG is actually wielding this item. Thanks for the video on it this will help me so much!

When even Other Sith Lords think that your artifact is too powerful and even the dark side hates it. You know you fucked up big time.

Nice picture of Amonkhet, BTW. It's a pretty cool plane in the Magic universe.

[Pyro-etvs]

The dark staff sounds kinda like the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings. An object so powerful that all were tempted by it’s power. An object so powerful, that it’s own desire of domination and chaos were it’s own downfall.

[kaidorade]

The Dark Staff is nearly the One Ring of the SW universe. I love this!

[SlashinatorZ]

Imagine Nihilus with the dark staff vs the Emperor of Mankind

[OmarrMcinnis]

Imagine something so EVIL that the Sith feared for even the safety of others. That's Thanos level destruction. In Latin there is a saying for the outcomes for EVIL such as this: "CARTEGO DELENDE EST..." It means " COMPLETE AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Something like this is only satiated when it leaves NOTHINGNESS in its wake.

Dark side: I trap the thing you break it Light side: got yea

[Gor]

This is extremely terrifying! It's terrible. Really scary story. Glad it's destroyed. Even Sidious would be terrified. Nihilus would definitely used it Thanks. May the Force be with you too. See you soon :)

[kyleslavik]

Truly it's a frightening weapon the darkstaff I read it's personality on the wiki it's scary as hell I'm glad it got destroyed in the final year of the clone wars and the light side ultimately destroyed it and a rare occasion where dark side and light side worked together but ultimately go light side that kind of a weapon needs to be eliminated.
