Darth Vader: I joined to save my wife

Darth Sidious: I joined thanks to Plageuis

Darth Nihilus: I'm hungry

I'm always down for another Darth Nihilus video from you guys. I'm just now getting into the Lore of the Old Republic, and this really helps!

Darth Nihilus was the most Terrifying Force User because of his lust for Death and destruction. His entire body was corrupted by the Dark side of the force, and he was nothing but a Force spirit covered by the Mask that he bonded his life force to.

I find it ironic Revan, a Jedi and future Sith Lord, created this monster of a Sith. I always love the Nihilus vids you do, Stupendous Wave. You really know how to set that dark tone with him.

Nihilus also Represents the price of Unimaginable Power

[jackkennedy]

Just like the mouth of Sauron and the Witch King of Angmar in the world of J.R.R Tolkien, hence Gandalf quoted in The Hobbit "If he had a name, it has long since been lost, he would have been known only as a servant of evil"... But in this case he's only known as Darth Nihilus

[starkilr]

I have a friend who lives Revan and he told me that without Revan, Nihilus, one of my favorites, wouldn’t exist. He’s got a point

[Kindredsoul]

i fully believe that if darth nihilus lived long enough, he wouldve erased all life in the galaxy, hes also my favorite darth so i have to be biased

[jojotheswede]

He was just a simple man making his way through the galaxy.

[hunterquate]

Legend says Darth Nihilus's mask is still somewhere in the galaxy, but cursed with his soul/spirit and the wound in the force of hunger that he suffered.
And whoever puts it on will suffer what he had and become just like him/the new Darth Nihilus

[tylerhellums]

I'm surprised you managed to find this much information in regards to Nihilus's life. It's most difficult to come by, but when the slightest measure escapes the cold of obscurity it makes me feel as if I had found valuable secrets

[SunStreaker-wc]

Nothing but pure unbound dark side energy

A Live action of Nihilus story would become a insta-hit seeing how many people played KOTOR back then and are obsessed with this character.

[robertagu]

Always love lore about my favorite Sith

[gabrielbreaker]

He screech in KOTOR trips me out still

[chrispybacon]

Your lore videos are amazing. I haven't really had the motivation to read any novels for a while, even though I used to always have a book in hand. But, your videos make me feel like I don't even need to do any reading. The way you set the tone paired with the ominous background music makes for a pretty entertaining and perhaps even "immersive" experience, for lack of a better word.

Ah The Lord Of Hunger. One of my favorite Sith! Which reminds me: Tis lunch time

[ajasinja]

I find very interesting how, in the end, Nihilus, Sion, the Exiled, and even Kreia in her own way (after being one of her students), are all children of Revan, and Revan's actions : the children of war. Maybe the Jedi were not so dumb when they chose not to intervene (their mistake was to do nothing, not to refuse to get into the war). Because the Mandalorian War was a ttrick from the Sith : not just undermining the economy and the military strenght of the Republic, but planting a seed. Vitiate knew war was an opportunity for the darkside in itself, because it comes with tragedies, loss, sorrow, anger, hate. Revan just pushed it to an another level with the mass shadow generator.
The Sith succeeded greatly. But there was something they had not foreseen : Kreia was too clever not to draw all the conclusions and saw a chance to use Revan's actions' consequences to destroy the Force itself
