I don't even like Star Wars anymore and I thought it was neat although once again pointless because we already did this prequel shit before and the IP holders will never ever ever move the fuck on from that subject matter.

This is the farthest we have been from the skywalker timeline in live action.

Need something for that KOTOR itch.

Timeline for the show has not been identified yet, I am hoping this show is set during the Old Republic.

"but didn't they say the sith were extinct" is an absolute clown take when you consider that very same movie had two Sith in it, so clearly they were not extinct and Mundi and the council were wrong from the very start.

"i thought they were extinct" is a very different statement to "they are extinct"

Yes it has. It's been known for a long time. This show is set 100 years before The Phantom Menace.

Maybe there will be no proof revealed they are Sith to the Jedi Council. It's hard to distinguish between a Sith and a mere Dark Jedi, with the latter popping up every once in a while.

Also, if the With are successful at killing all who come into contact with them, no word gets out...

It takes place 100 years before TPM.

.....the point is the Jedi believed the Sith to be extinct for over a thousand years....

So if there is a Sith in this show, which takes place 100 years before TPM, there has to be a really good explanation as to why the Jedi in TPM still believe the Sith had been extinct all that time.

Please please

Have lightsabers actually be deadly. Too many people are surviving chest stabs

Exactly one character survived being stabbed through the torso, and it wasn't even a chest wound, it was down in the side of her belly.

Tbf, Anakin survived A LOT more than a torso stab, too.

Referring to Sabine? There was also the Third Sister. Still no idea how she survived being impaled twice by Vader. Second time barely even slowed her down.

Maul also survived being bisected. Dark side of the force is useful for keeping you alive, even if in a wretched state.

This is the first part of the new extended universe stuff that seems genuinely interesting. Will probably check it out. >_>

how much blue milk are they going to keep squeezing out

If you stab someone in the chest with a lightsaber, why pull it straight out or deactive it immediately? Just pull it out to the side and up a bit, mess up all their internal organs. That should not be survivable yet we've seen at least 3 recent characters come back from it. Sabine, Third Sister, Inquisitor. It's annoying.

There's definitely ways they could pull it off but there's a lot more ways they could screw it up. A super threatening Dark Jedi that's technically not a Sith but practically acts the same should still make them not so laid back at time of Phantom Menace. Any major threat in living memory should have them more on their toes.

I'm not sure how long ago the Sith existed according to Episode I/Prequel Era Jedi who thought they were extinct, but it was not 1000+ years ago, as the fact that the Rule of 2 is even known about among the Jedi indicates Bane's lineage of Sith didn't go completely under the radar. Season 6's Ending of the Clone Wars even has Yoda meet Darth Bane's Spirit, and Yoda is aware of the Rule of 2. This is Star Wars Canon material. As for Legends material, it goes over this more in depth in other ways. Specifically...

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Grand_Plan/Legends#Setbacks

Premature revelation
Sometime during 200 BBY, the Plan was threatened by the actions of a particular Sith Lord. He was known to his successors for having opened a hole in the Force. This had the effect of allowing the Jedi to feel the dark side for the first time in approximately eight centuries. The Jedi were now aware of the Sith's existence.

Also in Legends...

Legends-era material gave a clear answer to how the Jedi discovered the Rule of Two. The Jedi padawan, Kibh Jeen, had fallen to the dark side and become affiliated with the Dark Force, a dark side religion affiliated with the Sith Order and the Prophets of the Dark Side (a Sith splinter religion) that was headquarters in an ancient Sith temple on Dromund Kaas. Less than two centuries before The Phantom Menace, Jeen discovered the survival of the Sith and the Rule of Two, and he revealed this knowledge to the Jedi before he died. His warnings were noted but not believed until the Invasion of Naboo. Whether they were warned by a fallen Jedi or knew of Banes doctrine before the Sith Lords death, the Jedi were aware of the Rule of Two before the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Ehh it would have been so much easier and simpler to just say the rule of two was a longtime tradition of the Sith before they were believed to be extinct.

Yes but the remaininder are all humans where is in the prequels majority were aliens

There are plenty of aliens in the trailer. And, well, most of the main characters, outside animation, have been human.

I'm hyped. Shocked they got Lee Jung-jae.

I mean, it's pretty well established that shit isn't well established in this universe. It's been only like 20-30 years or something between 3 and 4 and somehow Jedi go from all over the place to Han not believing the shit exists.
