This week on Legends Lookback, we dive into one of the most mysterious and terrifying Sith Lords in Star Wars Legends: Darth Nihilus. Introduced in Knights of the Old Republic II, Nihilus isn’t just another dark side villain—he’s a wound in the Force itself, driven by an endless hunger that can drain the life from entire worlds. We explore the origins of this haunting character, the eerie lore behind his mask and silent presence, and what his existence reveals about the nature of the Force. Along the way, we debate whether Nihilus is truly one of the most powerful Sith in history or simply the most dangerous anomaly the galaxy has ever seen.

In this episode, we dive into Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno and explore the brutal, emotional aftermath of Order 66. We follow Vader’s first uneasy steps as the Emperor’s enforcer — wrestling with his new armor, his shattered identity, and a galaxy that still remembers Anakin Skywalker — while a handful of surviving Jedi struggle to accept that their war, and their Order, is truly over. From Kashyyyk’s tragedy to Vader’s early lightsaber clashes, we break down the character depth, the creeping weight of Imperial rule, and whether this novel is more a story about the rise of a Sith… or the extinction of hope.

It’s getting dark in here, so tune into this episode of Legends Lookback! We’re introducing a new season of Sith-related content. In this episode we’ll be discussing and debating why books about Sith Lords are so great and selecting books to cover on upcoming roundtable episodes.

In this episode we dive into the second half of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, from the galaxy-spanning hunt for the Star Maps to the dark halls of the Sith Academy on Korriban. Along the way, we unpack one of the greatest plot twists in sci-fi history—the reveal of Darth Revan—and explore the mystery of the Star Forge and the ancient powers behind it. Big ideas, bold choices, and why KOTOR still hits so hard all these years later.

We’re wrapping up the year, looking back at the good times, and dreaming of what’s ahead. So before you put away your stockings, put on your red Wookiee Life Day robes one last time for the season, and mix some egg nog into your blue bilk as we celebrate the holiday with Star Wars Legends and ring in the new year with the old Legends we’ve known and loved for decades.

Our KOTOR coverage continues! Hop on board the Ebon Hawk with us as we do a character deep-dive on the illustrious crew of diverse companions that accompany you throughout the game. We’re talking Juhani, Jolee, Bastila, and more. Who’s your favorite? Did you kill Juhani? Let us know in the Discord.

One of the best things about the Star Wars Legends community is the wonderful network of like-minded fans who all share our love of these fantastic stories and characters. We connected with one such new friend of ours is Kyle (Xezene), the creator of a tremendous undertaking—detailed, a multi-part, behind the scenes account of the making of the New Jedi Order. He went back in the archives and conducted brand new interviews to find all of the personal accounts of what went down all those years ago to form this unbelievably ambitious storytelling initiative. We ask Kyle all about what it took to tackle such a big project, as well as just general nerding out about the NJO. Thanks to the folks at Legacy Expo for bringing us together. Recorded on September 13th in Burbank, CA.

In this episode we explore the lore of Revan and Malak, their triumphs, their falls to the dark side, and their brutal breakup with galaxy-spanning consequences. We'll explore the brilliant tactical minds of Revan and Malak and their sudden, shocking fall to the dark side. We cover their motivations and the philosophical seeds that led them to forge a new Sith Empire
