There have been many powerful Sith in Star Wars lore. There’s Darth Bane, Darth Maul, and the very popular Darth Vader. There was also Exar Kun and Marka Ragnos (who ruled for over 100 years). Then we also don’t want to forget Lord Vitiate or Darth Sidious. How do you even begin to put all that dark evilness into a list? Whether you are a full-fledged fan of the Dark Side, or someone who leans toward the Light, you still have to give credit where it’s due when it comes to these amazing, powerful Dark Lords. It’s hard to compete with the likes of bad guys who can destroy entire planets with just their minds. Also, they wear capes. How cool is that? This video from Star Wars Theory covers from of the most powerful Sith Lords (as listed below) and a brief history of how they came to be. This is…

A Currency Far, Far Away: Money and the Star Wars Universe
Currency, like religion, is a keystone element of any empire but one frequently overlooked in fantasy and science fiction; after all, slapping a new name on a gold coin is the perfect foil to spending hours working out the macro economics of something truly unique. Star Wars got it right, building its universe around the Galactic Credit Standard, a card-based digital currency forged on the Sojourn moon, and one whose value is at the mercy of war. Galactic Economy Of course, there are plenty of other currencies in the Star Wars universe, Drallish crowns and the Tatooine druggat to name just two, with many of them arising as a reaction to the Clone Wars and the Battle of Endor. In the former case, a lack of trust in the Credit created tens of different currencies; in that, the post-Endor galactic economy has parallels with real-world “cryptocurrency” like Bitcoin, a type…
SWTOR: Game Update 5.1.3 Patch Notes
Here are today’s patch notes: GENERAL Corrected an issue where the pop-up text for some Class Missions would display a different experience amount than the Mission Reward.

Rumored Star Wars Actors for New Netflix Show
Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the best Star Wars games to date. You know we love it and we know our readers love it. Now what if there was a new show set in the Old Republic era? Netflix wants to bring us just that. Almost 200,000 fans have petitioned to Disney via Change.org for an “Old Republic Era” TV series and it seems like Disney is taking notice. According to the recent scoop from Hollywood Reporter, Ted Sarandos (Chief Content Officer) at Netflix had some initial talks on this subject with Disney. The rumor says there are even some great scripts they are going through to see if the series would be a good fit. It’s definitely something exciting that we plan to follow to see what happens with it. We still have no idea if it’s actually going to be a thing (here’s hoping) but Entertain-O-Rama has…
How Marka Ragnos Created The Most Powerful Sith of All Time
“The chains of the grave cannot hold a Dark Lord of the Sith…“―Marka Ragnos Who was the most powerful Sith of all time and how did he come to be? Over the history of Star Wars, we’ve seen fallen Jedi and those who swapped sides. Marka Ragnos was a half-breed Dark Lord of the Sith with very rare, powerful ability and strength. He lived during the time of the first Sith Empire. Ragnos defeated Simus, who was beheaded in the battle with the other aspiring Dark Lord. He lived for more than a hundred years, growing in power. He died shortly before the Great Hyperspace War and lived on as a Force ghost after his death. Ragnos would go down in history for more than just his own standing as a great, strong Dark Lord. However, he would also be known for inspiring the Sith with respect, and also for…
SWTOR: Why BioWare nerfed Fractured Uprising CxP
Aparently BioWare have more Nerfs up there sleeves. Comming with game update 5.2 Bioware will be nerfing the CXP gain from KOTFE Chapter 1 and 2. Check it out: Why did you nerf Fractured Uprising CxP? | 03.08.2017, 10:27 AM Hey folks, I talked with the team to get the scope of what Mission rewards are changing with 5.2. As some of you guessed in the thread, the following Missions are also having their CXP values reduced: KOTFE – Chapter 1 KOTFE – Chapter 2 Those two along with Fractured are the only Mission rewards that are seeing major changes in 5.2. However, there are other Missions which are receiving minor tweaks as well. Just to set an expectation, beyond 5.2 we will continue to make Mission reward adjustments based on time spent vs reward. Our goal is quite simple, if you play a type of content, you should receive…

The Deleted Revan Scene from The Clone Wars
Darth Revan speaks with The Son of Mortis in this deleted scene from The Clone Wars. Chances are, you’ve heard of this epic deleted scene from The Clone Wars Season 3: Ghosts of Mortis but you might not know what it’s all about. There is a lot of chatter over this scene because it basically shows us how Darth Revan was almost canon. Is the cut scene still considered canon within Star Wars story? We’ll explore that a bit after but if you have yet to see the scene, watch the video below. See the delete scene for yourself here: So now that you’ve seen it, what is it all about? Here is this scene, we see that the Son has been influenced by two dark entities. They want him to control “The Chosen One”, Anakin Skywalker and bring the world into Darkness. So why did the scene get deleted?…

Could Darth Revan Return to Star Wars Canon? Has He Already Been Seen?
Will we ever see Darth Revan reappear in Star Wars canon? Have we actually already seen this Legends-favorite Sith Lord? Darth Revan is arguably one of the most well known Sith Lords of all time. He has a huge following and it’s easy to understand why. That’s why it’s easy to see why so many fans want him to return to canon. It almost happened in a recent episode of The Clone Wars but the scene was deleted because Lucas felt it wasn’t keeping with the Star Wars legend he had created. Those from the Dark Side were not supposed to be able to return to the living after death. So it was a scrapped scene but a good prediction of what may have been. While Lucas doesn’t want to see Revan come back in this way, that doesn’t mean we’ll never see him return. He could return to canon…
SWTOR: Changes to Operation Drops in 5.2
Eric Musco took on the official forums and released BioWares plans for the operation loot table coming with patch 5.2. This describes the plans forh specific drops attached to the each bosses. Check it out below: Hey folks, If you haven’t read it yet, we recommend you head over to the “Tier 4 in Game Update 5.2” thread and learn about the new Tier of gear coming next Update. Along with the new Tier of gear, we are making quite a few changes to what gear drops in Operations. For endgame PvE players we know there is a desire to gear primarily through Operations.

This means when you kill a boss in an Operation, you will know exactly what is going to drop…

Eric Musco just informed the community that BioWare intend to ad some changes to Command Ranks in Patch 5.2. Below are all the details Tier 4 Gear in Game Update 5.2 | 03.03.2017, 08:14 AM Hey folks, In Game Update 5.2, we will be introducing a new tier of gear to Galactic Command. Tier 4 works a bit differently than other tiers and so we want to provide you with insight about why we’re implementing it. Additionally, we know our social post raised a few concerns and so we want to tackle those first. Why add 100 more Command Ranks? The 100 new levels were simply a logical next step for adding Tier 4 gear. However, since it’s already possible to rank up at Command Level 300 indefinitely we decided to take your feedback and keep the current cap. So, starting in 5.2, Command Crates dropped at Level 300 will…

Star Wars: Battlefront to Become Massive eSports Title?
With the first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive challenging League of Legends as the most watched competitive eSport title, there appears to be huge scope to develop Star Wars: Battlefront to be a massive eSport box office draw. There are a diverse group of games that have made the transition to becoming super successful eSports games, but generally, there are a few criteria that although not guaranteeing success, certainly make it more feasible. Here’s our breakdown of why Battlefront is (or should be) destined to become an eSports hit.
