Legends Lookback

This week we’re diving into Maul: Lockdown—a brutal, high-octane story that drops Darth Maul into a gladiator prison where survival is optional and chaos is guaranteed. As Maul goes undercover to track down a deadly superweapon for Darth Sidious, he battles through inmates, crime lords like Jabba the Hutt, and some truly nightmare-fuel creatures—all while barely breaking a sweat. We break down the story, explore what it adds to Maul’s character, and ask the important question: what happens when you throw the galaxy’s most dangerous Sith into the worst prison imaginable? Spoiler: it goes very badly for everyone else.

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.
