"It was known by the ancients that a Dark Lord with three eyes has a secret strength possessed by none other."
―Trioculus[src]

Darth Millennial was a three-eyed mutant Sith Lord and Shadow Hand, heir to the lineage of Darth Bane, who lived almost a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Apprenticed to Darth Cognus, Millennial was powerful in the Force and had the ability to see the future. However, he and his Master disagreed on many aspects about the Sith, and Millennial became disillusioned with the Rule of Two, which he felt was far too restrictive, and saw far more sense in Lord Kaan's Rule by the Strong.

Eventually, he left his enraged Master and founded the Dark Force religion, which would later become the Prophets of the Dark Side on the planet Dromund Kaas. Proclaiming himself as a prophet chosen by the will of the Force, he attracted many Force-users from across the galaxy to his religion before passing away.

The cartoon is amazing, although it couldn't really save Anakin and Padme from being terrible characters. Every episode not involving them is great and even the ones with them are OK.

i think my new favorite thing to do on wookiepedia is scrolling down to the "appearances" section and see how many times the character with the 1500 word bio actually appeared in a book, comic, or movie.

the answer here is actually never, he was mentioned in 3 books, and apparently one of them was a retcon.

The Clone Wars movie has little to do with the cartoon, the latter being perhaps the best Star Wars show to come out since the actual original movies.

Theres two different ones. The samurai jack style clone wars one which is pretty awesome and the CGI clone wars which continues on from the bad movie. It fluctuates from being awful garbage to decent.

Clone Wars radiates from pretty fun to pretty awful. I haven't finished it, but my son and I sit down to watch an episode once a week or so. There are some great little stories in it when it focuses on clone troopers and crazy battles, but then it can veer off into whole episodes about diplomacy and trade disputes and idiocy. Case in point, this type of crap:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zCLeEntvgs

Best thing of all though is that if it is sucks, it's short. Only 20-30 minutes or so. It does feel more episodic and serial-like at times, which is what I thought Lucas was always originally going for with Star Wars in the first place.

i think the worst thing in the eu - after general veers outcome of course - is the terrible lack of creativity displayed by the authors planet naming conventions. there are dozens of "ord [x]" planets, corellia isn't enough so there's also "corwellia", then ofc we have the 'ooines' - dantooine, tatooine, kantooine, there's like 7 or 8 more

But that's how place names work in real life? You attach something unique to a common affix like -ton, -town, -ville, -burg, -borough, -wick, -land, etc. "Ord" is supposedly "ordnance depot," so they are the Star Wars version of Fort Such-and-Such.

I just remembered one.

Jacen Solo goes to some gem mining ship/operation that Lando Calrissian owns (of course) and finds a 1 in a billion gem, corusca gem I think, and Lando comments that its worth "a city block on Coruscant" and then Jacen goes "Um, no I'll use it in my lightsaber."

For that kind of money you could've bought a artificial gem making company and had them engineering the most superior light-saber crystal ever

quote:

Jacen Solo used a Corusca gem worth the price of an entire Coruscant city block, which he acquired at GemDiver Station, Lando Calrissian's mining station, to power his lightsaber. Ganner Rhysode was another Jedi known to use a Corusca gem in his lightsaber, until it was destroyed by Jacen Solo when he feigned alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong.

Same book had Tenal Ka use some shoddy flawed crystal she found because tough warriors don't need perfect crystals and it got her arm cut off. Then she cried about it and decided to be a tough warrior girl with only one arm. In a galaxy where near perfect prosthetics exist. Because drama.

If the rule of two meant that a Sith master always had an apprentice that would be cool. If it means that there are only two Sith in the galaxy then that sucks. I haven't read wookieepedia for it but I bet the EU took the dumb version and ran with it.

This is not true. Their home planet kicked them entirely out of their home galaxy and then shat out an offspring planet that became a new planet in the galaxy they eventually got to after a thousand years or two. The new planet is the one with hyperdrives, and no one has yet (or will ever with the reboot) explain how the planet got hyperdrives or why being a force sensitive living organism world lets them add hyperdrives to it.

Or at least explains why if they could do it to that world no one ever did that to any other. I mean, that seems like it's right up Lando's alley if nothing else.

Also the galaxy has cloning but medical technology for some unknown reason will never grow cloned organs/limbs/whatever. They just never did that. Ever.

It only takes ten million soldiers to conquer this galaxy. We should mount some hyperdrives on our planet and tell Texas that this new galaxy is full of liberals and then kill all the Texans and we'll rule the loving place like Gods.

In the years following the Galactic Empire's establishment in 19 BBY, great efforts were taken to expunge the last remaining resources of the fallen Jedi Order from the galaxy. One of these measures was the banning of all crystals capable of being used in the construction of lightsabers. Due to this, Luke was forced to fabricate his own green synthetic lightsaber crystal, utilizing a small blast furnace and a book of instructions found within the home of his fallen Master on Tatooine.

So do all the Sith and secret apprentices do this too or is there some Imperial exception? Because it seems like banning all lightsaber construction would really be a problem if Vader's ever breaks.
