Curved saber lmao

Curved saber and a gollum.

So much win in a single pic.

"win"

I wish they would put out compelling novels rather than this drivel. But I suppose that's too much to ask for since the Disney buyout.

Sadly we probably won't get anything in the way of legitimate quality until Zahn's next Thrawn novel drops.

The curved lightsabers kinda bothers me, wtf is that, why...

I mean there were some crazy lightsaber designs prior Canon too.

I dunno though if horror really fits within SW however. I mean....I guess it can, I mean we had Abeloth who looks like some Lovecraft horror and then there's the Death Troopers, along with some beasts who come off as horrorish.

But this strange delving into releasing more of this horror themed stuff seems kinda..off.

Star Wars has never settled for one type of genre. Star Wars is basically the universe filled with supernatural entities and beings. Star Wars can be any genre a writer wants it to be.

Yeah, I mean look at the Bedlam Spirits... Doesn't get anymore random than that.

That being said, I'm also not a huge fan of the horror genre in SW, though it can be decent if done right.

Death Troopers on Dead Space engine.

Excerpt from the chapter:

The one about Lord Nyax?

Ah yes! That's the one.

I know it's just prelim art, but GI appears to have a different saber there.

Saber Scimitar is retarded but not as retarded as the saber staff and Lumiya's saber whip.

I don't even understand the mechanics of a scimitar style blade. How the hell does it curve like that?

Neat

Noctyss herself was evidently quite powerful as well:

"Noctyss's capacity for channeling the dark side of the Force seemed almost limitless, and all who stood in her way soon wilted It was said that, in those early days, Darth Noctyss might have conquered the entire galaxy, forging a brutal realm of the Sith that would have dominated for eons--if only she had had a mind to do it."

But like Plagueis and Palpatine, her undoing was ultimately in her lust for immortality.

Hmm. So does that mean this Darth Noctyss and Darth Sanguis also discovered the key to immortality?

And I assume this is set in the Old Republic right?

"It was nothing but a wretch, the very dregs of life, a thing so broken that it barely clung to its existence."

Still a far cry from the immortality(via essence transfer) that Plagueis discovered and taught to Palpatine, or the immortality(via temporal resurrection) that Momin was capable of.

Yeah, it's set in ancient times: "Long ago, when the galaxy was young and the stars burned bright and new."

There was also a reference to an immense order of Sith who lived during the reign of Noctyss:
"She would take her place at the head of a vast realm of the Sith, and all her many subjects would be shown their place, would kneel before her in gratitude for their enlightenment."

So it definitely takes place in the pre-Bane era.

Gotta say... This was actually a fun read for the most part, and introduces several new characters/concepts(mostly on the dark side of things.)

-There's Jedi purge survivor named Kira Vantala, who actually bests the Grand Inquisitor in combat after he began stealing Force-sensitive children and taking them to a Sith Temple.
-There's a skull-like Sith mask purchased from Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities on Batuu, which essentially possesses the current wearer, and allows them to see the experiences of previous wearers.
-There's the entire "Blood Moon" chapter, which is honestly really good and highly recommended. A star that once held the purest heart of kyber galaxy has fractured as a result of wars during the Old Republic. As such, the star began 'bleeding', which wiped out the orbiting planet and said energies also have very...strange residual effects on the crews who visit the planet afterward.
-There's a story that is seemingly set in the Old Republic era, which introduces a Jedi named Nil Idyth(who is revered as a high-level Master with perfect control over his emotions.) However, Nil wears a kyber amulet that he's been using to transfer all of his dark emotions into... And when he is killed, his Padawan(named Sol Mogra) begins wearing the amulet, and is corrupted by the dark emotions within it.
-Darth Caldoth makes another appearance, and ends up mind-raping a Nightsister into oblivion(Caldoth is the same guy who turned his apprentice into stone with a Sith ritual during Myths & Fables.)
-And then of course there's the faux-immortality story of Darth Sanguis and Darth Noctyss.


Definitely a very dark, horror-themed book. Enjoyable overall, imo.

Also Darth Caldoth really sound interesting, I just mentioned him some days ago in my thread about the strongest dark siders in canon. Is there a site in particular from which you read this book? Or you phisically bought it?

The more I see of Darth Caldoth, the more impressive he gets. The mind-f*ckery he pulled on the Nightsister was glorious:


Caldoth essentially isolated Zeldin's mind from her physical body, and kept her consciousness imprisoned in a perpetual state of torment within his own mind. Permanently.

...And mind you, Zeldin was also being amped by an entire coven of Nightsisters there.

Caldoth sounds like one of those extremely powerful sith lords we have in the legends continuity, like ludo kressh, tulak hord, nadd etc

Instead of wasting time on Doctor Aphra, they should start writing stories about the ancient jedi and sith

Full-length novels centered around either of them could be really good, imo.

So Disney definitely isn't going to stop cramming her down our throats now. If anything, the Aphra series will just become even more #Woke than ever. ermm

And this Darth Caldoth sounds intriguing. What other stories has he been in?

Darth Caldoth made his debut in Myths & Fables(specifically the chapter "Gaze of Stone".) He was also mentioned briefly in Dooku: Jedi Lost.

The "Bestiary of Darth Caldoth"(or something close to that) was referenced when Dooku was exploring the Jedi archives.

It was more of an easter egg than anything.
