The Jedi who Became a Sith After The Clone Wars - Darth Krayt Top 10 Facts

- Darth Krayt is a villain that I would have loved to have seen replace Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. I think he would have made for a much more interesting character, and perhaps could have been working under Palpatine's resurrected soul if they wanted to go with that story still.
Darth Krayt AKA A'sharad Hett, knew Anakin Skywalker and fought in The Clone Wars. He later went to outlive Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine after Return of the Jedi's timeline to have confrontations with Cade Skywalker.

RIP Legends. So many great characters thrown into the void.
@@RA-VEN8 Always remembered.
They can live again once.
I dont get you. It doesnt matter these characters arent Canon, you can still love their stories.
@@andreiefectivuatafac1966 Hey what’s up guys! Just finished working on a Star Wars fan fiction! I would appreciate it if you would check it out and let me know what you think! RISE OF THE EMPIREczcams.com/channels/ZnaIFSP5ZYUM1NzF3zXWlQ.html
@@ColeKissell ok
Darth Krayt: a veteran of the Clone Wars, a survivor of Order 66, a victim of the Yuuzhan Vong tortures, the founder of the Rule of One, and the emperor of a new Sith Empire.
Snoke: Palpatine's VR avatar.

Darth Krayt's story was tragic as hell:
-His mom died when he was only a baby.
-A crazy b*tch killed his father.
-By fault of his own tribe, his relationship with Anakin was damaged.
-Lost his lover Xiaan and his apprentice Bhat during the Clone Wars.
-Had to fight against his own army.
-His tribe expelled him because he was defeated by an hermit.
-The Empire forced him to live as a criminal.
-The Vong tortured him in a very painful way.
Yep
Yep
Yep
Yep
Yep
Darth Krayt is one of favourite Sith Lords and his Rule of One was an extremely interesting idea.
It was an interestingidea , the only flaw is the power vacuum from the top Sith Lord's death, but Krayt obviously had no intention of dying and planned to rule the One Sith forever... things seldom go as planned.
@@echo013winter3 If I remember right he gets betrayed by his second in command but then returns to whoop his ass. It was both funny and badass. Too bad we never got a game with Cade Skywalker and the Legacy Era.
@YouWouldn'tGetIt Yeah but it wasn't officially called Rule of One plus in The Old Republic, the Sith leadership consistent of many powerful Sith not just One ruler.
his back story is definitely interesting, but i always felt the rule of one was flawed. it returned the sith to what they were before darth bane's time, and it seems like infighting would've arisen to destroy them again.
Huh noice
i can't blame Anakin's rage because losing a parent is hard enough as is but losing his mother under those conditions(tortured) would make the best of us extremely angry.
Exactly. People in the scene after he killed the raiders are like “what’s that baby crying about?”. Dude! His mother was murdered by savage raiders and then took his anger out on them, after the slaughter he realized he is just as bad as the savages that killed his mother.
@@lexofpower2822 ikr, I honestly would've been extremely mad
@@lexofpower2822 I agree, but then again anakin probably murdered around 30 women and children too
@@vikramo6994 true, and it is a strong sign that a person is going to the dark side by killing of women doubly so with children.
@@vikramo6994 Well, he wasn't exactly in control of his own actions at the time. It wasn't a consious action on his part.
A much more interesting story then the sequels
It always is.
Fact
I am interesting
Yes indeed
*Want some death sticks?*
You forgot to mention that Krayt helped Luke defeat Abeloth
What I really love about Krayt's story is how it brings the entire EU together.
Almost every era of the EU plays a role in shaping his destiny, so having him as the main villain in Legacy makes it feel like the culmination of the whole EU timeline.
Having the villain be a byproduct of everything that has happened in the Saga is really cool, IMO.
Being trained by one of the first sith lords, is something that ties it into a neat package fosho
Yeah, he has a connection to every major era in the star wars timeline. Old Republic, Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, Yuuzan Vong War and finally he came to be the Emperor.
And once again it is shown just how much better legends are
@Haljordan4life So true
I hope they will Show Obi Wan duel him in the Kenobi series
Preach.
not everything legends did was good
Dude if the Kenobi series takes place anywhere near this time period, then we need to see the duel between these two and basically have it foreshadow Darth Krayt as the next main villain in trilogy #4. The period between ROTJ and TFA could be the period where he is with the Yuuzhan Vong. Disney literally has the perfect shot to do this.
THIS....is who the Sequels should have been based on.
@@hellothere-bx8cf you like princess. Legends is for adults not manbabies
I think George lucas plan episode 7,8,9 to be adventure of luke journey.
But I think darth krayt would be main villain in episode 10,11,12 know further sequel.
@@BattleshipWarspite wasn’t 4,5,6 Luke’s journey?
@@Unknownrandomdude no that was his like basic journey but what means is his journey after rotj and his life not shown onscreen
@@oddstuffyt8161 ah
I consider legends Canon. Disney Canon is just wrong
you're speaking the truth
Who’s Disney?!
@@williamharbuck8575 a mouse empire that caused damage to Star Wars and said they had “no source material” when there was like 30 years of material
Wow so edgy
What they should do is re-introduce A’Sharad in the Kenobi series and have the famous duel. It will be in the literal same area of time as it is set to take place. Also, it could foreshadow Darth Krayt being the main antagonist of episode X, XI, and XII. They literally have a perfect shot at doing this if the execs at Disney even knew who Darth Krayt is. Hopefully with George on board it will be a possibility. If Rey is still in the franchise by then, she’s gonna have some damn work cut out for her.
A’sharad Hett had one of the coolest lightsaber designs, leather bound with charms and teeth hanging off the pommel
There's a fan audio drama that got released recently based around Krayt, Beyond Shadows on Spotify. This video is some nice timing
oh i heard that one was pretty good tbh nicely done
u got a link for that?
@@mayholland2997 i got you
open.spotify.com/episode/288j09PaLPjqZcqR0PPQ4F?si=kZIWsBwPQuO73CCnMSJakg&nd=1
Wow! That was really great. Hoping to see more of their work. Awesome start!
Easily one of the most intriguing characters in Star Wars for me. Heck, everything about the Legacy Era is fascinating but Krayt and Darth 'Sexual Energy' Talon are incredibly memorable for their designs alone.
I hope they will have Obi Wan Duel him in the Kenobi series
@@CIOptimusPrime That would be friggin' sweet.
@@CIOptimusPrime if that happens there maybe a possible retcon of the sequels
@@CIOptimusPrime agreed it would make sense too seeing as he was one tatooine after the clone war
Instead of the first order we should’ve gotten Darth Krayt and Cade Skywalker
We got jack like sparrow then KK says we have no source material what a damn liar.
Yep, that would have been so cool. And then work in ben solo to be Cades other rival.
They should really make the Legacy series cinematic.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yep
It had the potential to be incredible. So much potential sewered and utterly wasted.
Facts
These is canon for me!
I love that you’ve been doing polls to see the audience’s interest level of Star Wars and characters etc. I don’t really have access to the comics or books so I only know what I can learn from the movies and online sources, like CZcams videos like yours, so please go as deep into lore as you want because I love it!!
Keep Learning Me'Lady
There's Plenty Of Starwars Lore To Enjoy. His Videos
Are Filled With Knowledge
Of Stuff You Find In
Wookiepidia,and Comics
For the comics you can read them on readcomiconline.
@@taycarroll1124 Ooooooh, Cool, I'll have to check that out, thanks my dude
You can also read a lot of the comics on marvel unlimited. Costs like 10 dollars a month I believe though.
@@gnotes85 But on readcomiconline and viewcomic you can read them for free.
He was an awesome character, those old books and comics were amazing
You know Darth Krayt could have been the next great villain in the sequel or a different trilogy to give another reminder the consequences of Anakin revenge of the on the Tusken like if they have him still be a Jedi but find out that Anakin destroy the raider camp but the one he and his father was raise in that lead Krayt to the dark side seek revenge on Anakin and bloodline or something.
Honestly it would have made a great story. Showing the consequences of not only Vader/Anakins actions but almost expanding with a First Order type force the aftermath of what the empire had done.
Just thinking about it makes me so mad. Soo much potential. We could have had cade skywalker be our new mc. Instead of cringe rey.
A very deep character too few fans know about.
Bonus fact: He didn’t know the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise.
And he helped you beat Abeloth
Yeah *helped* ...
@@wut5910 you both pulled your weight in that fight
The Legacy comic book series was really great. It’s more mature than your average Star Wars content, with fantastic world-building and excellent characters! I strongly recommend to anyone who seeks a unique storyline after RotJ. By the way, if you want more Darth Krayt, go check “Beyond the Shadows”, an amazing fan-project about this awesome tusken-raider turned Sith!
what comics or books also are about him, what comic is theory covering
I know Darth Krayt is unlikely to be canon but imagine in the Kenobi series we get to see A'Sharad Hett fight Obi Wan
Agreed, I would like to see him in live action
Okay why you all want EU characters in canon. Canon is shit, and characters will be twisted. Don't you wanna just enjoy what you have. Instead of believing, that Disney will make Star Wars Great again?!
A'Sharad Hett / Darth Krayt is one of my favourite Jedi AND Sith, behind Qui-Gon and Yoda for Jedi and Palpatine and Vader for the Sith respectively. I have always liked Sandpeople, so a Sandpeople Jedi would always win me over and as a Sith he chose his Sith name from the most dangerous creature from his home planet, such a cool character. Earliest I've been on one of Theory's videos, due to timezone differences.
I collected all the Legacy comics last year. They were so good. Would have loved to see Cade Skywalker's story on the big screen over the sequel trilogy. Tales of The Jedi comics involving Exar Kun are also a great read!
I always find Sith and Dark Side stories more fascinating. Can you talk about Revan? Is he the perfect force user having mastered both the dark side and the light?
revan is the goat, all hail revan
@@aamirrazak3467 do you feel the same way about Darth Revan than Jedi Knight Revan?
@@danielcasas8582 well I like them both I guess Darth Revan is the cooler of the two aspects of Revan if I’d have to pick one
Cade is legit my favorite SW character. I would love to have this kind of video more often and why not one on Cade, Jacen etc!
Dude before Disney bought Star Wars, I read every single issue of the legacy series. Awesome story. 😎👍🏼.
I did want to see more of those alien Stormtroopers though.
This is such an interesting story, this would’ve made a perfect sequel trilogy.
3 Dislikes are Now an
Enemy,Of #OurNewEmpire.
I Absolutely Love These Kinda Videos My Dude.
We Should Of Got Darth Caudus In The Sequel Trilogy,but then again,they would of Destroyed his character.
Cade Skywalker
They did get a darth Caudus; Kylo Ren
Bounty hunting is a complicated profession
Ask boba fett about it
maybe mando
Darth krayt, now that's a name I haven't hear in a long time..
Loved this video!! Cade Skywalker is by far my favorite legends character and his whole arc with Darth Krayt is my fav comic arc across the fandoms
I could listen to you talk for hours, and i have and i do. You have such a professional method to your videos, and it carries them along better than any other star wars lore channels, seriously, great job!
He can tell me a bed time story any night hahaha
if they chose darth krayt instead of palpatine in tros the sequels wouldnt be that terrible
Your god damn right & everyone would be happy besides SJWS
@@frostburn6784 no, no one would've been happy, I know star wars fan, they're always mad at everything whenever it comes to star wars
@@hellothere-bx8cf honestly bro if they aren’t happy then screw them at least this man krayt wasn’t a damn mary sue he really had to go through hell & back through the eras to get to his position even if he did lose to a Skywalker this seemed more impactful than the sequels like wtf is up with rey & kylo kissing like really JJ🤮
@@hellothere-bx8cf Naw we just everything Disney Star Wars.
Hey guys i am sure everyone watched spiderman far from home , in that ned has a lego death star, which means they seen star wars sure they saw prequels and sure spiderman shocked to see nick fury acted as a jedi master
How did just now realize this.
maybe in that universe Samuel L. Jackson also exists, and it's just a funny coincidence that Nick Fury looks a lot like him?
@@ncrawford5673 Hold up. Bruh...what a minute. My mind is blown. There's Padme too...I mean with multiverse stuff...that would be freaking crazy. There are other Star Wars references in marvel too. How could Peter not notice that Nick Fury is Mace Windu?? Maybe Nick Fury played Mace Windu lol
@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 Maybe Nick Fury was an actor for a bit and played Mace Windu
Krayt is probably the greatest character ever. He has went through many eras. Wish they could have made a book trilogy or even TV series about him.
He definitely was well over 100 plus years old by then.
I really wish we could see more of this guy
If there are more seasons of Kenobi, he could be a great villain, especially with the Tusken Warlord storyline. Who knows? Maybe he could gather the remnants of Palpatine's Sith Eternal to build up the One Sith.
Villain who needs to be brought back to big screen for us to take dark side seriously again.
Thanks for covering this Epic Legends Character
This video is dope thx for posting everyday u gave me a new love for Star Wars
Damn I love Legends!
YES YES! I love Krayt he's one of my favorite if not my FAVORITE Sith. Thank you for this video Theory!
Darth Krayt is one of my favs. Great work.
You should do what if Maul beat Obi Wan in Rebels
That is a good idea!
I loved the legacy comics! Wish they would make an open world game in this era.
Do “What if palpatine was a Jedi and yoda was a sith”
I hate "what ifs"... but I would watch the hell outta this one!
I don't understand why Disney threw out all of these legends characters. I have faith in John Favreau and Dave Filoni though.
Legends never die, I hope they'll let authors continue legends some day.

For real?

I've been trying to find more videos on this Sith Lord and the era, but aside from the few you have posted, I've had no luck so, doing some online shopping for the comics.
Star Wars theory you are without a doubt my favourite youtuber. You've helped me escape during this difficult time, and when I felt the worst I have for a while you have helped me escape. Thank you and May the Force be with you always
I like the Legends story even more than disney's vision of the star wars universe.
Thank you for all you do StarWarsTheory, we know u work so hard on ur videos, u deserve all the hype u get. Much love
I came here to announce that the republic will be reorganized to the first galactic empire. For a safe and secure society.
Nice videos man keep up the good work me and my dad watch you all the time
Fun fact: In the beyond shadows realm, a realm where you can only go with your spirit and the place where Krayt and Luke defeated Abeloth some parts of Krayts body
like his arm could not manifest completely because they where created by the Yuuzhan Vong
Truly amazing watching your videos, keep it up homie always watching your videos with interest
Darth Krayt is one sith I've been wanting to see on screen even more so than Revan.
- Chanceler Palpatine...making Sith lords is my speciality.
*Obi-Wan Cannabis*
Palpatine: This is the third one Obiwan...
Always one of my favorite EU characters, I still have his 3.75 inch figure
Great video! I'd like to know more about Cade Skywalker now lol
Awesome. I never knew much about Darth Krayt. Thanks for making this
2 years later and you finally did a vid about my fav Sith ! You sir are a scholar and a gentlemen
Great video
Do one about Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo
Please SW Theory, you are the only hope!
He already did
@@coggnus9656 i mean ten facts about him. He's done multiple Krayt videos before
@@ursaber Ah okay 👌
Darth Krayt: A sith legend
Sounds like movie I would love to watch.
@@rjofusetsudzin8011 Me As
Well
This guy was super cool though. I remember first reading about him in that first person Obi Wan book years ago
The Kenobi series would be a perfect opportunity to introduce Krayt and make him canon.
That was awesome, thanks!
Really love that your going over the legends content. Not enough of it on CZcams
Hey man, love your content
These ancient Jedi/Sith lords should get a show! In cinematic animation like the old republic...
Krayt isn't an ancient Sith, he's a sith post Sidious
Very interesting video Theory! Thanks slot bro!
I’ve always been a fan of Darth Krayt and the one sith. Not as much as Darth Caedus though.
In my opinion Darth Caedus is the most well written an deep charachter of all Star Wars
@Wes Bradley-Taubner Warb Null has cool armor but as a character has about as much as MaRey sue from the Sequel trilogy. Less annoying though.
i bloody love Darth Krayt, been reading Starwars Legacy by dark horse and he is badass!
Always people in the comments fighting about canon vs legends when we can just appreciate both and have more star wars to enjoy. Yes, the sequels are not the best imo, but the mandalorian, rogue one, rebels, and clone wars 08 are just great pieces of canon. As well as some of the new books like Dooku: Jedi Lost. Legends is also awesome with 03 clone wars, labyrinth of evil, the og thrawn trilogy, legacy of the force, and the vong war.
This is all super cool! Never knew anything about DK, thanks Theory!
I've been looking forward to this
2:56 Lmao, calling Anakin a "fine Tusken" is crazy 😅 that's hilarious.
I liked his second in command:
Darth Wyyrlok
i really would love for you to cover the full story, i have always loved the story of krayt and cade skywalker, a deathstick using jedi descendent of luke, honestly i feel like cade is the perfect union of vader and anakin in some ways, and a cool what if might be what if hett turned skywalker in to the council when he found out what he had done, or perhaps just told obiwan, i liked that old sith lords rejected krayt for his rule of one but in many ways thats what the bame order had come to by the means of plaguis and then palpatine, as after vaders defeat on mustafar palpatine or sidious always planned on ruling forever and never truly wishing to be overthrown, had he possed the unborb baby of leia in the dark empire saga i think that would have been a really cool story tragic and a threat not seen, it also would have been a way better story for rise of skywalker, having palpatine return via a clone, it was so close.
anyways your awesome as always theory
I hope they put him in the Obi Wan TV show...it makes so.much sense to add him
Their is so much great characters and stories that I hope to see on the big screen someday
Great video can you do Cade Skywalker next.
Will you be doing Cade Skywalker next since you covered Darth Krayt? I’d love it if you did!
You should make a fanfic about Pong Krell surviving the Umbara arc and becoming an inquisitor
We should've got him as the villain for ROS instead of resurrecting Palpatine
I'd always heard the name but didn't know much other than he was a tusken.. super fascinating..thank you!
And yet there isn’t a peep about him in the trilogies. This dude lived through the clone wars, the galactic empire, the fall of the empire, and yet I had no idea he existed until now
He doesn't exist in Canon.
Now compare this obi wan arc with the series.
Awesome video, by the way! Miss these comics.
Wait...
Since he goes back to Tatooine after order 66, could he make an appearance in the kenobi show? Would be awesome to see his origin, or his time on Tatooine after order 66 alongside kenobi!
Es posible, pero casi improbable. Hasta ahora no existe en el Canon de Disney, por lo que la audiencia casual lo vería como un personaje sacado de la manga.
Y de todos modos no tendría ningún impacto en la saga si lo introdujeran en la serie de Kenobi porque tendría que ser hechado a un lado para no contradecir las historias entre la trilogía original y las "secuelas", las cuales afirman que no hay Sith fuera de Sidious. Solo cultos como los Caballeros de Ren.
Y por ahora tampoco parece haber interés por contar historias después de las "secuelas", por lo que su reinado como Sith tampoco sería explorado.
He has such an amazing story. A Tuskin Jedi that was human that became one of the most powerful sith lords. Such a same disney made everything legends.
Id probably go by Darth Dominus, cause I dominate all my foes. Keep up the good work theory
Disney prolly looking at this for new source material.
Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week folks at the comedy club
You should do a video diving into why Obi-Wan was able to use force speed at the beginning of Episode 1 but didn't use it when he was cut off from Qui-Gon right before Maul killed his master.
12:57 - Awesome Video
But you forgot to mention his resurrection
I always wished they had made a Disney plus series or a movie about him he was epic
A duel between Krayt and Caedus would surely have been something to behold
@Wes Bradley-Taubner I think that out of pure irony, it'd be funny if all of them hit each other with so much lightning and saber strikes that no matter who came out on top they'd all just kill each other. Except me of course, dark transfer. Take that Bane.
@Wes Bradley-Taubner I think he'd have some counter. But there's no guarantee they'd be the last two standing either.
@Wes Bradley-Taubner Who would be the runner ups from 2nd to last to the first casualty?
