For anybody saying that this boss fight is trash, he’s most likely playing it on the lowest difficulty just to get the content out. I promise you, he does way more damage, much more aggressive/relentless and harder to parry once it’s on Jedi Master and Grandmaster This fight was hella fun in harder difficulties.
Why do I feel that his fighting style was similar to starkiller from the force unleashed 2, especially with him throwing his lightsabers like starkiller

@@Bicurious_George Guys, don't be dumb. Why would it be Vader? Grievous led the attack on Dathomir that eradicated the night sisters. There is literally nothing to suggest that it was Vader.
"The Force... is a most POWERFUL ally..." I love that kind of dark, twisted version of Yoda's line from ESB. The makers put so much love and appreciation of Star Wars into this game.
Agreed. It would be very cool to see Malicos in the new clone wars season, or even a few comic book following what he was up to before the purge, his escape from order 66, and his journey to the dark side
Malicos is right the jedi fell long before the purge. They were so affraid of the darkside they refused to study it and snd it is what led to their downfall. Know your enemy. They were so arrogant to see they were no longer peacekeepers. They took part in a war and led armies not really peacekeepers.
How are they not peacekeepers? They tried their best to prevent the Separatists from conquering other planets and succeeded really well with the clones. They didn't enslave planets (at least not from my knowledge, maybe they have, I haven't read any comics or anything, just seen the movies and CW series) and were always on the side of good. Sure, there were times where some planets didn't want anything to do with them because of their views on the war and what-not, but I wouldn't say it is really their fault that they were wiped out. Honestly, how the RotS presents it is pretty shit considering you'd think a lot of the Jedi Masters would've reacted the same way Yoda and Jaro did but I guess not.
In my opinion the no emotion and attachment thing led them to their downfall.. if they would let the jedi have emotions and attachments and family then Anakin wouldn't have turned to the dark side.. order 66 would have happened anyway probably but the jedi order would have survived.. there is even a fanfic where Grevious finds out about the plan of Palpatine (and that he was manipulated by a chip in his brain to hate the jedi) and he attacks Corusant again during order 66 and saves most of the jedi, then the Jedi helps the CIS to free the galaxy from Palpatine
@@patiparnpinyopornpanish7857 so is that who she was referring to? The armored warrior who cut down her sisters. It wasnt a red lightsaber. Grievous had blue and green.
This is the perfect example of a Dark Jedi, a former Jedi fallen dark. He’s not a full blown sith, but he’s not a Jedi either. He’s more power hungry than a grey Jedi though, which makes him a dark Jedi. He’s an amazing character, I totally sympathize with him, being dogmatized into a religion since day 1 and seeing it crumble can do a lot to a man, I can only imagine. Crash landing on Dathomir, this poor man was seduced by the dark side, he used the dark side just like Sere, to survive, as he said: “these savages only value strength” he needed strength to survive. However, the power needed to dominate got to his head and he began using others for personal gain. Also, a great example of an anti-villain.
@@TheGodlyGamerMugen Well if hasn't mastered the dark side, then he is not a Sith yet. We saw no Force Lighting, he didn't use Force Choke or anything. He's just fallen from the light, maybe if he had a teacher.
@@TheGodlyGamerMugenhe’s not a Sith. A Sith wouldn’t want to build a new, better replacement for the Jedi. Sith don’t build orders. He knows little of Sith philosophy, he probably turned his own lightsaber red by acting out of hate. No force choke, no lightening. He’s dipping into the Dark Side and using hate and anger to fuel his powers- but he’s still using the same Jedi abilities he would have done before. He’s more fierce and primal, more power hungry than regular Jedi- but he’s not yet taken it too unnatural levels. Dark Jedi fits him perfectly.

The Nightsisters were hated by the Sith due to their neutral position in the Force. At this time, General Grevious was pretty dead. Darth Vader and one other is known as an armored warrior that represented the "NEW" Jedi Order which was just the Sith brandishing what was left of the good name.
@@ronfinnlr8529 maybe cuz it is him and you could have mentioned the series gotham where he plays the joker and is the 2nd actor to be both a jedi and the joker
The combat is not that fun tbh. I prefer story mode so i get to see the story and feel like an actual Jedi who cuts everyone into pieces in the process. Struggling with each stormtrooper does not feel badass.
Cal is the optimistic hero Luke should have been in the new movies. Luke in the Legends stories founded a Jedi Order that was allowed to grow beyond its predecessor’s mistakes. He made something new, something better.
Boy, this one was more cracked than a broken pot. I imagine Dathomir could make any Jedi lose their way, but I suspect it happened to him sooner because he wanted power. Cere did mention the Council were wary of him since he was a bit of a glory hound during the Clone Wars, which they were set against, so I'm not surprised he went nuts.
I wish we can see the canon path and everything down to the lightsaber though because this game had some questionable color choices that aren’t really a thing normally otherwise though yeah would really love a show could even be live action because of motion capture if they wanted
Whoever voiced him did an absolutely fantastic job. In terms of characters he was one of the better ones of this game Update: i have changed my mind after watching this video numerous times. He is easily my favorite character in this game and needs to be built upon
Correct, he would have had it hard and died pretty easy without stims restoring force. Don't even mention only having 3 stims....It was already a pain in the arse at the beginning of the game to only have 2 stims. Sure one would later figure out how to beat most enemies with nearly 2 hits but until then you sure get sucker punched into that respawn screen a lot.
He was using the Force for his own strive for power, not for peace or the common good. Cal was right: found the Jedi Order once more, but without the vanity of its last period.
You're correct about the first line but if i am correct you're talking about Luke's Jedi order, that also failed to keep the peace within the Republic in the movies, comics, legends, etc. The Sith and dark Jedi have dominated the galaxy numerous times but only failed due to the Jedi and their infighting. I will partly agree on you're next line but Cal is only restoring an order that is doomed to fail once again. No matter which time period, (old republic, clone wars, rise and fall of the empire, first order), he's only delaying the inevitable. I'm just saying that both of the Jedi do want change but Malicos understands that the Jedi have failed then and will fail again the future. That's my reason why he is right.

Starting to realise that although he never funfilled his potential as an actor after the role of Spartacus, Liam Mcintyre really becoming a go to voice actor with those insane vocal cords he has. Still think he can do way more than just voice acting though, still amazed by his insane performance at the finale
4:32 funny thing the night sisters particularly enslave night brothers and causes them to suffer and fight one another to the death against their will whilst experimenting them . Terrin Mellicos did nothing wrong
At 3:30. It pretty much sounded like Terrin Mellicos lied to her. She states that her misplaced loyalty allowed him to lead the Nightbrothers astray. Which sounds like something he did wrong in the first place?
@@TheDangerRoom1776 he probably did. Why would he help her kind after what they did to the Nightbrothers ? Sure they were kinda brutal but they were made this way by the harassment and animalistic treatment given to them by the more powerful Nightsister clans...
Noah Gephart He really wasn’t. This little boy knows nothing. I like the idea of the Jedi but they were honestly fools and they got themselves played 🤷🏾♂️
@@MJ-nu7pg The little boy meaning Cal? He says "maybe" he seems to see the errors of the prequel era jedi. He seems to understand the force more than the council when he decides to leave the fate of the force sensetive children to the force.
Pseudonymous Being I’m referring to the boy being wrong. After watching the clone wars we have a full view of how the Jedi operated and I’m saying they basically did It to themselves. But he was young when It happened so he wouldn’t have understood what the Jedi were really like. I could see why the older man was scoffing at him saying he wants to restore the order
@@MJ-nu7pg The Jedi as a physical Order were full of vanity in the end, but the Jedi philosophy is worth founding the Order again, on those principles. Just because it devolved in a mess, the original idea didn't. Cal's right.
Malicos was right about the problem Wrong about the solution His Becoming a War Hero in the clone wars caused him to desire power and fall from the Jedi much like Pong Krell. Even though he realizes that it was the war and pride which caused them to fall from the light his experiences in the war and on dathomir cause him to take a very cynical view of the force. He still feels entitled to be praised and celebrated. This is what led him to fall to the dark side.
There's a difference between recognizing your peoples fallibility and dismissing their virtues so you can embrace power. Cal is an example of the former, Malicos the latter.
I love this character so much, mostly because of the actor who played him Liam Mcintyre. The dude played Spartacus in the STARS TV series, which makes the whole dual blades thing make a lot of sense to me. And honestly now I want to see him play a good guy character Jedi
I really liked his character, like _really_ liked him. I often find that characters that use and/or struggle with the Dark Side are much more interesting. I also agreed with some of his points,and I wish they had done more with him. The Jedi fell from grace long before the Clone Wars. Blinded by their dogmatic and one-sided views, they couldn't see the real enemy coming until it was too late. The Jedi were the cause of their own downfall. It was time for something new, something that could surpass the Jedi. Although, what would surpass the Jedi would not be what Malicos wanted to create. While I agreed with some of what he believed in, like understanding and controlling the power of the Dark Side, he was still a madman in search of power. He was no Sith, but he might as well have been one. He let the darkness of Dathomir consume him instead of learning to control it, like he claimed. Whatever Order he would've built, would've been no better than say... the Knights of Ren. It is my belief that true power can be obtained by uniting the Light and Dark Side as one, which is why Malicos would fail. He would've ironically made the same mistake as the Jedi. But still, his character was interesting. And I hope that one day Disney will give us a TV Show/Movie about a Dark Side wielder, an interesting one like Malicos.
@@ryanb6614 Its quite easy, you dodge once to left then once to right depending on the position of the rock then dodge (roll twice) away from the 3 rocks, i got him to 35% at jedi grand master after 2 hours i gave up and it was hard even on jedi master i only had 3 stims though, should'v explored more i guess =)
Hard to believe that Taron Malicos is the second Spartacus from the tv series. And he’s also J.D Fenix in Gears of War, not to mention Weather Wizard in the Flash tv series. Liam McIntyre is an underrated actor.
The second phase of this fight really brings me home the Abyss Watchers due to the combo with the jump attack at the end. One of my favourites boss fights from the game.
I absolutely love this game. The lightsaber duels were intense but I always love trying to go at it with Darth Vader. Just battling him makes it the most fun.
Taron Malicos is like a composite of Maris Brood (Dark Jedi and living on a planet) and Rahm Kota (old man Jedi and a student) from The Force Unleashed games he also shares both characters aspects of being Order 66 survivors and being bosses you have to fight.
The Star Wars lore is so fucking interesting I love it so much. Respect to the developers for not making another money grabbing Star Wars game and instead further adding to the lore
Taron: "I'm here to kill you because I am evil!" Me: "I knew that for awhile." Taron: "Wait. How did you know?" Me: "The black rope." Taron: "That doesn't need anything?" Me: "Look most evil jedi walks around wearing black ropes, black capes or way too much eye liner. It like you all shop at the same store."
Protip for those having difficulty with this fight (not on story mode) force push is your friend...when he charges you or throws his lightsaber you can force push him out of that...you can also force push when he tries to throw rocks at you to throw them back... That being said however only force push when he is at full guard if you can because it takes a huge chunk of his guard and if you break it he will get back up at full guard without giving you an opportunity to inflict real damage
Its still crazy to me that the guy from Spartacus is voicing taron malicos iknew the minute i heard his voice i was going to like this chapter excellent character and voice actor 🔥🔥
Lmao at all the people who think Merrin is talking about Vader or Maul when there is a literal Clone Wars episode showing Grievous killing the Nightsisters. Y'all need to keep up on your lore.
@@trynox4fun259 IT doesn't have to ANY of of those games just because one is doing something doesn't mean the other should do the same, i swear that's the problem with Video games and other media these days.
Meeting Taron for the first time is like meeting a meth head version of Obi-Wan
He does love his death sticks.
So Obi-Wan DID want to buy some death sticks.
He kinda reminds of Chris Hemsworth if he was addicted to multiple drugs at once, idk why
What? Obi wan is nothing like this guy. Only similarity is that they both have beards
So true. Except no meth just nightsister dark magic.

Rey : " I can defeat the Emperor with two blue lightsabers."..
General Greivous : " I had six!!"....
Ryan Johnson
Battle Droid: “But General Greivous sir, can’t you only use four of them?”
A fine addition to my collection
10:25
“Strike me down!”
Get down on his knees
Me: * visible confusion *
LOL
Starting to realise that although he never funfilled his potential as an actor after the role of Spartacus, Liam Mcintyre really becoming a go to voice actor with those insane vocal cords he has.
Still think he can do way more than just voice acting though, still amazed by his insane performance at the finale
4:32 funny thing the night sisters particularly enslave night brothers and causes them to suffer and fight one another to the death against their will whilst experimenting them .
Terrin Mellicos did nothing wrong
Hell, he liberated our brothers...
At 3:30. It pretty much sounded like Terrin Mellicos lied to her. She states that her misplaced loyalty allowed him to lead the Nightbrothers astray. Which sounds like something he did wrong in the first place?
@@TheDangerRoom1776 he probably did. Why would he help her kind after what they did to the Nightbrothers ? Sure they were kinda brutal but they were made this way by the harassment and animalistic treatment given to them by the more powerful Nightsister clans...
@@TheDangerRoom1776 From what I seemed, he did nothing different. Just didn't improve their conditions as promised, and manipulated them.
But his light saber red so he bad
8:17 I mean hes not wrong
Noah Gephart He really wasn’t. This little boy knows nothing. I like the idea of the Jedi but they were honestly fools and they got themselves played 🤷🏾♂️
@@MJ-nu7pg
The little boy meaning Cal? He says "maybe" he seems to see the errors of the prequel era jedi. He seems to understand the force more than the council when he decides to leave the fate of the force sensetive children to the force.
Pseudonymous Being I’m referring to the boy being wrong. After watching the clone wars we have a full view of how the Jedi operated and I’m saying they basically did It to themselves. But he was young when It happened so he wouldn’t have understood what the Jedi were really like. I could see why the older man was scoffing at him saying he wants to restore the order
@@MJ-nu7pg The Jedi as a physical Order were full of vanity in the end, but the Jedi philosophy is worth founding the Order again, on those principles. Just because it devolved in a mess, the original idea didn't. Cal's right.
Malicos was right about the problem
Wrong about the solution
His Becoming a War Hero in the clone wars caused him to desire power and fall from the Jedi much like Pong Krell.
Even though he realizes that it was the war and pride which caused them to fall from the light his experiences in the war and on dathomir cause him to take a very cynical view of the force. He still feels entitled to be praised and celebrated. This is what led him to fall to the dark side.
There's a difference between recognizing your peoples fallibility and dismissing their virtues so you can embrace power.
Cal is an example of the former, Malicos the latter.
The funny part is that she says a giant metal machine cut her people down she’s talking about general grievous so that’s cool
Give me a like for that and someone should tell her that bc then she’s going to believe it was a Jedi
@@mr.nobody9856 stfu
Last Kayle EUW lmao

1:46 you fool, i was trained in your jedi arts by count dooku
The way of the beard is strong in this one
I Heard That From The General Robot
8:53 you can literally see the quality drop lmfao
I cant imagine it's easy to make a smooth transition between cutscene and gameplay level graphics
@@erikeste7177 I want to agree with you, but we've had smooth cutscene to gameplay transitions for years now, look at GTA 5.
@@year1thorn845 that's because GTA 5 uses the same graphics in cut scenes and game
Dude lost all of his shading
Does it thru the whole game you notice it quite bad rendering goes in cutscenes aswell like there half finished
7:34 Me when Cal Kestis comes back in the Mandalorian
I love this character so much, mostly because of the actor who played him Liam Mcintyre. The dude played Spartacus in the STARS TV series, which makes the whole dual blades thing make a lot of sense to me. And honestly now I want to see him play a good guy character Jedi
1:43 the way he changes and speaks is so badass for some reason (also he sounds like someone from GoT?)
ItsMarcy jorah Mormont? Also kinda sounds like talion from Shadow of Mordor/War
@@rjs2077 true he sounds like both!
Watch the Spartacus series to see more bad ass shit from him
The actor played Spartacus (From season 2 of Spartacus and onwards)
He could’ve been far cooler.
Why didn’t he used any nightsister magic?
All these talks of power from him and Merrin were for nothing.
ZCHER MAN it takes a long time to learn those powers, he was just learning the dark side to be able to tap into them.
It’s sourced from the dark side, but it’s a special set of powers derived from the power within the planet. Watch the clone wars again, it explains.
He fights as if he’s still on the light side
IIRC the main reason why the sith hated them, was the nightsisters remained neutral as much as possible.
ZCHER MAN not for nothing the mention of his power was to persuade him, he might’ve not had any power or was so cocky he thought he didn’t need it
Correction: former rogue jedi. Hes been consumed by the darkside for years.
I really liked his character, like _really_ liked him. I often find that characters that use and/or struggle with the Dark Side are much more interesting. I also agreed with some of his points,and I wish they had done more with him. The Jedi fell from grace long before the Clone Wars. Blinded by their dogmatic and one-sided views, they couldn't see the real enemy coming until it was too late. The Jedi were the cause of their own downfall. It was time for something new, something that could surpass the Jedi.
Although, what would surpass the Jedi would not be what Malicos wanted to create. While I agreed with some of what he believed in, like understanding and controlling the power of the Dark Side, he was still a madman in search of power. He was no Sith, but he might as well have been one. He let the darkness of Dathomir consume him instead of learning to control it, like he claimed. Whatever Order he would've built, would've been no better than say... the Knights of Ren. It is my belief that true power can be obtained by uniting the Light and Dark Side as one, which is why Malicos would fail. He would've ironically made the same mistake as the Jedi.
But still, his character was interesting. And I hope that one day Disney will give us a TV Show/Movie about a Dark Side wielder, an interesting one like Malicos.
Gotta love when you stop moving and the enemy just sits there looking at you. Really ratchets up the tension...
@Caramel Johnson that because he was. He is not taking much damage at all.
Reckoning I played it on Jedi master & went thru 5 stims & finished him with 1hp. Really hard to fight & almost impossible to dodge those stupid rocks
@@ryanb6614 Its quite easy, you dodge once to left then once to right depending on the position of the rock then dodge (roll twice) away from the 3 rocks, i got him to 35% at jedi grand master after 2 hours i gave up and it was hard even on jedi master i only had 3 stims though, should'v explored more i guess =)
@@ryanb6614 similar for me I was on Grand Master difficulty and he was definitely not easy if he landed a hit
Hard to believe that Taron Malicos is the second Spartacus from the tv series. And he’s also J.D Fenix in Gears of War, not to mention Weather Wizard in the Flash tv series. Liam McIntyre is an underrated actor.
The second phase of this fight really brings me home the Abyss Watchers due to the combo with the jump attack at the end. One of my favourites boss fights from the game.
I absolutely love this game. The lightsaber duels were intense but I always love trying to go at it with Darth Vader. Just battling him makes it the most fun.
Taron Malicos is like a composite of Maris Brood (Dark Jedi and living on a planet) and Rahm Kota (old man Jedi and a student) from The Force Unleashed games he also shares both characters aspects of being Order 66 survivors and being bosses you have to fight.
This dialogue is fantastic.
Techno Viking is back, and he dual wields
Cal: I might be the last of my kind.
Luke: "Am I a joke to you?"
He wasn't a Jedi yet.
Luke was like 5 at this point, lol
He only become a full Jedi after ep 6.
And Obi-Wan is still in hiding and looks very much like his revenge of the sith self during this time.
She's totally talking about Greivus
Me: "Is this a game or a movie"? Everyone else: YES!
Taron has two lightsabers. He is impossible to be stopped. He is even more powerful than the Emperor!
@everyone No way can he beat the Emperor. He barely defeated Cal Kestis!
I felt that when he said I know what it feels like to lose everything.
Taron was such badass character and well acted. Wish we got more of him.
8:10, from this point you can say what you like... but Malicos is right
First clip I've watched from the jedi fallen order and its 30 times more interesting than any of the bullshit Disney put out RIP star wars saga.
JET the mandalorian series is really good i give disney some credit but yes the last star wars movies been garbage
b spoon I’ve enjoyed the last movies so far, but I can understand the grievances. Hopefully Rise of Skywalker can wrap up the trilogy well.
A: This is Disney Star Wars
B: The media they've put out are all good apart from TLJ which overshadows the decent stuff like Mandalorian or Solo
The crazy dude from God of war makes his return.
Sven He was Spartacus in that TV show. Did phenomenal
"So, weary traveller. You seek to enter these ruins! Many have tried. None returned."
The Star Wars lore is so fucking interesting I love it so much. Respect to the developers for not making another money grabbing Star Wars game and instead further adding to the lore
Taron Malicos is such an interesting character, and badass. I would love to see more of him
The voice actor has to be the dude that played Spartacus after Andy's passing.
Similar for sure
It is!
Yea it’s him for sure
It is, good ear
@@dariontapscott207 thanks bud
Is it wrong that when the scene, where he offers you to join him. I really badly wanted to be allowed to join him.
To be honest, Taron had more personality then most in the game. I would have loved to see a comic on him, or a movie or two.
Yeah was thinking if the game would've been in RPG format that would've been a cool pathway.
But Disney not allow you join Dark Side.
You're talking about a KOTOR experience...
pirotess2 It’s a story based game about a Jedi, what did you expect?
”WHO are you? I am spartacus!
"No I am Spartacus."
I thought it was him! Such a distinctive voice ha!
The other Spartacus
Taron: "I'm here to kill you because I am evil!"
Me: "I knew that for awhile."
Taron: "Wait. How did you know?"
Me: "The black rope."
Taron: "That doesn't need anything?"
Me: "Look most evil jedi walks around wearing black ropes, black capes or way too much eye liner. It like you all shop at the same store."
Taron: "Well, then better run, before I strangle you with my black Rope!
I am not even sure why I carry so much of it."
General Grevious mentioned 6:27
Well, Malicos is right. The Jedi fell before the purge and both EU and NU confirm that merely bringing back the old Jedi order will not do.
Luke's Legends New Jedi Order: Am I a joke to you?
Protip for those having difficulty with this fight (not on story mode) force push is your friend...when he charges you or throws his lightsaber you can force push him out of that...you can also force push when he tries to throw rocks at you to throw them back...
That being said however only force push when he is at full guard if you can because it takes a huge chunk of his guard and if you break it he will get back up at full guard without giving you an opportunity to inflict real damage
i got stuck on this dude for like 3 hours, the next day my friend gets up to this point in the story then one shots him
10:47 r we not going to ignore the fact how awesome that part of the duel was?
4:10. Oh, I love that effect to her voice. Reminds me of Mother Talzin.
This game is better than sequel trilogy ever could be
Its still crazy to me that the guy from Spartacus is voicing taron malicos iknew the minute i heard his voice i was going to like this chapter excellent character and voice actor 🔥🔥
Lmao at all the people who think Merrin is talking about Vader or Maul when there is a literal Clone Wars episode showing Grievous killing the Nightsisters. Y'all need to keep up on your lore.
This mans has no shirt and is taking blow after blow from a light saber like how
Tris The o mighty the farce
Even a shirt wouldn’t have done much, they cut through steal.
Did ever play the TFU? IT'S A VIDEO GAME!
@@tonyknighton4019 You ever saw Mordhau or For Honor combat system? Hmm?
@@trynox4fun259 IT doesn't have to ANY of of those games just because one is doing something doesn't mean the other should do the same, i swear that's the problem with Video games and other media these days.
Damn that boss fight was hard to watch. Swing, swing, swing, spinning swing, repeat
Same thing as force unleashed lmao
Literally any boss fight ever
Jubilation every boss fight in any game is basically like that. Stick to fucking fortnite you moron

SUCH A BADASS
Taron is a greatly written character
This game has so many great characters
Cal: While I'm here I can find out who this Wanderer really is!
Wanderer: Taron Malicos!
Cal: ... I have no idea who this is.
This game would have made a better movie than the crap we've had foisted upon us.
It's not that great if you squeeze it into 2 hours. There's not even a star war battle.
Lol I knew this was boring
@@Radb707
Still far better than cAsInO aNd SpAcE hOrSe
Yes this wouldve been a really good movie
I felt more connected to these characters than any in the sequel trilogy
6:57...to feel so desperate that you’re right and yet fail nonetheless. Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same
UnexpectedThanos
This really needs the background music in order to make it a great battle scene. Cal’s theme really empathizes his growth in power and determination.
Malicos: "BACK JEDI!"
The Jedi: 12:00
Malicos is one of my favorite characters, and everything he said about the Jedi i agree with
'Cuz I'm a wanderer...a wanderer! I roam around-around-around-around
That’s a long cutscene.
KnightWolf Oh
Yeh neary as long as the on from halo 4
Lol didnt you find it odd that in one scene hes i a robe and the next hes shirtless and in a differwnt location. ;) use the force next time.
Prototype 81 nah because I was just skipping through looking for gameplay.
At least it's a good one
taron was a badass hope we get him in future movies and the sequel to this game i wouldve joined him his a badass
As soon as I saw this guy, I was like "yeah, I can't trust you." Dathomir has that effect. Turns out I was right.
Malicos wasn't exactly wrong about the Jedi, doesn't mean he isn't a nut job, but he has his moments of clarity.
