Overview

This video provides a comprehensive timeline of the creation and pre-Republic history of the Star Wars galaxy, drawing heavily from the "Supernatural Encounters" book, which is considered "pseudo canon" within Legends continuity. It begins with the creation of the universe by the Supreme Maker, the emergence of the Celestials, and the early development of life, including humans on the planet of Erit. The video then details the corruption of some Celestials by the dark side, the subsequent Cosmic Wars, the creation of various species by the Celestials, and the eventual rise of humans as a dominant force in the galaxy. It delves into the origins of the Sith, the Bedlam Spirits, and the early conflicts that shaped the galaxy long before the Republic's formation.

Key takeaways

• Primordial Creation: The universe began with the Supreme Maker, who created light and sound, leading to the formation of stars and the sentient Celestials. The Force was also created as an energy to shape life.
• Early Life and Conflict: Humans originated on the planet Erit and lived peacefully with the Celestials until some Celestials fell to the dark side, leading to the first Cosmic Wars.
• The Firstborn Species: The Celestials created 80 unique species known as the "Firstborn," each with special abilities and intended to embody the four precepts: love, justice, power, and wisdom. Many of these species are now relegated to myth and legend.
• The Bedlam Spirits and Corruption: The Celestial Watsek, fearing another fall to darkness, created four "Bedlam Spirits" embodying negative traits. His plan backfired, unintentionally seeding the new galaxy with darkness.
• The Rise of the Infinite Empire and Jedi: The introduction of hyperspace travel and the discovery of the Th o Yor ships led to the formation of early civilizations, including the Jedi Order on Tython and the Rakata's Infinite Empire.
• The Sith and the Dark Side: The Sith Purebloods, originating from Corban, were already adept in the dark side, predating many other galactic events and influencing the galaxy's descent into darkness.
• Galactic Conflicts and the Republic's Birth: The galaxy endured numerous wars, including the Emperion Wars, the War of the Temporal Planes, and conflicts involving the Sith and Rakata. These events eventually led to the formation of the Galactic Republic in 2553 BBY, marking the beginning of a new age.

Yes, the video discusses the Bedlam Spirits, including Tilotny, and her children.

According to the transcript:

• Tilotny and the Bedlam Spirits: Watsek, a Celestial, created four Bedlam Spirits, with Tilotny being one of them. These spirits were intended to embody aspects of the four precepts but instead embodied negative traits due to Watsek's own conflicted state. Tilotny, in particular, became vain, selfish, and deceitful, seeking worship and control.
• Tilotny's Children: Tilotny, with the help of another spirit, S, created her own offspring: Tyo Jem (the Father of Shadows), Theera (the Blasphemous Herald of the Perpetual Night), Ura'drill (who would become the Soul Worm), and N'nul (the Unrestrained Growth). These offspring were born of darkness and power and went on to cause widespread destruction and terror in the galaxy, embodying the negative traits their mother represented.
