DarthParametric Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 So it appears there has been a retcon and the leader of this new Sith Empire is none other than Naga Sadow. I thought he was meant to be taking a nap on Yavin IV at this point, but apparently not according to this preview over at IGN - http://pc.ign.com/articles/922/922656p1.html
adamqd Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Hey, if anyone is gonna be retconned back to kick the Sith back into this era it's gonna be Naga! sounds cool
SW01 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I might have preferred someone new and original, but Sadow works well too!
LordOfTheFish Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Sounds like a boss raid to me! lol Maybe just a little.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Seems Revan failed. But other assumptions are also possible. Anyway, there were worse choices for the Emperor, Naga looks fair.
gstommylee Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 We don't know if the Emperor is naga or not. The article try to explain the history of the the True Sith Empire after the great hyperspace wars till 3600 bby and did a bad job. Naga Shadow is still dead as far as we know.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 ^ But then, with the Republic reeling from dozens of defeats, Naga Sadow did something else that wasn't expected; he offered peace terms. Only if they lied. The articles says it clearly.
TKA-001 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I guess the team forgot that Naga Sadow was killed by Freedon Nadd.
gstommylee Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 TKA-001 like i said we don't know if the leader of the Sith Empire is Naga Shadow. The article doesn't mention that nor bioware will mention if naga is the leader or not at this point. The article is not that well written in my opinion in explaining the events from 5000 to 3600
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Are you reading the same article we did?
gstommylee Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 yea and the hyperspace wars was around 5000bby TOR was 3600 naga shadow was killed 4400. IGN wrote the article like Naga Shadow was the leader of the Sith Empire in 3600. Bioware knows better about the history of Star Wars in that era than IGN.com does. IGN.com doesn't research when they write their articles. they trying to explain 1400 years of history in several paragraphs and skipping key events.
Fredi Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 It is possible ... and yeah, Naga Sadow was killed by Freedon Nadd, hmmm so it is possible that this empire is more of a continuation of Naga Sadow's empire with a new leader.
SW01 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'm wondering now if this was a mistake by ign.com. Clearly, canon shows Sadow is long dead by this point. Also, the official site and any official source seems to be taking great pains to keep the Emperor's identity unknown - surely if it was a recognisable, though relatively unimportant, character like Sadow, it would have been mentioned? It wouldn't be much of a revelation - I doubt the casual Star Wars gamer knows anything about Naga Sadow. EDIT: Just found a reference that doesn't inspire the greatest confidence when it comes to ign's knowledge of EU material - 'The Valley of the Tombs on Korriban'. Hmmm...
True_Avery Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I don't see it on the Bioware site. IGN can make slip ups, and this article is already full of storyline flaws from the beginning. Whoever wrote this obviously has a loose understanding of Old Republic lore. In short: I'll believe it when I don't hear it second hand on IGN.
Web Rider Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Even if the new Sith Lord is named "Naga Sadow" that doesn't necessarily mean that they actually are. It could just as easily be some new Sith lord playing the part to get the Sith under his control.
Sabretooth Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Haha nice, I love Naga from the comics. Having him return as the Emperor is a great idea in my books and helps tie in the plot with the EU well. I approve!
Ztalker Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Sounds like a boss raid to me! lol YES! He drops the Amazing Sith trinket of +5 vs Wookiee barber shops!

IGN.com doesn't research when they write their articles. they trying to explain 1400 years of history in several paragraphs and skipping key events. I'm not saying I like the explanation any more than you do. But stuff can be retconned. But yeah, if it proves false, then IGN has deliberatly spread false information there.
SW01 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 But yeah, if it proves false, then IGN has deliberatly spread false information there. I think it's more an oversight than a deceit. Someone has probably glanced at the wiki on the Sith Empire, latched on to Naga Sadow and the Great Hyperspace War, and assumed that it is the same thing. I suppose that can happen when you have several huge wars over the same thing in a 'short' timeframe.
Clone L68362 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I don't see how the story for this thing can make any sense at all...
