Writing About All Things Pop Culture
Hello, and welcome to the Revenge of the Fifth, my fellow Star Wars fans. Today we conclude my series on the Great Sith War Era of Star Wars, one of the best parts of the franchise and one that I think should be canon again.

With the help of the Jedi, the dark influence of the Sith was banished and peace brought to the planet. However, this was just the beginning of an even larger conflict. Today, we cover the rise of the Krath cult and the return of the Sith in full force.
In my last post for Star Wars: History Abridged, I summed up the origins of the Sith and why they hate the Jedi so much. Now, I talk about the first true conflict between the Jedi and Sith and how it cemented their rivalry forever: the Great Hyperspace War.
