      1. I actually had to look up that Sith, as I thought the name sounded fake 😉

        How are they pulling them into canon- thru the Disney-approved books?

      2. You thought Darth Millennial was fake!?!?!?! Ha, that is funny. Yeah, he was very much real in the EU. They retconned him in some interesting ways throughout the EU after his first appearance.

        So, they are doing very subtle things here and there that establish some (not all) of these Dark Lords. For example, Darth Andeddu is name dropped in an issue of Return to Vader’s Castle and Exar Kun gets a mention in the sourcebook Gadgets and Gear.

  1. Wild. I am reading Darth Plageous right now. The Sith really thought they were the movers and shakers. Very good use of poetry.
