I honestly love the non Jedi and Sith force sensative cultures in the universe. They're just so interesting.

I love the Nightsisters and the Witches of Dathomir in a whole, their "Magic" is fascinating and their worshipping of the Sister and Brother in their own ways and drawing on their power is cool, it reminds me of Sith Magic.

Really miss the light side witches that's yet another thing legends will probably always have over the new canon ... more diverse light-side orders

The Nightsisters have always been one of my favorite parts of Star Wars. I have been wanting a series based around them and Ventress forever now. Maybe someday…

I would love to have seen a book devoted to the Nightsisters in a similar manner to the Jedi and Sith handbooks.

One of the things I’ve always loved about Star Wars is how different species and cultures are portrayed, even in cultures that many would consider to be more dark side leaning or “evil” there are plenty of differences between individuals and different groups within the society.

The Force Magic they use is most intriguing, as well as how they worship the Celestials like the Son and Daughter, both as proper interpretation of the Force.

Absolutely loved The Courtship of Princess Leia. It was a really exciting novel (especially if you read the X-wing books), and it was nice to show more about the types of Dathomiri witches that were present. Also, Han Solo was so hateable there.

I just bought Empire at War like 2 weeks ago and noticed that Nightsisters were in it. I thought that they were made by the Clone Wars but I’m surprised how long they’ve existed.

Something interesting in the Dawn of the Jedi series: we see two humans, a woman and a man, riding Rancors on Dathomir millenia before the Jedi even existed. They and the other force sensitives of Dathomir were taken by the Tho Yor to form the Jed'aii order. It seems its been retconned that Allya rediscovered how to tame Rancors, and restored the tribal society of Dathomir rather then inventing it. Except this past society was more egalitarian.

The nightsisters are such an interesting clan, so glad you made a video on them!

No offense to the Nightsisters, but when you are led by a Lovecraft horror who literally gave birth to a Sith Lord that caught Darth Sidious attention, and can bring back the dead as zombies which you know that the Force will probably consider it to close to the Dark Side considering you are calling to the dead to your beck and call.

The night sisters were supposed to look evil? I always viewed them as a neutral force that, as long they were left alone, wouldn't care about what happens on other planets.

...You know, compatibility between the two iterations is *really, really hard* to compute even with our advanced Multiversal research and dossier parameters. Edit: Hope you guys explore the purported past of the Kwa and even the Gree when it came to them being the past galactic superpowers and by extension the guardians of said galaxy (aided by the enigmatic Celestials, no less) against the forces of chaos and evil, especially the infamous Bedlam Spirits led by the wily Tilotny.

A lot of Star Wars original concept designs look fantastic. I'm glad they used Maul's original look for Mother Talsin's

I would love to hear more about the good side of the Witches, i had no idea there were other witches than the Nightsisters on Dathomir until you mentioned them here.

Luke and Jacon was both able to use the Blood Trail technice in Legends. Also Telen ka djos mother was a witch from dathomir and she was the queen of Hapes, this was also a people where the females was in charge, and the male was lower on the social order.

Once again Legends has such a richer and far deeper lore than DisCan.

Looking forward seeing more nightsisters in future of star wars

I recently watched all the Nightsisters CW episodes so this is really interesting to learn about! I'd love to see more of the non-Nightsister Dathomiri witches tbh

The Night Sisters are badass and powerful and by the way I personally like to use in Cantina Battles & Galactic Battles 100%!

So that zombie army summoned during the Battle of Dathomir was actually created by using a Light Side ability? Well, that's something I never thought I'd hear. But I suppose it makes sense, as seen in other media's like The Loud House, The Owl House, and so on, summoning a ghost, spirit, zombie, or whatever to help isn't always used for evil purposes, sometimes it is a force for good(pun intended, lol).

I love this so much, especially the fact that the Nightsisters tapped into both aspects of the spirit world for balance! Their two deities being connected to the Son & the Daughter, such a great callback & connection! Hopefully we'll get more Nightsister content in the future because they're too interesting to ignore! Great video 👏🏻

Good summary, but you left out the other infinity gate users: the Gree. The way I heard it, the Kwa were at war with the Gree who were using the Rakatta as slaves. The Kwa taught the Rakatta how to use the force, but the Rakatta savagery was beyond anything the Kwa expected and the Rakatta completely genocide the Gree. Ashamed, the Kwa retreated to Dathomir, gave up their technology and intelligence and became the blue valley lizard people.

I love that romance between the Jedi Cal and the Nightsister Mirren. It’s sweet to see that a Nightsister can love.

The Nightsisters and Dathomir as a whole is my favorite corner of the StarWars universe. Keep it up!

If the Nightsisters ended up killing Count Dooku, how will this affect Sidious' plan?

The Nightsisters or just the Witches of Dathomir in general were always a cool concept I liked from the Legends canon and the new canon

I’d love to see the night sisters in live action.

one thing i've noticed is people tend to give the nightsisters less credit when it comes to power. there's an impression that the nightsister's form of force usage was weaker than what we see comparatively in the sith when that's just not the case. in the comics mother talzin was able to bring down dooku (and nearly tortured him to death) and match sidious' power. she only lost because general grievous stabbed her with his lightsabers during said fight. like the nightsisters' magic is no joke and definitely not weaker than the sith's use of the force.

I think the whole magic aspect in star wars was interesting I assume that magic in the star wars universe was a branch off of the force but still connected and as powerful as the force.

While i can appreciate the old force dichotomy of light being balance and dark being chaos, i like the canon better. Light is creation and protection, while dark is destruction and weakening. Both are needed for balance and progress. Too much dark, and the galaxy becomes a literal hellscape. Too much light, and the galaxy becomes stagnant, never changing, never evolving, just vegetating. Light and dark in equal amounts, and the galaxy evolves, and so do it's inhabitants.

0:01 Mother Talzin voiced by Rita Repulsa from Mighty Morphing Power Rangers show.

I loved their depiction in The Courtship of Princess Leia.

Soo too easy to commune with Aliya's spirit and ask her what she meant on her deathbed.

So Dathomir was a Republic penal colony full of dangerous animals... like Australia

2:00 the infinity gate powered by powerful stones called the infinity stones witch were sent to another dimension to keep the rakata from obtaining such power

As a guy who didn't fit the traditional role of being masculine in the 80s and 90s. I felt like I was a witch and really never could be tamed or controlled. The Force Witches of Dathomir including the Nightsisters. I'd be a rarity on Dathomir

The nightsisters of Dathomir are the Star Wars version of Wicca and a feminist dream.

so this is the Star Wars version of the Amazons from DC Comics. Got it.

I’m working on Jedi Fallen Order for the first time. I have the sequel preordered but I had this game on PS4 originally and when I got a PS5 I continued my game from there. I ran into Merrin briefly on Dathomir. I’ve never heard of the Night Sisters before. I’ve probably seen them in Star Wars Rebels and just forgot. I want to learn about their history and about their magic. Is there a book devoted to that? I don’t want to buy a book that has one section about the Night Sisters, because I feel like it would be a waste of money if I don’t read the rest of the book.

star wars galaxies was where i was introduced to the nightsisters and the witches their founder came from the singing mountain clan. in swg on dathomir there was a nightsister village and a singing mountain clan mountain village and 4 or 5 battlegrounds with active fighting between the two. never tried helping the nightsisters but there was questline where you could help the singing mountain clan fight the nightsisters. me and my rifleman buddy used to farm nightsister elders.

Thanks for making this. It was awesome. I've always wanted to know more ever since being introduced to Merrin in Jedi Fallen Order

I would like to point out that the draw their ability to raise the dead from the sister.Necromancy confirmed as a possible Jedi power y'all

I like it when lesser known subjects of Star Wars are talked about.

Mother Talzans Covent seems to have been more of a cult.

The Zabraks are strong & powerful and by the way I personally like Savage Oppress & Darth Maul

I'd like to hear more, both because the topic of Dathomiri witches is relatively niche and because I value the informed opinion of the studious Geetsly's team.

I thought the Witches of Dathomir was just the Nightsisters. And I also thought they existed around 1000 years prior to the Clone Wars. I've learned a lot about them in one video. Edit (After watching Ahsoka Episode 6): And I now I know they really came from another galaxy far far away.

I prefer the nightsisters from the EU. Dathomir was badass before filoni screwed it up.

The Senate’s culture is so deep that it can reach ANY planet’s core.

They weren’t mistaken there needs to be a balance of light and dark or it causes a wound in the force

TCW portrayed Dathomir and the Nightsisters very poorly.

10,000+ years, and Dathomir still has not healed from the ravaging at the hands of the Rakata. I fear that it does not want to.

Did Geetsly get a new mic? I must've missed it cause he sounds so different, love the content btw!

No mention of Charal of Endor?

Apparently retroactively speaking Bird-lady from the ewok movies was made to be a Nightsister

Man, the Rakata are jerks :/

Hermit state that couldn't put it's weapons where it's mouth was

The Nightsister and Dathomir was the best of Star Wars Galaxies. I spent weeks on the planet, and despite at the time of the gaming being out in the early 2000s and more Iconic planet/moons like Endor, Yavin 4, Naboo, and Tatooine being in the game, it was Dathomir and Lok that took my heart and interest. When clone wars came out and they confirmed Ventress was not only back, but was know confirmed as a Witch of the Night Sister Clan of Dathomir that was a massive boost in my interest.

I think it would be great if you could delve deeper into the lore of dathomir and the night sisters. I would like to see more them in the future thanks and may the force be with you, always…

Fascinating video, very much enjoyed it!! I’d love to know more as to the Jedi’s perspective on the witches of Dathomir, and the Sith for that matter, though I feel the Jedi’s perspective is a particularly interesting question given their low tolerance for other users of the Dark Side when it comes to the Night Sisters.

The Witches think their males are inferior…..hmmmmmmm, why does that sound familiar?

I think empire at war first introduced the night sisters and dathomir or maybe some comics i didnt know about

Imagine beating a species so hard in a war, that they don’t even go back into the stone age but return to fock1ng Monke

Seems like the knight sisters had the only presence throughout the clone wars era. Even exploring the planet in fallen order, everything is night sister. So many questions....no answers....

So, essentially, Dathomir brought the Force itself to the wider galaxy? Or at least, teaching about it?

Ah legends StarWars. When even the clearly obvious bad guys were still morally ambiguous.

Love from a CoreysDatapad and Vaush fan!

Ironic that you uploaded this now I’m listening to Fate Of The Jedi Audiobooks.🤣

I am very happy to be filled to the Brio of star wars lore I could never find out alone. Thankyou

I believe Clone Wars TV show made it clear that more than one clan or branch of Night Sisters love on the planet. Ventress was just part of one section

I, too, love the Nightsisters.

Dathomir = Star Wars Australia, used by the biggest power around as a penal colony and every there will kill you if you aren’t careful.

The fact that you don’t have more Nightsister/Dathomir Witch videos 😭😭😭

Can u do something on what the galaxy is like when the time is set to 10000 light years after the death of Ray papatine-skywalker has passed on her gifts to the force

Merrin will forever be best Dathomir waifu.

this is an amazing video is it based on any of the books, if so, which ones?

Where can I read more about the light sider withes of Dathomir?

Mother talzin: "arise maul reborn son of dathomir."

I love the night sisters always thought they were so bad ass, I wish I was one lol.

Wish this was used in Acolyte

I do not mean for this comment to be negative. I am just pointing out something I have noticed. Whenever the particular narrator for this exact video is on the channel 2 out of 5 times, the lore is inaccurate. I like this narrator's voice and accent, but the 40% rate of inaccurate lore is noticeable. Other than that, I very much enjoy the content. Thanks for reading this, and have a lovely day. :)

more information about the other Dathomir clans would be cool

So I heard the night sisters were total freaks in the sac

amazing, would love to see more

Blew me away with the reason for their tattoos. Such cool lore.

Fascinating, thank you.

8:50 Are you saying that The Je'daii (Force Sensitive Order on Tython that became The Jedi Order over time) are dark siders, then? Like, the order that became The Light-Side Adherent Jedi Order was on the level of The Sith, or these Nightsisters? Bantha Poo-doo! Not all Force Orders in the galaxy (Or, specific individuals) can neatly fit this view that you can ONLY be Light Side, or Dark Side, and NOT both. Examples: The Je'daii Order, Revan/Darth Revan, Darth Marr, Anakin Skywalker (Not as Darth Vader), Witches of Dathomir, Kyle Katarn, Mara Jade Skywalker, and Cade Skywalker (At times). •Je'daii: They lived on a world that had two moons (Ashla, and Rural Australian *COUGH COUGH* Oh sorry, Bogan COUGH COUGH), one that embodied The Light Side; the other, The Dark Side (Don't listen to The Big Meanies George Lucas, or Drew Karpheshyn, anyone down under. They don't understand you very well), so, some symbolism of the relationship of Light, Dark, and Balance was going to arise inevitably. Plus, since any imbalance in The Force (Anyone being a bit too Light, or Dark for The Force's taste) could cause Apocalyptic natural disasters on Tython if they were not careful, people NEEDED to practice both Light, and Dark, out of a need for survival. And they lived 10,000 years this way in (Relative, since there were some major conflicts that broke out, but none that got started on Tython itself, as far as I know) peace. To reference Avatar: The Last Airbender: Then, everything changed when The Rakata Attacked. This Evil, Fully Dark Side-Oriented Empire came to Tython, caused much pain, and suffering for The Je'daii, and the rest of The Tython System. Afterwards, The Je'daii were forever scarred by what happened during their fight against The Dark Side Invaders, which led to some wanting to abandon The Dark Side completely, but others did not, which started The Decade Long Force Wars (The First of countless conflicts between Light, and Dark), that The Light Side Je'daii eventually won, though all the Force-fighting left Tython uninhabitable. They became The Jedi Order, moved to Ossus, and the rest is history. Basically, if The Je'daii were Adam, and Eve; The Rakata were the snake that tempted them with their Force-Sabers (Like the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good, and Evil), and brought suffering on the galaxy forevermore, as a result. They lived in relative harmony, then those snail-eyed serpents corrupted them. So, there's proof that such practices could work, and hopefully in a less urgent Out-of-a-need-for-survival sort of way, as long as there aren't Satan-like forces to screw it all up. The other ones, I will explain in another comment, or so, since this one is LOOOOONG.

It's just sad that interpretations of the Nightsisters and other Witches of Dathomir done in our current era would rarely be without the feminist contemporary standard which does nothing but mutilate an otherwise great concept which did so much to extend the mystique of the Force and beefed up it's lore. Star Wars is in desperate need for brand new, grand tales but it's rare that you get one with that "canon" label. OH WELL.

I still believe that the light and the dark side were meant to be used in tandem and anyone who says otherwise has been corrupted by Jedi lies

Are the infinity gates of the Qua the same as the World Between Worlds from rebels? Would make lots of cool connections between legend and canon.

Need more!

1:38 is that a Berserk reference?

Killing them off was one of the biggest storytelling mistakes of The Clone Wars.

Nightsisters are beautiful........ 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This shows how Rakatan Empire was powerfull.

Great vid bro.😺

Very interesting video.

i gotta admit, i love them
