If you want to hide a world putting out the story that it was destroyed is a good way to stop people looking for it.Though as episode 3 tells us, only At Attin survived

Old Republic.The obvious interpretation is plot hooks for a sequel. Are those worlds really destroyed? Who can go round destroying worlds when the Jedi at the height of their power.
I’ve not played the whole game, but there is a hidden high republic world in Jedi Survivor.
“Great Work” sounds sinister, even though the chancellor behind it was benevolent (or where they?)
Again, I point out that that use of Old Republic is out-of-universe. In universe people use “Old Republic” to refer to the pre-Empire Republic.Old Republic.
This means the period where the Old Republic was at constant war with the Sith Empire. I can see them hiding worlds during this period and the Sith destroying them.
The High Republic period, which I have largely ignored, began 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin when the Republic and Jedi ended the Sith Empire and the Jedi agreed to become the Republic's peacekeepers. It would not have been thousands of years and Maz is old enough to have witnessed it.Again, I point out that that use of Old Republic is out-of-universe.

“Great Work” is a term associated with the period that out-of-universe is called the High Republic.
At-Atan may have been isolated for hundreds of years, but it’s unlikely to have been thousands.
The sith are still lurking in the shadows, so can’t be ruled out. But it would be more interesting if it was the Jedi (there are ways it could be done without loss of life).If it is the period of Chancellor Soh, then it is 240 years and I guess if they are using High Republic, then the Nihil destroyed the other Jewels
I didn’t get past the first book either. I think it needed to focus on hubris and decay, but couldn’t get past the idea that the Jedi where big dam heroes and the nihil where nothing but one-dimensional villains.I read the first book and it could not capture my interest in the same way as the Old Republic or Legacy eras

I've kinda indulged in that irony before. Maybe for the first time in another forum a long time ago. Apparently in the old Expanded Universe there were tales that before them splitting, the proto-jedi/sith practiced both sides of the light, taking turns to meditate in special places connected to the Dark side or Light side whenever they favored one or the other too much.Yeah, it's kind-of ironic really. The Sith want to impose ironclad order upon the galaxy, yet they're inherently chaotic in that they can't countenance any significant competition - thus the whole Rule of Two, with its built-in expectations of mutual scheming and betrayal.
Meanwhile the Jedi are guardians of freedom in the galaxy, yet they're inherently regimented and controlled, not daring to freely express their emotions.
It’s not the whole side though. It’s really only Vader who wants to use the dark side to bring order to the galaxy. Palpatine wants self-aggrandisement. This sith in The Acolyte are after revenge, and company. Sith can have any goal, so long as it’s selfish.But yeah, it made no sense to me that the side using emotion was also the side of "control everything"
