Exegol is the hidden world of the Sith, a mysterious and distant planet deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, as portrayed in the Star Wars universe.
The Enigmatic Exegol
Exegol first appeared in “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker” (2019). The planet is characterized by its stark landscapes, raging storms, and eerie blue lightning. It is hidden from most galaxy maps, making it a perfect sanctuary for the Sith to conduct their dark activities away from the prying eyes of the Jedi and the larger galaxy.
The Dark Throne of the Sith
Exegol houses an ancient Sith Citadel, a gigantic structure filled with statues, carvings, and the sinister trappings of the Sith Order. The centerpiece of the citadel is a dark throne, a chilling manifestation of the Sith’s obsession with power and control.
The Final Order
Exegol is also the location from which Emperor Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious, broadcasts his message of revenge to the galaxy, revealing his return and promising the rise of the Final Order. Hidden on Exegol is a massive fleet of Star Destroyers, each capable of destroying planets, symbolizing the terrifying scale of the Sith’s ambition for galactic domination.
Our Thoughts
Exegol, the hidden world of the Sith, adds a layer of mystery and dread to the Star Wars universe. Its introduction in “The Rise of Skywalker” offers a glimpse into the secretive and dangerous world of the Sith, their ambitions for power, and their dark connection to the Force. This remote, foreboding planet is the embodiment of the Sith’s lingering shadow on the galaxy, a reminder of the dark side’s persistent presence in the Star Wars saga.
