Darth Andeddu

I'm pointing out that the fact that his holocron was in Korriban doesn't immediatley give him a place or time. Sidious/Vader had a tomb waiting for them there, so could have any of the Sith. I'm just saying that, so don't insult me and realize what I'm really saying.

Wasn't intended as a flame or an insult, really. Just didn't see where you were going with your argument. And, if I recall EE correctly, only Vader had a tomb waiting....

 

Ok, thanks.

It was originally for Vader, but they offered it to Sidious (Sidious did plan on living forever, so that may have something to do with it).

This brings another question, which is how involved Sith spirits are with the living Sith, they knew about Sidious' empire and all this stuff, so where exactly (aside from Sidious visiting them before) do they get their info?

 

Anyways, I hope they do a book with him...

or

maybe not with him, but have a group of people find out about him in the book. Almost like a mystery.

 

Well, we know Quin and co. survived Order 66 and are unaccounted for, and we know Quin knows about Andeddu, so they might have something to do... I dunno...

But I hope they make a comic or something about him specifically....

 

TV series?

 

That would be intruiging and Fantastic!

 

Perhaps "Darth" Andeddu will be the original "Darth" allowing us to have a firm understanding of the title (or name, possibly in Andeddu's case) and somewhat retconning the trouble with "Darth" as presented by KOTOR vs. Bane.

for this to be such, maybe Andeddu is the primary behind Revan and Malak, thus they both take "Darth" to their names to express a connection to his teachings.

*note* I am not dating Andeddu to KOTOR era...he could just as easily be a spirit or a holocron record. Just a suggestion for possible use and a justification of "Darth".

Even so...perhaps Andeddu is connected somehow with Malachor, which connects Darth Traya, Nihilis, Sion.

Perhaps "Darths" will become any Sith whom has a connections with the teachings of Andeddu, which all Sith took on following Bane. A "School" or branch of the Sith that would not include Sadow, Nadd, Kun, etc.

I would Love Andeddu to be the genesis of it all...I think that would rock.

 

fact: "Darth" as Sith title predates Darth Revan
IU hypothesis: "Darth" is a title of Rakatan origin
fact: Revan is not the first Sith to encounter the Rakata
fact: Adas was the first Sith to encounter the Rakata
fact: Rakata introduced holocrons to Sith
fact: Adas's holocron passed on to his Shadow Hand
fact: Palpatine and Lumiya obsessed with obtaining Adas's holocron
fact: Dooku obsessed with obtaining Darth Andeddu's holocron
my Hypothesis: Darth Andeddu is Adas's Shadowhand; he succeeded Adas as Sith'ari; he took on the title "Darth" as victor of the Rakata, much as Cyrus the Great took on the titles King of Media and King of Babylon; Darth Andeddu's holocron is the 2nd oldest holocron, modeled after Adas's (containing the same? plus additional? info?)

 

Ah, but Andeddu has a lightsaber, which were first introduced by the Jedi Exiles in 6,900 BBY.


Though he can't be Adas' Shadow Hand, he could still be the Shadow Hand that helped the Exiles kill the king. Nevertheless, he could just as easily be anyone else after the Exiles and before Plagueis

 

I dunno, I'm wary of the idea that the Sith had holocrons before the Dark Jedi exiles. Or are they just similar technologies, developed independently of one another, that the Jedi have referred to as holocrons because that is, technically, what they are? Or maybe the Jedi got it from the Rakatans...

 

The Sith got it from the Rakata in 25,000 BBY. They specifically taught Adas, who must have included it in his holocron, which everybody loved.

 

Why the name "Andeddu?"

 

as for how Jedi got holocrons, perhaps the faioled Sith invasion in c, 6900 BBY?

 

Because it sounds cool

They could've stolen it from the Rakata too, when they overthrew them (everyone did)

 

Is it "AAndEEddoo" or "AundEEddoo" or "Aundaddoo" or "AAndaddoo" ?

 

I pronounced it "An-DED-oo," though some people pointed out that in other languages the double d could take on a "th" sound, making it "Andethu." Then again, with the exception of Xizor, it would seem that Star Wars sticks to standard English phonetics.

 

It's An-DED-oo

 

That's how I pronounced it

 

Hookt on fonix werks 4 me!

 

"Undead" rearranged with an extra d.

 

Hm...possible. I like this theory:

That's not a lightsaber. This is a lightsaber.

 

I'm pretty sure I actually saw John post that explanation, though.

 

Twas curious, seeing how most Star Wars names are simply syllabled for what is considered a prime audience of teens. So when I see a "complicated" name like Andeddu, it stands out. Anyway, thanks.

 

I know. I was joking.

 

Here comes a strange theory, but I think I might be on to something. Is it possible that Andeddu was Plagueis' mysterious master?

I mean, think about it...Andeddu is basically derived from the word "undead" which could have connotations that he found the way to cheat death during his time as a Sith Lord. It's not impossible to surmise that if Andeddu was Plagueis' master that Andeddu could have started passing his knowledge along to his apprentice.

Could an appearance by Andeddu in the upcoming "Plagueis novel" be the "plan" that LucasFilm Ltd. has for him???

I know that this all goes against the speculation that Andeddu lived before Revan, and was the first Sith to take the title of Darth, but hey, I'm just throwing my theory out there....
