Sith Empire/Old republic is like the Kardashians...

For it to be cannon, don’t it have to have content in the movies, or at least talked about in the movies?

Episode 8

Keep your eyes peeled when seeing inside Luke's home, and you'll spot a handmade pendant of leather carrying a special object. It's the red crystal used inside every Sith lightsaber, mounted inside a metal cradle as a "trophy" of sorts. Most viewers may assume that it's the power source of Darth Vader's lightsaber - a reminder to Luke of the darkness that consumed his father (or a relic too valuable to fall into ignorant hands).

But the canonical name of the object, as revealed in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, reveals a different past. The gem is still a "fragmented Sith lightsaber crystal," but it didn't belong to Luke or his father. It's a "recovered Jedi Crusader pendant" - which refers to only one corner of Star Wars canon.

The term "Jedi Crusader" might sound fairly generic, but the lack of actual "crusades" waged by the monks makes it a specific term in the bigger picture. Those who played through the original Knights of the Old Republic video game know this story already. Around 5,000 years before the Star Wars movies the Mandalorians became a galactic threat under the leadership of a new "Mandalore the Ultimate." Conquering worlds in honor of the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, these "Neo-Crusaders" were just the kind of growing, military threat that the Jedi... completely ignored. But not one: one young Jedi Knight promoted armed resistance and revanchism (the act of re-conquering Republic worlds and territory).

He would come to be known as Revan because of his charismatic campaign, and his followers the Revanchists. But to the galactic masses, his opposition to Mandalore gave him a different title: the Jedi's very own "Crusader." The story that followed is generally seen as one of the most acclaimed, compelling, and important ones to come from the Star Wars Extended Universe. Told in video games, comics, and novels, the life of Revan and the impact he had on the galaxy was one of the most painful to see erased as non-canonical Star Wars "Legend."

Until Luke Skywalker went digging into the history of the Jedi... and came out with a trinket with Revan's name on it.

He’s right. Check it. While other Old Republic stuff isn’t canon right now, Revan is, as well as Bane whom Yoda meets in the Clone Wars (Lost Missions).

No Old Republic stuff is canon. IDK if Bane is in those games, but if he is, he is the only canon character in them. Revan was in a deleted scene from TCW, but that does not make him canon. Some book says Luke's necklace thing is a crystal from the Jedi Crusaders, but those Jedi Crusaders are not the same guys from the OR games. So Revan's Crusader gang are not canon.

Revan is not canon. He is never mentioned in any canon material.

Bruvs, let go of worrying about what's canonical. Enjoy all of Star Wars as you explore it.

Unless I'm forgetting something, didn't the DS only blow up Alderaan and not Alderaan +2 planets?

@MagicMatthews99 Post might be referring to Jedha (spelling?) and Scarif from Rogue One - neither of which blew up though.

Nihilus did not destroy planets he killed everything living on the planet, the planets were still there and whatever was built, he ate the life force of anything touched by the force. He was drawn to places with many force sensitives and places rich in the force but he could not blow up planets or destroy them like the death star and other super weapons.

Nihilus was powerful but a lot of people clearly do not understand how his hunger worked.

Yay, more irrelevant lore logic!

Awww someone is mad that people actually care about the good EU and still support it instead of the new ST canon no one gives a crap about.

Cry more about it.
