The footage shows a Sith Lord reappearing, proving that they were not extinct and that dark times are ahead.
“My question when watching The Phantom Menace was always: How did things get to this point? How have we gotten to a point where a Sith Lord can infiltrate the Senate and none of the Jedi notice? What went wrong? “What are the scenarios that have led us to this moment?” said Headland about the series.
