Well, Hutts are generally very intelligent (or at least have a reputation for it). If you had one who also could govern without being corrupt, he would be quite effective (probably even if he was corrupt he could still be effective). If he wasn't corrupt, he probably did a good job of balancing the government budget and putting the Republic on a stable financial footing.

10:30 I would disagree with putting him on the list of 'Legends'. Yes, he was successful in his goals, but his goals ultimately created the circumstances that led to the Great Galactic War. It can be argued that the invasion and extermination of the Sith on Korriban was a mistake, because it resulted in a deep cultural resentment that the Emperor used to cement their Loyalty and the dedication of the masses to his cause. I also disagree with your top pick. Was Valorum one of the best? Yes. But if your only point of note for him is the restructuring of the Republic and the implementation of the Ruusan Reformations, then I would question putting him at the very top, as there are aspects of the Reformations that were potentially problematic. Yes it's true that they were a product of the immediate post-war times, and that Valorum didn't unilaterally decide on them, but that still means that, in 20x20 hindsight, he would be less universally acclaimed than someone like Blotus or Biel Ductavis.
@kevinhansen8211
5 күн бұрын
Tarsus Valorum's policies were kind of a double-edged sword. Yes, they brought about the golden age, but they were also based on distrust and fear. It was the first step in isolating the Jedi from the people of the Republic. He bound the Jedi Order to the Senate and started its long slide into the form it would take during the clone wars. His policies led to Jedi weakness, best shown in the Jedi strike team that was destroyed by Darth Bane and Darth Zannah, the two Sith were too strong even for an elite squad of Jedi war veterans to stand against, their skills having degraded by the lack of commitment to the Force and in their rejection of combat training.

She was also one of the last chancellors to genuinely serve the galaxy and not herself, before crap hit the fan.

Unfortunately, Valorum's passage of the Russan Reformation ensured that the Jedi stopped practicing battle tactics and combat more suited for melee engagements, which was based on the ignorance that the Sith had been destroyed at Russan or that there was no other dark side organization other than the sith who wield lightsabers. All of this is confirmed in The Rule of Two novel. Pultimo's misunderstanding of Sith culture caused him to order an entire conquest of Sith space, going against the knowledge presented to him by the Jedi of the Dark Jedi Exiles had assimilated into Sith culture and not the inverse. This points to the fact that when ranking characters like these people you also have to consider the possible ramifications of these actions down the line. So with all that added into the mix of info and factors, I consider Tol Cressa to be the best chancellor. He actually established through his decisions to support Zayne Carrick's plea for innocence and winning after Hasen was killed and supported Revan's stance in Jedi politics that Federal crimes committed or accusations of that sort are taken up by the Republic Judiciary and that Jedi positions are determined by marrot not political connection or wealth. Ending the trend of Jedi Aristocrats occupying every council seat for good. And had it not been for the Jedi Council Revan's plan to defeat the True Sith would've succeded given his promised consultation with the Republic Board of Admiralty and newly founded S.I.S. And though his hands were tied he still did the right thing and actively discredited the council after they ordered the first shot of The Jedi Civil War until Malak took control and everything changed.

Because even though it's democracy you're showing them the people will fight back given it's a showing by force. In the case of Pultimo and Sith people, genocide. I even realized that Valorum also gave the order to open hostilities against the Republic's long-time ally the Mandalorians which resulted in their Fedaration's collapse and devolvement of the Parliament of Clans in favor of a royal Dynasty made up by the lowliest branch of the Kreyse clan backed up by the guns and lightsabers of the Republic. Trading with an act of killing millions by nuclear bond fire a streamlined yet functional Parliamentary Democracy for a propped-up line of puppets. And we all know the results of that.

10:05 to 11:06 is unironically just revisionism the dude oversaw the almost complete genocide of the sith species. Other youtubers covered this more honestly and called it exactly what it was. Wookiepedia abd Geetsyl's still try their best to paint the Republic and Jedi as somehow being the good guys in this situation. Even Gnost Dural makes a critical comment on this in the last swtor timeline entry video entrance: "It was at that moment the republic made what might now be considered a mistake. The Sith no longer posed a threat, but the Supreme Chancellor was unsatisfied. Jedi and Republic forces were send to Korriban and other Sith planets to ensure no remnants of the Sith Empire remain. It was this action which drove the surviving Sith to flee into deep space with a new Dark Lord who rose to take Naga Sadow's place. The same Dark Lord they continue to call Emperor to this day. I believe this was why he led his people to rebuild their civilization and this was why they returned thirteen centuries later to get revenge against the Repbulic. One must wonder how things might have been, if the republic handled the end of the great hyperspace war differently." So in part, this supreme chancellor is to blame for the creation for the reconstituted sith empire. Get your facts straight.

Ignoring his hiccup when it comes to the bounty hunter (He blindly believed the stories told to him by the Jedi Battlemaster Jun Seros), Janarus was able to take the Republic from its floundering position with the Treaty of Coruscant and by the time he died/resigned from office in disgrace, the republic was significantly better off than the Empire. On top of that, once he learns that the Bounty Hunter was framed by Jun, he personally takes responsibility and resigns, regardless of what alignment BH you're on. While I wouldn't put him in excellent, he's not a mediocre Chancellor by any means
