It could mean the time after Darth Ruin and the Republic Darth Ages again in which the Sith basically ruled the galaxy despite not being a unified government. It could mean the time during the First Jedi Purge, in which the Republic was a breath away from crumbling and the Jedi were destroyed. However the Sith didn't use this to dominate the galaxy, and instead devolved into petty in-fighting. In this 100 year darkness, it could be said that the Sith controlled the galaxy. ''Ruling the Galaxy'' might also have been a hyperbole and by with it could mean the first years of the Treaty of Coruscant in which the Sith Empire was more influential than ever. The New Sith actually gained massive amounts of territory, as seen in this map, and the fighting even caused the old republic to collapse. Shale Vizla or someone else could have easily taken that blade during the Sacking of Coruscant, or some other mandalorian could have done it during an unknown event during the Republic Dark Ages. I ,for one, hope this is fleshed out as the Clone Wars era was after Luke mentioned it to Kenobi during their time at his abode in ANH.

I cite Sidious' statement made in ROTS '.and once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy.' The Mandalorians also must have assaulted Coruscant at one point, or at least the Jedi Temple.

I take that from Master Tiin's statement during one episode of TCW ' There have not been battles like this since the days of the Old Republic ' Also, the Sith apparently ruled the galaxy at one point. Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empires eradication of the Jedi Order. The Old Republic era must have been turbulent and a time of war on a mass scale. Answer (1 of 4): No, nowhere in any time period of Star wars did any empire, Republic or faction held rulership over their entire galaxy, let’s remember in the books, Tattooine isn’t even part of the Republic or the Empire.

While rewatching SWTCW and the prequel trilogy, I've been wondering if the LSG will ever delve into the Old Republic era of canonized SW.

Once more the sith will rule the galaxy
