Sam Witwer Explains How He Made The Sith Code Canon

Sam Witwer Explains How He Made The Sith Code Canon

Have you ever heard about the Sith Code? The Code of the Sith, also known as Qotsisajak, is a mantra that embodies the core beliefs of the Sith. 

It’s essentially an inversion of the Jedi Code, emphasizing that the strong should destroy the weak.

In case you need a refresher, I’ll leave a link here for you. 

The Sith Code was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends 2003 video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, written by David Gaider.

We first get a glimpse of the Sith Code in canon during the Mortis God arc in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, where the Son says, “The chains are the easy part.”

Then, thanks to Sam Witwer, the voice of Darth Maul, we hear the Sith Code again. 

In the episode where Savage Opress searches for Maul in the trash, Maul is depicted mumbling the Sith Code: “Through victory, my chains are broken. The chains – the chains are the easy part.

Sam Witwer mentioned in an interview, “Dave and I are not convinced there is a Sith Code. But then I was like, let’s make it canon. I very proudly mumbled little pieces of the Sith Code. Because I knew that if it made it into the episode, then it was canon.
