Sith

Ever since their introduction to the Star Wars franchise, the Sith and the Jedi have been at each other’s throats.  Given that they both exist on opposing sides of the Force, the Sith and the Jedi are natural enemies. They butt heads in every conceivable way. Where the Jedi believe in peace and keeping themselves …

We all need someone to share life experiences with. Of course, George Lucas integrated this feature into his masterfully crafted Star Wars universe.  Romantic relationships aside, many people in the galaxy build bonds with those around them. Whether they are Force users or not, they form involuntary connections with those they spend time with.  Though …

In the Star Wars universe, there is a clear distinction between the two sides of the Force. There is the light side and the dark side.  Those who adhere to the Jedi’s general idea of what’s right and wrong are part of the light side. They believe in peace, keeping a clear mind, and protecting …

In Star Wars, the Sith reside on the dark side of the Force. They are Force-sensitives who contest the Jedi way of life. This has never sat well with the Jedi, who opted to annihilate the first Sith Order, known as the Brotherhood of Darkness.  From that point onward, the Sith and the Jedi have …

I have a confession to make. Not only did Mas Amedda fail to make an impression on me, but I just learned his name. He was just the blue guy that showed up and yelled “order.” Which, it turns out, may have been one of the reasons that Palpatine kept him around. Mas Amedda is …

This has been on everyone’s mind ever since the first Star Wars movie, and it only became more confusing once we were introduced to Count Dooku. It made sense for Palpatine to keep his identity as a Sith Lord hidden in the prequels. But what about Dooku, Kylo Ren, the Inquisitors, and Snoke? Asaj Ventress …

When I was a kid watching the Star Wars movies for the first time, I decided that there were four things you needed to be a Sith. A red lightsaber, black or mostly black clothes, a cool Darth name, and at least one spaceship. But now that I’m an adult, I find myself wondering: How …

Yes, but you might not want to try dating one! One of the meanings behind a red lightsaber is passion. Passion is not the same as love. It’s lust, pride, and positiveness. Not necessarily evil, but can be taken too far and become toxic. Sith has more freedom when it comes to emotion, but they …

The galaxy is split between the light and dark sides of the Force. On each side, some organizations are responsible for seeing the desires of their side come to fruition.  Still, some don’t associate with either side and choose to remain in the gray area of the Force. Most of them are known as Gray …

The Inquisitors were a notorious band of former Jedi trained to hunt down former members of the Order that still roamed the galaxy in secret. They pledged themselves to the dark side and trained under Darth Vader. So how many did Vader have at his command? The initial number of Inquisitors sat between 10 and …

Often, the difference between good and evil, right and wrong has been clear cut. However, things may not be as clear cut as they seem. In our world, everything is about balance. Because one side of the spectrum often cannot exist without the other, both sides must work in tandem for everything to remain in …

Happiness is one of the most sought-after things in life. In our reality, the pursuit of happiness drives most, if not all, people into many situations.  Of course, in George Lucas’ Star Wars universe, it’s expected to be the same. If you think about it, regardless of how different the light and dark sides of …

On both sides of the force, teachers are responsible for imparting the rules and guidelines of their organization to the young. The Jedi Order on the light side of the Force has a Jedi Master who will train the Padawans.  What’s interesting about the Jedi is that a Master/Knight can only train one Padawan at …

Count Dooku was an anomaly in the Star Wars universe. He started his journey as a Force user in the Jedi Order. He was dedicated and talented. So much so that he rose through the ranks and later became a Jedi Master.  To the observer, Dooku appeared to be the ideal Jedi Knight, following the …

Many Jedi have fallen to the dark side and turned Sith. However, some throughout Star Wars Canon and Legends regretted their decisions and wished to return to the light side. But once a Jedi falls to the Sith, can they redeem themselves? The Rise of Skywalker revealed a Sith Lord can cheat death if they …

If you look at a rundown of all the canon Sith lords of Star Wars history, you’ll find that most of them look evil and deformed. Aside from a select few, they all give off a strong menacing presence. From Emperor Palpatine to Darth Maul, some of the most terrifying looking creatures in Star Wars …

Revenge motivates people’s actions unlike any other. By definition, revenge is hurting or inflicting harm on someone in retaliation for the wrong that occurred at their hands. Of course, revenge works the same way in the Star Wars universe as well.  Throughout galactic history, revenge has been the main catalyst for the war between the …

Yes! In ancient times, purple was the second color acceptable for the Sith, and they hated it more than any other color. The color doesn’t prevent someone from picking up a lightsaber. It can show some meaning for the one who made the lightsaber. Since red and blue make purple, I’ll cover their meanings before …

There’s no question that the Force users of the galaxy have an advantage over the non-Force-sensitive beings. This is because those that are trained in using the force have access to special techniques. Given that the force is split between the light and dark sides of the force, many of the techniques are also split. …

Revenge of the Sith is arguably the most tragic film in the Skywalker Saga. And it contains a Shakespearean flair, with the disintegration of both a Republic and a romantic relationship. But how long did the events between the battle over Coruscant and the fall of the Republic take? Revenge of the Sith occurred in …
