Sam Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I don't know either,I think Sith is a race or clan or something.Hopefully a star wars expert (nerd) will come to answer this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weiderudare Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Well. Im not to sure about this but here is what I think: Siths. There can only be two Siths. The Master and his apprentice. They are the most powerful people around... Very dangerous. Only to be confronted by real Jedi Masters. Example of Siths: Palpantine and Vader Dark Jedis are less powerful, in JA they are the Reborns. They are like usual jedis, only dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 from http://www.starwars.com the sith cult can find its roots further back in the galaxy's ancient past. Long before the Republic rose, there lived a culture on the planet Korriban. These primitive people were called the Sith, and the Force flowed strongly through their bloodlines. Although they didn't practice the Force as the Jedi would, they were talented in their own brand of magic. In the early days of the Jedi, a great schism tore the order apart. Jedi who had tapped the forbidden power of the Force's dark side rebelled against their light-sided brothers. After a terrible war, the Dark Jedi were exiled from the Republic. Past the Republic's growing borders, these castaways discovered Korriban and the Sith people. Powerful with the dark side, the Jedi outcasts set themselves up as gods on Korriban. The primitive Sith worshipped them as their lords, and so the Jedi grew, and built temples and monuments to celebrate their power. Millennia of interbreeding blurred the distinction between Sith native and offworlder, and the term Sith came to encompass not only the indigenous people of Korriban, but also the powerful overlords that ruled them. i hope thats explains it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheat Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 but doesnt the dark side "cloud everything" that is why they didnt know palpatine was evil so i suppose that is why they didnt find the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Reglia Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 ok, the planet wasnt dedicated to the dark side. Remember the Sith is a race, and Dark Jedi were the first people they met who harnessed the Force better, so they worshipped them, and became Dark Force users. If Light Jedi found them first, then the Sith would probably be Light Side Jedi. But if you think about it, couldn't you say Yavin 4 is a planet for Light Side Jedi, since it holds the Jedi Academy?

Neverhoodian Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 The way I see it, the Sith are Force users who only tap into the Force's Dark side to ruthlessly obtain their goals. The Sith also abide by the laws of the Sith (like the master and apprentice duo) established by Darth Bane 2,000 years ago. (if taken from the Galactic Civil War period of Star Wars history) Dark Jedi, on the other hand, are not bound by the rules of the Sith. Case in point; Jerec had SIX followers. Unlike the Sith, who only use Force powers from the Dark side, Dark Jedi don't care which side of the Force they use in a given situation, as long as it accomplishes their needs, hence the reason why Yun used Blinding, a Light side power, in JK. However, this "hybrid Force" combination, instead of following purely Light or Dark side, taints their connection with either side of the Force at large and weakens them somewhat, explaining why Dark Jedi tend to be weaker than true Sith or Jedi. Since there are no limits to how many of them there are, however, they rely more on strength in numbers rather than Force mastery. Anyway, that's my idea of how Dark Jedi and Sith are different. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Rythe Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Dark Jedi means an evil Jedi. Sith is there name instead of jedi. So... Dark Jedi <---> Good Jedi Sith <---> Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joetheeskimo Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Star Wars cannot and will never be able to explain all the gaps in their stories. But it's pretty vcool to learn about Sith, Dark Jedi and their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterSidious Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 BTW, is the guy that is voted to the council( Senate) in episode I by the princess, dark? This guy is shown in a scene in episode II as talking alone with Anikin telling him how good he is and everything. Is there something that I'm missing or is this some sort of a deep plot in the story line or something? Sith are evil jedis by definition that are born bad. Dark jedis are just jedis that decide to go to the "dark side" and aren't super natually powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark jedis are just jedis that decide to go to the "dark side" and aren't super natually powerful. The guy you're talking about is Master Sidious, your avatar and username. He is a Sith, becuase in Episode I he's the master of Darth Maul, then in Episode II he's the master of Count Dooku, then in the rest of the movies, he's master of Darth Vader. He is one of the two Sith, the Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 To add a bit to joetheeskimo, the guy is Senator Palpatine, who is in actuality Darth Sidious. Senator Palpatine destroys the Republic and becomes Emperor Palpatine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
