a few question about SW world

[Chato]

hi,

 

i was wondering what exactly was the Sith in fact... I think the answer is in Ep1 but it makes a little time i've seen it. I don't remember the things about that "Sith"...

 

The 2nd question is who's Exar Kun ?

 

Thx to refresh my memory

Exar Kun was the sith that had the lightstaff (maul got the idea from him i guess...) The Sith have been 'extinct for over a millenia' til they showed up in TPM. So Yoda must've been born a hundred or less years after they became 'extinct' Darth Bane was the sith who invented the rule that 'only 2, master and apprentice' were allowed after the sith war (where all the sith got power hungry or something and killed eachother). Someone else will probably explain it more clearly, cause that's all i could remember.....

From the Unofficial Star Wars Encylcopedia...

 

this ancient race of insect-like humanoids was characterized by its dark, red skin, cranial horns, and long bony chins. There were several subspecies of Sith, each with its own place in their society. Some were slaves, other were warriors, and the highest caste of all were the magicians. They lived in a remote sector of the ancient galaxy, and were unknown to most until a group of Jedi Knights discovered their existence. The early Sith regarded the Dark Jedi as gods. The Force-sensitive Sith magicians proved to have control over the Dark Side of the Force, and the Jedi took many of their tomes and teachings back to study. They hoped to determine ways to avoid the Dark Side, but a group of Jedi found the allure of the Dark Side and the Sith teachings too powerful. They rose up against their Masters, but were not yet powerful enough to defeat them. The Dark Jedi were banished from the Old Republic, and chose to flee across the galaxy to the worlds of the true Sith. Over the millennia, the two groups intermingled, until very little pure Sith blood remained. One of the early Dark Lords of the Sith was Marka Ragnos, who was succeeded by Naga Sadow. Freedon Nadd was a later Dark Lord who was caught by the Jedi Knights on Onderon and entombed there. Nadd's spirit invaded the body and mind of Exar Kun, who eventually became a Dark Lord himself. They developed a rigid hierarchy of magicians and warriors, with the leadership of the brotherhood falling to the current Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith wrote expansive volumes on the control and use of the Dark Side, and described incredible manifestations of power. Later, they were able to created amulets and weaponry that could assist the user in controlling the Dark Side. These devices amplified the Dark Side, making the user incredibly powerful. Much of the Sith lore was hidden on various worlds when the ancient Jedi Knights first sought to eradicate the Sith. Some was stored on Korriban, some on the moon of Yavin 4. The last remained true-blooded Sith were wiped out by Exar Kun during the Great Sith War, when he stole their life energy in an effort to defend his fortress on Yavin 4 against the forces of the Old Republic

I understand now, but it's a strange thing, the sith = insects/humans were the best in Dark Side Jokes and turn a master jedi on that side of the force so ?

 

There's a little part i didn't catch well, the jedis who discovered the Sith fought them when they saw they were ****ing good with the force ? Is this the right thing to understand ? (i'm french and i read that text a bit quickly).

 

Thanks for comfirmation and thx for the text Black Dragon.
