The main Sith. How the Jedi created the Sith in Star Wars. Dualistic system of government

In the Star Wars universe, there is an endless war between the dark and light sides of the Force, and the main soldiers in this endless battle are the force-sensitive, lightsaber-wielding Jedi and Sith. Even in the new canon, which, as a reminder, includes eight films, four animated series and ongoing comics and books, many powerful Force users can be found, but the old expanded canon, now called "Legends", also offers its own look at several prominent figures from both sides of the barricades.

It is difficult to say which of them is the strongest, because the Force has many paths, not always obvious and unambiguous. Few characters from this list managed to measure their strength in battle (if only because there is a time gap of several thousand years between some) and we can only roughly compare their potential. Therefore, this list will not be a top, but only a listing of the strongest personalities in our opinion who know the ways of the Force.

In almost all Star Wars works, Shaak-Ti has been a minor character, except for a story arc in the animated series Rebels, which was entirely dedicated to the red-skinned Twi'lek. But she occupied the seat on the Jedi Council for a reason, and during the battle on Geonosis she was part of the strike force that arrived to rescue Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padmé. In almost every frame of this battle, Shaak-Ti can be seen in the background, skillfully dealing with the droids.

Her coolness helped reveal the fact that the clones were implanted with behavioral chips, and although Palpatine did everything to hide the truth, this information helped save Ahsoka and Captain Rex. While she's never been a major character, Shaak-Ti is powerful enough to deserve a spot on this list.


The main antagonist of Knight of the Old Republic II, Darth Nihilus is somewhat of a Force vampire. Calling himself a "rift in the Force", Nihilus was capable of absorbing the Force from other Force users.

Thanks to this, his skills developed very quickly. He far surpassed his teacher, Darth Traya, a woman who used telekinesis to fight with three lightsabers.

Nihilus may not be the most feared Sith Lord in the Star Wars universe, but he comes dangerously close to that title. He was able to destroy the entire Jedi Council simply by absorbing their Force energy and destroying his connection former teacher with the Force.

However, Nihilus has one weakness - if he is not “fed” by the Force for a long time, he begins to weaken. In addition, he is easy to fool or deceive, which significantly neutralizes his high skills in handling the Force.


Every Jedi should have a cool name, and Kit Fisto is no exception. But there's more to this Jedi Master than just a cool name and design.

Fisto played a small role in Attack of the Clones, participating in the Battle of Geonosis and helping to save Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme. However, we were able to fully appreciate Fisto’s skills in the animated series “The Clone Wars,” where he had to fight General Grievous. In the battle, Fisto easily cut off the android's arm and showed impressive skills with a lightsaber, while throwing bits of his Jedi wisdom in Grievous's direction.

Fisto's calm demeanor, high discipline, and honed combat skills easily make him one of the most trusted members of the Jedi Council. His skills were highly regarded even by Windu, who recruited Kit Fisto into the team that intended to arrest Emperor Palpatine. Although he was one of the first to die at the hands of the Sith Lord, Fisto's importance to the Council cannot be overstated, and his loyalty and skill in battle will forever be remembered.


Already hidden behind a shroud of secrecy, the history of this Sith Lord was completely erased after Disney rebranded the Star Wars universe. However, his mention in Revenge of the Sith suggests that, one way or another, he is still part of the canon. Based on the bits of information we've seen so far, Plagueis was Palpatine's teacher in the period leading up to the prequel trilogy. Afraid of losing his loved ones, Plagueis discovered a secret eternal life and lived for many years. Apart from this, we only know that he was killed by his student, as the Rule of Two dictates. After him, Palpatine became the Sith Lord, who also took on students.

Such a mysterious figure with such a mysterious past could not help but become one of the most discussed topics among Star Wars fans, especially when it comes to the future development of the universe. Despite so little information about him, Palpatine's master remains a powerful and feared figure to deserve his place on the list. And the fact that we don’t know much about him only gives us reason to fear him even more.


A very welcome addition to the Star Wars canon, Ahsoka Tano quickly became one of the key figures in the Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. A capable but inexperienced Padawan who was given to Anakin for training, she became a rebel Jedi during the Clone Wars. Although the two were close, her decision to leave the Jedi Order was one of the factors that pushed Anakin to the dark side.

Strong and with deep character, Ahsoka was a breath of fresh air in a galaxy far, far away that was lacking in serious female characters. Seeing her development during the time away between The Clone Wars and Rebels, where she agreed to help the Resistance, shows how independent she is. Her Jedi skills speak for themselves. While still a Padawan, she was able to fight on equal terms with General Grievous, and in Rebels she already successfully dueled with her former teacher. Armed with two lightsabers (which is always a treat to look at), Ahsoka has proven herself to be a strong (if former) Jedi.


A relative newcomer to the universe, Kylo Ren still proves himself to be a skilled Sith apprentice.

Born Ben Solo, the only son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ren faced the same problem as his grandfather - he was stuck in the eternal struggle between the light and darkness within him, only with the pressure of his family's name weighing on him. As a result, the dark side won and Ren joined the First Order. Even though we haven't seen his full strength yet, we can already tell that he has a lot of potential just by the way he froze a blaster shot in the air. After this, we understand that the leader of the Knights of Ren, whoever they are, has already reached unprecedented heights and continues to improve his skills.

Although he does not have Vader's habit of regularly meditating, he otherwise emulates his grandfather, wearing a similar helmet, although he eventually abandoned it. He also wields an unstable energy crystal lightsaber with a guard, making him one of the Force users who have abandoned the more traditional versions of this elegant weapon. Even though his training is technically over, Kylo Ren still has room to grow, so there's no doubt we'll see him become much stronger and more dangerous in episode nine. In the meantime, all we can do is sit back in our chairs and wait for his meteoric rise... or fall.


In every work there is always a character who rebels against established order and is a kind of rebel in relation to other positive characters. And although he never left the Order, Qui-Gon became such a character in the films.

Unlike traditionalists like Windu, Qui-Gon interpreted the Jedi Code much more freely than most, not afraid to break it if he considered it necessary. He played a major role in Anakin becoming the "chosen one" who would bring balance to the Force and was going to become his teacher even despite the refusal of the Jedi Council. In addition to his rebellious spirit, Qui-Gon also repeatedly showed his prudence and wisdom, which was reflected in his student Obi-Wan.

In addition, the cunning Jedi Knight became famous not only for actually making Anakin a Jedi, but also for being able to unravel the secret of essentially immortality. This goes far beyond the abilities of Force users before him. While the nature of his immortality remains a mystery, there is no doubt that Qui-Gon lives on as a conscious part of the Force itself.


While the prequel trilogy had its problems (okay, there were plenty of them), it also had some definite positives. Perhaps one of the main ones is the Sith student Darth Maul.

Palpatine raised and trained Maul from a young age and he became the ideal student. Determined and faithful, under the leadership of the future Emperor he achieved considerable heights. In the future, his role in current events will only grow, for example, he was sent to Naboo to kill Queen Amidala. There he faced Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan several times before fighting the final battle. Later, in The Clone Wars, it will be revealed that he did not die on Naboo and will continue to delight fans with his appearances, including (spoiler alert) in the recent film about the young Han Solo. Unfortunately, the film did not perform very well at the box office and we are unlikely to see a continuation of the story of the red-skinned Zabrak in the future.

Training has made Maul a perfect weapon; in battle he is incredibly agile and aggressive. His sword with two blades, more like a pole, is equally good for both defense and attack, and he has learned to use his strength for especially high jumps and significant acceleration of movements. Maul is the undisputed leader in the fan debate over who is the best Sith apprentice (besides Vader, of course), and no one should ever underestimate him.


One of the most prominent Jedi on the Council, Mace Windu was renowned for his skill in lightsaber combat. Usually a calm, reserved and courageous Jedi, he becomes a real demon on the battlefield. While Jedi such as Yoda and Obi-Wan are known for their intelligence and wisdom in addition to their fighting skills, Windu has proven himself to be a powerful lightsaber fighter and has proven his strength more than once during the Clone Wars. And his rare sword with a purple blade only emphasizes his coolness.

Strictly adhering to the traditions of his Jedi path, Windu was the only one who managed to defeat Emperor Palpatine in one-on-one battle, although he killed the other three Masters in this battle. If not for the intervention of Anakin Skywalker, Windu would have succeeded in what no one had managed before - he would have defeated Palpatine in battle. An aggressive and unpredictable warrior who knows the very essence of strength, on the battlefield Windu is an example to follow for so many Jedi.


One of the key figures in the Clone Wars, Dooku is yet another noble warrior who left the Jedi Order, questioning their motives and goals. Formerly Qui-Gon's teacher and Yoda's last student long before Luke, Dooku replaced Maul after the latter's defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan. Becoming a face Galactic Empire During the Clone Wars, he continued to study the ways of the Sith, repeatedly encountering former Jedi comrades.

When it comes to lightsaber skills, Dooku was without a doubt one of the best duelists, easily defeating Obi-Wan in two separate battles. Apparently, only Yoda and Mace Windu could compare with him in battle. In addition, he is the only Sith besides Palpatine to use Force lightning, giving him a significant advantage in battle. Dooku's relationship with the Force was very similar to that of his former master. Despite the fact that his death at the hands of Anakin was planned by Palpatine a long time ago and he was unable to prevent it, Dooku remains a very powerful and dangerous Sith Lord.


In The Last Jedi, we clearly saw that Rey and Kylo were roughly equal in strength when they fought for Skywalker's sword. Of course, this may seem strange, but canon is canon.

Rey has trained much less, but has already reached the skill level to fight Kylo Ren. And although it is possible that she is controlled by the Force within her, the young Jedi should not be underestimated.

Rey has mastered many skills in a very short period of time, in addition to all this she is very smart and she already had combat experience gained from a difficult childhood on Jakku. It was thanks to this that she was able to become such a capable and strong student of Luke.

By the end of her story arc, Rey may well become one of the strongest Force users of her era (and maybe of all time), but she still has a very long way to go.


Snoke doesn't seem like your typical Star Wars villain, and doesn't seem interested in the eternal struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. And although he was not, in fact, a Sith, Snoke is undoubtedly a true master of the Dark Side of the Force.

While his identity and past are still a mystery, he has shown incredible mastery of the Force, especially in The Last Jedi. He could toss Rey around like a rag doll with the flick of a finger and easily penetrated her mind to find out Luke's location.

Snoke also managed to mentally connect Rey and Kylo using the Force while only being present with one of them. Later, Snoke pinned Hux to the floor while somewhere on the other side of the galaxy.


Like Plagueis, Darth Bane is a very mysterious figure and was not even considered a canon character until he was mentioned in The Clone Wars. Although he is not the founder of the Sith, he was the one who saved them from complete destruction. Foreseeing that the growing number of Sith would lead to eternal internal struggle, he came up with the so-called “Rule of Two,” according to which only a Sith teacher and his student should exist. Since then, the Sith have strictly observed this rule. On the path of the dark side, this is by far the most important law.

You don't even need to know about his mastery of strength and power, just the fact that his appearance determined the future of the Sith and his shadow - canon or not - continues to lurk in the darkest corners of the Star Wars universe. His strength is already evidenced by the fact that the Sith draw their power from the rule he invented, which even Yoda knows about. He can be considered the “godfather” of the Sith and his knowledge is still passed on from teacher to student. And this already says something.


Marvel comics about Darth Vader are very good. Seriously, if you haven't read them, you should check them out, there's a Jedi who uses a sniper rifle. And in this series, one of the most important and strongest Jedi is Kirak Infil'a.

This Jedi Knight served the Order as one of the main fighters and was considered the best warrior among all the others. As a result, he took an ancient oath called the Oath of Barash, which, as punishment, forbade him to interact with other members of the Order. During the Clone Wars, he meditated and strengthened his connection to the Force, and when Kirak was tracked down by Vader, he cut off the Sith's legs and threw him off a cliff, vowing to find the Sith Master.

Vader ended up destroying an entire village to lure out Kirak, and in trying to save its inhabitants, he was unable to protect himself.


Torn between the light and dark sides, Anakin eventually became the most ruthless man in the Galactic Empire, and you're unlikely to survive an encounter with Darth Vader (unless you're his long-lost son). Once proclaimed the Chosen One, the future savior of the galaxy from the Sith, Vader (in past life Anakin Skywalker) were noticed by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Born a slave and able to achieve success, Anakin was a talented pilot and lightsaber fighter, his skills rivaled even those of the Jedi Masters of the Council.

Of course, the influence of Emperor Palpatine corrupted him and from the depths of Anakin's consciousness, the dark side awakened Lord Vader. Under this identity, he became a cyborg and did not let anyone fail, not even himself. Although he didn't shoot lightning from his fingers, he appearance, skills and connection to the force - not to mention his influence on pop culture - make him one of the greatest Sith of all time, and certainly the most popular.


An old-fashioned Jedi who trained in all the traditions of the Force at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi learned much from his master Qui-Gon, especially his ideas of Jedi restraint. Although his past is largely unknown and we meet him as a Jedi, Kenobi quickly and deservedly earned the rank of general. A battle-hardened veteran, Kenobi overpowered strong opponents, including Darth Maul, General Grievous and even his former student, Darth Vader. It was after this battle that Vader was forced to use all available technology to keep himself alive.

An excellent lightsaber duelist and skilled user of the Force, Kenobi is sometimes overshadowed by other famous figures such as Vader and Luke Skywalker. He may be inferior in some ways to the Skywalkers, but his intelligence and ability to make quick decisions in battle compensate for any shortcomings and make him one of the greatest Jedi in the galaxy.


The Sith Lord we all know and love, Emperor Palpatine, had a long and successful reign over the Galactic Empire. Sheev Palpatine was born on Naboo and had a distinguished political career, quickly becoming Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. In addition, he managed to rebuild a huge Empire right under the noses of the Jedi and win the Senate to his side, forcing them to distrust the Jedi Order. All this resulted in the mass extermination of the Jedi and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Palpatine would not have agreed to anything less.

His calculating mind as a politician is already intimidating, but besides this, Palpatine was a powerful Sith Lord, although he had to change many students. An ardent adherent of the Rule of Two, the Emperor was particularly skilled in the use of Force lightning, one of the most sophisticated arts of the dark side. His mastery of the force was clearly demonstrated during his battle with Yoda, when Palpatine hurled several large platforms at him at once. His superior combination of advance planning and mastery of the Force make him the greatest Sith Lord to date.


The son of Darth Vader, born after the Empire exterminated the Jedi and took over the galaxy, Luke Skywalker quickly grew tired of life as a simple farmer on Tatooine and managed to become a Jedi Knight, equaling the almighty Darth Vader in battle.

Luke is not only one of the most powerful and fan-favorite Jedi in the Star Wars universe, he is also a skilled pilot and marksman, managing to blow up the Death Star with a single shot. Before becoming Yoda's apprentice, Luke learned the Force on his own after Kenobi's death and proved himself to be a good student, even though he lacked proper instruction. In just a year, he was able to master Force jumps and telekinesis.

His flexibility with the Force extends far beyond acrobatics and lightsaber skills. Thanks to this, young Skywalker managed to become one of the strongest Jedi of his time (although he, in fact, was the only one at that time). His natural kindness and patience made him the best candidate to revive the Jedi Order, although he ultimately failed.


Revan was arguably the greatest Sith of his time, but was captured by the Jedi, who erased his memory and forced him to join them. He was also known as the Jedi Champion and had absurdly more influence within the Order.

To be honest, it is difficult to unequivocally attribute Revan to both the Sith and the Jedi; he often acted as he himself thought was right. It was he who killed Darth Malak, who had captured many Jedi and used the Star Forge to take and appropriate their power.

When he felt the call of the dark side, he disappeared and was never seen again. But even during the time of Anakin Skywalker, Revan is considered one of the strongest Jedi of all time, and his uniqueness is that he successfully walked both sides of the Force.


When you're 900 years old, you can say you've seen a lot, and this little green alien has seen even more than some, reaching the peak of his Jedi powers. Enough has already been said about its antiquity and wisdom. He trained almost all the Masters of the Council, including Windu and Obi-Wan, thanks to him the Council flourished for many centuries, since he received the rank of Master.

Without a doubt, Yoda was the strongest Jedi Master at the time of Order 66. His connection to the force is so strong that he felt the death of every Jedi the clones killed. He also showed the ability to absorb Sith lightning, something no one else had done.

But the main difference between Yoda and the rest of the Jedi is his immense wisdom and patience (it’s hard not to learn this in 900 years), and any Jedi has something to learn from him, be it a Padawan or a seasoned veteran Jedi. In every possible sense of the word, Yoda is the perfect Jedi Master.

The Jedi and Sith have been on opposite sides of the Force for centuries in the saga "Star Wars", but it appears that the Jedi were responsible for their creation in the first place.

While both orders of the Force have been fighting each other since the very first installment in 1977, the term "Sith" was first used on screen decades later, in the first episode of " Hidden threat " However, in reality, the Sith have always existed.

Darth Vader was known as the Dark Lord of the Sith even before " New Hope ", and the Emperor later revealed that he is its master. But what did all this mean? Before the prequel trilogy" Star Wars", released in the late 1990s and early 2000s, lacked canonical Sith history, at least in comparison to the Jedi Order. This is partly why Lucas took the time to establish certain principles of the Sith Order, such as Darth Bane's "Rule of Two".

However, despite the fact that eight films, dozens of novels, comic books and video games have presented countless details about the history of the Sith, unexplored areas regarding their true origins still exist. Interestingly, one scene in " The Last Jedi" confirmed the story "Legends" about how the Sith were created, which would make them a canon origin. And Luke Skywalker blames the Jedi for all this.

SITH IN THE SAGA

For many years it was believed that people who use the dark side of the Force were Sith, but this is not true. These people, namely Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke. So far, only a small fraction of the real Sith have appeared on the big screen, with most of them mentioned in comics and animated TV shows. In the films, we could only see Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Darth Vader and Darth Sidious. And everyone else is just using the dark side of the Force.

The original trilogy gave the world an entire galaxy to explore both on and off screen, but the prequel trilogy truly delved into the past. As Yoda says at Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral, two Sith cannot be present at the same time. After they fell approximately a thousand years before the events of the films " Star Wars", Darth Bane established the "Rule of Two" and sent the Sith underground until they were ready to strike back.

It wasn't until Darth Sidious, aka Palpatine, and Darth Maul that the Sith felt capable of destroying the Jedi. Throughout the prequel trilogy, fans learned more about the history of the Sith, such as the infamous known history Darth Plagueis. Of course, much more was revealed in additional material films, as well as in various franchise media, but a major aspect of the Sith's history was left behind the scenes, especially their true origins, which had actually already been revealed; fans just couldn't understand it.

HUNDRED-YEAR DARKNESS AND THE ROGUE JEDI

A story that was once considered canon and then relegated to Star Wars Legends, was a tale of the Hundred Year Darkness and an unidentified rogue who turned on the Jedi Order to explore the dark side of the Force. Outside of canon, this rogue Jedi was known as Ajanta Pall, who split from the Jedi approximately 7,000 years before Civil War in the Galaxy and fought the Order along with a group of Dark Jedi who founded the Sith Order on the planet Korriban.

It's a great story, but it's no longer canon. The role of Ajantha Pall has been reassigned to an unnamed rogue Jedi, who may no longer be canon as the original official databank " Star Wars", which contained his dark deeds, was destroyed. The Hundred Year Darkness itself was not mentioned again, that is until 2015. While the vast majority of the old Expanded Universe was reserved for Star Wars Legends, parts of these classic stories have returned to this area. The Hundred Years' Darkness is one of these tales.

After first mention in the comic Tales of the Jedi, the Hundred Year Darkness was first mentioned in the 2015 comic Star Wars #9: Showdown on the Smuggler's Moon Part II, in which the holocron containing the teachings of Master Fin-Law says:

We were once brothers in the Force, but out of the Hundred Years of Darkness the Sith were born.

It is clear here that the Sith originated from the same time period, but it is unclear exactly how this happened. Fans know that mythology " Star Wars" is quite specific, and this Jedi Master does not mention anything about the rogue Jedi who caused the creation of the poems.

LUKE MADE THE ORIGIN OF THE SITH CANONIC IN THE LAST JEDI

This is what the Sith Lord, Marka Ragnos, said in Tales of the Jedi:

We were once mighty Jedi of the Republic, brothers in the Force. But the Great Schism between the dark side and the light turned the Jedi against the Jedi.

Compared to Fin-Law's words, it is obvious that the main difference is the mention of the Jedi. Ragnos reminds us that they were all once Jedi, something that Luke Skywalker also subtly mentions in " The Last Jedi", before blaming the Jedi for the Sith uprising.

Luke talks about this as part of his teaching to Rey:

Lesson two: Now that they are extinct, the Jedi are romanticized - deified. But if you put the myth aside and look at their actions from the birth of the Sith to the fall of the Republic, the Jedi's legacy is a failure. Hypocrisy, pride.

Here, Luke views the creation of the Sith as a failure of the Jedi; this is the first mention of the Jedi in direct relation to the formulation of the Sith in canon, especially in relation to the films " Star Wars».

Fans of the franchise may never get to see Korriban or hear the stories of Naga Sadow and Exar Kuna on the big screen, but looking at all the content that Lucasfilm has released over the past few years, the birth of the Sith has already been laid out, and it seems that the official position is at least The extent to which Luke is concerned is that the Jedi were responsible. We may not have heard of the unnamed rogue whose only mention in canon appears to be in old version website " Star Wars", but it is clear that these former brothers in the Force split thousands of years ago, and during the hundred-year period, the Sith Order was formed.

The world is a lie, there is only passion
Only through her will I gain power
Only through might will I gain power
Only through power will victory be mine
A victory that will break my chains
The power will give me freedom
(Sith Code)

Many years ago, a group of heretical Jedi discovered that much more Force could be gained not through meditation, but through an outpouring of emotions. This is how the first dark Jedi appeared, and his name was Xendor.
Thus began the Great Jedi Schism.

It is quite understandable that the Republic tried to destroy the heretics.
The remnants of the Dark Jedi fled to the outskirts of the Universe, where they captured the planet Korriban, inhabited by the primitive humanoid race of the Sith. From now on, the invaders began to be called the Dark Lord of Sith. Over time, the Sith and their gods became one. Already in those years, a prophecy appeared among them about the Messiah Sithari, who would come and restore the balance of Power.

5,000 years ago, the Republic found the Sith and tried to destroy them again. Thus began the War-In-Hyperspace. The Sith fleet was destroyed, and the Sith Lord Naga Sadow was sent into torpor. His companions fled to unexplored regions of the Universe.

ANCIENT SITH WARS

Several centuries later, Jedi Freedon Nadd fell to the Dark Side. On Yavin 4, he found and brought Naga Sadow out of torpor, who made him into a normal sidhe. It is known that soon after this, Freedon Nadd killed his master, and he himself seized power in the Onderon System.

400 years later, another Jedi, Exar Kun, found Freedon's grave, which was simply overflowing with dark energy. The ghost of Freedon seduced Exar, but was himself destroyed by the latter's student. Exar, who continued his search, found the ghost of the dark lord Marka Ragnos, who made him a full-fledged Sith Lord. Already a Sith Lord, Exar took the fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-droma as his student. So it began Great War Sith.

During this war, a huge number of Jedi were killed. Ultimately, Ulic realized his mistake and surrendered his master and his lair on Yavin 4 to the Republicans. Having drunk on the energy of his Massassi warriors, Exar Kun left his physical body and imprisoned his spirit within the walls of the Massassi temple on Yavin 4. Many centuries later, his spirit, maddened by loneliness, would be destroyed by a group of Luke Skywalker's students.
During the legendary Purge of the Nine Houses, the Republic destroyed the Sith again.

Forty years later, the Jedi Revan and Malak, heroes of the Mandorion wars with the undead Sith, fell to the Dark Side and revived the Dark Order. Using the discovered factory of the ancient Rakatans, the Forge of Stars, they riveted together a powerful fleet and attacked the Republic. Thus began the Second Sith War.
Revan was a strategic genius, so the Republic's losses were especially terrible. During Malak's plot to become the Chief Sith, Revan's mind was destroyed and later restored as a purified Jedi. Revan found three Star Maps, and with their help, a new Sith lair. Revan attacked the Forge, killed legions of Dark Jedi, and then Malak and his student Bastila Shan.
A year later, Revan will go in search of the undead Sith and disappear forever.

Despite the victory, difficult times came for the Jedi. The enemy was unknown and, in addition, dealt blows emanating from the Force itself. It was the work of the Lord of Hunger, Darth Nigilius, and the Lord of Pain, Darth Sion. They were students of the former Jedi Krei. He used to be Rivan's teacher, and now he himself has become a Sith named Lord of Treason Darth Trai. One of the last surviving Jedi, Revan's former general, was able to turn the tide of the Dark Force against them. So three Sith were gone.

NEW SITH WARS

2000 years ago, one of the Jedi of the restored Order fell again to the Dark Side. The New Sith Wars began, during which the Sith almost killed each other. Lord Kaan, concerned about such internecine strife, decided to eliminate the problem. He created the “Brotherhood of Darkness” and gave the status of Dark Lord to many so that they would no longer squabble among themselves.

At the Battle of Ruusan, the Jedi, led by Lord Hoz, completely defeated the Sith. The dying Kaan activated the Ancient Sith Bomb, which destroyed everyone - both the winners and the vanquished.

Only the Sith Lord Bane survived, who after this carried out the last reforms. From now on, there can only be two Siths - a teacher and a student, although both have the status of Lord of the Sith. In addition to this, each Sith had to take a new name for himself, like in ancient times, starting with “Darth”.

After this, the Sith hid for many centuries, until Darth Sidious and Darth Maul began the war for Naboo, which we already know from the first episode. We know further events. Darth Maul died. Darth Tyrannus appeared. Darth Tyrannus died along with the Republic. Darth Vader appeared. After which, in the sixth episode, Darth Sidious and Darth Vader finally killed each other during the Battle of Endor. Both Siths are gone, but we already know very well that this is the end for them.

Six years later, the Emperor returned as a clone. Due to severe decay, he was forced to constantly change his body and slowly go crazy. The troops loyal to him captured Coruscant, but the Emperor himself finally died on Onderon when the dying Jedi Impatios Brand bound the Emperor's spirit with his own and dissolved them in the Force.

The Jedi have revived their order. Sith too. This was done by Lumiya, the Hand of the Emperor and Darth Vader's secret disciple. Although both of her students died, she herself disappeared into the endless expanses of the Universe.
