#sith lore

imma walk through it, because it's worse than you think. :)

There´s a strong belief in fandom which takes for granted that Anakin was some violence inclined jock who only cared for lightsaber training without caring or getting deep into the lore of Jedi beliefs but I belive this take is wrong because canon doesn´t support this.

EP I Anakin asks Qui-Gon what a midiclorian is, how the force works, he asks Yoda what it means to be afraid and it´s interested in knowing what a chosen one is supposed to be.

In the Obi-Wan and Anakin comics he explains to Obi-Wan he sees the Jedi and the Sith as two parts or clans of the force because of their mutual origin and that they have the same problem of comunication as the people the were trying to help get along, "the open and the close" who had been fighting the same war for so many centuries that they didn´t remember why they were fighting in the first place but there was a lot of hurt for them to stop.

This may sound naive but makes sense for the jedi the sith are dead people walking with no hope of getting back to life but what the story shows us in the end is that there´s a possibility even for sith to get back if they chose to do so. The Sith are shown in some cases like Maul or Vader and even Sidious as the result of generational trauma and grooming that do evil but even them can come back.

We see Anakin talking with Padme about Jedi philosophy on EP II and actually give his own take about compassion being unconditional love which is his way of mixing his Mother guidance with Jedi beliefs.

He teaches Ahsoka the meaning of Yoda sayings and how to complement their Jedi formation with the natural worry for their men and fellow Jedi in a war. Searching to help the most people they could.

When he married Padme he knew he had to leave the Jedi Order after the war was done because they didn´t allow marriage and he wasn´t going to ask them to change this rule for his marriage and he truly wanted a life with Padme, be her husband and built a family with her.

In ROTS he wasn´t interested in the master and council post, he told Palpatine the Jedi were tired of his reforms but Palpatine imposed it on him and the Council.

What he didn´t like was the way the Council rejected him once again, showing that no matter what he did in the war for the Order or the Republic, they didn´t trust him. He tells Padmé "The Jedi Council doesn´t trust me" which is a call back to the time he was 9 and was rejected, not "The Jedi Council didnt make me a Master" his only interest in becoming a Master was getting access to the Jedi library to see if there was something there to help save Padmé.

Imo fandom listens too much to Obi-Wan´s expressions about Anakin only "thinking with his lightsaber" Obi-Wan loves Anakin but he also teased him a lot and sometimes he was also a jerk to him, Anakin was a person who honestly got into the lore of Jedi knownledge to learn their ways and understand their pov´s and even as Vader he didn´t believe the Jedi Order beliefs were wrong, he believes they betrayed their own beliefs but this doesn´t mean he doesn´t accept at least to himself, that he betrayed them.

As Vader he went so deep into the lore of the Sith he could travel in time and learned to use elemental forces as well as the link between life and death. He learned the relationship between master and apprentice and actually told Palpatine he didn´t see the need to keep the rule of Bane if that meant he had to kill him. He also developed a closer relationship with the force because he needed it to live and breathe.

In that simple maxim is the entirety of Sith philosophy. What Lord Kaan and my other, lesser predecessors could not understand is that such a fundamental truth is not evidence of insight on my part but, rather, stupidity on their part.

The force is not fire. It cannot be passed from one user's lit torch to another's, and another's, until an entire hemisphere is illuminated with a blaze of a million lights. This is what Kaan foolishly believed, and all Sith Lords before him for the past thousand years. It is why the once mighty Sith fell apart long before the defeat at Ruusan. When all carry a flame, no matter how dim and guttering it may be, they soon conclude they are the brightest stars, around which all others must orbit. Infighting follows, and Jedi victory become inevitable.

No, the Force is venom. If it is poured into many cups, it loses its potency until it becomes so diluted it is merely an irritant. yet pour those cups back into a single vessel and you will have the power to stop a Krayt dragon's heart.

This is the secret. This is the Rule of Two: One Sith must contain all the power of the dark side. One master must decide how that power shall be used. Sharing power is an act of weakness and a violation of the Sith Code.

Yet, the Sith Order must survive after the Master perishes. For this reason, the Master must take on an apprentice. The Master instructs the pupil but never gives up the smallest sliver of power. The apprentice learns through years of study but must struggle for every achievement. if the apprentice becomes strong enough, a battle to the death will prove it. If the Master should be struck down, the apprentice becomes the Master-- and the Order continues.

Together the two may attract legions of minions, but true power will remain concentrated.

Always two–– a Master and an apprentice.

How did imp fashion designers survive any of their customer? Or did the sith design their armour/gowns/looks... themselves?

Imagine fashion class on Korriban that you had to pass as a sith, and no one takes you as apprentice if you fail to design and produce at least one collection of you own sithy brand??
