#sith order

like. these are not neutral historians. these are not unbiased narrators. these are men who wake up every morning and choose manipulation as a lifestyle.

and yet people hear palpatine whispering into anakin’s ear like “the jedi are hiding things from you… they don’t trust you…” and go. wow. compelling. source: dude in a hood who has never told the truth once in his life.

HELLO???

of course he’s going to say that. what else is he supposed to do. sit anakin down and go “hi yes i am actively trying to emotionally isolate you from your support system so i can turn you into my apprentice and ruin your life” like be serious 😭

same with maul going “you’ve been indoctrinated by the jedi” as if HE wasn’t raised in a sith pipeline since childhood. sir. that is not a revelation.

and dooku. walking around like a philosophy professor going “the republic is corrupt” yeah okay, we know, and your solution is… fascism with extra lightning???

Nightbrothers are the Nightsisters slaves. Even the Nightbrothers be protecting each other from those evil ass witches. Mfs don't have shit. they cant leave the planet. you know they cant read, write, or do basic math. They've been enslaved by these fucked up in the head hoes for generations. They dont know no better for themselves.

Like all Disney canon Star Wars material expects you to just brush this off but Maul is a product of sexual assault. Maul's father did not consent to what happened to him, nor was he able to refuse bc know the nightsisters be using their fucked up magic to mentally control the nightbrothers.

"where's maul's father?"

Mother Talzin sexually assaulted him, and killed him once she got what she wanted. It's fucked up that Talzin is so hellbent on getting Maul back bc she just wants her slave back. Savage didn't get any special treatment, neither did Feral.

Like the story really wants me to hate Sidious for taking Maul away from them, but Sidious really did Maul a favor bc lil bro the alternative life you were taken from was "you turn 18, a nightsister thinks youre a good mate, she fucks you, she gets pregnant, she kills you. Or, maybe you get passed around to other nightsisters if they think you have a few more in you. Then you get killed."

And for funsies here are your Star Wars faves from this past week!

Meanwhile, Luke and his order do NOT kriff around when the word Sith comes up. The second the council gets word from Ben Skywalker that a new group of Sith is out there, they ask no questions, they have no debate, they just fuel up the Stealth Xs, load the blasters, and issue the thermal detonators. They don’t care if it’s only a dark Jedi group or a hunger/exhaustion induced hallucination, they’re not risking a repeat of the Jedi purge and the Galactic Empire.

Old: “Masters, I encountered a Force strong warrior with clear Jedi training who I think might be a Sith.” “Hm, well the Sith have been extinct for a thousand years, I’m not sure they could just show up again, but we’ll investigate the situation and respond accordingly.”

New: “Master Skywalker, I had a nightmare about a Sith under my bed last ni-“ *rest of statement is cut off by Luke, all available Jedi Masters and Knights, the Solos, Rogue Squadron, the Wraiths, and a hundred Noghri trampling over each other to surround the dormitory, evacuate all Jedi younglings to the Hapes Consortium aboard the Errant Venture, promote a dozen of the older apprentices to knighthood to increase their odds, get Talon Karrde’s organization sweeping the galaxy for any whisper of where the new Sith came from, coordinate with Tenel Ka to blockade the entire system with the Hapan navy, and call Lando for another few dozen YVH droids.

The second half of this really interests me because it comes off as Maul really wanting to have a legacy

And that makes sense, Maul is still fundamentally living by sith philosophy, and the thing sith desire above all is immortality, to be forever, not die

But none have managed, so the next best thing is a legacy, something left behind, an impact on history, something that outlines you

And when it comes to sith (or those living like sith but not calling it that even though that's totally what it is), especially rule of two sith, you can't have a legacy if you're just an apprentice, you need to kill your master and take on your own apprentice, become another link in the chain, because if all you ever are as a sith is an apprentice, you're just a dead end

Look at Tyranus, look at Vader, they don't really have legacies of their own, they're extensions of Sidious' legacy, and there's no apprentices continuing on their work, Vader had none, and Tyranus' apprentices left the sith (Ventress), turned on him took on a new master and died (Savage), and returned to the light (Vos)

(Kylo ren can also be included in this sith apprentice dead end list)

challenged myself to redesign darth talon.
