Bungholiyo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Did you know that jedi who turn to the dark side are technically not Sith the are known as dark jedi. For example count Dooku and Anakin. However, the emperor wanted Luke as an aprrentice as he was not a jedi yet thus he would be Sith. Mind boggling. Thanks Darth Bane for rule of 2!!

bfishback Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Not really. Dark Jedi are just fallen Jedi who don't become a Sith, they just use the dark side of the force for personal gain. This is even stated in the last of the Bane books, as there is a Dark Jedi. Totally forget his name. A Jedi who falls then joins the Sith would still be considered a Sith.

Adapterr Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sith = Anyone campaigning against the Jedi who is force sensitive, wields a lightsaber, and praises the empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramell Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Did you know that jedi who turn to the dark side are technically not Sith the are known as dark jedi. For example count Dooku and Anakin. However, the emperor wanted Luke as an aprrentice as he was not a jedi yet thus he would be Sith. Mind boggling. Thanks Darth Bane for rule of 2!! You've sort of misunderstood how it works. Neither Dooku nor Anakin were really Dark Jedi. Dooku only joined the Dark Side when Sidious took him on as an apprentice, which made him a Sith. The same for Anakin, though he was much closer to the Dark Side before joining the Sith. Luke would have been a Sith if he joined Sidious, even if he had been a Jedi. Luke would later become Sidious' apprentice (Sidious was inhabiting a clone body), after he had become a Jedi. He was a Sith apprentice then, though he did not recieve the Darth title or a Sith name as far as I'm aware. To sum it up: A Jedi that falls to the Dark Side is a Dark Jedi. A Jedi that falls to the Dark Side and joins the Sith is a Sith. A Force-sensitive that falls to the Dark Side is a Dark Side Force-user. A Force-sensitive that is not a Jedi that falls to the Dark Side and joins the Sith is a Sith. It is entirely possible to be a Sith while having been a Jedi previously.

psychogobstopper Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 A Force-sensitive that falls to the Dark Side is a Dark Side Force-user. The EU (particularly in the days when Bantam held the novel publishing license) used to use the "Dark Jedi" term to encompass these individuals as well, even if they had never been a member of the Jedi Order.

FordPrefect Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Lets not forget that Emporer, Vadar, Bane, etc weren't actually Sith since Sith is an actual species since we getting all technical about it, lol (hey, i just read revan so sue me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechavomit Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Dooku is very much a Sith. Especially by that time's standarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seajaydubya Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 To be Sith is to be part of a culture, not a species, or a religion. There are Kesh and Human Sith in the "Fate of the Jedi" book series. Kinda nitpicky on my part, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwyn Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So what's with the Sith at the entrance to the Sith Academy who wants you to scan various Sith Lords for their blood content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychogobstopper Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So what's with the Sith at the entrance to the Sith Academy who wants you to scan various Sith Lords for their blood content? He believes that only Pureblood Sith are worthy of taking important roles in the hierarchy of the Sith Empire and Sith Order, and that anyone who is Sith by culture or religion (rather than by species) is inferior. Such Sith can still be part of the Order and the Empire, but from his perspective are not fit to be instructors and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
