    Almost entirely unrelated, but it’s interesting how enduring the “rebel scum” line has been, given that it was first said by some no-name imperial officer in the shield generator room on Endor, who was then promptly knocked into a pit when Han threw a box at him.

    Edit: I looked up the original scene, and it seems I slightly misremembered the order of events, but the core of the point still stands

    Man, the “only a Sith deals in absolutes” line was really one of those things that sounded a lot better on paper than it actually turned out to be.

    Even beyond the obvious self-contradiction, “dealing in absolutes” is such a weird attribute to describe as unique to the Sith… Like, the identifying mark of a Sith isn’t their hunger for power and control, nor their mastery of the Dark Side, it’s that they aren’t moral relativists? Really?










  • I had always thought it was an “all Sith are Dark Jedi, but not all Dark Jedi are Sith” thing. In that Dark Jedi are any force users that embrace the Dark Side, while the Sith represent a specific lineage/tradition of Dark Jedi, tracing back to the Sith species and the Sith Empire.
