[star wars][stupid] Here's my crack theory about the star wars trilogy trilogy now that it's done
Quinneapolis
Historically, there was no such thing as the Sith
Quinneapolis
it was, in fact, just a legend
Quinneapolis
what is presented in the series is entirely Palpatine using a made-up boogeyman name to fuck with people
Quinneapolis
let's go over all our sith
Quinneapolis
(btw I'm only counting movies as canon for this)
Quinneapolis
Darth Maul: Backstory unclear, but it's pretty fair to assume he was indoctrinated and trained by Papa Sheev
Quinneapolis
Darth Vader: Serves Palpatine directly
Quinneapolis
Snoke: Palpatine literally says "I made Snoke"
Quinneapolis
Kylo Ren: Serves Snoke, who is a puppet of Palpatine
Quinneapolis
the Sith are just a series of rubes being bamboozled by Sheev
Quinneapolis
Palpatine does say "All the Sith live in me" in the TRoS finale but like. probably lying
Quinneapolis
or maybe he just means Maul and Snoke live in him
Quinneapolis
"Both of the Sith live in me"
shivorce
what about dooku?
Quinneapolis
I forget what Dooku's backstory isi
shivorce
fair tbh
Quinneapolis
do we know how he became a sith
Quinneapolis
for example do we know it wasn't Sheev's idea
shivorce
he was yoda's padawan
shivorce
and then turned dark side but the details of which aren't in the movies
Quinneapolis
maybe Sheev was whispering dark secrets in his ear while he was slumming with yoda
kamikasei
As far as I know it was Sheev's idea even in the extended canon, he was a retired Jedi
Quinneapolis
the two sides of the force: The light side, and Sheev Palpatine
Rama
Darths & Droids went with basically this interpretation
Quinneapolis
I do recall this
Rama
Except it was Anakin doing the bamboozling
Quinneapolis
anakin bamboozled himself
Rama
The fact that he turned out to have gotten an immediate comeuppance, that we only figured out at the end of ESB, was incredible
