True true

If my nose is dripping, I usually go blow it.

Jedi do got that boomer rizz

the sith definitely embrace joy

One of my favorite quotes.

well that was wise

@@smushily_373 lol! That has always bothered me about the Sith. There's this gap between how the Sith act and what their philosophy actually says. If you take a look at the Sith Code, there's nothing inherently evil about it... it's essentially Nietzsche's philosophy but with space magic. Ultimately, the Sith are only the bad guys due to the plot and the way the Dark Side works... Except for Lana, she's goat...

@@rodrigomeneguitirodrigues7389we’ll eat look at todays people who embrace full emotions…. Dictators. Stalkers. Killers. Ambitious people which involves killing or enslaving. For some reason, those who fully embrace emotions and don’t practice restraint, cuz the sith code is basically telling you to not restrain yourself, you do more damage and are more prone to be chaotic than someone who holds themselves back. The flaw of both sith and jedi are…. That they are extremes of one side. This is no different than people of today. But the Jedi and sith actualy have power to make the change they want. That’s the real difference. Also try to watch videos which have involves emotional individuals. When angered, they get violent, they attack because they are letting their “EMOTIONS” get the better of them. So people will say the sith are best with emotions…. No, they are not.

Through power they gain victory, and through victory, your chains are broken

"When you get the money, you get the power. When you get the power, then you get the pussy." - Master Montana

No it not just power of the dark side of the force. Please understand that Sith are trained to breakdown Jedi Knights defensives. Jedi Knights are trained to be like Space Cops not duelist which are illegal in the Old Republic. That why Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Darth Sidious had such an advantage.

Remember Darth Vader couldn't straight defeat Luke Skywalker in a fight when he was a Padawan, he got inside his head that how he defeated him. He got him angry and making losing his cool braking his connection to the light side of the force which made him weak.

So the Sith are specialist in duels and fighting with lightsabers. Notice that Jedi Master Sol defeat Qimir in hand to hand combat not in a lightsaber duel.

But he uses cortosa. He does not win or will not feel he won because he was the most powerful warrior, but because of tricks. Sith and Jedi refuse to use a trick which implies to on and on again your light saber to gain advantage (it's called Trakata). they refuse to use it for different reasons, sith for example consider their power came from passion rather than practicality, so they would be seen as less by using nothing else but their sheer power. Trough history since a jedi consular come out with trakata even sith baned it for their combat "rules", as is was a display of weakness and thus assuming that you were inferior because you needed to resort to a scheme making believe you wouldn't be powerful enough to defeat your enemy. Trakata was so a technique for the weak and I can't remember one Lord of the sith using it. That brings more wood to the fire, and on episode 5 of the acolyte the use of cortosa in a cheap trick comparable to trakata and in my humble opinion, even it may look cool watching the fight, Disney breaks the lore again and I'm really disgusted by it, after all and and so much money (someone made the calculations that 1 minute of the acolyte equals 1 million dollars) Disney can't get writers above the level of trainees. Keep your hate comments inside, this is my opinion and everyone have to one, if I see opposite to mine I may debate them but I'll keep the respect button on. Cheers

⁠​⁠@@Maddog-xc2zv an entire platoon of jedi going at a single man is at least as unsportsmanlike as using trakata or relying on cortosis to win. There‘s a point at which not taking advantage of all the means at your disposal becomes incompatible with survival. And a Sith will always choose survival over honour. For a while Darth Bane allowed some sort of insects to cover his skin and feed off him, because that made him impervious to light-sabers and less sensitive to attacks through the Force. If that‘s Sith-like for Darth Bane, how can using Cortosis be wrong from a Sith perspective? Bane’s apprentice, Darth Zannah used Sith alchemy to defeat her master exactly because she was no match for him in combat. Bane himself told her alchemy was her best bet to overcome him one day. Again: How is the use of alchemy to reduce an opponent‘s ability to fight okay when the use of cortosis is not?

@@Maddog-xc2zvI mean in legends sith used red crystals because they were synthetic and easier to obtain but also because they has (however small) a chance to short out another lightsaber. Just because there’s a dogma doesn’t mean each sith or Jedi follows every rule all the time

@@MrAranton Padowans, you mean? There is a recent knight and at most likely only a master. As the video theme calls out, sith apprentices, and we don't know if that guy is the master, are killing machine of jedi master, even council members at the time they reveal themselves. It's stupid but 100 years BBY, or 126, they (jedi) still don't know what form VII Juyo is and are caught by surprised? Jedi are nerfed, even more than the usual, and dumb, also more than usual... there's simply no coherence in the back story or story line at all, sorry. Keep your opinion, I'll keep mine: Lore is being broken.

@@natethornnstuff1783 Go say that to Bane, who started the rule of two. If he caught this supposed sith doing this he would kill him himself as he destroyed the sith brotherhood because they were making the sith weak. Again, keep your opinion if you like, I'll keep mine that lore is being broken. And no one survived to tell the sith have ressurged again. Or he entitles himself as sith and he's just a dark jedi, or Maul was not the first sith to appear after 1000k years. Lot of loopholes, very poor writting by people who doesn't understand or have knowledge of SW knowledge or lore. Disney is getting crappier by the day, lazy, uninterested, suffering from corporative autism. Cheers

This!

Exactly. And the belief that the order is not teaching the students that everyone does not behave or fight with honor, so they must be prepared to defend against that, while maintain their own honor is poor training.

@@ethanholmes4321 rules are for a Competition in a ring. Out in real life thare is just win or die. Who was good who was bad who was right who was wrong dosnt matter just who wins.

Only a naive fool expects a fair fight in war. And the Rule of Two was designed to ensure that each successive Sith would be stronger than the last. Ruthless, brutal, and not for the faint if heart, but it works.

yup, dirty tricks, magic, op gear, sith do whaterever it takes to win

They are indeed, cool. Cold as ice, you might say.

I think you mean alien (to earth) breast milk

Not the blue milk 🥛😂

And that's why Palpatine and Vader could dominate every Jedi even as old men?

​@artemonz1851 didn't Palpetine nearly lose to Windu if Anakin didn't involved? And didn't Vader threw Palpetine down the reactor shaft because he was busy being too arrogant against Luke?

@@Tuturial464it’s confirmed that windu beat palpatine in lightsaber combat but palpatine was holding back using his force lightning to manipulate anakin. Palpatine could’ve put more power I his lightning but didn’t seem weak but he was about to overpower windu

Yeah....no. it wouldnt matter how much power he put into his lightning...it was reflected back on him. ​@dwbi16

​@hitmixhyepock9405 according to the novel this is true It's implied that he was playing with his food while fighting windu, even stopping to throw in some taunts, but windu was taking it very seriously and by the end sidious was genuinely caught off guard. Anakin absolutely saved his life

If you look closely in the first part of the fight, he turns his saber off and back on there too.

In someways the Jedi durning the High Repbulican to the Clone Wars try to mold their students into the near perfect Jedi when they should be do a more postive version of RoT Sith help them forge themselves to be the best verison of the Jedi and person they want to be. The may embrace the worse side of them while Jedi were taught to sirpress who they are while only those who may already be meant have personally more suit for Jedi being the most powerful of them.

Yeah. I think he may be a wannabe.

youre right, in the acolyte timeline its the same with Darth Tenebrous's time as Sith Lord

@@mikosyz3242yeah.. but Let’s be honest… these writers and the so called “director” have no fucking clue who that is.

@@LegendslayX I agree. Plagueis did say that the galaxy was rife with pretenders

He had already killed multiple Jedi before even using his cortosis, or at least it seems that way. The first two Jedi we see having their sabers deactivated seem very surprised, which wouldn't be the case if they had just seen this phenomenon in action. His cortosis assisted him, it's a tool, and as Yord pointed out his real strength is his fighting technique being unpredictable. You're overestimating his cortosis.

This dude is probably like the origin of darth plagues or something

And a perfect one their greatest strength is their biggest downfall

@shadekxero9040 Luke Skywalker: You're overconfidence is your weakness... Emperor Palpetine: You're faith in your friends is yours! 😏

All star wars writers and directors should be required at minimum to have watched all 6 original films.

@@dominiccastro64836*

Keep crying and maybe they will

Disney writers don't understand the force how it works they don't know the lore they don't care about continuity and consistency like Dave filoni

They must understand the ways of the force, yet they never will. Instead profit plagues their minds and drives the purpose they call entertainment

If a Jedi stays focused, they will always win - Luke Skywalker (now I may have messed this quote up, but you get it)

​@@BoagsThere are countless Sith that were stronger than 99.9999% of any Jedi who ever lived. Sith can be defeated by internal conflict or even other Sith, Jedi aren't just magically stronger than they are.

No Raven, you need to understand that Jedi Knight is like a space cop. But a Sith is an assassin. They trained specifically to kill Jedi Knights. Notice that in lightsaber fights Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Darth Sidious all could anticipate with easy what the Jedi Knights would do and kill them.

Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan was a better swordman them most Jedi Knights in the order. But notice Count Dooku defeated him with easy. That's because Anakin did not train in duel fighting combat style which is illegal in Old Republic. But the second time they meet that was not the case you can see he was ready for Count Dooku and his swordsmanship.

Then that’s his advantage. Sideous told Vader to stop fighting like a Jedi when he was spanking him in sparring

​@@coomodus2592 Sidious to Vader . . . "You fight like a Jedi"

I don’t think he is either but remember the Jedi have no experience with the Sith in this era. Even Maul takes down fully trained masters. Sidius also took down what… a dozen masters? All in 10 seconds of the fight in Revenge of the Sith.

That doesn't mean he isn't a sith. Sith don't rely on the lightsaber alone. They use the force and environment to their advantage. Plageuis and sidious mastered the 7 forms, but do it to mock the jedi. They utterly believed that they were beyond the lightsaber. Look at vititate in EU legends. He's a sith but mentally dominates his opponents during duels.

@@mgtowmonkapprenticegang8426 Might he not be just another "Dark Side User" like the Witches are? They're not Sith either, but they are Dark Siders, nonetheless.

And tyrants.

Check the 8 trillion people they have killed on screen with Genoside weapons they keep building over and over again for your answer.

They should hire James Luceno and Drew Karpyshyn those 2 authors have written my favorite Star Wars novels and because of them I am a huge Star Wars fan.

Yet another person who just accepts whatever the Jedi say as fact. The Jedi execute people constantly, whether or not it is revenge is decided in the minds of those who do the executing. Countless Jedi kill out of anger or hatred, they just pretend like they don't after the fact. Sol was extremely angry when he was about to execute Qimir, for one example. The dark side produces some of the most powerful warriors in all of Star Wars, beings who can destroy entire planets using the Force. The dark side specifically makes you strong, stronger than nearly any Jedi, it's just a shortcut to that power. It doesn't kill you either, the Living Force is the thing working against you, not the dark side. Greed or blindness kills most Sith. Yoda was barely stronger than Palpatine, and compared to the Legends Sith Palpatine is incredibly weak. Mace Windu also wasn't that strong, he defeated dark side practitioners by turning their own dark side energy back at them, not by actually being stronger than them. You also used the word balance the way the Jedi do. The Jedi believe that balance is only the light side of the Force, and involves the destruction of the dark side and all of its users. Their "balance" is galaxy side genocide of any and all users of the Force who don't follow their religion. Sith apprentices are powerful because they use emotion as power and emotions are powerful. Jedi are weak because they refuse their emotions and hide from them. In Legends Luke Skywalker created the most powerful school of Jedi to ever exist because he allowed them to have feelings and families, and taught them to use their love and desire to protect what they care about as a fuel for their power.

And almost lost to a padawan.

Too bad the show doesn’t write this kinda context in to the show.

Glad you think so!

But what they fight for is different. Anakin wanted to fight for the people. And Mace for the outdated jedi code and corrupt Republic

Well the sith have some sort of code to a degree... a degree
