The only other "Sith" lurking at this time that aren't Bane's sith are the Lost Tribe of the Sith. But they are stuck on a god forsaken planet, where no other civilization knows there location, and are basically just twiddling there thumbs until they are found in "Fate of the Jedi". That's why i said there should only be 2 sith AFFECTING THE GALAXY. Because i know there are actually more sith in the GFFA then just Bane's Sith. However the only sith that are really affecting the galaxy in negative ways (trying to cause havoc, destroy the republic/jedi, etc) are the "Order of the Sith Lords". This is there moment to shine. Yes more Sith groups then just the Lost Tribe would exist. But Lumiya's sith and the One Sith havn't been created yet, they are only created after RoTJ.
Or Ventress vs Aurra. I still think they made Ventress a bounty hunter because they are afraid to let Aurra use her Force sensitivity. Now Maul and Randy are both "Lords of the Sith." Maul seems to be fine, albeit a former Sith apprentice, but Randy?
I'm guessing the Venator-class will be referred to as "Sith cruisers" after the Empire is declared...
The EU has shown plenty of dark side users using red blades, who arn't sith. Though just because many dark jedi (not all of them) use red blades because of the Sith tradition, doesn't make them sith themselves. However the TCW writers haven't made Ventress a Sith. Yes she wasn't a sith in C-canon but a dark jedi, but since they already are bringing more then 2 sith in TCW, then they hypothetically could have made Venterss a Sith. I'm glad though that they care for SOME c-canon at least. So they haven't fully gone over to the "EVERYONE USING A RED BLADE IS A SITH" side.
Even in the most recent (relative to Bane) incarnation of the Sith, they arose approximately 2,000 prior to TPM were a Force to be reckoned with for 1,000 years, then went into hiding per Bane's strategy for 1,000 years before rising again with a pitifully short reign under Palpatine.
But this is only your opinion on what a good story should be. And as you have yet to see this story develop, it seems harsh to pan it so quickly. Yes, you might not like where it is going, nor do I. But there is nothing in universe that would stop Maul from declaring himself a Sith Lord and Savage his apprentice. Thus making them Sith Lords. Hey, they have as much claim to the title as Jacen. Just because some guy thousands of years ago said there will only be two Sith doesn't mean that has ever been stuck to rigorously. Didn't Darth Plagueis prove that pretty clearly? It is a rule that is played with a lot by the Sith within the Bane line, but that rule has NO baring what so ever on anyone outside of that line. And Maul is defiantly outside of that line so he should not be feeling any trepidation about stepping on it. Even look at our own history and the Popes, there have been times where there have been two Popes at the same time. That isn't supposed to happen. Or look at Roman history, many times there were multiple "Emperors" running around. This stuff happens.
I understand. I really don't mind Maul being considered a "sith" because he has had all the sith teachings and training that members of the "Order of the Sith Lords" get. But Randy (what's up with this nickname anyways?) hasn't had any. I could live with 3 sith, but making Savage a Sith just seems like they are making him more of a maul clone then he already is (who thought that was possible?). I prefer Savage as just a lackey, someone who Maul never sees as a true sith. The benefit of this scenario is that Savage may grow to resent Maul for not considering him a Sith. If this scenario came to fruition, then Savage could be the one to kill Maul. Sure i would prefer someone else to do it, but its better then the other option of Maul not dying.
Yes, I know. But do you think TCW is friendly toward the EU? I would like them to actually say that Ventress is (well, now, "was" ) a Dark Acolyte, or Dark Jedi, ect. I bet they are afraid that kids might confuse the term "Dark Jedi" with the actual Jedi. I know it's not a part of canon, but the "Ventress the Sith" for TCW always reminds me of that old teaser for Cloak of Darkness back in 08 on Cartoon Network. I still think it's for the kids, like certain aliens speaking basic, no subtitles, and even with the whole Ventress vs Aurra debate. Kids must be completely stupid. The whole "Jedi cruiser" seems to be a different story. Possibly their ignorance/avoidance of canon. I only once heard them say the CIS' full name, instead of saying the dreaded "Separatist alliance" name.
Randy was trained by Dooku about as much as Ventress was so hes a sith apprentice. No hate but the rule of two is just so limiting you kill off the big bad and his partner and wait for the next big bad sith to pop up. I didn't buy that all that conflict between the sith made them weak. I mean look at the jedi they have a huge order with dissenting opinions all the time but its never noted that this is making them weak. Of course sith and jedi philosophies are very different but ultimately its about numbers
You know, Dooku trained/oversaw his other Acolytes during their training, but they weren't named his Sith apprentices. To me, Randy, like Ventress (at one point), is a Dark Acolyte. I guess now that he left Dooku, the guy is confused, and when he reunites with Maul, he declares himself a Sith or Maul declares them both Sith. Like I said before, Maul seems to be fine, but Randy being a Sith is just nonsense.
IIRC, TCW (especially its promotional material) has referred to Ventress as a Sith. Wasn't she referred to as a "Sith apprentice" in Nightsisters? Promotional material has referred to Ventress as a Sith multiple times.
Yes his reign was short. But remember. They destroyed the Old Republic, something that NONE OF THE SITH, had done before. Also remember they were able to do this with lesser amounts of sith. Just goes to show you there strength. Im not saying that the Sith before the Rule of Two weren't strong. They were in there own ways. But the Rule of Two members were stronger. One of the strengths of the Order of the Sith Lords is they relied more on non-force sensativs then the earlier sith. In ways, it was more effective to use clone troopers and politics to defeat the jedi, not by massive amounts of dark side users. All sith through out the eras have there strengths and weakness, even the Rule of Two sith. I just think the "Order of the Sith Lords" had more pros then the earlier sith. Of course they still had cons, just less amounts then the earlier sith.
Well then they are wrong. But i don't remember any promotional material referring to her as a sith. Can you give me an example? Also no where on her wookipedia page is her being a sith mentioned. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Asajj_Ventress
If you look at my post above, I said that I remember a teaser for Cloak of Darkness back in 08 on Cartoon Network. They called Ventress a Sith, which is completely false.
Ok thanks, well you know sometimes people make mistakes. At least they aren't referring to elite normal clones as ARC troopers, because ARC troopers are supposed to be a special brand of bred clones......o wait.
Oh I bet the new SW fans call her a Sith. It's okay, they're just lost and confused, thanks to TCW. Just like now they might think an ordinary clone trooper could be 'promoted to ARC trooper'...
Here's a pretty blatant example from Star Wars Insider, even though this was promo for the episodes that were severing her connection with the Sith. I'm pretty sure she was called a Sith apprentice or something in "Nightsisters". I've always thought of Ventress as a Dark Acolyte, but I've just given up pointing that out when it comes to TCW. TCW is wrong, that's nothing new.
Well, he was a Sith apprentice apprentice so, I guess he's as much as a Sith as Ventress is. Ah, who knows. Guess we'll see what the show itself says when it comes back.
LOL I can see it now. If a kid of the TCW generation ever played Dark Forces 2, he would be like..... "OMG, why are these Sith called dark jedi? Aren't they using the dark side? They must be sith then. Their not even carrying red lightsabers except for this Jerec and Maw guy. But i thought Sith are all supposed to carry red blades. This game makes NO SENSE!!!!!! It's GOING AGAINST CANON".
