    How is Darth Vader considered to be a sith lord as opposed to a regular dark jedi? He doesn't appear to have learned the teachings of the ancient sith, all he really seems to be is an agent for palpatine and his empire. he obviously does crave power for himself, due to his offer to luke (overthrow the emperor and rule the galaxy) in The Empire strikes back, and in Legends, his training of starkiller. while this in itself is a characteristic of the sith, many sources seem to say that learning the teachings of the sith order is a major part of being a sith lord.

    In Legends he did interact with artifacts and lore somewhat.

    This a guy who at one point survived a cave collapsing the same way Darth Sion kept walking, sheer hatred and willpower.

    He is a Sith.

    He was granted the title of Darth by Sidious using traditional sith practices. There should be no doubt that he's a Sith, even if you just go by the movies.

    well, seeing that you've been a member here since i was 5, was it at least a good question? Just recently, i'm diving hard into legends. halfway through thrawn trilogy, with dark empire and Revan novel on deck.

    You at least acknowledged the difference between a dark Jedi and a Sith so it wasn't entirely an uneducated question.

    It was indeed a good question regardless.

    Well, in Bane's Rule of Two era, your Sith Master is the only one who can declare you Sith Lord.

    Before Ruusan, I think you have to rule a planet (See Knight Errant), then you automatically are a Sith Lord, even if you were female.
