- The Sith often times are described as the evil counterparts of the Jedi. But we don't really see things in black and white everything is kind of a muddy greyish color to us. Today we're going to explain to you guys why the Sith aren't really all that bad.

The Jedi and Sith are both flawed in many ways. A living being should be able to embrace their emotions but at the same time not let it consume them
Grand Admiral Thrawn that’s strange coming from Chiss but you words are always wise
Jedi supress their emotions to much. As Sith are like short-tempered brats. One extreme to another doesn't resolve the other
Grand Admiral Thrawn Should yes. Capable? Probably not.
Grand Admiral Thrawn Don't say the Sith are flawed or you'll choke on your own words.

Never thought I’d see Darth Sidious with a bunny.
there's a real good chance he will eat it
xbaumann Gooooood....gooooooddd bunny.....
Turns out he actually has a massive bunny pen in then imperial palace
Palpatine is suddently a lot less intimidating now that his secret love of bunnies has been exposed....
Bunny :3
"Join the dark-" "done !" "...wh- but I didnt even...???" "Heh, jedi are lame, now lets go destroy something."
Some Cheese k
nameless face in the crowd my reaction on a dark side invite : fck yeah, now let's go rekt some stuff
Personally I like the Jedi better.
Red Five How.
almightyinferno yes thank you
The dark side has milk and cookies.
Time to join the dark side
bat-a -rang blue milk*
the institute has toilet paper
Don't forget bunnies! Join us, now.
bat-a -rang oh shit really?! Sign me up?
I still say both sides did not see the Full Picture because they only saw things on One Side of the Force rather than both sides for the entire picture.
Indeed. Really hoping Luke hands down some knowledge in the new movie. It's the perfect way to make Ray unreasonably awesome because Luke can be her teacher and i doubt anyone could argue with Luke's results.
Also excited to see him do literally anything. They could sip tea the entire movie and i would enjoy it.
Revan was one who had seen both sides of the force
orrthehunter Perhaps a new neutral order will be formed? That's what Luke implied in a trailer for the Last Jedi, anyways. Maybe they'll all use purple lightsabers, symbolizing the balance of red (Sith) and blue (Jedi). I mean, Mace Windu, as stubborn and foolish as he was, technically demonstrated traits of both the Jedi and Sith, and ultimately, his open ended point of view almost allowed him to kill the emperor and save everything, simply because he had less morals to hold him back in the end. If anything, this connection would make sense if the whole "Snoke is Mace Windu" theory ends up being true. Even though I highly doubt that...here's to blindly hoping!
We as the story goes on it seems the Jedi are destined to one day be destroyed as well. From the Prophecy the chosen one will bring balance to the Force but the Jedi only saw it as a one sided Prophecy but the truth is both Jedi and Sith are the source of the imbalance to the Force which is why both Jedi and Sith had to be destroyed. Anakin basically fulfilled this Prophecy by destroying the Jedi Order first which eventually lead to the Jedi slowing dying over time due to the few survivors and eventually he killed Palpatine resulting in the destruction of the Sith by having the last and only 2 Sith die.
The Force is stupid
Technology always beat weak flimsy magic
Palpatine: Gooood...you have done well, my apprentice. Your chest of Imperial Credits will arrive on a transport ship shortly.
we agreed on grade AAA ewok meat
Just remember not to cook the Ewok meat for too long or its gets too tough to chew up.
i think the exploding death star took care of the barbeque
Generation Tech
Vader: We are altering the deal, pray that we do not alter it further...
does that mean this channel will be destroyed by the sith? I'm disappointed in their lack of faith in their main source of propaganda.
Darth Vader would have been a much better ruler for the Empire than Palpatine. Palpatine was addicted to power and achieving more was his only goal in life. He did not care about what happened to the Galaxy. He didn't know the true state of affairs. He only focused other dark side of the force. Vader however, would have been actively engaged in ruling the Empire. Palpatine was just a crazed sociopath who was born into a wealthy family. He never really experienced the trials necessary to make a true Sith. Vader had grown up a slave, and experienced life differently, losing more, going through the trials that forge someone who truly can rule the Galaxy. Palpatine was experienced in politics, but only because he could manipulate everyone around him and bend them to his will. Vader also had much more military experience than Palpatine and many generals. He would be actively engaged in crushing the rebellion and would have the sense not to build Death Stars. To sum up, I think Darth Vader would made a much better candidate for emperor tha Palpatine. Long live the Empire!
Kahn Family I still say that I'd be best.
Darth Sidious There were warriors...generals in our own history who went on to become President...if they can do it, why can’t Vader be Emperor? If he wasn’t in that suit or if Luke did join him...the galaxy would be very different.
+Kahn Family Hell no, Vader was an emotional wreck. Also he doesn't know about the Vong.
+Joey Farrell The Legends expanded on the aspect of what if Luke had joined him (he had a vision) it didn't work out well. Palpatine senses it and he came killing Luke before he could fully trained.
+Joey Farrell Also those generals you speak off were more like Darth Malgus or Darth Marr. Vader is more like Lu Bu.
I feel like this video is brain washing me.
It's trying to lol
But that's the joke I guess
Good, very good.
Dew it!
Brain wash us that the sith aren't all bad
Pietree nah, you were brainwashed beforehand
Did anyone else see the Karl Marx photos flashing when they were talking about the Jedi making everyone conform?
Yes, as well as the slaughtered sheep
I’m impressed guys
That was getting annoying
I thought it was my computer creeped me out
It's not really that shocking that the explicitly evil ideology based on a concept literally called the fucking darkside would be appealing to capitalists.
This is treason then
Obi-Wan Kenobi
DC's Bane didn't see the light until he was a man
Darth Bane didn't join the Sith until he was a man
Coincidence???
*cue X-FILES theme*
Foolish Jedi!
Why do I see you so often in the comment section? It's almost as if we're the same person general kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi fulfil your destiny
It can't be treason when you ARE THE SENATE
“Evil is just a label we all put on those who threaten us”
Palpatine
And warmongers is a label we put on the people who try to destroy the empire
Jedi: Human nature is important but suppress your human emotions
Sith: Freedom to use the force how you want is important but bow down to our empire
logic 100
I absolutely hate absolutes!
absolutely
xL1GHTBR1NG3Rx :)
Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Wait, that is an absolute! Darth Obi Wan?
Ironic
Honestly, there is no balance in the force, with or without the Sith or Jedi. The Sith use Anger, Hate, and Fear. The Jedi reject all emotion. How in the world can that balance out? Without Joy, Love, and Hope, it can't. We are missing a third force using group, the true light side.
The darkside would be far better at least you get free cookies and to kill an animal that has killed one of your family members.
That's why they say they need to destroy the sith to bring balance to the Force. Instead of having the Jedi be a counterbalance to the Sith, they were neutral so that when there were no sith there were no imbalances
Alex - EU Luke
Ben - Ben Solo
American Ben - Ben Skywalker
Daemon Blackfyre are you saying ben is emo
Generation Tech lol no but he is an Imperial with an core world accent.
Generation Tech lol no but he is an Imperial with an core world accent.
But YOU did NOT see the Negative PART of A SITH...#1..They do not CARE if they kill billions of innocent people,as long as THEY get what THEY WANT. #2..They are not above Torturing People #3..Although They have Freedom,They Decide That Saving LIVES(innocent or no) do not Matter #4...Any Apprentice,INCLUDING the FORMER apprentice of Plagueis(Sidious) Are cruel,compassionless,indecent,uncaring,AND believes in NOT seeing anything that has to do with stuff like Extenuating Circumstances,and its ilk,when it comes to making mistakes,or just..being human,as in being careless,distracted,or just being confused at times,because things happen beyond their control(weather,bad luck,Etc)...#5...THEY...LIE,Do cruel experiments on innocent people,animals,Scheme to manip poor people into doing something wrong,kill families,Cause Parents to be childless,Children to be parentless, CREATE HORRIBLE diseases, viruses, killing machines,or Supports Building them...NEED I GO ON? To me,SITH ARE EVIL,BAD,Cruel,Cowardly,And to be FRANK, Are no better than the Adolf Hitler..Hey,you tell me...Are all I mention GOOD,when it comes TO helping others?
waynec38 i almost xonsidered reaping your list.
Then i pressed read more.
Grey Jedi is where it's at baby!
Because the dark side is not evil. Fear also leads to the dark side so fearing that and ignoring emotion is obviously going to make more sith.
Only balance can show you how to be truly strong in every way and not murder people just cuz you can or cuz the rules say so.
Its a me Mario grey jedi use light side and dark side and a secret wepon that can kill jedi (exept ones with plot armor and storm troopers) are LAZER GUNS
Grey Jedi are the twilight vampire hipsters of Star Wars. "I'm not a bad guy, I'm just dark and brooding."
Wait, have we ever actually seen a “grey” Jedi?
Well Yoda was a green Jedi so maybe if we look hard enough. Luke looks pretty Gray too now.
FOR THE EMPIRE
Kragnok heavyaxe HERETIC
Kragnok heavyaxe skyrim belongs to jar jar

FOR A SAFE AND SECUUURE SOCIETY!
I know I'm late but, FOR THE REPUBLIC!
There is no light side, there is no dark side, there is only the Force.
Jeffrey Foster So, The Death Eaters are the Grey Jedi in a way? Or did *You-Know-Who* just say it to trick Harry Potter into joining in?
And there's also the light and dark side.
No there’s definitely a dark side. The jedi
What the fuck is this creepy Operating system, technology undertone. I love it.
Creepy
Notice how it was mostly Apple computers?
for the record i use an iphone but i mostly use pc laptops and my homemade rig
Kind of like Windows vs Linux (or you can use OS X). Windows is good for most things in life, especially gaming, but you'll eventually have to use Linux if you go into certain fields.
Same this is a great thing you guys are doing keep up the awesome programs.
Great video. the Sith are powerful but you probably look like pale wrinkled crap when you reach unlimited power. Balance is the best way but difficult to master. Best of both worlds.
Peter Perez you can hide the wrinkled appearance with Sith Alchemy
I’d rather live a short lif as an all powerful maniac then a moderately powerful Jedi/grey Jedi
wjre5743 And the Jedi live a highly restrictive life, forcing themselves to be almost emotionless automatons.
For the record, I do like the Jedi. I'm just pointing out the flaws the Order had throughout the majority of its existence. Balance would be the best option because, as Alan stated in the video, the original Je'daii Order strived for balance in both the light and dark; not restricting themselves or leaving themselves susceptible to the pitfalls of extremism.
Peter Perez Well, Darth Bane, Darth Zannah, and Lana Beniko are just a few Sith Lords that managed to keep their good looks. But, then again, they all had relatively laid-back dispositions and never achieved *UNLIMITED POWER!!!*
Ciprian Parvu sure you can cover it up with with magic, but physically you will be drained.
Yes, both the Jedi and the Sith were wrong. The Jedi controlled their emotions but let the Force control them. Where as the Sith controlled the Force but let their emotions control them. What needs to be done is finding the balance between light and dark. Don't let the Force or your emotions control you with out controlling them. That is the way of the Grey Jedi; Balance.
Grey Jedi are overrated. Sure they struck a balance between both sides but the Darkside is malignant in nature. It's like the One Ring or a drug. It promises power and riches and fortune for those brave enough to ride it's waves. Although you may ride them for a point and find moderate success you'll ultimately become a slave to it's destructive power.
The path of grey Jedi is no path for the timid or weak willed. How many stories are there of Jedi trying to use dark side techniques for good only to wind up turning evil.
Grey Jedi *cough cough* valkorion *cough cough*
Veteran Legionary
Valkorian was the Second Sith Emperor, who made a new body for himself on his revival. He hated the Jedi and saw the Sith As incompetent, so he reorganized the sith teachings to form the Knights of the Eternal Empire. Also, Valkorian was an asshole. He literally consumed the souls of an entire planet, draining the Force from every living thing in order to cheat death.
Mega Guy43 And when he became emperor he never considered himself, only as a place holder title to manipulate the sith empire.
Veteran Legionary
He was still a sith. He channeled his passions to use his power. That's a textbook sith, he only looked to the Jedi with pure hatred and only used their structure in his military. He appalled the Light and constantly tempts your character to fall. Textbook sith.
He was also a user of Sith Alchemy and other Sith rituals and NEVER used lightside techniques.
Also, he founded the second Sith Empire, and was it's rightful ruler.
The problem with the Sith; there's a reason it was called the *Dark* Council, and why the emperor is called the *Dark* Lord. If you were a Sith of the Light, you either had to keep that fact as hidden as that Sith Shrine the Jedi of old(I think even before SWTOR), in their odd hubris, built their famous temple over(never leave an enemy stronghold in tact), or you were basically #1 enemy of the empire, with practically *every* Sith(soldier or Force user), hunting you down till you either turned to the dark side, or were killed(and they probably let anyone who would listen know you were a Sith, so even dogmatic Jedi and Republic forces were after you as well).
Another thing most Sith seem to magnify; anger and hate. Yes, they open themselves to *all* emotions, but they primarily focus on anger and hate. Living for anger and hatred, that's no life at all. And I've seen a number of people in reality in the media seemingly living a life bent on it(inspiring anger and hatred, and wanting to spread that destructive virus to everyone).
Was the Old Jedi Order often a little too dogmatic and narrow? Yes, that's why Luke modified the *New* Jedi Order to be more embracing of emotions. He found Jedi *AND* Sith knowledge wherever he could, to make a more, balanced, Jedi. This is, of couse, now part of "legends"😑.
Personally, I'd be with the Jedi, I'd be a gray Jedi, but still on their side.
Flowing through all, there is balance
There is no peace without a passion to create
There is no passion without peace to guide
Knowledge stagnates without the strength to act
Power blinds without the serenity to see
There is freedom in life
There is purpose in death
The Force is all things and I am the Force
This would be *my* code☺.
"It's an older code, but it checks out"😀(when Shuttle Tiderian was going to the moon of Endor).
Wrote a whole strory!
Epic!
Please tell me if you like my new Jedi Code.
1. Do what is right. Not what you are told
2. You may love and marry, but must consult the council before having a child
3. Control your emotion. They can cloud judgement at times.
4. Respect all life. Even that of enemies.
5. We work with all in need of help. Not just the republic.
6. In the time of war, we will only comply when truly in need.
7. All force powers can be used. But only under certain circumstances.
8. The light saber is a weapon for a more civilized era.
9. When fighting a former Padawan, look for a high ground.
10. You can be admitted to the council at jedi knight+.
I like it, especially the one about the high ground. Replace number 10 with this:
If you are on the council you will be granted the rank of master 😂😂
I like number 9 and 10
We're not bad, we're just drawn that way.
The picture of palpatine holding up a bunny shows his true nature...lol
Join the dark side.
Rhese Campbell nope
will marlatt let the hate flow through you!
Holy crap it was Highlighted!
Rhese Campbell jedi #1
Where are the cookies?
This is why I'm a Grey Jedi!
Abdulaziz Rex good for you
Choose a side loser
@@jgrillo638 - get a moral compass, loser.
Grey Jedi: *Sips tea while chaos ensues,*
if I were a Jedi then I would wait to become a Jedi knight then I would dip out of the jedi order!
Why not become a jedi master then turn to the darkside it would be much more surprising for the jedi then.
lol on the thumbnail emperor palpatine has a ring
In the words of the great philosopher Uncle Ben "try my rice it's the best."
he sounds extremely strong in the force, may the dumplings be with him
always
I just found a Porg imperial march on iTunes but no porg opening theme?!!?
There already is
Why would you kill the bunny? :(
Mine usually die from AOEs or accidents with the controls. It was really hard not to kill the bunnies in Prototype while taking out an army of not-zombies and military personnel.
It's kinda like how most people would swat a fly if they had the oppertunity to.
Not everyone would kill a bunny.But if you replace them with Porgs it would be much easier to do just that.After all they are anoying just like flys.
I'd like to try something new and I can't say I've seen someone killing a bunny before so I think its new enough.
the pc vs. mac undertones lmao
Grey Jedi is best way to go
Sith -system designed to fail too chaotic
Jedi-rigid un moving it has cost them A LOT.
Galer There's a good chance Ahsoka is a grey. I'd also say Darth Treya is more grey
good point
I honestly tend to hate the sith after watching episode lll. Seeing Anakin so heavily influenced by the dark side, that he killed younglings was disgusting. At least the Jedi try to keep peace, although sith craved war (at least before the rule of 2).
datboi knows best But they are just the opposite side of the coin rigid to a fault and value order above all else asking followers to to throw away emotions (which you kinda need) they are pretty much apathetic to the plight of others and more concerned that there is an order that,it serves "good" is irrelevant to them long as it serves order as they see it. Chaos can be good and is just important as order.
Go team gray!
I love how this is structured like some sort of 'family franchise' employee training video... 😄
i think krea from KOTOR two put this argument to better words and you have to look at both sides and find out what they offer and just use what is good from both sides.
I disagree i bit on the first one. Siths have less own will once the become one with the dark side. And the dark side is the one who decides for you.
I still agree on what you are saying
XxXDuelXxX True. If you truly commit yourself to the dark side, you loose your free will and become a slave of this aspect of the Force.
Lol, that thumbnail.

*03:13* I crack up each time the "overview card" was on, especially with that thumbs up 😂
Thumbnail tells me
Palpatine : fuzzy fuzzy bunny
Palpatine: fuzzy fuzzy Complete
Hey, this is slightly off-topic but I didn't know who/where to ask this and your channel seems to be a place I might get an answer. In Empire Strikes Back, why didn't Darth Vader recognize his old lightsaber being wielded by Luke?
Marshal Tenner Winter who says he didnt? He told him he was his father, it wouldn't have surprised anyone much
Marshal Tenner Winter my mind!!!!!
He did. That is how he also knew that Luke was his son. He had always known that Kenobi would give Luke his lightsabre. So it is when he saw the lightsabre, he also knew it was his own son he was fighting.
Marshal Tenner Winter my theory is that because Vader was separate from anakin and would have regarded the lightaber as Skywalker's and not his
He did. But it wasn't important to him anymore than him being Luke's father was at first, until he could use that fact to try to bring Luke to the Sith.
What did you expect him to do? Say "gimmie back my saber?" Or something? It's part of a life he abandoned and only represented everything he hated about his time as a Jedi.
no ads
hmmm some jedi are running youtube
Wedge Antilles We must remedy this
Count Dooku agreed
Wedge Antilles Luckily it seems that being brutally tortured by Force Lightning gets results.
Count Dooku wow after you said that. I got my first ad in this video
I think this video did more to convince me that the Sith ARE the villains more than anything.
Your channel is where I get my Star Wars need fix
Always love the certain point of view you guys bring
See what I did there lol
hehe were thinking about starting a series based on that very book
What was that editing when the clips “glitched” and your voice slowed down??
There is a flash image of a lamb with its throat slit open! Wtf!!
@@user-ri2rr5gg6n That's sick. :>:( Why that be in this video?
Dude, I just love your thumbnails. Some of them are just hilarious. Palpatine holding a kitty. ROFL!!!!!
blockmasterscott a bunny
Good points, wonderful video. Thumbs up.
The darth bane books really gave bane depth
yea one of my facorite series
Simon Willis too deep for Disney to tackle.
I disagree. I think the whole idea of rule of two is wrong and as much a broken idea as the Gungans and mediclori-whatsoever. At first it is typical Sith hybriss to think you are smarter than all the great lords before you. It may be a idea that every lord should have his own follower, but just ONE lord and ONE who follows him? This was not the way of the old Sith, of all the high lords, and it is a little bit daring to think you are the one who understand the essence of the Sith so much better than all of them - better than Exar Kun, Naga Sadow, Fredom Nadd and how all the legends Sith lords were called.
The second flaw in the idea is to think that Sith would hold a rule as sacred just for centuries, or even for a longer time. This is against anything they stand for - power is the thing they hold up. They may respect what other lords before have done and said, but they are not their slaves, nor slaves of a canon like the jedi. A Sith uses the credo as guidance, but it is not a thing which hold him without any free movement. So of course later lords would in many cases break the rule just because they think THEY are smarter than Bane.
And last, the Sith did not really respect this rule - or let us say, they used it in VERY special way. Palpatine for example had more followers than just one at time in both canon and legends who was very powerful in using the force, may it be the dark side (like the inquisitors in rebels) or a mix of both (like Mara Jade and surely other in legends)
Off topic with the video but i have to ask, did Revan want the exile to die in Malachor V? Because i found an interesting conversation with Hk-47 in Kotor 2 who said that Revan pitied the exile for his force bonding ability which proved it can be lethal to it's user when the people he/she bonds with is killed. This coupled with the fact revan spent a lot of time studying force bonds before the mandalorian wars Revan could have seen the exile as a valuable asset as well as a major threat so he sent his best general with the mass shadow generator to be killed by the immense death and destruction at Malachor V. It's a theory that probably would have been explored further in Kotor 3 if it wasn't canceled.
Yokesplooge I think Kreia said that those who died at Malachor were Revan's strongest supporters. So it seem to me that he send her there to die as he knew she wouldn't turn to the dark side and if she survived she could have become dangerous to his plans. Of course, this explanation is irrelevant when you play DS character.
Vojtěch Jehlička Actually Hk-47 said that Revan orchestrated not only the failed attempt at the exile's life but those of his Army during the Mandolorian wars whose loyalty to Revan was in question. Revan Made the Exile blow up Malachor V as well as a large chunk of his fleet that was inflated with Revan's critic's which would have killed the Exile too because of his bonding ability. The reward would be Revan gaining a fleet with loyal Followers as well as a potential threat eliminated.
*It was a typo. I meant "were NOT Revan's strongest supporters"
It was a complete success for Revan. Every piece of the puzzle worked exactly as he planned.
well if Revan truly did want the Exile dead not every piece fell into place, The Exile was simply too good to be killed by Revan. Or so i'd like to think
If I understand correctly, Revan needed her removed. And itworked, she didn't die but was broken and without the ability to use the force. I think Malak wanted her finished but Revan argued that she is already dead...which she practically was until the beginning of kotor2.
Great video as always, Alan...except for that bunny part..
:- )
Me: i’m sick
Sith lord: i’m Sith
The Sith are the good guys.
How right you are
Yes yessssss they have UNLITIMED POWER!
The Jedi defended corruption and weaklings like Valorum.

Is republic vs earth still in the works?
James Dunsmore I don’t know how we would have a chance unless it’s just a few venators.
Star Wars vs. Star Trek?
Me: "Ever heard of the Expanse?
Maaaan, I thought my phone was finally crapping out when all that flickering happened.
There was no need for those random images. Distracting, and there's no reason for them. They just detract and distract from what's being said by the narrator.
....The Force shall free me.
Wait they did care about race the old republic era
Obi-Wan Kenobi Hello again. Are you sure you won't join me? Qui-Gon would have.
Hang on Count Dooku how do you hope to be a good sith if you can't be bothered to kill your padawan's padawan? Your compassion for Obi-Wan weakens you. xD.
Being a Jedi isn’t a life to benefit yourself, it’s meant to benefit everyone else
I like how Darth Vader looks confused that Sidious has a bunny.
#PalpatineWasRight
Only Palpatine foresaw the threat of the Vong and prepared to counteract it.
I find that the Jedi have an eastern philosophy and the Sith have a western philosophy.
Jedi are ethical, the Sith are emotional.
@@gumdeo Jedi are ignorant and naive, Sith are self-serving to a fault. Even then how the fuck are you going to sum up all of the individuals in both groups with such a narrow array of labels? Best you keep your petty mouth shut and be quiet.
@Generation Tech is your outro in reference to John Conners "if you're listening to this you are the resistance"?
yup
I'm not subbed but i guess I'm automatically gen tech?
Best break down of Sith Ideology I have seen! I always describe it as, "Imagine Fredric Nietzsche had a baby with Ayn Rand, then that baby was raised by wicans, was lifelong best friends with a nihlist, married a social Darwinist and had another kid. THAT kid is a Sith."
Please explain them all.
I like how you say "freedom" is good, when it ain't that black and white.
Freedom and responsibility should go hand in hand.
absboodoo well i dont think he meant for you to take it entirely, just whats OBVIOUSLY good about freedom.
Do I count as a Sith?
Trevor Philips Hmm... you do fit the profile of a Dark Sider... maybe we should have you join the Sith.
Trevor Philips Hmmmm you certainly have anger... But not subtlety.
I'm fairly certain Sith knew basic mathematics.
but could they make meth?
Maybe (°-°)
Informative.
Droid Jedi...
"They sent in the Super Battle Jedi..!"
"..Tracking disturbance in the force... Roger Roger.."
"WATCH THOSE WRIST-LIGHTSABERS!"
You actually inadvertently gave a prime reason why the Sith ARE that bad. They are way outta control and unpredictable.
Though, I agree with the free will point. Yet, I wouldn't call the Sith way meritocracy. It promotes the strongest. Not the most able and skilled.
Tkhaikovski Indeed. Sith don't promote meritocracy. They use speciism as a tool to promote their agenda. And instead of allowing the best possible candidates for the job, they let the best backstabbers rule the society.
Jedi: A life time of celibacy.
Sith: You can fuck all you want.
Well, I think we all know which side to chose.

Dude I love your content. I love everything you have to say.
I had a debate with a friend of mine one time about the way the Force was, I was trying to explain how the Force isn't as black and white as it seems, but he kept pulling the "but George Lucas said" out of his ass and it's like "dude, balance isn't all light, the light needs darkness to balance everything together"
I am honestly confused by this video. The title says "5 Reasons why the Sith aren't that bad" but the only thing I see is "5 further reasons why the Sith are assholes".
1.- Only a half-truth. The Jedi didn't actually force themselves on their pupils. They tried only to train children but they didn't do so without consent of their legal guardians and even respected the child's decision. The Jedi Order, however, was very respected and having a child sent to train under them was considered a great honor.
The Sith, on the other hand, didn't like getting "no" for an answer. In the words of Darth Sidious, "If you will not turn, young Skywalker, you will die". The Sith might get ambitious and unscrupulous people to join, but they more often than not crush people and force them to join them on pain of death, or manipulate them until they join them out of despair (like Anakin). Their allure might be the promise of unfettered power, but their main tools are also intimidation and outright extortion.
2.- The Original Sith pretty much validated all the reasons why the Jedi Order established a system that limited the speed of progression, enforced humility, personal responsibility and respect and curtailed emotional extremes, because after the OS plumbed the depths of the Dark Side they pretty much went power mad and launched a galaxy-wide rampage of conquest and plunder. Also, it is an objective falsehood that the Sith were balanced in their use of the Force, because it is nigh impossible for a Dark Side user to use the Light Side, as the Light Side is impossible to use while dominated by rage, grief, anger or passion, all of which are a Sith's fulcrum of power. Those that managed to do that weren't Sith, but what was called "Grey Jedi" (Force users that tried to balance the Light and Dark) and Jedi were always wary of them because the Force is bit like a steep slope: It's a lot easier to tumble down than to climb up.
3.- The Sith's definition of "powerful" is utterly barbaric. It is basically "who is better at killing their fellows". The Sith way didn't ensure that only the most capable would rise to the top, it would ensure that the ones to rise to the top would be the last ones standing. It is not good enough to win, everyone around you must lose. It is thus no wonder that the vast majority of Sith Lords were violent, destructive, paranoid and utterly lacking in empathy, because only such individuals could have survived the back-stabby meatgrinder that was their education. Maybe that explains how Palpatine was so in control of himself and actually kept his "Sithness" such a well-guarded secret, since he actually murdered his master in his sleep instead of overpowering him like a "proper" Sith would.
incidentally that is also the reason the Sith lost over and over and over again. The Sith suck at cooperating, since they only value personal power and thus see needing help as a weakness, while the Jedi understand there is strength in unity and would better coordinate and gang together to bring down even the mightiest of Sith Lords.
And finally, the Jedi were also a true meritocracy. Species is a non-issue, and since they were ascetic power, wealth and former status were also irrelevant. Only wisdom, experience and understanding of the Force (not necessarily mastery) counted, and since the Jedi weren't as laser-focused as the Sith, they also recognized different kinds of mastery which were all kept in the same high regard. The Jedi Order would have a Master of Lore who might possibly not even be that strong in the Force, but he would be respected for his knowledge and wisdom and seen in as high regard as a skilled Blademaster.
4.- "With great power comes great responsibility" meant that the powerful should be responsible in the use of their power, and his death showed Peter that using his power solely for personal gain was irresponsible. Power without action might be wasteful, but power without restraint is tyranny.
Also the claim that non-force sensitives are "inferior" and thus should accept the rule of their betters feels extremely... uncomfortable. Being more powerful is not the same as being wiser, or being a more competent leader and statesman. In the words of Ghengis Khan "conquering the world from the back of a horse is easy; getting off the saddle and ruling it is hard". True to those words, the Sith often used their powers to rise to positions of authority only to later run the institutions they ruled straight into the ground, often in flames and killing many along the way. The Jedi refused all kinds of political power because their ideology was extremely aware of the whole "power corrupts" adage. Adding that to the burden of balancing the power awarded by use of the Force was deemed too dangerous a distraction, and the often cut-throat and amoral nature of galactic politics could easily lead to the Dark Side.
Even Palpatine, who was possibly the best Sith statesman in history, tore the galaxy apart through his draconian policies and in doing so inadvertently engineered the demise of the Empire that was meant to be his life's work.
5.- What's so awesome about human nature anyways? As a species we're petty, selfish, destructive and short-sighted. The whole point of civilization is curtailing the worst aspects of human nature and fostering the better ones (cooperation, protection of your loved ones, building stuff to last). An asshole that excuses himself by saying its "human nature" is nothing but a pretentious asshole. That's why the Jedi identified themselves as Defenders of Civilization and eventually swore allegiance to the Galactic Republic because, despite its many faults, they saw it as the best exponent of civilization in the galaxy. The Jedi also are not emotionless, just have adamant control of their emotions through discipline. In fact a good Jedi must necessarily be highly empathetic. Jedi feel fear, anger, jealousy and despair like all living beings, but it is the core of Jedi teachings not to let emotions control you, to always keep your head clear and focused and act with reason and restraint. Paradoxically, in their unfettered pursuit of absolute freedom most Sith end up as literal slaves to their own emotions, so convinced that they should not deny themselves anything that they end up almost incapable of doing so, even when it would be advantageous.
Also keep in mind that in the Star Wars universe there's a lot more than humans floating around (though there are way too many humans for it to be credible, IMHO). The Jedi saw no reason to curtail Ithorian nature of nurturing and preserving life around them, for example, or Celegian introspective and meditative nature (which comes from being a giant, telepathic jellyfish, I suppose).
As a final addendum, it should be noted that the Force is much more than the Jedi or the Sith. It flows through all living beings. The Dark Side is present in a Mandalorian warlord killing millions in a galactic crusade to make his mandalorian steel balls feel big as much as the Light Side is present in a council choosing peace and diplomacy to reach mutual understanding and cooperation, even if not a single soul involved is Force Sensitive. In accordance with the Laws of Entropy, any idiot with a blaster can cause pain and suffering around him but doing the reverse, making people around you safe, happy and prosperous, takes a lot of effort. Palpatine wouldn't have been capable of starting the Clone Wars and perverting the Republic into the Galactic Empire if the galaxy didn't have quite a bit of Dark already.
Actually, destroying the Sith or the Jedi is ultimately a futile effort. Killing off all the Sith won't stop Dark Side users from popping up or things going to shit through circumstance or the actions of asshats; and conversely, wiping out the Jedi won't prevent good people from rising up to push back the darkness and fight for a better tomorrow. The whole Jedi-Sith conflict is basically a culture war; two opposing ideologies trying to wipe the other out. Now what the prophecy means with the whole "Balance to the Force" is debatable, because it sounds like the typical cryptic prophecy nonsense that doesn't mean anything without hindsight, but when it is first mentioned in Episode I no one says "Oh, so this kid will kill off the Sith" (mainly because the Jedi believed there were no more Sith to kill, remember?).
Well said. More people need to see this.
This is absolutely brilliant. THIS is why the Jedi must end. Only the Je'Daii had it right. Also, what's the point is all that Jedi power and ability if you can't use it to pick up chicks (or dudes. I don't judge.)?
Yoda: 'Do or do not; there is no try.' Obi-Wan: 'Only a Sith deals in absolutes' Luke: (Head explodes)
The themes/morals of the story that you presented at the very end here are just as good and deep as any in Star Wars.
We should have a sith rule the earth. Palpy wasn't that bad, sure slavery and stuff but he boosted economic growth and technological development. Make earth great again...well...let's just make it great. Wasn't that good before
it was before civilization
How did Palpy "make things great again" when by all counts tech stopped progressing after the prequels? Nevermind wiping out whole planets just because.
Bobby90 it's a joke, chill
You took me seriously. You chill.
Bobby90 well~ didn't he give about a billion people jobs? So what if a few people ( a few million!) got hurt ;)
One reason the Sith are bad
1.Anakin murdered children
+Lavalamp Productions how do you know those weren’t just short adults
No he murdered younglings. And lets be honest everyone who used that word in SW deserves to die.
Waste of resources, I say.
The Jedi slaughtered millions on various occasions.
I just love at the flashing foto’s inbetween
I agree, when I played Jedi Acadamy I balance the Light and Dark side - Practicallity was my key.
Long live the sith.
Sith are OK in my opinion, but trying to justify the Empire I don't understand. They murdered billions of innocents.
The empire was corrupt but there was order
And the rebels DID do some things that were border line terrorism
And the rebels didn't?
Blue Spartan not borderline terrorism they where terrorists. They murdered billions on the death star and helped assassinate the emperor. For all the public knew the emperor was there president
The problem with that "remember Alderan" is the fact that it sound a little bit strange to claim that ONLY Bail Organa and his cool blooded killer of adopted daughter were part of Alderans secreat treason against the Empire and the support of the killing of loyal imperials. Did Bail not say in Rouge One that he has to return to say the people that the war will continue? Surely he made his actions not public, but whe must assume that a higher number of people on Alderan shared his view and actions. Alderan was ever called the heart of the rebellion etc., and as we see in Rebels they provided terrorists with money, information, weapons and even ships which these criminals use to murder thousands of loyal soldiers of the Empire. The hammerhead-corvette who destroyed at least a Star Destroyer in Rouge one (maybe also another) is very likely an Alderanian ship and cause the death of thousands. Bail Organa was present on the meeting of the top terrorists who build the Rebel Alliance (in imperial eyes like a meeting of Spectre in a Bond Movie), and his "innocent" daughter was even present at Scarif. So Alderan was deeply involved in the whole Rebellion, and it seems impossible that this was the work of mom and dad Organa plus their cute little princess. So the destruction of Alderan was surely also revenge for the high losses at Scarif, born out of rage over the years of treason and hidden murder - or at least this is a point of view many imperials would have shared...
Imagine Darth Sidious sitting on his throne, petting a bunny on his lap. If the Sith r just a bunny cult, I think I've been recruited
I'd do it for a cat cult since I'd kill off the bunny cult.
Vader is like damn that bunny looks delicious in the thumbnail he had his saber out ready to prepare it for dinner lol I imagine he’s sick of eating food that isn’t solid
Bad example with the bunnies in video games. If the game doesn't offer you the interaction options you'd like to use, you use the one the game offers you: Violence.
Would it be possible to do a discussion of the Grey Jedi?
Did anyone else have random images like the Apple logo or black and white photos of people pop up for a split second?
You’re not wrong...
I would never hurt the bunny
Where did all those video clips come from??
If you read the EU, this is why Luke was offered the Throne by the Lost Sith. It's because between the Jedi and the Sith, he is the only one that allowed his own judgement to dictate his moralistic spectrum instead of going drunk with power or being a meditative, distant recluse who had forsaken his own humanity for the sake of a greater truth. A lot of people wonder how Luke's array of Force Powers--many of which are Dark Sided--don't corrupt him, but if you look at how Luke approaches the Dark Side, you can see that he very much views the Force an aspect and not a Dogma to dictate the flow of his life, where his priorities are his friends, family and his beloved Jedi Academy.
You can see the difference between Luke's approach to teaching with the way the old Jedi Masters taught and passed on the knowledge of The Force in that he emphasizes his students to not let The Force dominate their next course of action. He allows the environment to be that of a large, rambunctious family instead of the forsaking of the "burden" of emotions and connections. It's why the Lost Sith were so impressed by him--because Luke's the only guy in the thousands of years of Jedi and Sith lore to have the common sense to view the Force as a tool from the workshed instead of a Magic Conch Shell.
Palpatine in the tumbnail is what I would become if I were a sith
