no they're not. sith just have their own points of view that disagree with the jedi, and the jedi, not liking that, use the sith's own shortcomings when organized & general weirdos as an excuse to vilify & discredit anybody who believes sith beliefs or just doesn't believe what the jedi believe. just like evangelicals. we're not slow when we say any of this, we've seen all of star wars just like you claim to. this is our own lived experiences, and you'll never debate us out of speaking up about our own experiences. from my point of view the jedi are evil.
The “jedi order” tag has some wild anti-jedi takes today. Some of y’all really do be confusing or projecting the Jedi Order for Christianity because there has not been any bible thumping Jedi who go door to door asking for you to accept the Force or burn in hell. Their afterlife isn’t even like that. And then there’s people like:
“ Well not all Eastern religion isn’t good.”
“ Y’all just use Buddhism as a defense”
“ It’s not a genocide because *lists a technicality that doesn’t make sense*”
And then there’s the “At least the Sith aren’t…” honey, if we follow your logic for the Jedi, the Sith does all the crimes you said and more. They’re the fascist and killer super religion. But I guess cause they follow their feelings, it’s fine?
It’s just a wild day.

there’s no such thing as “light” or “dark” sides of the force, there never was. its all just different expressions & experiences of the same energy field. “falling to the dark side” is but a religious scare tactic akin to “you’re good and are going to heaven if you believe what we believe but if you don’t you’re gonna burn in hell for all eternity”, no amount of palpatine’s generation of fuckery, the psychos within the sith that could also be found within any group of ppl, or jedi worship will ever convince me otherwise.

On one side, Star Wars has an Order of space Magic monks whose main mission is fighting for peace and justice in the galaxy. On the other, it has what is basically space nazis.
The anti-Jedi pro-Sith crowd baffles and scares me in equal messure.
#star wars#pro jedi#pro jedi order#anti sith#anti dark side of the force#balance of the force is when the sith are dead and that's canon#if you like the sith for aesthetic purposes say so! Their designs are cool!#There's nothing wrong with liking villains long as you recognize THEY ARE VILLAINS#but for the love of god don't go around saying the heavily nazi-coded characters have a point!#jedi positivity

the sith are not, never have been and never will be "inherently evil". they simply have different points of view, the "jedi good sith bad" notion that gets shoved down everyone's throats is nothing more than jedi propaganda
I really dig Qimir's characterization. He's a Sith and a lot of the brutality of Sith culture is on full display, but he doesn't really come off as necessarily evil or even especially malicious, at the very least no the in the typical way Sith villains are portrayed.
Mae's hunting of the Brendok Jedi seems to have been more of a personal thing for her that he reluctantly went along with as part of her training, and Qimir himself is evidently more concerned with keeping his culture alive than perpetuating old grudges. He hates Jedi because of all the bad blood between them and Sith and the ideological differences and has no issue with killing them, but also mostly just wants to be left alone to practice his faith, use his powers, and rear his own students/children as he sees fit rather than being forced to follow the laws of the nation that destroyed his own.
He bears no delusions about the Sith's current predicament as a tiny husk of it's former self hiding in the cracks of a society dominated by ancestral enemies, like many of the Baneite Sith do. He isn't interested in fantasies of revenge and conquest. As he says to Sol, the only reason he kills the hunting party is because Mae has caused them all to discover the Sith, and if the Jedi Council and Republic learn about Sith still existing they'll default to slaughtering or depowering them all for being "tainted by darkness", the exact same way they've done after every prior conflict with the Sith.
And while he disagrees with the Jedi Code, he also despises when Jedi fail to follow their own stated principles and gladly points out when they're being hypocrites (like how he mocks Sol for being upset over Jecki's death because she's "a child", as if he didn't personally lead said child into lethal combat after rearing her as a warrior and as if the Jedi in general don't use their padawans as child soldiers as a rule). His obvious disdain Sol and the Brendok Jedi specifically over even the other Jedi seems less motivated by the Jedi-Sith feud and more by him knowing about the very bad thing they almost assuredly did on Brendok and being livid about them continuing to act like they have the moral high ground despite it.
In a lot of ways, he's in the same position as the Brendok Coven, someone who wants to be free to live their own way and not be bashed into line by the Jedi and Republic, which would certainly explain why he and Mae gravitated to working together. They see each other as kindred spirits, both people left alone and in hiding by the imperialism of the Republic and the Jedi's refusal to let anyone who challenges their view of the Force exist in the long term, if at all. And that also adds to his anger with Mae when she turns on him; she was trying to throw him under the bus so she can ingratiate herself with the people who killed both her and his people. Even in a culture that values cunning and deceit, that sort of betrayal would probably be seen as unimaginable, the kind of dishonor that can never be atoned for.
All in all, the show is such a nice throwback to the more morally nuanced and even-handed works you used to see more of during the Legends EU days, showing the flaws and issues with all the involved groups while not coming down too hard and deeming any one pure evil, as well as treating the individual characters within those groups as varied in nature but usually sympathetic or at least understandable. The Jedi as an institution and a part of the governmental system are deeply flawed at even the best of times, but most of the Jedi come off as decent folk who are genuinely just trying to do the right thing. The Brendok Witches had their issues, but also justified reasons for everything they did and at the end of the day they just wanted to be allowed to live their lives without fear of outsiders storming in to take their children away and forbid them from passing their ways on. And now, with Qimir, yeah, the Sith culture is shown to be very harsh, ruthless, or even downright savage by the standards of the Jedi (and our own real world values), but they're still people at the end of the day.

It’s always confused me how Sifo-Dyas had visions of a horrible doom future and came up independently with this idea that the only way to prevent it was ordering up a clone army. And yes, I understand “see Order 66/the Republic attacked by an army, decide they need an army TOO” but it just doesn’t logically flow very smoothly. When have the Jedi used an army? Why leap to that as a Plan A?
But it makes a lot more sense if he had visions of the Clone Wars. Visions that specifically included the partnership between the Jedi and the clones.
So he would have seen brave, intelligent clones working alongside Jedi, collaborating on a thousand different worlds. He would have seen them covering each other’s back, fighting side by side against literal and figurative monsters. He would have seen the Jedi Order fundamentally changing and growing alongside these people, perhaps even the future that never came to pass after winning the war. And the connections during it: Jedi wearing armor, forming bonds of respect and camaraderie, clones attached to “their” Jedi. Family units developing. Friendships, romances, sibling relationships...
He would have seen Cody throwing Obi-Wan his dropped lightsaber for the dozenth time. And as a lifelong Jedi, he would have deeply understood the significance of that act. The trust.
If Sifo-Dyas truly believed the battle for the end of their world was coming, maybe for him, it wasn’t about just getting an army, it was about making that army. One built on mutual respect and absolute trust. It was seeing those exact people and the connections that would bloom there, and working backwards from that conclusion to make it exist.
#Sifo-Dyas just watching the Clone Wars 2008 series in his head but missing the last season#he’s like Dooku I only have one question why is your bed so big two questions what the fuck is up with your monogrammed pajamas#but really this question fascinates me about what exactly Sifo-Dyas saw and what he thought he was doing#especially because the war would have been won without direct sabotage from the Sith the clones never would have betrayed the Jedi otherwis#the jedi and clone after a won war peacetime AU kills me#the clone wars#projedi#clones#jedi order#sifo-dyas#I realize I tend to view Sifo-Dyas positively#and there could be much more cynical readings of the Clone Wars#but I'm just talking this out

Reading Light of the Jedi for the first time has made the fact that the first (non-preschooler) TV show set in the High Republic time period is going to be a Sith-centric anti-Jedi mess even more disappointing than it already was.
#star wars#light of the jedi#high republic#anti acolyte#acolyte critical#the acolyte critical#light of the jedi has SO MUCH of what i've wanted for so long#a positive relationship between the jedi and the republic#because the system DOES WORK when it's not being run by literal sith#more worldbuilding on how the jedi's lives look when they're not literally at war#what happens when jedi get older?#what are some basic training things that jedi do with each other and does it involve shoving each other off cliffs? (Yes)#we get to see so many ways for jedi to be jedi in this universe that allows them to just exist as they are#the jedi love each other and they love the republic and - for the time being - the republic loves them back#it's REALLY cool to see#and the villains aren't these terrible unknowable sith characters#the nihil have literally zero messages to send#they're just selfish criminals#they're nothing and no one#they're entirely banal#and that's honestly sort-of refreshing#i don't WANT the villains to be sith all the time#we've seen enough sith#the nihil are a kind-of basic bland villain that the galaxy would be dealing with in the absence of sith#it's so great#and acolyte so far looks like pure shit#i don't understand how the high republic series which is so adamantly pro-jedi and not about sith at all#has led us to a series like acolyte#whose creator promises us will be all about how the jedi sucked major balls#it's just immensely sad

untrue, it's not cancelled. it's gonna renew. don't forget that lucasfilm can do whatever the hell they want and the whiny babies can't do shit but die mad about it, and the cast and crew is all the way on board for continuing. whiny babies ain' the boss of us, we're the boss of us. fuck it we ball. give it time.
The acolyte is cancelled?!?
Excuse my french, but WTF. Honestly.
I suppose the whiny idiots on the internet won. Why can we not have nice things? Why can't you just let people enjoy a show?
It felt like Star Wars to me. And we rarely get any Sith shit at all and once we've got it...Boom its gone. Evil twin trope and seduction to the dark side (very literally)? Amazing. Wonderful fight scenes, compelling characters. I must say I was so invested in Sol and Osha's relationship, the twins, and Qimir and Osha's.
We were going to have Plagueis (maybe?)! And now he's gone. Osha's lightsaber turned crimson??? And we're simply left with THAT! No conclusion. NO NOTHING!
And the author, Headland, had a plan. A whole overarching storyline and now we're left with one season and more than a handful of unanswered questions.
This is why we can't have nice things. Because of those pesky whiny, loud fools on the internet. It disgusts me that they're cheering over the fact that its cancelled. If you don't want to watch it, don't. Let everyone else enjoy it who does want to watch it.
Don't shit on what other people like. Its disrespectful, its immature and its unbelievably uncool.
I'll admit it. I love everything Star Wars. Sequels and all. Flaws and all. The Acolyte had its flaws but even the Original Trilogy had its own. Example: Luke became attached to Obi-Wan within a day and become a Jedi within a few days. The end result: no one cares. But the second its a new show, everyone cares about every little mistake.
And I was rather excited to explore a world set in the High Republic. Now its gone. GONE GONE GONE! We've only seen it through books and through other media. I cannot tell you, I followed this show the second it was mentioned and announced. And the fact that its ending like this is so unbelievably frustrating.
Season 1 was for sure just a setup and I don't mind that but now that's its cancelled. Just...why. The children storyline was a bit annoying and there was for sure more to the story. Why did Torbin kill himself? There had to be more. There was so much guilt and I don't believe that's it. Something to be explored in Season 2 which will never happen.
One last thing. For the folks that like guys, we've lost Qimir. Right when Star Wars is beginning to consider people who like men, they pull it right out from under us. We had Leia in a bikini in the Originals which I could care less about. Plenty of Padme in the Prequels. A bit of Kylo Ren. And now, Qimir. The pinnacle of perfection, those arms were just...hot. I'll admit it.
And now because of the haters, there will be no more. No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans. I'm going to end this rant now before it gets far too long. All in all: I can't believe it.
I truly wish I could do anything. Something to bring it back.

Wheezing (if I don’t I may strangle someone instead). Got into a debate with an anti Jedi person about the Jedi code. Managed to get it across to them the code doesn’t fucking promote Jedi to become emotionless.
They then decided to take a different angle where they claim the code is wrong because it could be misinterpreted and that many council members misinterpreted to mean you have to be emotionless. I proceed to ask them to name me a council member.
Guess who they named guys? Guess which council member they named as someone who thinks the code means you can’t show emotions and abide by that interpretation?
FUCKING MACE WINDU.
#star wars#jedi positive#jedi appreciation#pro jedi#you heard it here first folks#Mace Windu is emotionless#you know the same guy who once he learnt that Palpatine was the sith decided to kill him#you know the guy who decided fuck the consequences for trying to kill the chancellor#it’s better to get rid of the sith now?#you know Mace Windu master of Vaapad?#the form that requires you to use a lot of your internal emotions to fight?#yeah Mace Windu is emotionless

"Sidious smiled. 'I suspect that others might question my teaching methods, but I am glad you do not. I can assure you that you are an excellent pupil. Not once did you cry out during your recent exercises. Not once. You are an exceptionally strong boy, and you are becoming stronger every day.'" (Windham, 63).
The exercises he was talking about, by the way, was torture. What follows this comment is another form of torture.
Given that, I would not be surprised if Maul developed actual trauma from being praised, given its constant proximity to punishments. As per design, likely.
Kick a puppy and then soothe it and it will be loyal forever.

AND ANOTHER THING about hot sith girl summer, i've managed to write myself into addressing a common issue in the codywan fandom, but in a weird way: that thing where fandom sometimes treats cody like he's only there to babysit obi-wan and his every single thought and action revolves around obi-wan
like, you know who'd also think of cody as existing only in relation to obi-wan, as a kind of appendage of obi-wan? vader. it's probably the only reason he keeps cody alive after cody challenges him between chapter one and two. as bait to draw obi-wan out of hiding, and just to fuck with someone obi-wan held dear, to cause him pain. and wouldn't it be interesting if cody noticed this and started chafing at it, even as he also feels (irrational) guilt over what he did during order 66. and even when he escapes vader and takes up with maul, he expects the exact same treatment: to be treated as a thing that obi-wan owned, and that can now be used as a tool to exact revenge on obi-wan (but he and maul are actually going to have a rapport, weird and fucked up as that's going to be in its own right. but at least it will be true, equal-level codependence). so he's just like "oh it's gonna be the same humiliating dehumanizing shit again but at least i'm no longer in the empire... so i'll take it 🙄" (but then it is actually different, eventually, as maul begins to see the merit of cody as simply cody)
#posts by me#dark side clone AU#i'm constructing a version of cody who DOES fall back onto thinking like a caretaker but is very aware and conflicted abt it#and it sometimes gets him places and it sometimes works to his detriment#and he'll have to be very emotionally intelligent and politically savvy in a way not even obi-wan as the negotiator was#bc obi-wan hasn't had to live in such a fucked up precarious position as cody has as one of the most powerful slaves in the slave army#cody would know how to survive by becoming attuned to people's needs but also playing them against each other#which also means that while he on some level knows he's digging himself an ever deeper hole#his order 66 guilt is SO strong he just decides to keep doubling down and committing to sith girl summer#plus he starts feeling genuine sympathy for maul. his heart (and dick) is leading him places he wouldn't go with a gun#slaps roof of cody this bad boy can fit so much character exploration within him

they're not tho. they're not. the galactic empire (palpatine's group) was based on nazis. and the swtor quote about "basing the sith on nazis"... is a big fat lie too. the sith just have different believe than the jedi & the jedi are pissy about it, fast forward to eons and eons of war and weirdos & regular ppl in both groups.
get the jedi's dick out your mouth and stop lying why don't you
No small part of Legends seems determined to make the Jedi look bad and the Sith look good. Considering the Sith are inspired by nazis and fascists, it's both funny and deeply concerning.
But I digress.
One of these attempts is the character Darth Vectivus, a human male Dark Lord of the Sith during the time of the Galactic Republic, when the Sith are in hiding. Apparently, he's a man with friends, with a family he loves and who love him back, a regular job… He's a perfectly normal guy, a perfectly mundane dude among thousands of megalomaniacs.
His first appeareance is as a ghost (some funky Dark Side thingy he created, btw), when he's trying to convince a Jedi (don't remember this one, I think it was a girl?) to strike him down. This is because these ghosts are connected to a living being, if the ghost is striken down, the being they're connected to dies. Vectivus is connected to Jacen Solo, who's on the edge of falling to the Dark Side. Apparently, Vectivus does not want a galaxy ruled by the kind of Sith Jacen Solo (or rather Darth Caedus) would become.
But, unlike other attempts at making the Sith look good in the EU, I actually like this guy. Why? Mostly for the funnies, not gonna lie. This Dark Lord of the Sith, the ultimate villain of the SW universe… is a perfectly normal guy with the same problems in his life as the rest of us.
Vectivus didn't know he was Force sensitive until his adulthood when, while doing Business™️, he and his employees came across a Dark Force nexus inside one of the mines they were working in. Fascinated by the power he could feel, he disolved his business, gave compensation to his employees, and went to search for the surviving Sith who could teach him. However, despite his Sith training, he remains a perfectly normal guy who lives a perfectly mundane life until his death, when he dies surrounded by friends and family. It's hilarious, can you imagine his Master's face? The sheer dissapointment?
He has restrain and moral standards. For example, he seems to be a decent boss and doesn't exploit his employees, cares for his friends and family and, just by guessing, isn't a complete asshole to his Apprentice since, whoever they are, they opt not to kill him despite the existance of the Rule of Two.
And yet… we find out he's still economically predatory, he still abuses his powers to harm and profit over rivals, and generally win at business. He isn't causing harm to those close to him, but he's still harnessing the Dark Side to hurt others.
That's the whole point, the Dark Side is always corruptive. Darth Vectivus is just less corrupted than most Sith.
That's it, that's what I like the most about the guy. He seems normal, is normal in a way… and yet he's still an evil bastard, only the regular evil bastard we find in our daily lives instead of the murderous crazy no-sense-of-restrain kind of Evil Bastard™️ we're used to see in a Sith.
It's… a bit of a grim reminder that evil is everywhere, in everyone, including you, and it can take many forms. That even the most kind-seeming people can be evil.
On the other side, the people he's murdered are… zero. Nonexistant, zero, nada. He's killed absolutely nobody. It's actually pretty funny. He's the only non-murderous Sith in existance, literally the only sane man in an Order of fascist megalomaniacs and it's hilarious.
I'm rather glad for his existance, actually, thanks Legends. Mostly because now I can say that I've killed as many people as a Dark Lord of the Sith.
#jedi critical#anti jedi#sith positive#sith defensive#sith culture#sith are not based on nazis and never were#sith are not evil#sith beliefs are about using your 'unholy' emotions & passion as an empowering force of personal freedom#do sith have their own mountains of weirdos? absofuckinlutely. not much different from any other group of people though#fuck your pro jedi#anti 'pro jedi'#anti sith malignment#anti jedi apologists
