Upcoming Star Wars movies will reveal the origin of the Jedi, but there's an even more important story to be told - the rise of the Sith.
Star Wars is soon to tell the origin story of the Force, setting up the first Jedi - but it's really time to show the first Sith. The future is bright for Star Wars; at Star Wars Celebration 2023, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced no less than three upcoming movies. One of the most intriguing, by James Mangold, will explore the origin of the Force itself. It's been positioned as the beginning of a whole new era in the Star Wars mythology, the dawn of the Jedi.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars Is Yet To Show The Origin Of The Sith As mysterious as the Jedi's origins may be, even less is known about the origin of the Sith in Star Wars canon. Even Palpatine himself doesn't seem to have known the full story, discussing legends rather than facts in the in-universe book Secrets of the Sith. "Legend has it the Jedi Order suffered a deep schism millennia ago," he noted.
Lucasfilm recently published the Star Wars: Timelines reference book, which confirmed the Sith formed 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Sith homeword is Moraband , visited briefly by Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But the precise circumstances of the Sith's formation are a mystery. Why The Rise Of The Sith Is A Must-See Star Wars Movie Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has indicated her focus now is on the evolution of the Jedi. If that is the case, then the schism that created the Sith is an essential part of the story, and cannot be ignored in this manner.
The Sith have always been tremendously compelling villains, and there's somethin wonderfully appealing in the idea of shining a light on the dark side. It's frankly surreal to consider that this part of the Star Wars timeline, so important and intriguing, is still a mystery. Hopefully that will be rectified sooner rather than later.
