has always been at the center of Star Wars' mythos as much as the Jedi, but their on-screen presence has traditionally been limited to the point of view of the good guys. Now, with the new live-action serieson Disney Plus, this is about to change. This is our as-brief-as-possible but in-depth refresher on the history of the Sith.ultimately boils down to the eternal fight between the forces of light and darkness across generations.
The first open war between the Jedi and the Sith ended with the defeat of the latter, who fled from known space and settled on a world of red sands called Korriban . Here they rebuilt and waited for the perfect chance to strike. There, massive temples and tombs were erected with the 'help' of slaves, eventually turning the fledgling order into an empire. Unsurprisingly, this led to further wars against the Jedi for generations.
The Rule of Two managed to save the Sith Order, and even though some Jedi came into contact with the Sith and their followers, the larger conspiracy was never uncovered. Eventually, the Sith apprentice known as Darth Sidious betrayed his master Darth Plagueis by killing him in his sleep and accelerated the plans to strike down the Jedi and take over the Galactic Republic.
The year 22 BBY marked the beginning of the three-year-long Clone Wars, which split the Republic apart and raised the political temperature. Around this time, Sidious started to seduce young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who was especially powerful in the Force and fit into the Jedi Order's prophecy of the Chosen One.
The fall of the Sith wouldn't happen until the Battle of Endor, which took place in the year 4 ABY in the space above the forest moon as well as on its surface. Both Darth Sidious and Darth Vader tried to tempt Luke Skywalker, the secret son of the latter, into joining the Sith. Once again, infighting would be the downfall of the Sith Order, as each of them had their own plans to kill and replace the other.
Unbeknownst to everyone but his closest cult of followers, the Sith Eternal, the fallen Sith Lord Darth Sidious was able to cheat death and was now on Exegol, a secret Sith world hidden inside the Unknown Regions. After a number of failed experiments, the cult managed to create a cloned body of Sheev Palpatine able to contain Sidious' spirit.
