Democrat/Republican...Sith or Jedi

What party more closely represents the Sith or Jedi...from all eras.
Let's flesh this out.

I see a lot of similarities between the Khan era Sith and modern day Dems.

Catching up on some books on Audible.

Khan era siths were all about "equality"(no dark lords were technically above the others) and submitting to passion(generally a Dark Side trait)

Equality is a good thing though. So I guess they are just misunderstood?

Are the books canon?

I believe most of the books are cannon.

there is no such thing as pure equality. there is equality of opportunity...which is fair. there is equality of outcome...which requires the handicap of a person with superior abilities.

Hmmm...I will have to get around to reading them

I meant equality in the sense of basic rights and treatment. Physical/mental capabilities are obviously varied

that falls under equality of opportunity. these days equality of outcome and equality of opportunity are conflated and confused.

There's also legal egaliterianism, which is equality of rights: everyone, no matter the gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, wealth, social status or race has the same rights, privileges and consequences.

And I think that's a good thing.

You should play the games. There are some bad ones, but the KOTOR games are excellent, especially if you get them on PC and can use mods. As well as the jedi outcast series. Especially because Kyle Katarn has the best death cry in any video game:

I thought with the new movies everything else was essentially thrown out and it's the movies that are the main canon? The Star Wars EU canon has always been complex.

Yeah, and in the games too. You see even minor sith can hurl force lightning like it's nothing, and you have the sith academy. There were way more sith in the past. But because they hilariously end up just murdering each other it balances out how ineffective the jedi are.

But see my edit in the other video. That Kyle Katarn video. That man never dies instantly.

Revan though is one of my favorite characters.

Yeah Bane is cool too. Years ago I read a variety of different comics and books, but they all jumble together lol. I remember one story where the sith used a psychic attack called a "thought bomb", that was pretty cool. Another story that sticks out is a sith that had his head removed but could still talk and stuff. Another story had Darth Bane surviving being poisoned.

Anyways, who would you consider the most powerful force user overall? Vitiate is pretty powerful.

Vitiate isn't even close to being the most powerful Force User ever. The Ones / Abeloth shit on him.
