Who was the next sith? If any...

GL made 9 Star wars.
In ROTJ every sith is killed so who is the sith that is in the seventh, eight, and ninth? Or instead of a sith is it a story of the Jedi's coping?

There are no siths, but several dark jedis, and a hell lot of empire su kick ass still.

Palpatine and Vader were only Sith by name, they were not trained by any of the ancient Sith empire, or any who were trained by those. They were really just a pair of Dark Jedi giving themselves the title of Sith to dstance themselves from the Jedi.

That's not even vaguely true- they are as true a Sith as you can get. GL specifically designed them so.

How are you saying that Sidious and Vader weren't Sith when GL made them to be the last of the Sith Lords?

And I read that in 7, 8, 9 (if any) Luke fell to the dark side but Leia brought him back.

You happen to read Supershadow?

No. SS says some bull **** about them making a whole bunch of Vader clones or something like that.

the luke turning thing if from when the emperor somes back in dark empire i think it was, and luke becomes his apprentice to try and destroy the sith from within but cant manage to break away from the pull of the dark side and leia eventually helps him.

vader and sidious are sith. the comics about the ancient sith annoy me becuase of all these stupidly overpowered things they could do. but we dont know that sidious wouldnt wipe out a battleship using the force. he never had reason to before he was emperor, and then he had about a million other ships of his own to do it for him. just becuase he didnt use force lightning in ep one doesnt mean he cant. he just didnt have reason.

i like to think that the comics set then were half true and kind of detail the origin of the sith but some of its just exaduration and meaningless. sidious is supposedly the only sith in two thousand years who could return the sith to power. so hes about as powerful as they come.

anyway, as for the next sith if there ever was one, id say one of palpatines hands would track down some sith holocrons or something and begin studying them in secret before taking an apprentice and teaching them..

Actually no. They are Sith but only becuase they follow the Sith ideal. Guys like Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh were true Sith in race and ideal because they were members of the Sith specieces.

well, in the EU, the only official one left is Shira Brie who was dubbed Darth Lumiya, dark lady of the sith behind Sidious' back.

There IS no 7-8-9, by the way. 😛

Dark Empire or The Thrawn Trilogy would be the only reasonable ones to turn into movies, if it happened, though. The Thrawn Trilogy definitely so, and it lacked a Sith Lord, just Mara Jade, who joined the good guys in the end.

There aren't going to be movies about EU books. Lucas didn't allow pre SW books to be written and he did allow books for after episode 6. Therefor he can't make sequels because it would contradict and screw up star wars and if he would suddenly use the books they would suck on the big screen, trust me.

I would still like to see the movies

i wouldnt mind seeing dark empire as a movie, just for the hell of it. not as a major star wars thing just maybe a single movie set in an alternate star wars universe like all the eu stuff. it wont happen but it would be neat. i always loved palpatine.

Racially, Vader and Palp's weren't Sith, neither were any Sith since Sadow. But they had Sith teachings and Sith knowledge, so they can be called Sith.

Pfft, racially, no one had been a Sith since the ethnic clensing of Korriban and Ziost. Anyone suggesting that Palpatine and Vader were not true Sith Lords is a damnable fool.

I'm guessing that Lumiya probaby found a certain cryogenically frozen container from the clone wars and probably trained Assajj Ventress as her new apprentice in some upcoming novels or whatever.

Palpatine and Vader are followers of an ideal, but they are not actually Sith.

Then what are they?
Lucas intended them to be warriors of the sith clan. And so it will be. 😈

That is overridden by GL, who created the Sith not as a species but as a continuous line. Sidious and Vader are the extension of that line.

They are true Sith; any digression from that is incorrect.

GL says they are Sith, they are Sith- no truer Sith can they be. That's all there is to it.
