Sith

I may be wrong on this but in the original trilogy I don't recall the word 'SITH' ever being mentioned. Was this a name that was created after the OT and used in the PT.

Darth=Dark Lord of the Sith.

Yeah but was the word sith ever said throughout the OT.

I don't think it was. Like Palpatine's name, it might not have actually been said - yet everyone knew what it was/meant (courtesy of some fact file etc.)

My only guess is that Obi-Wan to Yoda etc.

The word Sith was used in the OT.

Obi-Wan himself said it to Luke when talking about Darth Vader.

...

No he didn't.

"Vader was Sithduced by the dark side of the force..." 😘

wait, that's probably from ROTJ when he was explaining Anakin to Luke...

I could have sworn he did, but I just checked the scripts to back up my claims and I was wrong. 😬

Afraid not! One of those funny memory things I am afraid.

No, the term was not used in the OT, but it is always rumoured to be a term GL was throwing around for Vader's background. It was picked up by the EU, but often in a very contradictory manner because no-one was really sure what the term meant- in retrospect, it is obvious that there could be only two, else there would have been more bad guy force users in the OT.

As it is, GL didn't make it a canon term until TPM.

No wait...wasn't the word Sith used in one of the opening scrolls? 😐 I think that's where I saw it.

Afraid not.

No... the word Sith never appeared ANYWHERE in the OT.

Search you feelings... you KNOW it to be true!

Although it does appear in the revised scripts posted online. 😛

Yeah, the concept of sith has never changed for Lucas.
Just because it wasn't used doesn't mean anything special.

Here we go, screencap from one of the original cuts:

And clarification that SITH wasn't defined as only two back in 1976, or whenever this cut was produced:

Where'd you find these?

Oodles of goodies on that DVD 😉

"Sith" is not an EU-created word. It is used by Lucas in his novel 'STAR WARS FROM THE ADVENTURES OF LUKE SKYWALKER' which was written in 1976...

Why is a thread about the OT actually in a PT forum?
