All 37 Sith Lords in Star Wars canon

Star Wars Canon has confirmed the existence of a staggering 36 Sith Lords to date, with many drawn from the Expanded Universe. The heroes of Star Wars Have long since learned not to underestimate the power of the dark side, something that will likely be explored in the upcoming Star Wars TV shows like The acolyte. The galaxy’s greatest villains – the Sith Lords – use the dark side of the Force to wreak havoc on a galactic scale. The dark side Force powers wielded by the Sith make them a threat to even the most skilled Jedi of the Council.

The origin of the Sith is shrouded in mystery, although they are known to have begun as a splinter sect of the Jedi dedicated to the dark side of the Force. The Jedi and the Sith have been at war for five thousand years, with each bringing the other to the brink of extinction on numerous occasions. But the shadow can never truly dispel, and the most powerful ShTar Wars Sith have overseen the rebirth of the cult at least three times in galactic history. Here are all the confirmed canon Sith Lords, including those responsible for reviving the Dark Order.

Darth Andedu

One of the most powerful Sith Lords that started in Star Wars Legends.

Sometimes known as the Immortal God-King of Prakith, Darth Andeddu was one of the most powerful Sith Lords in legends. Despite his legendary origins, he has been dropped several times in canon, with one of Palpatine’s Sith legions in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Named after him. Amusingly, Andeddu is the subject of an ancient curse – “By Andedus Flames.“

36

Darth Atreus

One of the most mysterious Sith Lords of Star Wars.

Little is known of the Sith Lord named Darth Atrius, who wielded a pair of crossguard lightsabers (similar to Kylo Ren’s) with such fury his rage killed them in the Force.

Dart train

one of Star Wars‘ Most influential Sith introduced dark customs that lived on for thousands of years.

First mentioned in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Darth Bane is the legendary Sith Lord who reformed the Sith Order after their defeat approximately 1,000 years ago. Darth Bane rightly recognized that the Sith’s tendency to in-fighting was their greatest weakness, establishing the Rule of Two to limit this. In Legends, Darth Bane’s story was told in a stunning trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn; There is some evidence that Darth Bane’s canon history is slightly different, with a throwaway reference suggesting he became Sith Emperor shortly before the Jedi defeated him.

34

Darth Caldoth

Another once legendary Sith Lord made canon.

First mentioned in George Mann’s Dark legendsAnd later canonized in Kavan Scott’s audio book DOCUMENT: JEDI LOSTDarth Caldoth was a Duros who specialized in the use (and likely creation) of dark side creatures.

The 44th Legion is named after Desolous.

32

Exar Kun

The Sith Lord has dark connections to a major Rebel Alliance base.

One of the most dangerous Sith Lords of the legends, Exar Kun was referred to several times in Star Wars Canon. He is known to have been based on Yvin 4, and the ancient massi temples occupied by the Rebel Alliance in the first Star Wars Movies were probably built in his honor (as in legends). Solo: A Star Wars Story featured a Sith artifact looted from the temple of Exar Kun.

31

Felkor

Felkor remains one of the most mysterious Sith Lords of Star Wars.

Little is known of the Sith Lord named Felkor. His likeness was chiseled into the stone faces of Exegol, and he was famous enough to be recognized by Kylo Renwho studied ancient Sith texts (as indicated in the younger novelization of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker).

Lokfet

Another of Exegol’s seemingly famous Sith Lords.

There is some evidence that the Sith Lord Locphet was known as a very powerful Dark Lord. His likeness was carved into the walls of Exegol – and he was famous enough to be recognized by Kylo Ren.

A Zabrak descended from Dathumir, Darth Maul was recruited by Palpatine as an assassin to be used against the Jedi and then discarded. Darth Maul’s mission to kill Qui-Gon Jinn went badly wrong Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom MenaceHowever, when he was believed to have been killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maul survived, only to learn that his former master had rejected him.

This storyline was explored throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ timeline, with Maul becoming a crime lord in a bid to destroy his former master’s plans once and for all. Maul sought revenge against the Sith for decades, surviving Order 66 and investigating the fall of the Empire in Star Wars Rebels. Unfortunately for both Maul and the audience that came to appreciate his character, the first Sith Lord’s plans came to ruin when his revenge consumed him, and he was killed on Tatooine by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

25

Darth Ravi

A legendary Sith of phenomenal power

There is enough evidence to say for sure that Darth Ravi exists, but it is quite likely that his story is deliberately obscured by exaggerated myths. Known as Darth Ravi the Bold, He was one of the first Sith lordsAnd he took command of a sector of space”From the Gateway of Tantellus to the Mouth of the Rivellian Cascade.“He was obsessed with mysterious artifacts known as the Echo Stones, which the Jedi desperately tried to hide from him.

Naga Sadow

Naga Sadow is yet another Sith Lord canonized by Exegol’s intriguing architecture.

A mighty Sith Lord in Star Wars Legends According to Jedi lore, Naga Sadow led the Sith Empire during the Great Hyperspace War against Empress Theta and the Jedi Order.

Darth Nihilus

An iconic video game character became canon with Star Wars Episode IX.

Introduced in the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games, Darth Nihilus was a blight on the force, more of an evil presence than flesh and blood.

Hopefully, it won’t be long until he is clearly named.

21

Darth Noctyss

The story of Darth Noctyss is told in George Mann’s anthology Dark legendsA book of myths in the world; This particular story has gradually made its way into canon, however, suggesting it has a basis in truth.

Interestingly, in Legends he was associated with the planet Underon, an important world in canon because it is the homeworld of freedom fighter Saw Gerrera.
