Top Ten Greatest Dark Lords of the Sith
Within this list you shall see MY, note I said MY, top ten GREATEST Dark Lords of the Sith. Enjoy!
Revan is a fictional character in BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game. The character may be either male or female, though Revan is canonically male and follows the game's light-side path. He also has his own Old Republic book in which he is a male human, turned Jedi, and turned Sith. This was a REALLY hard choice but Darth Revan makes second on the list. Though he did discover the Star Forge, found his own Sith Empire, slay Mandalore the Ultimate in single combat, challenge the Sith Emperor twice and survive, create his own holocron, technically found the Rule of Two, build HK-47, defeat his former apprentice and best friend Darth Malak, nearly destroy the Galactic Republic and restrain Darth Vitiate via a force bond he ultimately failed in his chief goal of destroying Vitiate, never defeating the Emperor in either of their confrontations.
Honestly he is the best because he has such a rich story behind him with him practically living two lives and even though being corrupted he was eventually turned to the light side (even though it was because the Jedi council just wanted to exploit his amazing force powers). He went to turn bastila from the dark to the light and ended up getting into a relationship with her. He ends up killing his former apprentice and saving the universe from the power of the star forge.
This weapon of mass destruction found the Star Forge, defeated Mandalore in single combat, founded a new Sith order, built the source of meatbag mayhem, and even tried to permanently kill Vitiate.
Darth Bane is a legendary Sith from Star Wars. Darth Bane was one of the greatest Sith lords who ever lived in the Star Wars universe. Darth Bane's greatest accomplishment was creating the Rule of Two, making the Sith a secretive order with one master and one apprentice. The apprentice would learn everything they could from their master, than when they were strong enough, they would kill them, and the cycle would repeat. Bane believed this would allow for the Sith to become strong. Darth Bane makes an appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions, as well as the Darth Bane Trilogy. In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Bane is voiced by Mark Hamill. Darth Bane is third because he tricked Lord Kaan as well as the rest of the Brotherhood of Darkness into activating the Thought Bomb Ritual (destroying all life, including themselves on the planet Ruusan) so as to rebuild the Sith Order from the shadows, discovered the ancient Sith holocron of Darth Revan, founded the Rule of Two, anointed Darth Zannah as his apprentice, created orbalisk armor that was literally impenetrable to all forces of nature and man, recovered the ancient Sith holocron of Darth Andeddu the Immortal God-King of Prakith, constructed his own holocron and discovered essence transfer. He would be slain by Darth Zannah both physically and mentally.
Darth Malgus is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Malgus was a member of the Sith Order during the Old Republic, and serves as an antagonist in The Old Republic video game. Darth Malgus was the Sith Lord that personally commanded the attack on the Jedi Temple during the Sacking of Coruscant, assisted Darth Vindican in the reconstituted Sith Empire's successful campaign to reclaim Korriban, headed a massive Sith invasion of Alderaan that ultimately failed, slew Cao Den Darach, murdered Ven Zallow, betrayed the Empire after the death of Darth Vitiate and founded the New Empire by using the recently captured Rakatan Foundry to build an immense army of extermination droids and a seemingly invincible stealth armada, which makes him 4th place on the list. His New Empire is eventually destroyed by an Imperial strike team that would also kill him.
He was willing to do everything to see the dark side succeed including killing his love and committing treason. If he had succeeded the Sith would have won. He was also a tank in combat able to kill jedi with simply force lightning.
Sheev Palpatine (also known by his Sith identity Darth Sidious and publicly as Senator Palpatine, then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and later Emperor Palpatine) is a fictional character and one of the primary antagonists of the Star Wars franchise, mainly portrayed by Ian McDiarmid. This is the only guy that was actually in the movies,the thing that made Star Wars famous.
Darth Malak is a fictional Sith lord in the Star Wars franchise. Malak first appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He was originally a Jedi Knight trained by Revan, but both Revan and Malak fell to the Dark Side. Darth Malak was the former apprentice and best friend of Darth Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith, ruler of the Sith Empire (Jedi Civil War era), master of Darth Bandon and master of the Star Forge. Though there is no questioning his skills and abilities Malak was a major hothead that lacked the finesse and intellect to maintain his empire, instead relying on brute force and savagery. These traits would ultimately cost him his empire, the Star Forge and his life, which is why he makes 5th place on my list.
Marka Ragnos was Dark Lord of the Sith that took the throne of the original Sith Empire after the untimely death of Tulak Hord. He would lead his empire into what became known as the Golden Age of the Sith. He would crush all enemies of the Empire, both foreign and domestic (aside from the Republic of course), expand the Empire's borders to its greatest extent, never be defeated or killed (he ruled the Empire until his natural death), strike fear into the hearts of his rivals and subjects, anoint Darth Vitiate as an official Sith Lord and survive as a Force ghost long after the Battle of Endor. However, his achievements are nothing compared to the Top 5 as he isolated the Empire due to the fact that he knew it wasn't strong enough to fight the Republic in a full-scale war; thus he is 6th place.
I actually think he should be higher. He was smart. He was smart enough to know that the sith couldn't over power the republic. Most sith just charged into battle for glory or hunger or power and a lot of them thought that they were invincible.
Darth Maul is a fictional character in the science fiction franchise Star Wars. Trained as Darth Sidious's first apprentice, he serves as a Sith Lord and a master of wielding a double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Maul debuted in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and has made subsequent appearances ...read more.
Tulak Hord was a Dark Lord of the Sith that seized power after the death of Ajunta Pall, the first Dark Lord of the Sith in galactic history. He would greatly expand the Empire's borders, develop skills with the lightsaber that would come to mark him as the greatest lightsaber duelist in galactic history, acquire abilities in the Force that all but dwarfed the powers of all Force-adepts combined (possibly making him the most powerful Sith Lord in Sith and possibly galactic history), appoint Khem Val and Aloysius Kallig as his two most trusted generals, discover essence transfer and never face defeat. However, he was literally stabbed in the back by his own apprentice and as with Marka Ragnos, failed to confront the Galactic Republic. This is why he is 7th place on the list.
Exar Kun was the Dark Lord of the Sith that started the Great Sith Wars against the Galactic Republic. He would come to anoint Ulic Qel-Droma as his apprentice, conquer large portions of the galaxy, slay his former master Vodo Siosk-Baas during the rescue of Ulic Qel-Droma on Coruscant, be the first to use a double-bladed lightsaber, destroy the spirit of Freedon Nadd once and for all and wipe out the Massassi race. But he failed to actually defeat the Republic and the Jedi in the Great Sith Wars thanks in part to the betrayal of Ulic Qel-Droma on Yavin IV and sheer arrogance on his part. He would also be slain by the Jedi first by a Wall of Light and later by the spirit of Vodo Siosk-Baas himself. Thus he makes 8th place.
Count Dooku of Serenno, from the House of Dooku is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise, appearing in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith as a primary and minor antagonist respectively. He was portrayed by Christopher Lee and ...read more.
Savage Oppress is a fictional character who appeared in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Oppress was the secret apprentice and of Count Dooku and brother of Darth Maul. He is voiced by Clancy Brown.
Darth Plagueis is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. Originally a Muun named Hego Demask, Plagueis trained under Darth Tenebrous. After he murdered Tenebrous, Plagueis, mentored a young Palpatine. Palpatine eventually joined Plagueis as his Sith apprentice. Plagueis was strong with the Force, possessing the ability to save others from death and to utilize midichlorians to create life. Darth Sidious eventually murdered his master in his sleep. Plagueis is first mentioned in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Plagueis served as the primary focus of a 2012 novel, Darth Plagueis, written by James Luceno. Trained Darth Sidious until Darth Sidious killed him.
Darth Nihilus is a fictional Sith lord who serves as a primary antagonist in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. 14? Seriously? He's the most badass sith ever. He used the force to feed off of entire PLANETS. His lightsaber hilt also looks awesome.
"He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake life dies… sacrificing itself to his hunger."
Naga Sadow was a Dark Lord of the Sith that seized the Imperial throne after the death of Marka Ragnos. He had the power to literally and completely control solar activity in space. He also launched the Great Hyperspace War against the Galactic Republic, created the Massassi race on Yavin IV, slew Ludo Kressh during a space battle above Korriban and tutored Freedon Nadd in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. However, he did lead the original Sith Empire to its destruction due to his foolish and arrogant belief that his armies were strong enough to challenge the might of the Republic and Jedi, indirectly cause the Sith Holocaust by the Jedi Order and was killed by Freedon Nadd due to his own insecurity. Thus he makes 9th place on the list.
Darth Vader is a Star Wars character and the main antagonist of the first three original Star Wars films and the main protagonist of the Star Wars prequel trilogy under his original name Anakin Skywalker. He had been trained as a Jedi but defected to the Sith lord and Galactic Chancellor Palpatine. ...read more.
