I love how practical the Sith code is and how useful it is irl. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Because peace brings stagnation and passion is the only thing that drives us forward. If you ware at peace you care little to bettering your surroundings and yourself. But Passion is all about bettering yourself and your surroundings. Be better! Find your passion and get off your lazy ass and work towards what you want! Through Passion, I find Strength! Through my desire I shall gain what I need to obtain it. Basically I use my passion to learn/train/practice for my desires and while doing so I will not only gain physically what I need but I also gain knowledge of my desires. How to get it, who to know, what to have, why everything is the way it is. Strength is the ability to achieve your desires. Through Strength, I find POWER! The power to move towards my desires. The power to change things. The power to act, and with it the confidence that only comes from strength of will, knowledge and body. But also the political power of people that surrounds it, their respect and influence. All the means needed to achieve my desires are now in the grasp of my hand, all I need to do is actually use it. Through power, I find Victory! You did it! You gained what you wanted! You have achieved it all! Use your power to go the final step! Don't cover, don't hide! MOVE FORWARDS! The whole code is built around actually achieving what you want to. Not to maybe possibly do so, but to actually to it! Through Victory, my chains are broken! You will now see just how far you have come, and ever step empowers your future ones. The greater your passion the deeper your strength and the wider your power! Victory is never the end! It frees you to do more, so much more. In any field too! And so do those around you. They know what you have achieved. They know you are to be trusted, that you know what you are talking about and what you are capable of. This opens doors you never knew existed for you. The Force shall set you free. As long as you follow the path in it's entirety, you will succeed. Believe in the process. Make your own path, for it is inevitable that you shall reach it's end. A very practical way of breeding competence. I love it as it is applicable to everything in life, no matter how big or small your passion may be. I also like how no step is defined. So it applies to everything. Basically if you want something go get it! Can't, figure it out! Then go get it! The more unobtainable the more valuable the journey to get it is, but gaining it is just as important as the journey. As is what to do after gaining it. Soo good! But easily soo Evil! A code that can be corrupted to any end but also further any goal. It fits the Sith and the Empire so damn well!

Also, the Siths interpretation of the code is all about emotion and use of the force. With passion being a symbol for strong emotion, strength being how much of the force you can use, power being what you can to with it and victory being what you are able to achieve with that power. But the only emotion the code stats is passion. The rest is just how they themselves see it. They made it a tool for war, pain, suffering and revenge. How awesome of a writing tool is this!? It's so goooood! :D

The thing about passion is it isn't violence or destruction. Artists have passion. The sith are fundamentally existentialists. The only reason they're conquerors is because a sith ballet dancer wouldn't make a very interesting antagonist.

TBF no matter how tempting it is whenever I play as a sith in SWTOR, I always go out of my way to free slaves and befriend the common soldier. On one hand, you can simply interpret it as a sith seeing an easy way to gain power and influence to kill or overthrow those above them. But in the other it's because the sith code really feels like it resonates with those beneath the galactic society's feet. The Jedi, time and time again, end up just servicing the upper echelon of republic society, always making excuses for why they allow horrific crimes to continue. Personally it's why I think both Anakin and Ahsoka became disillusioned with both the Jedi and the Republic, because slavery was everywhere. The Jedi order could have easily purged the galaxy of slavery, but became scared that it would upset the balance of galactic economy and society. Slavery and poverty breed feelings of hatred, of feeling chained down, of defeat. All things that the sith code pushes you to destroy.

Always enjoy Sith content

I think it is worth noting that arguably, Darth Bane took the Sith code to another level. Those that came before saw the code as if it were a set of tenets to live by. As only virtues that one should apply to themselves as individuals. Darth Bane saw it as rules of the universe, and thus applied them not only to himself, but the rest of the galaxy, mostly through tactics and strategy. For example, the first line of the code, "peace is a lie," he applied by giving it to the jedi. He wiped out all sith but himself, making them believe that peace had been achieved, and thus left their guard down and allowed the Sith to eventually conquer the galaxy. The great peace of a thousand years was a lie.

And let me guess, it was the passion of the sith to come that let them gain strenght and amass power for the victory that is to come

Freedom either way is the cornerstone of Sith philosophy, and through personal achievement you can find one way to pursue liberation. This, to me the most important Sith values would be as thus. Liberation, self centeredness, determination, a commitment to your individual values and ambitions, passion, and self mastery. We currently live in an age where people are often indifferent and cynical, so I think that Sith teachings would show them that they can ultimately live for themselves. Survival has its basis in the vision and Sith values that we prefer above all others, more of these values can be said to be; the inner control, common will, self-discipline, warrior mentality, absolute individualism, independence, vitality, and perseverance. The point of Sith values is to create an individual that has the abilities or power to pursue what they like and survive in any environment. Our vision for a better future and world order is centered around the appeal to strength, power, and knowledge, as well as to all Sith along with victory. Since victory can be shared by all diligent and cunning individuals who work just as hard and do as good of a job on their self-development, we would say our vision is about making the world more suited for all by our aggregate actions towards order which makes it possible for the strongest/best as well as ambitious and victorious to gain freedom and gain perfection in all ways, to master oneself physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and financially.

The freedom that the Sith gain is and always shall be an illusion. While they may free themselves from the control of others, they will make themselves slaves to their own passions. This makes the Sith subject to the corrupting influence of their own dark emotions. Because of this, they will never truly have peace. It is hard to be at peace when you let your own anger, pain, and hate run free. If you don't let it go, it will consume you and turn you into something you cannot recognize.

I dont belive that such a divide exists. What you are **is** your passions, or your natural, animalistic drives

The Jedi's idea of bringing balance to the force was anything but balanced. They thought it meant destroying the Sith, balance would be to make both side equal in power. It would mean allowing people the freedom to choose for themselves which to follow. Or to choose to strike an internal balance of light and dark, forever twilight.

I wanna believe that when ancient astrologers look back at us and see both the Jedi and sith codes they would think we had 2 human factions that fought religious wars.

What makes the Sith the biggest threat in the universe is something they might not outright say, but for all intents and purposes, their ultimate goal is essentially to becomes gods. They never stop trying to achieve this goal, believing it is within their reach through the perversion of the Force via the use of the Dark Side. If the Force bows to the individual, specifically the Sith, who intend to enslave it to heed to such, they could shape life however they see fit and choose who is worthy of power or who isn’t. There will be no limit to what they can and will do.

You're friends with SkellyWagsTV yeah?

This is a very interesting video. If I may chime in, disagree in order to start respectful discussion though: This idea that the Dark Side is wholly corrupting and something that exists outside of the "True Force" is a product of Jedi philosophy. According to Chirrut Îmwe from Rogue One, "The Force darkly surrounds those who are about to kill." If this is to be believed, This means that any animal that consumes matter to survive is technically in tune with the dark side. A rabbit doesn't flout the ][natural order the way this video describes those using the dark side do by killing and eating grass, and a wolf also doesn't flout the natural order of the force when it kills and eats the rabbit. The dark side is just as much a part of the force as the light side. So, while claiming it is sentient is true, claiming that it wants to corrupt people to flout the natural order seems incorrect, because the dark side is still part of the force, part of the natural order. The dark side merely gives you the option to do so if you wish, though it likely doesn't explicitly encourage it. This is all to say that the dark side is something less like an addictive drug like cocaine or nicotine, and instead functions more like alcohol, in that it makes you more reckless/bolder with your decisions. The dark side doesn't seek to corrupt, the same as alcohol doesn't seek to make people abusive. That is just the nature of people. Alcohol doesn't seek to make someone braver or make them happy, either, and neither does the dark side. It is important to remember that the Sith doctrine is diametrically opposed to the Jedi Code. The Jedi code doesn't personify the Light side though, and similarly, the Sith Code doesn't personify the Dark Side, and I think we could stand to treat the codes of jedi and Sith as separate from the light and dark sides of the force. What they ultimately reflect is someone's interpretation of that side, and enough people found it agreeable that it stuck around. The Sith code is ultimately Similar to the Jedi code in a way I am kind of sad didn't get mentioned in this video. Both the Jedi and Sith codes deal with freedom. There is a John Green quote from his U.S. history series that I think summarizes the difference between the Jedi and Sith codes perfectly. It was something along the lines of, "It wasn't so much about the freedom to drink booze, it was freedom from the temptation to drink booze." The Jedi code was all about surrendering to the will of the force and letting the force guide you instead of yourself. The Sith Code was all about freedom to do what you wanted, regardless of the Force's actual wants. To recontextualize the John Green quote, "It wasn't so much about the freedom to [do what you want,] it was freedom from the temptation to [do what you want.]" The Dark side, wants people to surrender to its will, the same as the light side wants people to surrender to its will, so claiming that the Sith code represents the dark side, when the dark side theoretically wants the opposite seems like a pretty direct contradiction. The Jedi code offers freedom from a guilty conscience, and the Sith code offers freedom from consequences, which is the real reason why so many Sith seek immortality. It isn't to flout the natural order in the name of the dark side, it is to flout the natural order against the dark side, using the Sith code as justification. The Jedi do much the same, but I left a similarly huge rant on your community post about it already, so I won't go too far into it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Well I think a Sith fan should be the one that takes us on a deeper dive into their order! Not a Jedi lover! Lol I’m kinda joking…….. but I can clearly tell you’re talking about the Sith, like you’re reading it from the point of view of a Jedi. And when it comes to how they could never see eye to eye…….. you do remember that the first side to publicity say that “ALL” from the other order must be whipped out was the Jedi, right?!? Now, I’m not saying they were the first to think that, nor where they the first to try to kill one of the other side. But they were the first to say they needed to be whipped from the galaxy!

A few points:- 1) I would say it's less Sacrifice vs Selfishnes, but more Unity vs Individuality. The Force is made up of the energy of every living being, it's will is arguably the will of all life (including a Sith's own). A collective if you will. Jedi seek to obey that will (in Sith's eyes they would be willing slaves), to become one with that will (and in so doing loosing their own), Sith meanwhile seek to impose their own will on the force. This is more then being free of the force as you described but rather ruling the will / energy of every living being. 2) The goal of the Sith (as per the Sith Code) is Freedom. Where you describe it as free of Will of the Force (which is correct) I would take it further. Sith seek to free themselves of all restrictions whether imposed by others or themselves. Thing is if ONE being has complete and utter freedom then all other beings are not free at all. Because Sith seek freedom, they impose slavery on others.

I don't know if you have read the Recluce Series by L.E Moddiest but there was sequence there that reminded me of Star Wars when I read it when I was younger:- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wise Master was giving student a lesson and basically said:- If you use magic to light a fire for a freezing child, you give yourself to Chaos. (Fire is Chaos magic). If you use magic to heal a murderer, then you give yourself to Order (Healing is generally Order). In other words magic did not care the reason why you called on it, it cared on how/what you called. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That always reminded of Star Wars. Call on the Force to heal some-one out of passion, you are dark-side. Call on the Force to kill someone because you (and the Force) have dispassionately judged them as a threat...you are light-side. Again the Force does not care if you are calling for murder or healing or visions etc. HOW you call it is what defines you as a Light-Sider or Dark-Sider. Call on the force when you are in-tune with it's will, great you are light-side. Call on it when you want to go your own way against the will of the force, to impose your own will on the force...You tread on the path of the Dark Side. NOTE: Keep in mind we are not talking about Han Solo or even Admiral Piett being 'individualistic' or 'orderly'. We are talking about FORCE-USERS being individualistic etc... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically a Jedi is meant to harmonise their own will with the Larger Will (The Force). Most heroes (especially in fiction) though are more individualistic. They might defend Society from outside threats but they are very willing to push-back against society if they feel society is constraining them un-fairly, so they would probably all end up as Dark-Siders eventually. Heroes again in fiction tend to be passionate, defending their 'nakama' or group etc... Such a path would lead most 'Heroes' to the Dark Side (if they had/used the Force).

Sith teaching/lore I equally interesting to Jedi, maybe more, because they are more diverse and daring to experiment that Jedi.

This channel already explained that it's not real. You either follow the will of the force or you don't. Tolo try and be a grey Jedi is to want the best of both worlds. It won't work. Dabbling in the dark side is like dabbling in heroin. You won't even know when you're too far gone.

I think that the Force does not distinguish between Light Side and Dark Side, there is only The Force. Light and Dark are determined by the choices of the Force sensitive channeling its power.

All of that is wrong

Kinda interesting what that means for our world : When you give up everything and just drift along you end up nowhere and with noone, as the force that unifies you in the end doesnt exist. When you let your emotions run wild , they will eventually consume you leaving you a bitter shell of who you once were and equally alone. Find balance between the sides

The Sith conform to there code more than the Jedi. That said the grey Jedi, to my mind, are the only faction that truly follow the will of the force. The sith and the jedi bend the force to there will. Legends Luke does a good job of trying to be a conducting element and focus of the force.

@@TheMinskyTerrorist in your certain perspective. Read the comics. The Jedi Order's origins can be traced back to the Dai Bendu, a Force cult that preceded the Jedi and believed in balance rather than the light or dark side. The first Jedi Temple was believed to be on Ahch-To, even though the Dai Bendu were associated with Coruscant

Not really all that confident in your interpretation, seeing as you think that light side= following the will of the force and dark side=subjugating the force. Not sure if you noticed, but the light side jedi created the sith with their dogmatic persuit of "Light side".

Well, I guess the Sith were just misunderstood space-libertarians after all…

The Sith code may sound appealing at first glance with its promises of freedom and power, but as many Sith themselves will tell you, it's a trap! Cue the obligatory Admiral Ackbar reference. For all their talk of freedom and power, they are actually slaves to their own emotions. The Jedi on the other hand are different, while at first glance you may think they try to suppress their emotions that is not the case, at least for the Jedi who understand nuance as some don't and do try to completely suppress their emotions like Ki-Aid-Mundi, they teach to not let you're emotions control you, emotions are apart of everyone there natural, it's not about having hatred, anger, passion, or whatever, it's what you do with them. I mean look at Obi-Wan he defiantly has hatred for Maul for what he did to Qui-Gon and Satine, but he never lets that anger consume him, but he doesn't pretend it's not there or that he doesn't still care about Qui-Gon and Satine. On Qui-Gon to Anakin in Chapter 21 of the Mircro-series, "I know. I miss him too. Not a day goes by that I don't look to his teachings for guidance." On Satine when Bo-Katan questioned if she even meant something to Obi-Wan in Clone Wars season 7, "She did. And still does. But I cannot let my emotions cloud my judgment." The Jedi are all about controlling their emotions, and trusting the Force knows what to do. Now not everyone trusts the Force, but that's okay, many people in the Galaxy just want the freedom to do their own thing, live their lives, accomplish their dreams, and be happy, and as long as they don't hurt anyone with their freedom then that's fine. The Force, despite its name, never forces its will onto others, it merely asks for permission and if it doesn't get it then it accepts because if it did force its will on others it would be no better than the Dark Side. Both the Force and the Jedi know this, and that's why they let the regular Joes just live their lives how they want, and even let Jedi leave the Order if they want to because they don't think the Jedi way is for them because they respect the freedom and happiness of all life. Whereas the Sith do not, the Sith Order doesn't just let you walk away if you want to leave, there is no real freedom, you're a slave to the Dark Side and if you want out of the Sith then you have to fight for it, because staying in this Order only leads to pain and suffering for others, the galaxy, and for the Sith themselves, it's a never-ending vicious cycle of pain and misery.

True. In KOTOR II, look no further than Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus. Darth Sion has practically become immortal simply by drawing on his pure rage and hatred to keep his broken body together. However, the net result is constant pain and agony with no sense of joy and peace in the end. Darth Nihilus is essentially a slave to his own power. He encapsulates the very nature of giving in to the Dark Side to the extreme. The more you divulge yourself into the Dark Side (much like drugs or any form of craving), you become addicted to it very quickly. In Nihilus' case, he became so addicted, he cannot control himself let alone live without his hunger.

Its Darwinian not national socialist. Natsocs didn't invent nature, the nature of conflict and competition to strengthen and perfect a individual being.

just going to say it but a close look at the grey jedi code would be cool

Not a real thing

Sith under Disney is shit

Duh

This seems a litte too black and white. I'd argue that them seeking freedom is not worse than submitting to whatever the force demands of you. I tend to think that the Je'dai and the Grey Jedi (none of that, "there's no such thing", they were a sensible counterweight) had a pretty good handle on it. Go with the flow of the force, but do not just blind follow it or subjugate it. Both codes, as they stand, encourage followers to make bad decisions. Especially since the light side isn't inherently good, nor is the dark alway bad. Unless you find a balance in your life and way of thinking you will fall. Whether you fall to the light or dark, you're going to be corrupted either way.

me being a sith both in and outside of star wars.

So much misleading information

I think both schools of thought are idiotic. The Force is the Force, nothing more or less. You can bend it to your will, but you can never fully control or break it. Passion is powerful, but you need to control or direct it without completely denying yourself the very thing that makes you a person. Controlled Chaos is ideal for the Force, rather than complete control or wild anandon. I much prefer the Gray philosophy. Selecting only the light or the dark will lock one out of an entire half of Force potential. Jedi are dumb. Peace through warfare while using pacifist teachings and acting outside that very teaching. Preaching enlightenment while directly furthering counterintuitive practices. Sith are stupid. Ambition running wild and completely unable to compromise, leading to infighting and self-sabotage. They corrupt and destroy everything they are and touch, and think they're gaining power and longevity. Both want stability in the galaxy, and both are bad at it.

This guy is actually wrong. In the original films deleted scenes quote “the Sith”
