The star wars features one of the most iconic sci-fi and fantasy universes of all time. The classic tale of the light side versus the dark side featuring aliens, spaceships, lightsabers, the force, Jedi and Sith has become a cultural staple. The star wars The lore not only includes the subject of movies and TV series, but much more.
The lore dives deep into the ancient Jedi masters, the alliances between planets and their civilizations, and of course, the evil Sith lords. One question among the fandom is which Sith Lord in the star wars the universe is the most powerful, and the discussion forums on Reddit have once again saved the day.
Darth Sidious
Darth Sidious is, well, one of the most insidious characters in the star wars franchise. Sidious is also known as the Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He rose to power in the Senate as a Senator from Naboo and lived a double life as a Sith Lord. Sidious is extremely powerful and has a very intricate knowledge of techniques to harness dark side force energy.
He raised Darth Maul as an apprentice and then also trained Darth Vader. Sidious’ “unlimited power” included a masterful knowledge of lightsaber combat as well as the terrifying force of lightning.
DarkVitiate
Darth Vitiate (also known as Tenebrae) is from the Old Republic universe and was one of the Sith Emperors who remained in power for thousands of years. He is an ancient dark side entity and has appeared in many forms (but his most famous included Vitiate).
Vitiate was extremely gifted with the dark side from an early age and even absorbed the life force of an entire planet to gain more power.
Dark Plageuis
Darth Plageuis is one of the most famous Sith Lords in the star wars Universe. Plageuis was Darth Sidious’ mentor and master, and Anakin was told about it in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Plageuis was unique as a Sith Lord because he had the ability to prevent death and create life. However, he was unable to prevent his own death when Sidious betrayed him and murdered him in his sleep to become a Sith Master.
Darth Nihilus
Darth Nihilus is an iconic Sith lord that many star wars fans love it. He is best known for being the Sith Lord with one of the best “looks” as he wears a skeletal mask with a dark shroud. He was also extremely powerful and could sense strong planets in the Force as well as different Force users.
When he found a planet strong in the force, he would wipe it clean entirely and kill everyone and anything touched by that force – pretty brutal.
Darth Revan
Darth Revan is also a fan-favorite Sith Lord, and quite powerful too. Revan was not only a fierce duelist, but was extremely strong in strength.
Even though he was captured by Darth Vitiate, Revan was still able to exert influence over the Emperor and then destroy the Republic. He was one of the most feared Sith of his time.
Exar Kun
Exar Kun is a Sith Lord who is not often mentioned or discussed in the star wars Universe. Exar Kun was a human Jedi Knight who fell into the clutches of the dark side and later became a Dark Lord.
He had such a strong desire to be almighty that he was still able to affect the world as a spiritual being with strength after giving up his own body.
Darth Caedus
Darth Caedus is another unknown but very powerful Sith Lord. Caedus is Anakin Skywalker’s grandson and is extremely strong in the Force.
He received Jedi and Sith training, giving him a complete technique to approach the power of the force. Apparently, his lightsaber skills were considered only the best after the one and only Luke Skywalker.
Darth Bane
Darth Bane is a legendary Sith lord who was active in the ancient eras of Sith rule. Bane realized that the Sith traditions of the past were outdated and a dead end to increasing his power.
Bane was therefore considered the founder of what is the modern Sith. He was also the sole survivor of the Dark Brotherhood’s destruction.
Darth Zion
Darth Sion is yet another Sith Lord known as the Lord of Pain. He was a Sith Marauder during the Great Sith War and fought against Exar Kun. He was struck, but rather than die, he used his anger, his hatred and his pain to rise from certain death.
His now immortal body was held together by the dark side of the force and he survived for the rest of the war. Now allied with Revan and Malak, he gains power.
dark Vador
By far the most iconic Sith lord and warrior is Darth Vader (or Anakin Skywalker). He, through his many injuries and being trapped in a technologically advanced suit to survive, remained strong with the force.
He even tracked down the survivors of Order 66 and brutally slaughtered them with his superior lightsaber skills.
