Star Wars: The Clone Wars Forums: Best and worst Sith

there have been so many sith in the starwars universe.

who do you think were the best and worst?

i think that darth vader was the best because of how in control he was and that darth maul was the worst cuz he died so easily without accomplishing anything other than killing quigon.

does this include games? in my opinion i think Darth revan from kotor was the best sith ever no doubt he commanded legions, multiskilled, skilled lightsaber fighter and force powers, great military leader, and has great foresight into future events and how to plan it. i hate how the writers of the games didnt really give a good ending to his tory i think he makes a raw character but they kinda just gave up and didnt continue with him in the other games.

worst sith would be Darth maul iliked his design but he died really quickly

I think either Darth Sidious or Darth Bane were the best.

Darth Maul or Darth Vectivus. Maul wasn't powerful enough, and Vectivus... seemed too nice to be a Sith Lord. (He was by no means a saint, but he was no where near as evil as Vader, Bane, or Sidious.)

I'd say that Darth Bane was definately the best Sith (or atleast close to it). He brought the Sith order to it's peak and comanded a great amount of power.

Choosing the "worst Sith" is a bit difficult. Everyone (Sith or Jedi) has had moments where they've shined and moments where they haven't.

I wouldn't concider him the worst Sith in any way but I feel compelled to point out Darth Sidious (gonna get bashed for this I bet lol). I don't agree with alot of his policies. While his manipulations and power of command are spectacular, he did destroy the Sith order.
It started when he violated the Rule of Two and killed Darth Plageus in his sleep. If I remember correctly, a duel to the death determines whether or not the apprentice is ready to take the role of master. Killing him in his sleep seemed like the cowardly thing to do.
There's also the immense number of apprentices he had. I personally believe that he was too fickle with apprenticeship. She had, what, six or so apprentices? He didn't really spend enough time with any of them and just used them too expendably. This is what led him to die and take the Sith order with him (when he turned on Vader and didn't expect the retalliation).
Though despite this I wouldn't concider him the worst in any way. I was just pointing out a few flaws I spotted.

I also have some complaints about Darth Tyrannus and Darth Maul.

Though by default I'd say Darth Caedus was the worst (or atleast my least favorite). I found him both the most annoying and the most infurriating.

I'd have to say Exar'Kun was the best. I mean, even after he got killed, he thrived by sealing his dang soul in an ancient temple!

the worst, of course, was Ventress. she was a weakling all the way. but what I like about her is that she went Jedi right before her death

fine, fine, she was on the dark side anyway. and she did heed Obi Wan's words and turned to the light just before she presumably died.

It's only to be expected that Lumiya would want to kill Luke (*cough* Dark side vs. Light *cough*).

But I like Lumiya. I agree that she is a very likeable bad-guy. I've always compared here to Mara Jade in a way too.

And as for Darth Caedus, I read about Jacen turning to the dark side long before I read any stories about him on the light side so I guess I'm a bit partial here. I see how knowing him as Jacen for so long before having him fall to the dark side does could seem very wrong.
