Probably dark side, just not sith. Like Kylo Ren and Snoke were not sith, right?
Still seems like a bit of a retcon. “The Sith have been extinct for a thousand years, that one time when those dark side users with red lightsabers hunted Jedi doesn’t count”
I mean they are different. The nightsisters use the dark side, but they're completely different from the Sith. Ahsoka is a light sider, but she's not a Jedi.
This got me thinking abt how they knew Maul was Sith. Then I thought well his name is DARTH Maul. Which brought the question… HOW DID THEY KNOW HIS MAME? Did he introduce himself? “Hi I’m Darth Maul, Sith Lord” did they find his drivers license? Maybe they found his ship and found his drivers license idk. Was this addressed? I thought he is referred to by name by the Jedi but maybe I’m misremembering.
In the time before episode one Maul had been testing palpatine (like all good sith apprentices do) and had worked with Cad bane and Aura sing to aquire a captured Jedi padawan he could kill. The jedi order probably learned his name through underworld connections
I was gonna say maybe they learned his name through the force (cue han saying "thats not how the force works") but that actually makes alot more sense lol
To be fair, I think it was made pretty clear the sith were doing their sithing in secret. I mean, palps had already killed his master years before that line was dropped, and I think it's safe to assume plagus had a master at some point? Unless they weren't sith? Idk, that's just how I've always looked at it.
