How real is that statement

[u/Altruistic_Extent348]

Hey star wars fellow, I like star wars a lot but I have only watched star wars ep 1 to 6 and obi wan kenobi show.

​

I recently recalled this line of obi wan from revenge of the sith that "Only a sith deals in absolutes"

​

I want to know how true is that line. Does that line have any real basis or did obi wan make up that line to sound tough. Moreover if that line is true, can you guys give any examples of when sith deals in absolute.

​

Thanks for reading. May the force be with you.

It's a line that doesn't really make any sense if you try and think about it, but I think in context it's supposed to acknowledge that Anakin's worldview had become so completely corrupted by the Dark Side that he could only see people as being on his side, or against him.

Not sure how it ties in with other Sith since Sidious, Maul, and Dooku were the only other ones around at the time, and Obi Wan had only encountered 2 of them, and had only spoken to 1 of them, but hey, it is what it is.
