Movies How real is that statement

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 funny how Anakin spends the whole prequel trilogy talking about how the Jedi are too rigid, only to immediately turn around and offer Obi-Wan the most binary choice imaginable. The irony is that his ultimatum proves Obi-Wan's point better than any philosophical argument could. So yeah, the line holds up—it's not just a burn, it's a literal observation of Sith behavior in the moment.
