Star Wars’ most recent output has convinced me that it’s time for the franchise to move on from the Sith and fully embrace a different type of villain. Star Wars was built on the conflict between light and dark, the Jedi vs. the Sith, even though the Jedi were all but extinct during the original Star Wars trilogy – the Empire and the Rebellion were essentially superficial militaristic extensions of both Force factions.
From the first High Republic-era story, Charles Soule’s Star Wars: Light of the Jedi, it was clear that the violent and devious band of marauders known as the Nihil would be a major adversary for the Jedi and the Republic. Their leader, Marchion Ro, an enigmatic yet incredibly cunning Evereni, devised a multistep plan to destroy the Republic’s outreach efforts, scatter its resources, and force the Jedi to retreat from terrifying, Force-eating creatures known as the Nameless.
✕ Remove Ads Pirates Roam Freely In The New Republic Era Close Pirates haven’t just made a name for themselves in the High Republic era. They’ve become a major part of Star Wars’ wider storytelling. In the so-called “Mandoverse” sub-franchise, which explores how the galaxy fared after the fall of the Empire under the New Republic’s rule, pirates are still a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy.
Is Star Wars Afraid Of Pursuing More Sith Stories? Close ✕ Remove Ads I believe Star Wars should leave the Sith in the past, at least for a while. That’s why I’m so excited by the franchise’s most recent output. They’re not just focusing on pirates, but witches, too, and digging deeper into the Force’s lore than solely what the Sith and Jedi believe in and use. It’s an exciting time, and I hope Star Wars sticks with it, even if Rey is building a new Jedi Order.
