About Sith

The Sith are Dark Jedi who adhere to the Dark Side of the Force. Many Sith in the Star Wars universe object to the austere methods adhered to by the Jedi. Instead, the Sith embrace passion and frequently channel their anger into fierce bolts of Force lightning or within their lightsaber combat style. Once, the Sith were as numerous as Jedi with thousands of Sith scattered throughout the galaxy. However, beginning with Darth Bane, an ancient Sith Lord, the Sith followed "The Rule of Two," which means only two Sith Lords may exist at one time: A master and an apprentice. All other Sith were destroyed.

Following the events of the original Star Wars Trilogy, the Sith eventually repopulated their ranks. Under Darth Krayt, a powerful Sith Lord, the Dark Jedi flourished and he wished to create the "One Sith," a collective of numerous Sith all fighting for the same cause.

Dressing up as a Sith

Choose your favorite Sith Lord to dress as with any one of a number of officially licensed Star Wars costumes. The Force will be with you as Jedi-turned-Sith-turned-Jedi again and perennial fan favorite, Darth Vader with an imposing two-piece mask and deluxe, all-black costume complete with swirling cape. Or, dress as the baddest of the bad, the evil Emperor Palpatine with masks and a hooded robe in Imperial red.

Or, you can dress as one of Palpatine's ill-fated apprentices, the Jedi-turned-Sith Count Dooku with his regal purple lightsaber, or the fearsome Darth Maul with his red-and-black tattooed skin, wielding a distinctive double-ended Darth Maul lightsaber. Wear a Darth Maul mask to bring this fearsome costume to life!
