dark jedi or sith

[Darth Veles]

Dark Jedi are just Sith wannabes.

In my opinion, Sith are an order just like Jedi, but practice the DS instead of the LS. They usually have grand goals they wish to accomplish, are pragmatic, somewhat honorable, have great control over their emotions.

Dark Jedi, on the other hand, are often weak-willed, primitive beings who are extremely selfish and only care about themselves. Often ruled by their emotions and basic urges, the Dark Jedi try really hard to be Sith but fail more often than not.

And yes, I think that about half of Sith chars here are actually Dark Jedi who just call themselves Sith...

I guess question is, what are sith characteristic, that dark Jedi do not have then. As well as visa versa

The Sith Code is what unites all Sith. One Sith characteristics, besides the code, are that they stand together, they are equal. And they follow the Vision.

Dark Jedi are more individual, caring more about their own personal goals.

Oh how rash of you to say that. I have a noble idea to what I do. As well does Dante Zankar, and my other DJ alt [member="Zoey Marix"], they have their reasons for fighting. In fact zoey fights for an order of false gods. You may want to look more into that.

In the beginning, there were only Jedi. However there was split when a man named Xendor decided to study the dark aspects of the force and caused the First Great Schism. Following a series of events that transpired out of consequence, a century long conflict ended with 12 Dark Jedi who were exiled into space. During their exile they found a small space kingdom in the outer-rim of red skinned savages called the Sith. These savages saw the High General of the Dark Jedi Ajunta Pall as a manifestation of one of their gods, Typhojem, and thus named him Jen'Ari, or Rather the first Dark Lord of the Sith. The Dark Jedi would teach the Sith and their descendants how to user the force with greater power and control, and prefect their techniques such as alchemy and magic.

The definition of what Sith is slightly different in each Epoch of Star Wars. With the Sith Empire, The New Sith, The Order of Sith Lords, And the One Sith. Along with several other groups like the Black Knights, The Lost tribe, and Lumiya's Sith. In the End, when you ask what's the difference the answer is this. The difference between a Dark Jedi and a Sith is that a Sith belongs to a more organized religious sect which use the Dark Side of the Force.

I believe the first response to this thread answered the question best. But to paraphrase it in the most basic terms:

"Dark Jedi" is a blanket term that generally denotes anyone who uses the Dark Side of the Force.

"Sith" implies membership within the Sith Order specifically, which is one of many Dark Side cults.

That's basically all you need to know.

Sith live to a code.

Dark jedi dont and are Selfish more then the Sith. NOt bound by Order

The Difference if that of Lawful Evil vs Chaotic Evil

 

[Ak'lya]

The difference between the two is simple: The Sith are an order. They have a definite start, a set of rules, a code, and even their own special force powers (Spells and Alchemy). Dark Jedi, on the other hand, is a blanket term for any dark sider that isn't specifically Sith. For example, Gida, as a former blackguard, could be a Dark Jedi. Dalansa, who still lived as a Sith apprentice but never replaced her philosophies with theirs, would be as well. As to which is better, well, most of the time Sith wind up more immersed, but a Dark Jedi is just as powerful and more often than not, more diverse.

 

[Asara Venter]

One is a defined religion with a culture, mantra, history and its own branches of collective doctrines (the One Sith, the Brotherhood of Darkness, the Order of the Sith Lords etc). The other is a blanket term for a Dark Sider not of the Jedi or the Sith.

 

[Ellie Mors]

The Sith are a darker breed of the Dark Sider brand, whereas a Dark Jedi is merely a Jedi that has fallen to the dark side. Nothing about their alignments affect this, it is merely that.

Dark Jedi are Jedi whom have fallen to the dark side, whether they seek to become Sith or not.

Sith are the epitome of evil in the Star Wars franchise, and their "code" is not even a code at all. People believe they follow it like the Jedi, but do not understand that all the code for Sith means is that of a lifestyle. In layman's terms, the code is a description of the Sith - not what they live by. It is to mean that they are brutal, powerful, passionate, and strive for perfection.

Ignore what others say, and their opinions, as they're bringing personal bias into the conversation.

And you aren't?

I'm literally paraphrasing what is written in the wiki. The difference between Dark Jedi and Sith are that the Dark Jedi are an over-reaching term for any Jedi that has fallen to the dark side, whereas the Sith are an order (more or less, anyways).

There is no innate superiority between the two, it is just a further categorization of dark siders.

(Dark Jedi are also not the umbrella term for all Dark Siders, for those of you who made the claim prior - they are literally Jedi that have fallen to the Dark Side but do not embrace any order.)

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

I ment mine as a Compliment, Since i know you love the Sith. [member="Silara Vantai"]

but on about the Dark Jedi and useing my character as a Example; Kezeroth was never a Jedi and he was raised with Sith doctrine but rejects it does that mean hes a in general Darksider?

 

[Ellie Mors]

Board mechanics aside, you would be what is considered a "Dark Sider" (Which is an actual Legends Canon term.)

 

[Ak'lya]

Although "Dark Jedi" originally referred to a Jedi who had fallen to the dark side, it could also refer to uninitiated Force-sensitives who received no Jedi training but began their careers under another Dark Jedi. Others were simply dark-side users who did not follow the teachings of the Sith or other dark side organizations.

The term Dark Jedi was a collective and vague name of dark side practitioners (be they fallen or rogue Jedi) that used Force powers and a lightsaber, but were not always members of a certain organization; whereas the term Sith refers to a definite heritage or ideology. Some Dark Jedi were allied to the Sith or other organizations, while others were loners

Quoted from here.

Origionally, yes, it was just Jedi. But as writers and designers got lazy, it wound up as the blanket term.

"A dark Jedi is anyone who practices the dark side of the Force whether or not they were a former Jedi."
