Ah good, a thread to talk about how stupid the sith and dark side in general wound up looking as the universe became more fleshed out.

A New Hope:
>The Dark Side is quicker, easier, more seductive
What everything since portrays it as:
>Every sith apprentice is trained with endless torture and pain to increase their HATE stat, which makes them stronger. Also they have to constantly walk around with rocks in their shoes or some shit so their HATE remains maxxed
quick and easy. right.

Also
>Every Sith master is inevitably killed by their apprentice, who has been trained to hate and envy them to maximum degree
Like, maybe don't do this? Or maybe just don't train an apprentice at all? Why are you this stupid?
