Ok young grasshopper, you ask me what might make me interested in the Sith. I shall endarken you, my apprentice.
First off, they are evil. I enjoy evil alot more than good. Actually...That's not true. I enjoy wickedness more than piety. I've been given a perception, especially in the 2nd term of Bush era, that no matter that I carry bandaids out to a girl who's fallen off her bike and skinned her knee, I'd still be perceived as sinful, and unrepenting, and therefor evil.
I also think, like most Sith fans, that Sith don't represent evil as much as they do rebelling against the status quo, that Jedi are forsworn to maintain. And it makes sense when you think of it. Sith are encouraged to be angry, and lash out. Jedi are taught to be passive, and stoic, holding in their base emotions. Even love. No wonder so many of them fall short. I think there is also an Eastern/Western dynamic going. Jedi are in philosophy very close to being Buddist, and Sith are definately more Western in the ideals of self expression, self intrest, and focusing on material comfort and pleasure. And who wouldn't be facinated with the idea that might really does make right. It's not socially acceptible (damn Jedi!) but who hasn't wanted to just utterly crush an enemy, drive them befor you, and hear the lamentations of their women? Is it worse to simply accept you are Sith, force choke some damned fools, and eventually realize you like your kid more than the old dude that's been riding your ass for years, or be the old sucker that goes and lives in a cave for 18 years because you fucked up good once and lost a galaxy, because you thought you were doing the "right thing"? *rolls eyes*
Also I had a certain amount of training from one who could definately be counted amongst the Sith if such truely existed.
watcher1 is a lush character of a person, who's true life exploits are wild enough to be fiction. He has had handmaids to go out and distroy enemies. He's gathered loyal followers. He's challenged lightning storms, and fought for possessions with a worrisom fury. He's plotted and schemed, and he taught me. I was his quiet apprentice, and his confidante. I think he's Mind Tricked me so much that, that is the reason I'm so forgetful. I still do remember some things, like the Vengance Device, that would cause a great deal of fun if I ever revealed it's secrets. Aaah...Youth.
So, that's why I like Sith.
Any more questions?
