How about a TV show for the Sith?

I’m going to start this off in a really simple way.

Star Wars has two sides. There is the good. The Jedi, the Rebellion and the living force. T

here is also bad. The evils of the Sith, the Empire and of course the Dark Side.

Now let’s take a step back and look at Star Wars from a commercialized standpoint.

There are plenty of Star Wars shows out there. Excellent shows that really tell the story of Star Wars from different angles.

There’s just one problem, every single one of these shows have one thing in common.

They all represent the light side of the force or the ethical point of the view.

Of course there are certain episodes within shows that have dark intentions but the vast majority are all about the Jedi, the clones or the good-hearted perspective.

Now, from a marketing standpoint it just wouldn’t make sense for the Star Wars minds and decision makers to create a show centered around an evil force.

But this isn’t about marketing. No, what I’m referring to is the background and stories behind the central aspects that are a part of Star Wars.

The Sith…

I know everyone won’t agree with me on this, but I absolutely loved the prequels. I thought they were awesome and they told the story of what happened, exactly how it happened.

With that being said, there is one thing they got wrong.

The fans of Star Wars who won’t be reading the books or won’t be following individual storylines will never know how deep the roots of evil run.

By that I mean the stories of the Sith.

For instance, the ultimate manipulator within the Star Wars saga, the Emperor, truly doesn’t get his full story told.

Like, how did he come to power, how did he become so relevant in the galaxy as well as a super powerful force within the Dark Side?

Another untold story from the movies is the whole deal with Count Dooku becoming Darth Sidious’s new apprentice.

How did that happen? Why would Sidious want a former Jedi in his 80’s as his understudy?

The way the movies portray what happened, it just doesn’t make sense.

Now that I’ve established that there are some legitimate questions, let’s think about how they could be answered.

Just like the TV show The Clone Wars, why not create a show that is relatively around the same period but on the opposite side of the spectrum?

Well if I had my way, I’d create a show called The Sith Chronicles.

The show would take place immediately after Darth Maul was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Why it would start then is because Sidious’s master plan begins to take shape.

Shortly after Maul is killed, Senator Palpatine is named as Chancellor Valorum’s successor.

Later that day, as Darth Plagueis is celebrating with his apprentice Darth Sidious, the newly appointed Chancellor would truly earn his Sith Lord title as he maliciously tortured his mentor and master.

As a Star Wars fan, can you honestly tell me that you wouldn’t want to see a show that captivates this scene?

After seeing Sidious fight Yoda, all I wanted to see was more of him!

A character as devious and evil as Darth Sidious deserves the attention of a television show. I mean, the movies really don’t do him justice!

The Sith Chronicles could also elaborate on how Count Dooku and Darth Sidous became a Sith tandem.

I know how they came about but do you?

Star Wars needs more exposure. I’ve said it in my other posts, we are approaching a golden age!

Give us all the Star Wars material from all the angles!

After the Chronicles sheds some light on the Dooku/Sidious tandem, it could then expose the unknown origins of General Grievous.

For someone to understand the Star Wars timeline, they should really know both sides of the story.

Afterall, it was the Dark Lord himself who said “If one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects”

So, I say to you, Star Wars decision makers, PLEASE GIVE US DEVOTED FANS THE SITH CHRONICLES!!
