Dear Yahoo!:
What is the history of the Sith?
Chris
San Francisco, California
Dear Chris:
A wise question, for the only way to prevent the Sith's return is to know how it first came to be. With the fate of the galaxy resting on our answer, we blasted over to StarWars.com for some wise words from Yoda himself. While we could never match the Jedi Master's intelligence, we did manage to channel his uncanny ability to speak backwards...

Ask of the Sith, do you? Jerks, they are. Evil and secretive, that also is true. Long have they existed, thousands of years in their current state. With a single Jedi, did their reign begin. One who believed his power was strengthened not with contemplation and passivity, but by embracing the Dark Side of the Force. Surprise you it won't to learn that this troubled soul was banished from the Jedi Order. Follow others did, though inevitable their destruction was.

After much in-fighting, rise again did the Sith with Darth Bane as their leader. As the Sith's core beliefs lead to betrayal and plotting, a new philosophy did Darth Bane start. Only two Sith at a time. Myself I quote, when I say, "Always two there are, no more no less. A master and an apprentice." An important rule this is. Now, ahem, about my consultant fee...

And we're out of time -- thanks for your help, Yoda. The check's in the mail. See you at Lando's party on Friday.
