Som svar på din fråga använde Sith för att styra galaxen före Republiken (och Jedi-ordningen) omkastade dem. Denna handling är vad Sith tar hämnd för i Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
“The Republic has fallen, Padmé,” Obi-Wan said gravely. “The Jedi
Order is no more.” “I know.” Padmé gazed at him, seeing the new lines
in his face. “It’s hard to believe.” She took a deep breath. “But the

feeding the light with each work of their hands, with each breath,
with every beat of their hearts, bringing justice, building civil
society, radiating peace, acting out of selfless love for all living
things-and in all these thousand years, there have been only two Sith
at any time.
