#Sith Apprentice

Asajj Ventress - sith asassin, night sister and nounty hunter.

Crazy to me that this of all things is what makes me type out a post when I have so many in drafts just waiting to be completed but hey. Gotta vent. Here goes.

Everyone was commenting in bad faith, in the comments and X is where intelligent discourse goes to perish, so taking this seriously (or as seriously as a "who would win" debate can allow):

This could go either way!

On the one hand, yes, Maul is the more skilled fighter.

Sure, technique-wise, Qimir is very skilled... but he fights like "a mean Jedi who cheats in a fight."

Maul-- *Darth Maul fights like a Sith Lord. He's been trained the old fashioned Sith way from a very early age.

From a narrative POV too, this tracks.

Qimir's master is Plagueis, essentially a Sith whose interest and focus is in science and the occult. He taught Sidious just enough for the latter to master the seven forms, then went back to his research.

Sidious, on the other hand, was a political animal who NEEDED a more fighting-savvy apprentice to do the dirty work in the shadows, and thus molded Maul to be such a weapon.

And you see this too in how either fighter maintains control of a duel.

I'd rank Sol and Qui-Gon at a comparable level.

We see that when Sol gets either angry OR focused, Qimir finds himself at a disadvantage and begins to falter, either retreating or drastically changing tactics. Qimir loses both those fights.

Compare with how Maul handled Qui-Gon in either of those states. He lets Qui-Gon rush at him, then resorts to dirty tricks when Qui-Gon is in a more defensive state. That's how a Sith does it. That's why Maul wins.

HOWEVER! Maul has a flaw that he never, ever outgrows.

In a situation where he's superior, he gets arrogant. He gets cocky. He takes his sweet time to gloat and do the flips and whirl the saber and taunt his prey.

It's why Obi-Wan almost always beats him. It's why Ahsoka, an inferior fighter, beats him too. It's why he didn't see Sidious coming.

Like a true Sith, Maul's overconfidence is his weakness.

You know who doesn't have that weakness?

The guy who does have Jedi training. Who put in the work and already outgrew his own ego and arrogance.

Friggin' Qimir.

Who is seen pulling off no-bullshit kill after no-bullshit kill. Screw the pageantry, screw a clean win.

Padawan breaks his mask? Stabbed in the heart.

Jedi attacks him by surprise? Breaks his neck.

Multiple Jedi attack him? Trakata moves left and right until they're all dead.

So Qimir is a more calculating and focused fighter.

Which means that what a duel between the two comes down to is external circumstances. Their levels aren't so distant that Maul would blitz the Stranger, this would be a long duel.

That said, Qimir is more likely to die in the heat of battle.

But if Maul merely wounds him? Then 9 times out of 10 he'll hang around and gloat, which is something Qimir would capitalize on to deliver a killing blow.

Procrastination over, venting complete.

The devil’s apprentice ❤️‍🔥

I’m so excited to finally share first sith apprentice!Ahsoka piece from my AU. I worked sooo hard on her design and I’m really happy with how she turned out!!! I tried to match her outfit’s color palette with Obi-Wan’s cuz they are supposed to be the most stylish sith duo in the galaxy 😎

You can also take a look at my sith!Obi-Wan design post

Survival

[nevermindigotthis]

Aeste, apprentice of Darth Vader and former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis. Link to the fic that inspired this

[ins0mnia-dreams]

Let's continue with a Sith series. WIP teaser.

[wenalena]

I don't have drawing them together since a long time ago ! I will post very soon my fanfiction about them (absolutely no romance) I have finished the translation of my two first chapter and I very excited (and stressed) to share this with someone else than my partner <:')

I offer you the resume :

Thirty-three years ago the Empire was gone and the New Republic continued to solidify its relationship across the galaxy.

June leads a more than peaceful life on Naboo where her mother's business thrives. She lacks nothing and her future seems all mapped out as well as those of her friends. Well, all of this was before one of his friends decided to rob a cartel and put a target on their backs. Although she had always dreamed of adventure, June would have done well without this kind of trouble. Forced to run away, their ship crashes on Tatooine where they find a strange jewel. In contact with him, the young lady will realize that she is perhaps not so normal and that her universe could end up upside down forever.

Has anyone noticed the uncanny resemblance between the new Sith apprentice in ‘Ahsoka’ — and adult film star Gabbie Carter?

Asking fer a friend.

[nekorinnie]

Some time before Evorurt went through the Jedi Knight storyline..

As Jedi Shadow code named Vole, he went on a short-term undercover mission to Korriban...

It was meant to be an in and out, short term get some info of how things work, etc

Except that

Sith Acolyte Jin soon finds himself apprenticed to Darth Baras.,

What was meant to be a short-term mission... very quickly and suddenly... became long term

[dathomirdumpsterfire]

odd tho, that right at the finish line to the revenge of the sith (a thousand years in the making) sheev would send maul to fight some jedi on naboo, right? when by all means he got the result he wanted from the jedi 'winning' that conflict. big risk of discovery innit?

unless that wasn't about the planet at all. unless sheev wanted maul to fight qui-gon, specifically. ya know, sith historically love pitting apprentices against each other...

...and qui-gon was all about the prophecy of the chosen one, right?

and like, there's only a few canon sith, versus a metric ton of jedi. fifty thousand or something?

cool.

... what did everyone think 'balance' meant?

yeah so, what IF qui-gon knew what kind of monster anakin was going to become.

what IF qui-gon was another sith apprentice.

what if that duel was 'who gets to train anakin' and either way the jedi lose?

lil ani, destined to bring balance to the force? well. he did. in a manner of speaking.

anyhoo. sith qui-gon au, amirite?

Who is The Acolyte? | Star Wars Theory

"A Hundred years before the rise of the Empire, the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic have prospered for centuries without war. During this time, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master against a dangerous warrior from his past." "A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes but" "as more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…" Join me I theorize on who the Acolyte is?

[shikkatl]

Claveeda

Claveeda is Laveena's sister! she's a sith in training, overseeing the kyber crystal mines her family used to work in before the empire took over the planet. unlike her sister, she gave in to the dark side fully, and became a pawn for the sith lords above. her chest and weapon are both made out of beskar, and she turned her lightsaber into a spear this way. her personality is very collected but she harbors tremendous rage towards her sister- and towards the empire itself as well-.
