The term "Chosen Sith" isn't a specific title or designation within the Star Wars universe. However, there are a few ways to interpret this question and understand who might be considered "chosen" by the Sith:
1. Chosen by the Force:
The Force is a powerful energy field that connects all living beings in the Star Wars galaxy. The Sith believe they have a special connection to the Force, tapping into its dark side for power. This leads to the idea of a "Chosen One" who is destined to bring balance to the Force. While the Jedi believe this chosen one will bring balance through light, the Sith believe they are the true balance.
-
Darth Bane: Bane, a Sith Lord who lived centuries before the events of the Skywalker saga, believed the Sith Order had become too large and chaotic. He established the Rule of Two, limiting the Sith to only a Master and an apprentice. He believed this would focus their power and make them stronger. Bane could be considered chosen by the dark side, as he transformed the Sith and made them a more powerful force.
-
Darth Sidious (Palpatine): A master manipulator, Sidious played a long game, orchestrating the downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. He believed he was the chosen one to bring order to the galaxy through his iron fist.
-
Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker): While Vader was initially chosen by the Jedi, he was tempted by the dark side and became a powerful Sith Lord. He believed he was the chosen one, but his path ultimately led to his downfall.
2. Chosen by a Sith Master:
A Sith Master might choose an apprentice based on their potential, loyalty, and ability to wield the dark side of the Force.
-
Darth Maul: A powerful warrior, Maul was chosen by Darth Sidious to be his apprentice. He was trained in the ways of the Sith and became a fearsome weapon.
-
Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku): A former Jedi Master, Dooku was seduced by the dark side and became a Sith Lord. He was chosen by Darth Sidious as a powerful ally in the Clone Wars.
3. Chosen by Destiny:
Some Sith might believe they are chosen by destiny to fulfill a specific purpose, such as conquering the galaxy or bringing about a new order.
- Darth Revan: A legendary Jedi Knight, Revan was seduced by the dark side and became a powerful Sith Lord. He believed he was chosen to conquer the galaxy and bring it under Sith rule.
Conclusion:
The concept of a "Chosen Sith" is open to interpretation and depends on how you define "chosen." While the Sith don't have a specific title or designation for a chosen one, there are many examples of Sith who believed they were chosen by the Force, their Master, or destiny. The Sith, like the Jedi, believe they are playing a vital role in shaping the galaxy, even if their methods are considered evil by many.
