Like the Jedi, though to a lesser extent, the Sith pick their apprentices while young and easy to mold, with the exception being that Sith apprentices are tested and trained with what amounts to physical and mental torture, both to ensure they grow as powerful as possible, and so they become as bitter and hateful as possible all to increase their connection with the Dark Side, and to eventually murder and overthrow their master. Abusive Parents: Most Sith Masters, whether they actually are parents or not to their apprentices, ultimately take this role.Palpatine in particular uses this argument to sway Anakin into the Dark Side, and Anakin deludes himself into thinking that the Sith's ways can bring peace and order to the galaxy. To them, the Jedi Order are also power-hungry and paranoid of losing what powers they had, only covering with a guise of morality whereas the Sith are honest to themselves about their intentions. Above Good and Evil: Some Sith would claim that they are not evil, but rather following the only philosophy that makes sense in the galaxy.And ultimately they too were under the influence of a resurgent Sith Order. While the Sith and their ideology seemingly died with Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi, other Dark Side users still lived past that point, among them Supreme Leader Snoke and Kylo Ren - and even still, they draw influence from Sith Lords like Sidious and Vader.

However, his victory ended up being short-lived, as the Empire he wanted to last for centuries was ultimately undone in the span of a few decades, with the Jedi ultimately surviving - although Sidious's dark legacy still persists, as the Jedi's numbers remain few in the years after his death, and the First Order was organized as a way of carrying out his vision for the Galaxy. This review was completed using a copy of The Secrets of the Jedi that was provided by Insight Editions.Darth Sidious, better known to the Galaxy at large as Sheev Palpatine, took advantage of the growing imbalance in the Force to put himself in a position of power, and he would later successfully overthrow the Jedi Order by framing them as traitors to the Republic, which was then reorganized into the Galactic Empire. The Secrets of the Jedi will make an excellent holiday gift for any Star Wars fan, it is rated 4 out of 5 stars. The book is the perfect introduction to the Jedi and the Force for young fans, new fans and older fans. It’s written in a way that will appeal to children and the child inside all of us. It helps tell the history of the Jedi from the Old Republic all the way to the most current period of the Sequels.

The Secrets of the Jedi does a wonderful job of merging things that have been learned about the Jedi from The Original Trilogy, The Prequel Trilogy, The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and The Sequel Trilogy. There are also Aurebesh quotes on almost every page and a translation card so that you can uncover the sayings from prominent Jedi and Sith along the way. Many of the pages also have pop-outs that expound on the Jedi such as, the Code, lightsaber stances and letters from Jedi. The art in the book by Sergio Gómez Silvan is outstanding and luckily for readers there is a pullout-poster in the back of the book just begging to be framed.

Luke walks readers through the basics of the Jedi, the Order, the Force, the Sith, prominent members of both sects and much more. Luke admits his failures in blaming the Jedi for his mistakes as well as his regret for not carrying on the tradition better when the challenges came. The book is told from the perspective of Luke, after Rey has left in The Last Jedi to try to save Kylo and after he’s had his heart to heart with Yoda. In steps Mark Sumerak and his new book The Secrets of the Jedi to help show the transition that Luke makes as we near the end of the Skywalker Saga. Now, as fans eagerly anticipate The Rise of Skywalker, the words from the teaser trailer seem to indicate a softening in Luke’s heart towards these mystic monks when he says, “We’ve passed on all we know, the thousand generations live in you now, but this is your fight”. In The Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker had a very cynical attitude about the Jedi Order.
