The Star Wars saga is all about the battle between good and evil, leading to the creation of several Sith Lords and other dark side users for the Star Wars movies and TV shows. Although the Sith weren’t mentioned by name in the original Star Wars trilogy, George Lucas always intended for them to be the main villains of the saga. The Star Wars prequel trilogy revealed more about Sith customs and their dichotomy with the Jedi Order, and countless books, comics, and video games have delved into Sith history in Star Wars canon and Legends.

While the Sith may appear synonymous with the dark side of the Force, Star Wars features several dark side users who aren’t technically Sith. Many of them serve the Sith or have some connection, but others have their own history and unique ways of using the Force. While the movies and shows only feature a fraction of the dark side characters from other media, some of them eventually made their onscreen debut. From the original trilogy to the present, 53 Star Wars characters appear in the movies and shows that are Sith or another kind of dark side user.
