Main articles: Star Wars sources and analogues and Star Wars § Themes Subsequent Star Wars Legends media use the term "Dark Jedi" for various characters attuned to the dark side of the Force some of these characters (including Vader and Sidious) would be later identified as Sith, although the term would also be applied to non-Sith characters with similar goals and practices.

In his novel series The Thrawn Trilogy (1991–1993), author Timothy Zahn labeled Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine as "Dark Jedi", as the meaning of the term "Sith" had not yet been defined. Sith characters had also been portrayed as such in some Star Wars Legends works prior to the release of The Phantom Menace (the first film to identify characters as Sith on-screen), and in deleted footage from the original film.
The word Sith was first used in the 1974 rough draft of Star Wars with the first published use being the 1976 novelization of Star Wars as a title for the key villain Darth Vader, the "Dark Lord of the Sith". In contrast to the Jedi, who primarily use blue and green lightsabers, among other colors, the average color for a Sith lightsaber is red. Like the Jedi, the traditional weapon of the Sith is the lightsaber, a device which generates a blade-like plasma powered by a Kyber crystal and using modulation circuits and an energy gate or other focusing systems. This kraterocratic system ensures that Sith society nurtures some of the most vicious and competitive individuals in the galaxy and is only governed by those strong enough to seize control. Sith teach their apprentices to revere the dark side of the Force and to believe that the galaxy was theirs to rule by cosmic right. Robberies, betrayal, and sabotage are commonplace murder is acceptable so long as the culprit is not caught. Sith culture is of perpetual self-destruction and reinvention transfer of power is conducted through state-sanctioned assassinations: when a Sith Lord grows complacent and exhibits weakness, they are eventually killed, wherein their property and authority transferred to the apprentice who killed them. Sith are ruthless and totalitarian by design, in which a supreme autocratic authority is concentrated in a single individual granted the honorific Dark Lord of the Sith. The various antagonistic factions in the franchise, namely the Separatist Alliance, the First Galactic Empire, the Imperial Remnant and the First Order, all originated, either directly or indirectly, from the Sith. The Sith Order are depicted as an ancient monastic and kraterocratic cultist organization of supernaturally gifted Force-wielders driven by a machiavellian- imperialist agenda of galactic domination and revenge against the Jedi Order. They are the antithesis and ancient enemies of the Jedi.
The Sith are the main antagonists of many works in the fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise.
