George Lucas acknowledged that the Jedi, Sith, and other Force concepts have been inspired by many sources. Main articles: Star Wars sources and analogues and Star Wars В§В Themes The Sith were not mentioned by name in canonical movies until the prequel trilogy used the word on film starting with 1999's The Phantom Menace. However, the concept of 'Dark Jedi' is not referenced anywhere in any of the theatrical Star Wars films, and they exist by that name only in non-canonical Star Wars Legends media, including video games such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series. 'Dark Jedi' is also the name given in the Star Wars universe to antihero fictional characters attuned to the Force and adept in its dark side.

In his novel series The Thrawn Trilogy, author Timothy Zahn labeled Sith Lord Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine as 'Dark Jedi', and the term 'Sith' was never mentioned in the series until later reprints of the novels. The term 'Dark Jedi' was sometimes used for characters who would be later identified as Sith, or had goals and practices similar to the Sith.

Sith characters had also been portrayed as such in some Star Wars Legends works prior to the release of The Phantom Menace, and in archived footage for the original Star Wars. 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'. 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 begins to show weakness, they are eventually killed and their property and authority transferred to the apprentice who killed them. They 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. Sith deal in absolutes they view the world as 'either with them, or against them.' Sith are the most powerful and deadly practitioners of the dark side of the Force, given their intrinsic aptness for treachery, goals of galactic domination, and philosophical belief in personal freedom at all costs. The various villainous groups 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 their arch-rivals, the Jedi Order. The Sith are the main antagonists of many works in the fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise.
