Sith and Jedi Origins: Myth or Reality?

In the vast expanse of the Star Wars universe, the Sith Order and the Jedi Order are two of the most influential and intriguing factions. Their origins on Korriban and the ancient world of Dathomir have sparked numerous debates among fans and scholars alike. However, within the context of the Star Wars universe, the original Sith and Jedi did not originate from another galaxy, but rather from the Main Galaxy. This article delves into the origins of these legendary orders and explores the possibility of parallel or distant galaxies hosting similar forces.

Origins of the Sith Order

The Sith Order was founded on the planet Korriban, where the Sith species originally came from. The story begins with a rogue Jedi, who discovered the power of the dark side by interbreeding with native species and undergoing genetic manipulation over generations. This process created a hybrid race that formed the foundation of the Sith Order.

The original Sith Order was established as a sect of the Jedi religion, founded by a rogue Jedi who believed that true power lied in the dark side. The Sith species welcomed this individual as a demigod, and thus, the Sith Order was born.

Origins of the Jedi Order

The Jedi Order, on the other hand, has a much longer history and a more complex origin story. Founded on the planet Ahch-To, the Jedi Order spread across numerous worlds within the galaxy, including Coruscant and Tython. The original Jedi Order built temples and outposts on various planets, establishing themselves as protectors of peace and justice.

The Dathomirian Nightsisters

The Nightsisters, an ancient and powerful faction of witches on the dark side planet of Dathomir, have a unique origin story. The first Nightsisters were trained by a female Jedi, Allya, who was exiled to Dathomir. Allya trained other women in the ways of the Force, leading to the creation of the Dathomirians and, eventually, the Nightsisters.

Initially, the Nightsisters were a peaceful tribe, living in harmony with their planet. However, over time, to protect their home from various invaders, they began to adapt their spells, which initially helped plants and animals thrive, into dark magic incantations. This transformation involved interbreeding with the Nightbrothers, descendants of Zabrak exiles who immigrated to Dathomir.

Origins of the Dathomirians and Nightsisters

The Dathomirians did indeed originate from an extragalactic planet known as Peridea, which is located in the Far Galaxy. However, upon arriving on Dathomir, they underwent significant genetic and magical changes, transforming into the Nightsisters as we know them today. This process included interbreeding with the Nightbrothers and genetic manipulation.

The Nightsisters and the Nightbrothers had a complex relationship, with the Nightsisters dominating and treating the Nightbrothers harshly. The Nightsisters believed that their cruel treatment was necessary to maintain control over the Nightbrothers, who had a higher tolerance for pain.

Possibility of Another Jedi or Sith Order

Given the vastness of the Star Wars universe, it is not surprising that the Jedi and Sith Orders might have traveled to other galaxies. However, the remnants of these orders in distant galaxies would likely be the same original Orders, just existing in different time periods or under different leadership.

Therefore, while the possibility of another Jedi or Sith Order existing in another galaxy cannot be entirely ruled out, it is highly unlikely. The known Sith and Jedi Orders from the Main Galaxy were powerful and influential forces, and any similar sects in other galaxies would likely be the same Order, just at a different stage of their development or in a different universe of their own.
