Sith Teachings The teachings of the Sith are a pathway to great power through the Dark Side of the Force. While the Sith Lord risks much, he or she also gains access to tremendous supernatural abilities. Unfettered by reserve and utterly committed to power, the wisdom of the Sith is at times egocentric, fascist, deterministic, and occasionally paradoxical, especially in regard to love and passion. This page collects Sith teachings from canonical Star Wars sources, and may grow over time through user or editor contributions.  Order is Supreme "Yoda had once told him that fear led to hate and hate led to suffering. But Yoda had been wrong. Fear was a tool used by the strong to cow the weak. Hate was the font of true strength. Suffering was not the result of the rule of the strong over the weak, order was. By its very existence, the Force mandated the rule of the strong over the weak; the Force mandated order." -Pondering of Darth Vader, Star Wars...

IGN Slams the Haters “Yes, there’s no space battles, no prequel content, and no single-player campaign, but we’re not worried yet.” Fans are pretty upset that IGN seems to be backing Star Wars Battlefront and they slam the haters in this video, giving their opinions and stating they they are not worried about the game. They read some “demands” from fans who are already expecting specific things from the game and complaining about things that have not happened yet. Of course, some fans don’t side with IGN on this one and claim that IGN is just being paid off by EA/DICE. Paid to have an opinion? Hmm… unheard of in journalism! *sarcasm* That said, it doesn’t mean they are paid fanboys. Maybe they just like the idea of the game. They do have some good points, even if you don’t agree with the overall positivity. For example, they talk about the difference in games as a form of media compared to other media items like movies or books. They also make some good points about how E...

SWTOR Gree Event extended by one week due to Conquest issues BioWare will be extending the Gree event time and, repeat the Gree Conquest next week. This is due to some bugs causing the Gree Conquest issue to end early. Relics of the Gree Conquest Issue  Hey folks, I wanted to give you an update on the Conquest issue from this morning. What we learned is that there was an error in the timing associated with the Relics of the Gree Conquest event. During this week the Relics Conquest event will end early, based on the in-game timer, on Thursday. This was not intended and so we are going to make a few adjustments to correct this. These changes will require a maintenance, which will happen later this week. We are going to extend the Gree event by another week! It will now end on Tuesday, May 26th. The Relics of the Gree Conquest event will run again next week, this way Guilds will be able to run it fully! Bounty Contract Week will be pushed out one week and will run f...
