6 Star Wars Villains Who Were All But Sith (& Why They Weren’t)

Some Star Wars villains are Sith in everything but name, which reveals that each Star Wars era approaches its villains differently. There were only two Force-sensitive villains in the original Star Wars trilogy, the Emperor and Darth Vader. However, the word Sith is never used during the first three Star Wars movies. Instead, it was only in the prequels that the dark side of the Force became synonymous with the Sith. Since then, the Sith have been part of several Star Wars stories, yet the saga is often finding replacements for the Jedi’s arch-nemeses.
