There is , of course , still a luck that the Sith Lord ofThe Acolyteisn’t Tenebrous , though . There have been theory that the Sith Lord could come up from a all freestanding line of Sith schoolmaster and apprentice , and thus be an wholly fresh character . tenebrious is also barely involved inStar Warscanon , and while Headland has consistently show how much regard she has for legend , there ’s nothing observe her from make believe a retcon to include a new Sith Lord . If she did resolve to follow the Expanded Universe ’s lead , though , Darth Tenebrous could easily appear inThe Acolyte .

Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Return of the Jedi

The senator for Naboo, Palpatine rose to power and influence during the dying days of the Republic. In reality, his public persona was just a mask; he was really Darth Sidious, greatest of the Sith Lords, and he used his political skills and Machiavellian cunning to bring down both the Republic and the Jedi. Palpatine ruled his Galactic Empire for decades, until he was betrayed by his apprentice, Darth Vader. Even this wasn’t enough to stop the Emperor, however, as he was resurrected by his followers - only to be defeated once again.
