  During the time I hosted a old republic campaign, I had a Sith player who was named Darth Imperius. Unlike alot of my other sith players, he was eager to take on an apprentice, which he did by taking on two Sith students. When asked why, he said “it would be grand, to see students take on my knowledge, and strive to be greater than me. Power is excellent, but it doesn’t nourish all of the soul.”

  &apos;&apos;Would at least one of you join the dark side? Please, I&apos;m so lonely.&apos;&apos; - Emperor Palpatine.

  The whole apprentice thing never really plays out as the long term friendship that it seems like it should.

  That&apos;s why there&apos;s only ever been one &quot;Good Sith&quot; Darth Vectivus. He had a strict code of honor and principals to balance his dark powers. And when he died he wasn&apos;t alone, he had colleges and friends and probably a family. He was probably like Uncle Scrooge from Duck Tales, shrewd, manipulative and tactful, but he never crossed the line of being evil and cruel.

  Doesn’t that loneliness and other negative emotions give them Dark Power.

  The Sith try to substitute basic human needs like love and friendship with power and strength but that&apos;s not something any living thing can live off of. The Sith by their very nature are doomed to be forever alone.

  That makes sense. The Jedi can&apos;t let their emotions get to them, so they probably turned Sith to force themselves out of those emotional shackles so they can be with their loved ones

  I remember when reading a Star Wars Infinities book years ago, Vader was tasked with hunting down a Jedi known as the Dark Woman. He came to the garden where she tended plants and animals, even trying to preserve a flower that was designated the last of its kind. Vader was amazed by the beauty of the place, and even sought to gently touch the flower&apos;s petals. But when they exchanged their view on philosophy, Vader disagreed with preservation and instead believed the weak were meant to be replaced by the strong. <br><br>Though it was rare, Vader also displayed attributes that made him more easily liked amongst the Imperial military than elsewhere. From Legends continuity where he had devoted officers like Erv Lekauf to clone troopers like Appo, to even an entire alien species called the Noghri who devoted themselves to Vader and then devoted themselves to Leia after recognizing her as his daughter. Vader was always leading the way into battle; something the stormtroopers respected far more than the officers who ordered them into battle while high up in a Star Destroyer.

  Yes, the Dark Side DOES have cookies, but they&apos;re oatmeal raisin.
