Grey Jedi91 says "This list is of the top 10 sith lords, it is very different from my other one and is much improved"
And who am I to disagree.
Here it is. Top ten Sith Lords.
I cant control my midi-chlorians any more. The anticipation levels are too much.
There hasn't been 10 Siths.

Sidious has to be the #1

Not only is he the most powerful but especially as he's always laughing and cackling in his evil deeds, he enjoys it so much, always making wise cracks and sharp put downs. He isn't bland, or tortured by the evil that envelopes him.

From the official script for Attack of the Clones:

JANGO I was recruited by a man called Darth Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden.

And:

OBI-WAN One more thing. Jango mentioned he was recruited by someone named Darth Tyranus. Any idea who that might be?

YODA With the forename Darth, a Sith he must be.

And:

COUNT DOOKU The Force is with us, my Master.

DARTH SIDIOUS Welcome home, Lord Tyranus. You have done well.

From the official script for Revenge of the Sith:

DARTH SlDIOUS: His death was a necessary loss, which will ensure our victory. Soon I will have a new apprentice . . . one far younger and more powerful than Lord Tyranus

SPOILERS!

Not sure how they can explain an Uber driver being in Star Wars.
Btw, I have a feeling Ren will be very popular after this movie, maybe on the same level as Vader -- in terms of badass character one roots for, not in the sense of cultural affect and standing as an all-time movie villain. But many Vader lovers will have got turned off by the way Lucas fleshed him out in the prequels, and Ren will become "a new hope" so to speak. Vader was awesome until Lucas fleshed him out in the prequels, made the entire character less likable. Whereas Ren, and his humble beginnings, will re-ignite that similar story arc -- of a rags to riches story.

Never trust a jedi. Particularly with the name Grey Jedi91. Seems to have EU knowledge tho.
But maybe there is a chance that an unseen sith from the youtube may make the cut in the movie?
Or will we just get brand new siths like Kylo?
I dont care. Just sith me up.

And he has the power to manipulate powerful jedi minds like GreyJedi91 into only putting him in second place on the sith list to avoid the spotlight of being number 1 sith.
Thats the kinda stuff only the top siths are capable of.

If I recall correctly, Jango only referred to him as 'Tyranus' in the final version of the film. Didn't say Darth at that time, but by the end we all knew he's a Sith.

That Obi-Wan/Yoda scene would've been good, to add more context. Could've delved a bit more into that whole Sifo-Dyas (spelling?) sub plot. That was never really explained in Episode 3 either.

Reminds me of this.



Cole Macgraths' weapon from Infamous.
What intrigued me in that TV spot was that the Stormtrooper looked like he/she was quite confident in using it. Must be a pretty common weapon they use, akin to a police batton.

The First Order look quite brutal.

i am quite happy with the supposed story/script rumours...

fans are upset about the sabre being found after all those years and how much importance it has in this film..

its actually a really clever way to bring back star wars..

I'm a LITTLE worried about the story itself. Well, certain parts of the rumored story. But I don't think it will be that bad viewed as a final media (film). Can seem worse when just read it in text form. Kind of like if you isolate lyrics from a song, they can read silly or not as powerful without the music and vocals behind them.

But one thing I am %100 sure of (prematurely) is that the visuals, hand to hand combat scenes, the aerial battle scenes, the dialogue, the acting, the cinematography, the costumes, new characters, the construct of the script as an unraveling tale of suspense, the whole light-vs-dark battles going on, given more 50:50 equality rather than just the good guys traipsing thru the bad guys like keystone cops, and finally, the emotion of the film, as Abrams has often emphasized was a focal point of this new SW era.....will all be so awesome that imo The Force Awakens has a very real opportunity to become THE most favorite of the 7 Star Wars films.

yeah, that's what i am hoping for as well. that it will do enough to be the best star wars because it has the advantage of modern day knowledge, movie making technology and the benefit of hindsight, all the experienced minds working on the film with the belief that they can deliver a great modern day star wars....

it can be done.

Nolan pulled it off with the Batman films, JJ can too.

Also having no Lucas dictator involved. But more people soundboarding off each other, etc. Lucas in the end couldn't see the forest from the trees.
But I reckon I'm confident it will be the best one yet.....it's new/modern, new characters to fall in love with....but also has the original characters in it....you can't go wrong with that!! It's a sure-fire formula. In that manner, Ep7 would probably be better than Ep8 and Ep9 from that perspective.

“The issue was, ultimately, they looked at the stories and they said, ‘We want to make something for the fans,’” he told CBS.
That, coupled with the fact Abrams just remade Wrath of Khan with the second Star Trek film, has me slightly worried.
