Experienced Jedi Can Always Sense A Sith
In the Legends continuity’sJedi Apprenticebooks , one of Qui - Gon Jinn ’s protégés , Xanatos , fell to the dark side and left the Jedi Order before being knight . Xanatos became an unaffiliated yet hefty and highly - skilled dingy side user who trade in his Jedi robes and blue lightsaber crystal for sinister robes and a ruby-red synthetic crystal . Xanatos was super skilled in multiple field oflightsaber combatand was an adept Force - substance abuser who only grew stronger upon fall to the dark side . Despite all of this , neither his former mentor Qui - Gon nor the Jedi Order writ large mistook him for a Sith Lord .
In the legend timeline , Sith create synth - watch crystal to give their lightsabers their touch blood-red blade . In the modern canyon , Sith corrupted kyber crystals with the dark side , twist them red .
In the modernStar Warscanon , the coming television set seriesThe Acolytemay haveHigh Republic - eraJedi brush Sith before the events ofThe Phantom Menace . Of course , all Jedi who encounter Sith may die before they can report their findings to the relief of the Jedi Order or the blue side users they run into may simply not be Sith – perhaps belonging to another dark side custom or simply being unaffiliated . If Jedi encounter genuineSith Lordsbefore the events ofThe Phantom Menace – and survive – there is still a way to annul contradicting the prequel trilogy .

What divide Qui - Gon ’s battle with Xanatos and the potential Jedi and Sith brush inThe Acolyteare what the Jedi sense during these fundamental interaction . Sith are far more powerful than unaffiliated dark side - user , and they can mask their front in the Force . Maul would read differently from Xanatos in the Force and - more importantly - Maulwantedthe Jedi to know the Sith were back . Qui - Gon may never have confront a Sith Lord before the duel on Tatooine , buthe surely feel the unique and macabre presence of the Sith when battling Maul .
Darth Maul’s Skill Made It Clear He Was A Sith
Darth Bane ’s lineage turn substantial with each fresh generation , with Darth Sidious being arguably the extragalactic nebula ’s most brawny Dark Lord and his Sith prentice being among the most sinewy . In the modernistic canyon and – even more so – the Legends continuity , Darth Maul was not a typical Sith Lord . While he formally held the title of respect of Dark Lord of the Sith , his training and expertness had a far hard focal point on scrap than leading and use . Along with serving his victor , Maul ’s ultimate purpose was to vote out Jedi , making him a undercut above any scourge Qui - Gon had faced before .
Moreover , Darth Maul encountered and killed Jedi before the consequence ofThe Phantom Menace . In the Legends persistence , Darth Maul ’s first slaying with his signature double - bladed lightsaber was Jedi Master Siolo Ur Manka . The modernStar Warscanon implies that nearly all Sith in Darth Bane ’s lineage have killed Jedi to appropriate theirred lightsabers ' kyber crystals . More than his Sith robe and Sith lightsaber , the sheer malice and power of Darth Maul , fuse with his goal of discover the Sith ’s survival to the Jedi , are likely what chair Qui - Gon to his conclusion inThe Phantom Menace .
