Star Wars : The Acolyte

It is now canon, Ki-Adi-Mundi lied to the Jedi High Council. He knew, very well, that the Sith wasn't extinct. The possibility does now exist that he could have been reincarnated with the Thread.

This is even called out by Emergency Awesome. Wookieepedia is in a meltdown. Darth Disney better have a good explanation.

It is true though, Ki-Adi-Mundi’s age is legend, and not canon. It does not help the timeline.

Just bring Jar Jar Binks as a Sith lord, and I am all cool.

Star Wars is for everyone. You may not like everything that gets produced, but that does not give you the right to tell others they cannot enjoy it. Not every piece of media released will resonate with every fan, and that's okay. Enjoy what you enjoy.

If you like Star Wars, you are a Star Wars fan. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Like all media, Star Wars is constantly evolving and growing. As an encyclopedia of Star Wars knowledge, we update articles accordingly.

Evidently we need to say this a bit louder. Gatekeeping has no place in the Star Wars community. Period. If someone likes something you dislike, that's okay. You can have your own opinions, however that does not give you the right to diminish others.

Yikes. Sad to see the Star Wars community gutted like this, imploding into culture wars. Wookieepedia shouldn't be blocking constructive criticism...

Fun thing though, Ki-Adi-Mundi's age was canon, but Disney made it legend back in 2015 IIRC. It was published in the Topps trading card series in partnership with Lucas.

As I said, it doesn't help the timeline. They would either need to retcon the established timeline or add story or otherwise explainers. It was a creative decision to include Ki-Adi-Mundi, they must have an arc planned. There are still many episodes to go, I hope it all Threads together.
 
This show confirms Star Wars (Disney) is officially dead. I'm looking forward to the fan movies instead. With AI and SORA I think we might start to see the fans take the direction of Star Wars into their own hands.

Ah, I was wrong,


Oh, Ki-Adi-Mundi doesn't know...

Star Wars May Have Just Massively Retconned Sith History With One Line

Did The Acolyte just retcon Sith history?
screenrant.com screenrant.com

In Qimir’s speech to Master Sol in which he describes what he is, Qimir responds, “You might call me a Sith.” While this isn’t anything concrete, Qimir’s phrasing suggests that the term “Sith” doesn’t come from the dark side users, but the Jedi. Seeing as many of Qimir’s acts in The Acolyte episode 5 pointed out the hypocrisy of the Jedi and how the Jedi were the ones who created the rules, Qimir may just be putting what he is on a field that Sol and other Jedi can understand.

While this is only a hint, this theory may have some merit. Although Qimir’s statement could suggest that he isn’t a true Sith like so many have theorized, it’s possible that the term “Sith” is a catch-all term that the Jedi applied to any dark-side user. Qimir may not identify with the term Sith, and would instead consider himself part of a different order.

...

With a history of Jedi creating derogatory terms for dark side users, it’s not too much of a leap to consider that Sith was itself a derogatory term used by Jedi to describe their enemies.

It’s possible that the term Sith started as a derogatory term used by the Jedi when it came to dark side users. The Sith could’ve over time reclaimed the word and then used it for the name of their order, possibly to mock the Jedi. While there’s not much evidence for this, details regarding the origin of the word “Sith” may be revealed in later episodes of The Acolyte, or even in James Mangold’s upcoming Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi movie.

It's no surprise that the Empire strikes back.
Anyhow:

If the Sith were being oppressed by the Jedi, it’s possible that the only reason there is such strife between the dark and light sides of the Force could be because the light sought to overcome and dominate the darkness. It’s hard to come to the defense of the Sith, especially knowing all the horrible things they’ve done in Star Wars and most recently in The Acolyte episode 5. If this theory is correct, however, it adds a whole new level of complexity to the conflict between the light and dark sides of the Force.

It will be interesting to see how Disney will now handle the Jedi-Sith War, which is still canon. Ren, Sith, what was, what is now. They sure are expanding beyond the dark and light side.
