The actual teachings of the Jedi and the Sith can be found in The Jedi Path and Book of the Sith. The two are considered Legends, but both are great in character books of what each organization thought of their respective teachings.

Googling the answer to this question can lead to a lot of opinions; I mainly find information about the Jedi Code and being 'emotionless' (wrong) and how the Sith are good guys, so I would try and avoid that stuff if you want to form your own opinion on both.

Watching the Clone Wars in the later seasons can give you a good idea on the Sith Code. [A training scene between Dooku and Savage Opress has a great example of that type of training.] (https://youtu.be/7bYqIksEOek)

An interesting thing about the Sith Code is that it was created for KOTOR and basically a reverse of the Jedi Code. The writer of Korriban and the Sith said this in an interview about the Code/Philosophy:

> Korriban was the only actual planet I wrote (though I contributed to sections of Kashyyk and Tatooine). Was tough, too, as it went through a couple of overhauls before we finally settled on how it needed to work. Doing the Sith wasn’t easy, either, as there wasn’t a lot of lore on them— not as a group. I remember asking what their philosophy was, or if they had a code like the Jedi, but ended up being told to write it myself.
So, yeah. That’s where the Code of the Sith came from (reverse the Jedi Code— done!). And the Sith philosophy (at least what I wrote of it for Korriban) was inspired by Mein Kampf at least in parts (which made the forumites who talked about how awesome it was, and how it made sense, one part hilarious and one part frightening).

I enjoy both sides from the story standpoints; I enjoy the Sith as a group of really evil, selfish dudes who want power and will do anything for the freedom of using that power. They are not held back because there is no one above them to hold them back, they've taken out everyone that could hold them back.

The Jedi believe their powers are not to be used for selfish reasons. They will have freedom when they pass away and become one with the Force. They have magical abilities that they use to help others and know that strong emotions can lead to them abusing those powers, so they learn control.

Holy...fucking...shit.

I never knew this book existed. I have to have it.

Oh here is the cheaper version,
http://www.amazon.com/Jedi-Path-Star-Daniel-Wallace/dp/1452102279/ref=pd_sim_b_3/189-0894191-9537604

No awesome case though.

I've had it for a while, but only just started reading it. I would imagine this book goes into that quite a bit.

US link - also comes in Sith and Bounty Hunter flavours, not got them though.

u/Avarielle · 3 pointsr/swtor

This is also not SWTOR per-se, but is a a super-cool gift for any Star Wars fan: Book of Sith Vault or The Jedi Path.

A couple things to note:
A trial could be pre-arranged by the council or just happen by accident and someone says it works.
Trial of Skill could be any difficult or near impossible task. If I recall correctly Obi-Wan passed this by defeating a Sith lord (Maul) while still being a Padawan.
Trial of Flesh dosent have to be physical. Experiencing any great trauma coping well could count. Death of a master or even your aunt and uncle who raised you could work.

And even if a trial is designed for one of these it could be used for another or multiple trials if passed in a way you didn't expect. There's an anecdote of 3 padawans that were made to fight dozens of opponents in a row. The first fought for hours before collapsing from exhaustion and awoke to the news he had passed the trial of Skill. The second faced a few before realizing they were illusions and after dispelling them, passed the trial of Insight. The third believing victory was impossible surrendered and was removed from the order.


Edit: my source for the anecdote, The Jedi path page 103.

The Jedi Path is probably exactly what you're looking for.

u/lewdazn · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

First off, BEST CONTEST EVER! Just thought I'd say that.

I'm not sure what the limit is but if I can get THIS MY LIFE WOULD BE COMPLETE

But this or this would be just as good :)

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/StarWars

They are guides to becoming a Jedi or Sith. They are meant to look like real training manuals, with notes written on the pages. You can look at some of the pages on the amazon page. They are pretty cool books with fun information.

Darth Plaguis is a very good book about Darths Tenebrous, Plagueis and Sidious. It's one of my favourite SW books. Not so much Jedi stuff in it, but very interesting and just plain fun.


There's also the Book of Sith and the Path of the Jedi. They read more or less like a handbook for the Jedi and (less so) the Sith. I just bought them, and they're pretty interesting. Legends, of course, but still nice. There's 'handwritten' notes in the margin by lots of movie characters.

Just looking at it on Amazon - can you tell me why page 15 is completely redacted? here. But yeah, the annotations make it totally worth getting :). Think I might.

u/travelersoul · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

for your first brother

for your second brotheror maybe

u/LionoftheNorth · 1 pointr/StarWars

If you like it, you should look into The Jedi Path and The Bounty Hunter Code by the same author.

u/pascha · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Congratulations and Viva Las Vegas!!!

My son was born January 19th! He must be trained in the Force

I have two daughters, but this is my only son! Actually, we had so much trouble having a second, we adopted a newborn, little girl. Of course, my wife got pregnant 4 months after she was born.

u/DioTheory · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

You should get yourself this otterbox to protect that fancy phone!

And for me, this amazing anime! :D

Your item is a little over, and mine's a little under, but I feel like you should be spending at least a tad bit more on yourself!

EDIT:: Oh, something not on your wishlist?? Um... Gimme a minute then. XD

EDIT2:: Okay, you definitely need to get yourself this book and these chopsticks. Together, they should be about the right price. :p

The Jedi Path

The Book of Sith

Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide To The Force

None of these are novels, but they sound exactly like what you're looking for. The Jedi Path is an "authentic" training manual and journal written by Jedi Masters and annotated by the more popular Jedi. I assume the Book of Sith is the same thing. Jedi vs. Sith is like all the other Essential Guides out there, just a big reference manual. It's really neat.

The Darth Bane trilogy deals with Sith and their philosophy.

The New Jedi Order series (22 books) deals with an extragalactic species who cannot be sensed in the force, so a lot of the series deals with how the Jedi have to deal with that. It's really good, but it took me almost four years to finish that series.

May the force be with you

I see you have a lightsaber or two in your collection, an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. If you wish to become a Jedi, this will start you on your path. It has served me well for a while.

A lot of my Star Wars stuff is over $10, but I do have a Jedi Order laptop decal on my wishlist that would make a nice addition.

I think I made it! I'd like to get this book for my friend or maybe an e-gift card to Chilis or Macaroni Grill so my sister and I can grab a nice dinner when she comes home from college. Or stamps. Mailing random fun things to Redditors seems so fun!

u/psykulor · 1 pointr/pics

That's definitely a reductive view of Sith and Jedi, but it could be argued that the Old Republic-era Jedi Order had become too political, and had ceased to really represent the Force as a whole. By Episode 2, we have Jedi openly commanding military forces in a regular capacity - something of a failure in the feel of balance and pacifism.

You're right about the Sith being different - if you read Path of Jedi and Book of Sith, they basically have completely opposite philosophies on what the Force is, how to use it, and pretty much everything else.

I've seen this in book stores a few times, it seems pretty cool. A Jedi training manual. It's sold out on amazon, so it must be worth it.
