The Dark Side of the Force

Star Wars Officially Name-Drops Darth Bane in Canon

Darth Bane in the Clone Wars was voiced by Mark Hamill

 

The Sith Creed (written by David Gaider for the Knights of the Old Republic video game) -

 

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The Force shall free me.

"Some things are stronger then blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny."

- Luke Skywalker to Rey

 

The late Jedi master Sifo-dyas was impersonated in a dark illusion force projection by Darth Sidious

A sith holocron can only be opened by using the dark side of the force

 

Do fallen Jedi's kyber crystals in their lightsaber 'bleed' or turn red  once they fall to the dark side, or do they just make a new one with a red  kyber crystal? -

Kyber crystals naturally have a color, usually blue or green, rarely yellow or purple

Bonus

The 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still gave us the iconic line of dialogue

"Gort, Klaatu, Barada, Nikto!"

 

That dialogue was referenced in Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness in the lines Ash fails to recall correctly

 

A lesser known easter egg is the lines inclusion as the names of three of Jabba's skiff guards
