Star Wars: 10 Things From Legends That Need To Be Made Canon
10. The Good Sith
Because of the way Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke of Darth Vader, many viewers assumed it was impossible for a Darksider to find their way back to the Light. However, there have been several Sith who learned the error of their ways and cast off the Dark Side.
One of the most interesting ex-Sith is Darth Gravid, who was first mentioned in James Luceno's novel, Darth Plagueis. 500 years ago, Gravid was the equivalent of Darth Sidious, ruling The Sith Empire with an iron fist. After witnessing the destructive side of his subjects time and time again, Gravid reasoned The Empire could be more unified if the Sith embraced some of the Jedi teachings.
But the more he researched the Jedi, the more convinced Gravid became that he was fighting on the wrong side. Turning against the same Empire he helped forge, Gravid destroyed countless Sith documents, artefacts, and holocrons. He tried to convince his apprentice, Darth Gean, to help him defeat the Sith but she refused. Although she managed to slay him in battle, Gravid was content, knowing he set back the Sith's plan for galactic rule by centuries.
