Dark Jedi/Legends

"Beware, Jedi Master, lest through carelessness and inattention you loose on the Galaxy a monster..."

- Bodo Baas

Dark Jedi were Jedi who chose to deny the light side of the Force and follow the dark side of the Force. Among the Dark Jedi, Xendor is believed to be one of the very first ever exist in galactic history.

Dark Jedi were not the same as the Sith, though the very first group were the predecessors of the Dark Lords in the Sith Empire. Despite the fact that both groups call upon the dark side of the Force, the Sith have their own codes and history, study their own skills, techniques and secrets. Many dark side practitioner, such as Count Dooku, considered that a Dark Jedi is nothing compared to the power of the Sith. Some, such as Darth Vader, practiced both Dark Jedi and Sith techniques.

While Jedi were capable of falling to the dark side, it was also possible for a Dark Jedi to be redeemed in the light, as Luke Skywalker helped Kam Solusar to do.
