In Star Wars’ original future, the new version of the Sith all had tattoos like Darth Maul’s, but these tattoos had a very different origin.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars’ future Sith sport tattoos similar to Darth Maul’s, but one even further dark future showed a horrific vision of Darth Vader’s descendant with his own Sith tattoos.
Star Wars: Legacy, set in the pre-Disney acquisition Legends canon, introduces the One Sith, the future version of the Sith who have abandoned the Rule of Two. The One Sith have instead adopted a Rule of One, in which thousands of Sith all serve a single dictator in Darth Krayt. These Sith prominently use tattoos to denote their allegiance, inspired by both Krayt’s and potentially those of older Sith like Darth Maul. It’s this Sith-controlled galaxy that former Jedi Cade Skywalker finds himself in after the murder of the Jedi Order as he’s torn between the legacy of his famous family and the temptation offered by the Sith.
One of the most interesting things about Sith tattoos is that they’re an expression of Sith culture. What both the pre- and post-Rule of Two Sith demonstrate is that the Sith are more than simply Dark Side adherents; they’re a people with shared traditions and customs, of which tattoos are only one facet. In fact, the Sith were originally a literal species originating from the planet of Korriban.
The One Sith's Tattoos have a Surprising Origin It’s also worth asking where Darth Krayt’s tattoos originate. Krayt’s tattoos aren’t in fact Sith at all. Krayt, aka former Jedi A’Sharad Hett, is an ethnic Tusken Raider, and it’s this culture that his tattoos come from. Part of the One Sith’s cultural legacy then comes from the Tusken Raiders. Similarly, Darth Maul’s tattoos aren’t of specific Sith origin, but are part of his Nightbrother and Dathomirian heritage.
