The Elusive Sith
For millennia, the galaxy has been embroiled in an ancient conflict between two powerful forces: the Sith and the Jedi. Despite the dwindling numbers of the Sith and the implementation of the Rule of Two, the Jedi were steadfast in their belief that the Sith were extinct. However, recent revelations have cast doubt on this long-held assumption, raising questions about the Sith's elusive presence within the Jedi Order.

The narrative of the Star Wars prequel trilogy has definitively proven the Jedi wrong in their belief of the Sith's extinction. The emergence of Darth Sidious and his manipulation of a fully-trained Jedi Master to join the dark side has shattered the Jedi's conviction. This raises the possibility that the Sith's ability to evade detection may have been due to their close proximity to the Jedi, hidden in plain sight.
