I dunnoā¦ maybe. I donāt really know all of the Star Wars backstory because I havenāt seen all of the Clone Wars series or the latest movies. I am a fan and Iām aware that the Jedi were quite unethical in many ways. Although Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars was (in Obi-Wans words on the Mustafar system) āpure evil!!ā lol. Not all characters who joined the dark side were inherently evil (but like the Jedi, did some evil/bad things that would be considered evil to many people) like most people thought because not just Anakin Skywalker but General Grievous and Count Dooku (Qui-Gon Jinnās master) too used to be good.
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious eventually either lied to them or betrayed all three of them in the end because they were all just pawns in his ultimate plan for domination. Even General Grievous knew/found out right at the end in that scene (he was the last minion left after Dooku was executed earlier in the SWROTS movie) when he faced off with Obi-Wan Kenobi that he was going to do die anyways whether Obi-Wan wins against him or not because Grievous and Dooku knew too much of Darth Sidiousās plan with the death of the Jedi, Anakinās turn to the dark side and āOrder 66ā. Grievous didnāt care anyways and was sadistically amused by it (as he always is) since the Jedi were going to be soon eradicated and no longer exist which is what he always wanted because he deeply hated them.
General Grievous developed a deep hatred for the Jedi after the mass murders they committed towards his own people during a war. He was later critically wounded in battle where his spacecraft crashed. Count Dooku found him and told him the Jedi were to blame which fuelled his anger and blame even more for the Jedi. Dooku had him reconstructed back together but in to a cyborg/transhuman robot. Grievous seeked revenge under Count Dookuās wing as a Sith apprentice and joined the dark side.
Count Dooku turned renegade against the Jedi Council. He lost faith after becoming angry or extremely agitated with their high level of political corruption, poor regulations and failures to protect and keep peace in the galaxy. He find out Palpatine was the infamous Darth Sidious and joined the dark side after Sidious brainwashed him with an alternative to the Jedi way
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and Darth Plagueis were similar in their ambitionsā¦ they wanted immorality but Anakin was motivated by fear, whereas Darth Plagueis was psychopathic, selfish and hellbent in his endeavours.
Darth Maul was spiritual, had a deep connection with nature and the forest he use to visit nearby his house way before he was a Sith Lord. Although his mother was a close ally of Darth Sidious/Emperor and she abandoned Maul when he was a child by giving him away to Darth Sidious. This is where he was put through all kinds of brutal domestic abuse and emotional manipulation throughout his childhood which severely scarred him in to adulthood. Eventually Maul grew up to resent and develop a deep hatred for his mother and he channelled this in to the dark side for Sidiousās benefit.
Anger, fear, aggression and hate are the domain of evil according to the Jedi which I donāt believe is true. I think selfishness, dark triad and ignorance are the root to all evil.
