50 free The Sith trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
George Lucas first imagined the Sith as a fanatical army serving the Emperor, then boiled them down to one man in a black mask. The Sith of the films are a conspiracy of exactly two, a master and an apprentice who will one day murder him, hiding for a thousand years after a battle that nearly wiped them out. Their code opens by calling peace a lie. These 50 questions cover the order rather than any single Sith. The easy tier covers red blades, Maul, Dooku and Vader's Force choke. The middle asks why a kyber crystal bleeds, what a Sith's yellow eyes mean, who rescued Maul from a junk planet, what species Plagueis was and which Sith sculpted before he murdered. The expert tier reaches for Ruusan, Ajunta Pall, Naga Sadow, the Star Forge, the Doctrine of the Dyad, Xyston-class destroyers and a clone named Luuke. Every answer is cited to a page we checked and comes with a short explanation so you learn something on a miss. Play it alone or print it for a Star Wars night. Peace is a lie; there is only trivia.
