"By the immortal gods of the Sith!"
―Darth Vader[1]

The immortal gods of the Sith were a pantheon of deities worshipped by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. During the Galactic Civil War, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, Vader swore by them during the Battle of Yavin, when his advanced starfighter got knocked out of the Death Star battle station's trench.[1]

Behind the scenes

The immortal gods of the Sith were mentioned in the sixth issue of the comic series Star Wars, which is an adaptation of the original Star Wars film. The issue was written by Roy Thomas and published by Marvel Comics[1] on September 13, 1977.[2] The 2011 reference book Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side introduced several deities worshipped by the original Sith species. The Dark Jedi Ajunta Pall was associated with Typhojem, the Left-Handed God, and the Sith kings—also known as Sith'ari—were also viewed as demigods.[3] Additionally, Darth Andeddu was also referred to as the "Immortal God-King of Prakith" in Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, a 2009 novel written by Drew Karpyshyn.[4]
