The Sith styled themselves as Sith Lords or Dark Lords of the Sith. Darth Sidious and his first two apprentices, Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus, were all addressed to as "Lord".[4][5] "Lord Vader" was the typical form of address by Imperial personnel, including Imperial officers and stormtroopers, for the Emperor's right-hand, Darth Vader.[1] Vader was also a military commander[6] who was elevated to the new position of supreme commander of the Imperial fleet.[7]

General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Droid Army,[8] was addressed to as "my lord" by members of the Confederacy military, such as the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress[9] and TV-94.[10] Another Separatist leader who was referred to by the title was Poggle the Lesser,[11] Archduke of Geonosis.[12]

Many Imperial higher-ups and affiliates were referred to as "Lord," as with Grand Vizier Mas Amedda,[13] Tion, a high-ranking member of the Imperial Navy.[14] It was also a term of deference for counts,[15][16] and "my lord" was also used by the Great Mothers to address their ally, Grand Admiral Thrawn.[17]
