The most prominent example of a Sith who wasn't purely evil, primarily in the Star Wars Legends continuity, is Darth Vectivus, a businessman-turned-Sith who used the dark side for personal gain and prosperity without causing galactic war, dying peacefully surrounded by family, though some question if he truly existed or was a tale told by Lumiya. Another figure often discussed is Darth Marr, a pragmatic Sith Lord from the Old Republic who allied with Jedi when necessary, but Darth Vectivus is the closest to a truly "non-evil" Sith.
Darth Vectivus was created by Aaron Allston for the first novel of the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series, Legacy of the Force: Betrayal. He appeared as a spirit to Nelani Dinn and served as a platform for Lumiya to convince Jacen Solo to become Darth Caedus by showing him that not all Sith were necessarily evil.
Darth Vectivus is an interesting example of a Sith who had actions considered "good" he also died of old age which is quite unusual for a Sith. Vectivus is only mentioned to us by Lumiya, who was trying to manipulate Jacen to the dark side, so he may not have even existed.
Darth Vectivus. He basically got all the power he wanted and then retired to live with his family and friends and died peacefully, none of the Sith backstabbing. Vergere is potentially another (although I'm still pissed at the retcon of her being Sith).
Darth Maul is the weakest. Bane was strong : he killed all the Sith and lots of Jedi.
Luke's discipline and commitment to the Jedi way make him more powerful than Anakin in their primes.
Palpatine was always 100% evil, he had no nobel goals or redeeming qualities. His quest for ultimate power and plan to establish a totalitarian regime begun long before he found out about the Vong's existance.
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
Chastened by his former Master on the principle of the Rule of Two, Maul abandoned his claim to the mantle of the Sith, focusing instead on building an empire of his own—the Crimson Dawn—by controlling the criminal underworld.
As a Sith Marauder in the Great Sith War, Sion fought for Exar Kun's Sith Empire until the day he was struck down. Rather than die, though, Sion found that by calling on his pain, anger, and hatred, he could rise from certain death and achieve immortality, at the cost of all-consuming agony.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
Surik, Marr and Mandalore confronted and killed Nihilus on the bridge, after which the group left the Ravager just before it exploded.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
Snoke and his many copies were not a clone of any known individual the way the Clone Army soldiers were modified copies of Jango Fett. Nor was he a one-for-one recreation of a previous body like Palpatine's clone body. Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr.
The canon answer is that yes, Vader is much stronger than Anakin ever was. But he also is much less strong than what suitless Anakin would have become. He lost his potential, so to speak, but still became much more powerful.
