The Twelve Steps of Star Wars



I
I am a Farmer - Things Could Be Better :
"If there is a Bright Centre to The Universe, you are on The Planet it is Farthest From"

II
I Could Do That - But I Can't :
"Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan, I've gotta get home, it's late, I'm in for it as it is!

Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. 

It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now... 

It's all such a long way from here."

III
I am Going to Do That :
" I want to learn The Ways of The Force and Become 
a Jedi Like My Father "

IV
Ask Me Your Question Bridgekeeper, I am Not Afraid..!
"You Will Be... You Will Be..."


V
Confession is Good for The Soul
"I... I killed them. I killed them all. 

They're dead... every single one of them. 

And not just the men. 
But the women... and the children, too. 

They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals! 

I HATE THEM!!

I'm a Jedi. I can be better than this.

[ But you are not a Jedi yet...]

VI
Be Open to Change







"We'll take him together.."
"No, I'm taking him now!!"

VII
Ask for Punishment and Seek Correction 
"No. I  am Your Father"

VIII
Say Sorry.


"Noooooooooo...!!!"


IX
Make Direct Amends





"Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the Death of Me?"


X
Be Ever Mindful of Your Own Hypocrisy 
- Don't Cheat People







"There is No Civility, Only Politics."

XI
Strive to Attain a Permanant State of Sanctifying Grace
( Be Mindful of The Living Force )


"Strange that  I have not...."

XII
Take on an Apprentice and Together Begin to Recruit Disciples

"I look forward to beginning your training, My Young Apprentice."

Sith Lordship and Knighthood Under The Rule of Two



You only Become Sith by Killing a Sith - in Cold Blood.


Or trying to.


This Does Not However Mark the Start of Your Formal Training...

But you are now an Apprentice.

Whether you know it or not... 


Sith Knighthood and Apprenticeship Exists as a 
Progressive Series of Contracts 
Between Master and Applicant/Apprentice


From The Book of The Sith :

"Now that We have achieved Victory, and The Jedi are no more, I shall institute 

A Rule of One

I have no intention of training my Successor..."

- Darth Sideous


Then your successor must, by necessity, be entirely 
Self-Taught...
