But joining the dark side is equivalent to becoming a Sith; that's what crossing over to the dark side means.

So, does this mean the dark side didn't exist until the Sith did?

Am I the only one who hates how everyone who turns to the dark side joins the Sith? It makes absolutely no sense to me. You don't switch sides upon becoming a bad person.

How is that everyone? That is most definitely not true for the EU sources I like.

For example in JK2 there is no Sith at all. In JKA, if you choose to turn your character to dark side you eliminate the dark side faction leaders and take thier power base for your own purpose.

In SWTOR, despite being heavily centred around Sith, you have many occasions when Jedi who trun to the dark side does not become Sith. In one instance there is a group of fallen Jedi who think current order is unfit and tries to take over and reform it. In another instance, if you have dark side alignment by the time your Jedi Knight character is to be promoted to Jedi Master, council refuses to grant you the promotion. Then a republic general gives you the rank of general in republic army instead, in a sense that the republic army does not care about the "Jedi crap" and just values competence.

Excellent posts. Thank you both.
