Ok so throughout SW we see that the Sith use the dark side to further their own ends through the use of the primal emotions of fear, passion, lust, etc. They created monstrosities of nature and slaughtered millions, but only in KOTOR 2 do we actually see something akin to the nuanced ideology they follow.

So my question is this, if the dark side triumphs when theres fear involved, is there any chance that someone could make a star wars-themed horror piece of literature or movie or whatever? Im thinking of the horror genre like paranormal activity and the like, not retarded dark side zombies and shit like that. The Sith are supposed to represent the truly corrupted version of the force, so what about the force being used in the same sort of way that we see ghosts and demons in say, Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist, Blair Witch Project, The Conjuring, etc? (not saying that any of these were of any particular worth)

Im just tired of the Sith used as dumb, in your face, brutes instead of the nuanced assholes they were in KOTOR 2.

Any thoughts? Im just looking for more deep narrative in this bitch, not the standard that has been worked with in the past

The best way to describe ultimate end goals would be:

>Jedi Utopia, Everything is peace and harmony, everything is natural and all is at peace, hell you don't even need medicine it's a perfect world where everybody shares and loves one another and is just in compliance with the force.

>Sith Utopia is Might is Right, in which you uncover the secrets of the universe and truly strive to see what the true potential of the universe is, to push power beyond fathomable reaches, to see just how far man can go because they can, to learn all there is to know and to find that knowledge and power at any cost.

One may sound more evil than the other, but that's subjective. Anyway, to answer your question I actually ran a horror campaign on Edge of the Empire that was pretty fun and have been considering writing it down.

Essentially, the players discovered that the planet they were exploring was sentient, but not in the way they think, it was the 'egg' of a lovecraftian horror who spoke true sith placed there and nurtured by sith alchemy. Essentially everybody on the planet killed themself by letting it feed off their force energy and it became a collective conciousness, a hive in a single body with the memories, ambitions and feelings of all it absorbs but the thing is that all of these signs point to true nihilism for it, the conclusion it has come across is that the only way to end suffering all together is to end the known universe.

Vagina teeth looking things, Lovecraft monsters exist but we did this bit where if you used the force on the planet it would absorb it and your body would deteriorate slightly due to the Dark Side being more about what happens in the next life and thus making you more ethereal as you use it. So the corruption would cause you pain but the more you used it the more your spirit got 'used' to it and you would gain a bonus to your stats whilst losing health.

Our min maxer fell for the trap and he decided "LOL, I'll put my life down to 1 and get a shit load of perma-buffs!" and so when he did his body was basically a Ghoul from fall out as his body was dying as the spirit was trying to leave, he healed the next day and did it again until he became a Sith Spirit which had no tangibility as it would be a person without rules or confinement, a raw version of himself without morale leaning ie; the individual not the person if you've read Evola which on any other planet would be 'perfect' to a sith but, y'know, got absorbed.

That's all I'll say for now, If you want to know more I can greentext the whole rp sesh

Party was pic related.

Boastful and Arrogant Cathar Dark Jedi named Mandis Cy'ruut

Stronk Womyn FemTrooper who was raised Mando'a, (Mandis's gf irl) named Limyu Ordo

ArcTrooper who was still a clone (aged) named D'jango Fett

Whacky Sniper who was a Zabrak named Cassisus Ono

No nonsense Imperial (Krayt's Empire equiv) Chiss named Taran Urland (in joke)

Setting was:

Legacy era, Krayt's Empire sent a stormtrooper platoon to answer a call from a wounded Jedi Master and the group was sent to hunt it down.

>Guys land on the planet

>Give them a run down of the planet, very much a nice city like dantooine

>They go and find a city and it's completely baron

>No reason or rhyme, all buildings in tact, everything looks cleaned up apart from growing foilage

>Maintenance droids are zipping around cleaning

>No idea how this happened the group goes and explores trying to get a track on the signal

>Sadly, gadgetry seems to not be working whilst in the city, blasters and even tracking devices instant shut down, only outside do they work

>Cathar orders the troopers to take point and set camp as he takes the Chiss back to ship to gather certain things.

>The troopers explore and find that literally everything is gone

>Sundown comes and Zabrak troop hears whispering telling him to come outside

>It's his wife and child standing there and smiling to him beaconing to come play

>He agrees, obviously and decides to follow them into an old building

>FemTroop wakes up and sees Zabrak leaving, follows him.

>Zabrak Scout troop believes he is at home and all is well

>FemTroop looks in and sees he is literally kissing a large leech or lamprey like creature with tentacles out the wazoo while a smaller on is draining blood from his neck

>Zabrak has gone super pale and is giddy, invites FemTroop in, FemTroop tries to convince him it's something else, he won't have it

>She raises her blaster

>Zabrak freaks out and raises his saying don't raise a weapon to his family

>Cathar makes a check to awaken and rushes to them

>While he's heading there they scream at each other, put it down, no u, no u, don't be a dick etc etc

>Cathar makes it and force blasts Zabrak + Aliens down, taking his e-11 and cutting the shit out of the tentacle monsters while FemTroop backs him up

>Zabrak is distraught and the spell isn't broken, those two will always appear as his family to him so he doesn't believe the other two when they say it's mental manipulation (fucked a persuade roll if you must know)

>Cathar tells Zabrak to stop fucking around with aliens and Femtroop to get Chiss to study them as he's the only one with Medical knowledge

>Chiss complies and they make camp for next morning

>Scout Troop's inferiority complex makes him think others are judging him as he hears them whispering about him (though they never uttered a word)

>Cathar finds that whenever he uses the force he feels weaker but gets a buff to willpower and force affinity, starts experimenting with it

>Chiss chills, seriously guy made a fuck ton of saves and just fixed things up around the city + Found some dank armour + Vibroblade

>One night they have a collective vision and fight an apparation of Cathar, some nights they're attacked by those aliens, other nights fuck all happens. This continues for a few turns

>Cathar decides to push it to the max, uses force lightning against a wall for a fucking day

>He finds he's losing the flesh on his body, losing his fur as well, his arm is getting thinner and thinner but his buff's are stopping anyone from mentally attacking him

>Apparation appears to the Cathar and tells him that one of his party members is actually a Jedi who is manipulating them all (Slightly True)

>Announcement! Next day Cathar lines them up and demands to know

>Everybody says Chiss is only one who isn't experiencing anything so it must be him

>It's not me, no u, no u etc etc

>Give him a few days to prove himself and exile him

>As he leaves the city that night chiss is attacked by the lamprey things that enter his body, taking out the bone and organ and wearing him like a flesh suit

>Party doesn't know this, Chiss dude writes up pretty sweet new character but won't come in to play for a bit

>Party spot Chiss guy walking back and Cathar tell them to open fire

>They hesitate and force choking commences

>"He's our friend" etc

>"Wut"

>Jedi explains it's already ready, ritual was made just needs someone to press the button

>Explains this will require a lot of force energy but everytime the force is used more of those things will come hunt you down, the reason why they keep attacking the party was Cathar dude was the one drawing them in.

>Party super pissed at him and start talking about how Chiss died for this etc

>Decide to uneasy alliance with Jedi

So that's the overview, a lot of more interesting mental stuff happened. Like I made them walk around a place that kept looping everything they opened the door and trapping them in mental mazes. Think the movie 1408 with mental attacks.
