This Sith Lord is conquering the galaxy and cosplay competitions. And it’s no wonder. This Darth Maladi cosplay is the best of the Dark Side.

The Dark Side is seductive. It draws people in, changing the way they view the world. Cosplayers around the world are fascinated by the Dark Side of the Force, portraying Sith Lords and other members of the Galactic Empire of Star Wars. (Cosplayers like Dark_Side Cosplay’s Dark HuttSlayer Slave Leia, Courtney Leigh Creations as Darth Moros, and Maul Cosplay as Darth Maul).

Darth Maladi is a fascinating character:

Darth Maladi, born Malincha, was a Force-sensitive Devaronian female who was taken by the Sith from her homeworld of Devaron following the death of her Jedi father at the hands of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt. She was trained in the dark side and became a prominent Sith Lady in Krayt’s One Sith Order. Maladi specialized in the ways of inquisition, torture, and mental manipulation, all skills which she implemented in her service as the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination. “

You control the throne of the Empire, Dread Lord. By himself, Roan Fel is no danger to you.

Why do you put yourself through this? You owe this Cade nothing. He turned you in for the bounty on Jedi.

Roan Fel has bested my assassin and that will make him complacent. The next attack, he thinks, will also come from without. The true killing stroke, when it comes, will come from within. Unlooked for and unsuspected.

This is an ancient Sith alchemy, my Lord. There is a holocron that speaks of creatures who caused a plague on ancient Taris…the festering wounds he suffered resembled the infectious bite of these “rakghoul.” How strange. Rakghouls have been extinct for millennia, yet one transformed Reave…
