[The Last Jedi] If Snoke and Kylo Ren aren’t Sith like the Visual Dictionary suggests, why does Kylo Ren say...?

How’s it going, ya’ll?

So according to The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary, Snoke is not a Sith. In fact, it goes on to say that there is a Sith prophecy about the end of the Sith but not the end of darkness and that Vader was the last of the Sith.

But then if Snoke and Kylo Ren aren’t Sith, why does Kylo Ren tell Rey to, “Let the past die. Snoke, Skywalker, The **Sith**, the Jedi, let it all go.” If the Sith are truly gone, why would Kylo Ren refer to the Sith as something that hasn’t died out yet?

Because of this line in the movie, I find it hard to believe that Snoke and Kylo Ren aren’t Sith. Perhaps a new breed of Sith? But it seems to me they still follow Bane’s Rule of Two. Anyhow, is Snoke and Kylo Ren truly not Sith? And if not, why would Kylo Ren mention them in the first place as something of the past that should die?

Because the Sith were to Kylo Ren what the Jedi were to Rey. Both institutions were idealized, almost worshipped. Kylo Ren strove to be a Sith even though it was impossible, just as Rey did (although with Luke alive her goal was much more attainable).

It’s not Sith or Jedi he was proposing to let die – it is *the* Sith and *the* Jedi; the concept of Sith and Jedi, and the idealization and near-worship of the respective institutions.
