I think that the Jedi would only get involved when they found out that the Sith were trying to take over the leadership of the senate. This could then logically lead to the senate being turned against the Jedi. Perhaps some systems would side with the senate and some with the Jedi. This would give rise to the Clone Wars. The division of the senate would allow for the systems that stay to become the Empire. The Empire have a clone army which has been assembled in secret, plus a vast fleet of Star Destroyers. This unexpected show of force overwhelms the opposition.

That's definitely a good idea right there. But, like was stated earlier, I believe it might be best to have the clone wars in progress as the stories begin.
