Thank you! I'm so glad someone brought that issue up. I hated the idea of the "Sith," especially the way they operate in the current PT. But what bugs me most is that before the PT, my impression was that Vader and Palpatine represented a different kind of organization than the Jedi were, one that wasn't remotely spiritual, and they used something spiritual in a way it should never be used in order to crush the Jedi in the name of conformity and order (the only way to have the two, in their minds, being the elimination of spirituality, which the Jedi represented).

There should be nothing of the sort in our PT. Palpatine is not the leader of any order, just a Hitler-esque politician who uses the Force in a way it shouldn't be (the "Dark Side") to gain power. He sees that he needs other Force-users once his power becomes more vast before he can becom Emperor, and thus attempts to corrupt some of the best Jedi in order to turn them rather than trying to find one in his military or administration.

The Boba idea is interesting, but I don't think he really needs much of a story. We could try it out, and if it becomes detrimental to the story, we can write it out.
