People, we need to stop feeling like we HAVE to include certain things because they're "entrenched in Star Wars lore."  For our purposes, the ONLY things that are "entrenched in the lore" are anything seen or heard on-screen in STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and RETURN OF THE JEDI.  That is IT.

That means we DON'T KNOW how Anakin got scarred.  It could have been in a duel with Obi-Wan, but maybe not.

We have NEVER HEARD of "Sith."  Sure, Vader is mentioned as a Dark Lord in the OT, but never is the word "Sith" uttered.  I don't think it needs to be, and I don't think that Palpatine and Vader need to be a part of any organization other than the Empire.  They are using the Force outside of the Jedi Order, tapping into the "dark side," but I don't see why they need to be part of any sort of organization.

Everyone's coming up with some fantastic ideas, but for every step forward, we take two back when we feel we can't change something because it's "too entrenched in Star Wars lore."  If you look at it that way, what's the point of doing any of this?  The prequels are pretty fucking entrenched in Star Wars lore if you ask me.
