They're most likely gonna try and recapture the feel of the original film. Darth Vader wasn't a "Sith Lord," he was just a cool bad guy in black armor.

It was never mentioned in dialogue that Vader was a Sith.

But Vader was never just a guy.....in SW it was established that he turned to evil whilst training to be a Jedi, he strangled an officer 'magically' he used a red laser-sword instead of a gun.....he was a evil Jedi....who are called Sith.....even back then.

I do agree with you though, Ben tells Luke that lightsabers were from a more civilized age, in the OT the only people using this weapon after Ben's death were Vader & Luke, so perhaps in the new film lightsabers should be perhaps only shown in training, blasters etc were the prefered weapons in the OT.

Hopefully we can have a break from the Sith in the new movie.....until perhaps a pupil decides to take the quick & easy route to the Force for the rest of the new trilogy
