The TOR Sith, their Emperor, and their Empire. They undermine the movies, TOTJ, and even KOTOR.
In what way?
The question is for Sith and Empire, not for the Emperor btw.
Though I haven't played the game, I can immediately recognize how TOR undermines TOTJ just by looking at screencaps and reading various synopses across the 'Net.
The Sith Empire in the game is supposed to be a reinvigorated remnant of the Sith Empire that appears in The Golden Age of the Sith and Fall of the Sith Empire storylines. The Sith in those stories, though, were biological Sith -- with red skin, pointed chins, simian facial features, etc. -- and weilded crystalline swords. But the Sith in TOR are just like the Sith depicted in post-PT storylines -- belonging to many different species, weilding red lightsabers, using the "Darth" title, etc, etc.
One's left wondering why the creators of TOR even bothered to tie their Sith directly to the Sith of the old Sith Empire if they weren't even going to adhere to how those Sith were originally depicted.
I am not an expert of pre-KOTOR EU but I am pretty sure you are wrong about Sith being biologically pure Sith at the time of Naga Sadow. Sadow was a mix between original Sith and human... as almost all other Sith at that time. I am not sure about this again, but the EU story goes that some exiled Jedi mingled with them thousands of years before. All this was not established in TOR btw. TOR just followed it by simply saying that there were more humans in the Empire (workers, soldiers) than Sith and that the Sith genes were eventually outweighed, therefore majority of imperial look human at that time. So essentially all the imperial humans still have a percentage of Sith genes. What TOR tried to do was connecting all the previously established EU mess to somehow make sense.
As for Empire having many species, that is just wrong. TOR portrays the Empire extremely anti-alien (Sith are not counted as aliens of course).
Btw have you seen this Galactic History from the SWTOR website? If not you may go through them and see how they connected everything.
