This analogy doesn't work because the Sith of the Sith Empire and the Sith of TOR are both interstellar civilizations with FTL travel and advanced energy weapons.

The analogy is completely valid. The level is different but the variation is the same.

I'm basing my "assumption" that Palpatine's appearance was the result of dark side corruption on Dark Empire, which overtly established that Palpatine's appearance was the result of dark side corruption.

Dark Empire is just another EU source... and a very bad one imo. That is no better than basing stuff on PT.

Making Anakin a snivelling whiny unlikeable jerk tarnishes and undermines the character as he was in the OT. Making the original Sith a race doesn't tarnish or undermine the non-biological Sith.

Opinion.

Sith who aren't sociopathic social Darwinist assholes.

Sith has been that since OT... Vader chocking imperial failures, Emperor replacing Vader with a younger more capable guy.
