I still think that an ideal villain is Leia.  In a way, it's a chance for the idea of the prequels to be redeemed... that is, unlike PT Anakin, we actually LIKE Leia. For her to turn to the dark side would be tragic.  Also, I can see her made up like the Emperor, shrieking maniacally - would be scarier than the Emperor, actually.

 

Leia is the best choice for a villain. Force empowered, part of the Skywalker lineage and played by a capable actress. As one of the good guys Leia would now be dull. She would be little more than a Mon Mothma clone. But as a villain she could be as powerful and as potent a character as she was in the OT and prove that not all Star Wars villains are old men, cyborgs or baldies (think Jean Marsh in Willow) but yes shrieking would be too much like ROTS Palpatine after the mask came on.
