This is what I always say about the Sith returning.

It's strange that so many people were torn up about losing the canonicity of post-Jedi EU like the Thrawn Trilogy, and yet there are people who are just as annoyed that the Empire is still alive and kicking when basically all post-Jedi EU included the Imperial Remnant in some form.

So true.

The worst is a group of TFN'ers who don't want the Empire to appear because they think that Star Wars should only be about Jedi and Sith.
