There’s a Theory that expands this. (Equilibrium takes place a very long time ago in a galaxy far, far away)

“Equilibrium is set in the distant past of the Star Wars universe. The Clerics (quasi-religious order of warriors who believe in suppressing emotion in order to ensure peace) are an early, evil version of the Jedi Order. The Sith began as a rebellion against the Clerics: compared with the emotionally suppressed society of Equilibrium, the Sith creed (“Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me”) actually seems quite reasonable.” - TV tropes
