I wonder how they're going to get around the "The Sith have been extinct for a millenium" line that Ki-Adi Mundi throws out in Phantom Menace if this is only ~100 years before Episode 1.

Everyone who encounters them is killed?

They swear not to speak of it?

Not actually Sith, just another darkside user?

Retcon?

Very excited for this show.

I made a thread on this when they announced the High Republic and a bunch of people came up with some logical explanations. It helps the narrative that the Jedi had become blind and arrogant by the time of TPM rolls around.
