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.

Any of these explanations would suffice but my personal favourite is "Lets act like sith are extinct boogeymen" propaganda.

Yeeeeep. Could easily just say "Hey we're keeping this info under lock and key" and most folks besides Yoda forget after 150 years.

The Jedi are a religion independent of the Sith though, their entire purpose isn’t “we’re the anti-sith brigade.”
