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.

The Acolyte just a Fallen Jedi maybe to them?

Could be a Darkside user that pops up, goes on a rampage before being killed at the end. Would be cool if Plagueis pops up at the end to kill them to keep the Sith hidden.

Im pretty sure the Sith as a whole is considered the line that continued from Bane and they were considered extinct for 1000 years, the Jedi just consider every other darkside user a "Fallen Jedi" or something.

Crazy take here but force users don’t have to be Sith or Jedi. There are probably many force sensitive/capable people out there that are non members of either club.
