5. A Hidden Sith Order
Dark Horse ComicsOver the course of the six Star War films, there have only been a handful of Sith ever portrayed on the big screen. Whereas the prequels glorified the once might and scale of the Jedi Order, the Sith continue to be a mystery. The lone reference to prior Sith glory is made by Darth Sidious during his christening of Darth Vader in Episode III, wherein he lays claim that the Sith will once again rule the galaxy and establish peace. So is it possible there could be a new, larger group of Sith ready to emerge as a threat to the galaxy? Suppose with the fall of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader the possibility of another sect of Sith in the galaxy which was simply been bidding their time. By no means is it unreasonable to picture this happening, as it was the identical strategy used by Darth Sidious and Darth Maul prior to the events of The Phantom Menace. No matter how many Sith end up emerging in Episode VII, given the age and established history of their order, the Sith certainly fit the billing of an Ancient Fear.
