Sith=Alchemists?

I originally had this thought for the 3SA, but since you can't post topics there, and this can deal with the entire saga, I'll post it here, if it's okay!

Alchemy has 3 goals,
(according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy )
1.) Learning how to transform any substance into Gold
2.) Creating a remedy that would prolong life indefinitely
3.) Creating Life

To achieve these goals, they tried to create the Philosopher's Stone, which would control the fifth element, called magic/spirit/The Force.

The first one is not that important, but those last two goals tie into directly what the Sith do/want to do, as we learned in Episode III.

Is the Sith Order just the GFFA's version of Alchemists or what?

 

Well, yeah, if they fit the requirements, which they seemingly do...Interesting thought...
