    with the absence of a Sith collective I'd imagine dark side factions and individuals flourished. Knights of Ren are a sure bet. But there must be others who kept the immemorial battle between light and dark going.

    I'm sure there will be some non-Sith baddies in the show... but it will obviously be the Sith behind the scenes influencing events and situations. Given what the writer has said, I think a major focus will be the Sith's infiltration of the Republic and senate.

    Yes the Sith were active during this period doing their Rule of Two thing. So if we don't see Plagueis we are likely to see their master.

    And I don't think having such characters appear is merely clicking off a Wookipedia checklist. The Sith are part of the darksider story, and The Acolyte is a darksider story.

    It's like in The Clone Wars when Palpatine got involved with Maul or Ventress when they became too powerful. Such characters have a natural interest and stake in each other, as allies but especially as rivals for power.

    I think Plagueis will appear the longer the series goes on. Yoda will be major player i think as the Grand master of the jedi and his dealings with politicians.

    I will be honest this is one of the show's I'm most excited for, because hopefully we will get to focus a little more on the villains and dark side. Plus I've dipped my toe into the high Republic era and I got to admit, it is intriguing to me

    As somebody that's never been into the brown and tan robe look of the Jedi it's nice to hear that according to the Vanity Fair article "The Jedi uniforms are gold and white".

    I 100% agree I would love to see how the Jedi Order has changed over time with the Ebbs and flows of society government and politics.

    I won’t be surprised at this point if they establish in some future sourcebook that the robe Snoke wore was some ancient Jedi attire

    Not just the robe, but the capris and slippers, too.

    This will then pave the way for an explanation for why the Jedi shifted from gold and white robes to brown robes, an explanation that nobody needs, kinda like how Han got his last name.

    Costume change between 100 years seems good.

    I love the idea that the Jedi will have different outfits-but still kind of "next level," compared to the average being's attire. The gold and white was one of the things I enjoy about the High Republic novels. I'm hoping we'll see some alternate lightsaber designs and colors too-double bladed lightsabers, colors of orange, yellow and more purple etc.

    Now knowing the basic premise, I think I might really enjoy this series.

    I wonder if there could be a place for an ancient being, more in line with the early concepts for Yoda or even Bendu?

    There still be smaller conflicts like Naboo, or even war with Nihil like was in HighRepublic series.
