Yea, idk. I think a Star Wars story that has a Sith character as the protagonist/anti-hero would be interesting. Yes they're evil but it could be done in a sort of sympathetic light. And I don't mean SW:Ep3 as Anakin only really went evil at the end and it wasn't really that great
Something to build up the Dark Side as said, as something scary and not a joke. Vader and the Emperor had that effect. The villains after them really haven't

Yeah. I agree.
There's a big chaotic universe and as KoTR demonstrates, centuries to go back or forward into.
I think really cartoon villainy doesn't resonate with our generation. Kylo was a cartoon villain, and it felt week and forced.
There's the potential we'll see a Sith movie, Rogue One and Han Solo developed deeper themes. Han Shot first, and his girlfriend stayed behind with the syndicate.
Really the dark side of the force is hate, fear, anger, it's possible for those to be used by an antihero of sorts to topple another villain, only to consume the antihero. Anakin was supposed to be that, but Anakin wasn't really purposeful. He was reactionary. And he just "went insane".
Darth Vaders story is really the story of a villainous antihero. He was an effective and efficient tyrant that brought order to a chaotic universe, and his story isn't really told through Anakins flawed story.
I'm thinking a proper story with the right amount of conflict and depth would require more realistic intrigue and at a minimum 6 movies. I wouldn't want to set it around the skywalkers timeline, because that family is Lucus's baby. We can't undo the past.
We can re-write it however.
Anyway food for thought.
Imagine Sith Lord Maerilith turning a slaver empire on itself with piracy and espionage which turns into a tyrannical police state. Set to a Star Wars universe. Touching on the subjects of Huxlian dystopia and bodily autonomy and personal freedom.
Twoud be interesting.
