 * I have created the Death Watch article and made a symbol for it based on the one that appears on Jinda Vrox's armor. It looks quite good, if I do say so myself. Feel free to fill in the article with stuff from The Clone Wars (I wouldn't just copy/paste from Wookieepedia, though). We can then decide on EU-type material that will lead to the group's extermination.
 * I have been trying to decide on the kind of story I want to tell: something with the scale of what the trailers for The Old Republic set up - a massive war against an all-powerful Sith Empire. Therefore, I think we should approach our plot as a sort of fusion between The Old Republic (with the New Republic in place of the old one) and Star Wars: Legacy. Legacy is obviously the prominent basis, but the style of story is more Old Republic - Sith Empire returns, wages war on the New Republic, et cetera. Then a sequel trilogy could show a force that appears out of no where and faces both Jedi and Sith, again a reference to The Old Republic. It could be this era that sees Darth Decimus return in a clone body, or something like that (possession?).
 * My reasoning for this: The Old Republic is very lore-heavy, like I want to be. It also features some of the ideas we had, such as a Dark Council of Sith.
 * I'd like to consider pushing towards including somewhere in the title of our project "Star Wars: The Sequel Saga." Either we should use it as a subtitle, alternate name, or a new name.
 * I think we should adjust the timeline. Just as The Old Republic takes place 3,681 years BBY so that it can explore and expand upon familiar worlds to give fans something new and exciting, perhaps our story should take place in an ABY year in the thousands…this way, it's a bit more dramatic when the extinct Sith show up out of no where, for the New Republic has stood peacefully for centuries at that point. This gives the Sith an easy victory; the Republic has "grown rusty" in the many years since the Battle of Endor and whatever conflicts take place in Episode VII-IX.
 * Rather than use the term "Reborn Sith" to refer to our Empire, why not something like "True Sith?" We could always say that they are also known as the Reborn Sith, for they have the new philosophies of Darth Krayt's non-canon group…Regardless, we would have group names and organizations like the "True Sith Empire" and so-on.

Please note that everything I have said here in terms of plot structure is only backbone material, not the final product. I have absolutely no desire to simply rehash The Old Republic or Legacy. I want to, essentially, take all this material, in addition to several abandoned Star Wars concepts, to create something totally epic and original. Something that, as we set out from the beginning to do, could carry Star Wars into the far, far future.
