An idea I had:
Namely how to take the idea of Star Wars and make Palpatine something other than a screw-up:
When Darth Plagueis takes in a young boy from Corellia named Palpatine, of a distant noble line gone into its darkest corner, killing his parents, Palpatine becomes indoctrinated into the use of the dark side of the force. Where Darth Bane had envisioned revenge against the Jedi as killing them all off, Darth Plagueis had envisioned a more subtle plague for the Jedi Order. Namely corrupting slowly the Jedi into the Sith, so that the revenge of the Sith would be that the Jedi would decay into Sith and none could know what transpired until too late. Becoming entranced into this plan, Palpatine continues to study the Dark Side, now known as Darth Sidious. He becomes a master adept, eventually taking an apprentice of his own, Darth Maul. Darth Plagueis attempts to create a perfect being by the force, and on Tatooine, the future Sith Adept Darth Vader is born.
Darth Plagueis is eventually killed by Darth Sidious, but not prior to introducing into the Jedi Order the idea of the One Force. The idea is adopted by Grand Master Yoda, and through the wiles of the Sith master Darth Sidious the Order itself begins a slow decline into a more militant organization, adopting the idea of Serenity through the Saber. This idea sees its first test in the Arkanian Revolution, in which the new Jedi Militants brutally impose order, satisfying Sidious's plans. He then begins to use Darth Maul to stir up chaos, prompting a brutal war in Naboo, a planet led by an incompetent minor on the Global Throne which utterly devastates the planet after Maul produces a Trade Federation deployment, eventually crashed down on by the Jedi Militants. Disgusted at the Republic's incompetence, Master Dooku leaves the Jedi Order, and is initiated by Maul as the first of the new Force Lords. Reviving the ancient title of Jedi Lord, Dooku proclaims himself Lord Anarchos and begins plans to create a clone army to strengthen the Republic from the threat Palpatine has discovered, an incoming alien invasion.
The Trade Federation gets wind of Darth Sidious's role in this and under a charismatic leader named Komari Vosa a coalition of disaffected leaders rebel against the Chancellor of the Republic, prompting the appointment due to deadlock in the Senate of Palpatine of the Chommel Sector as Chancellor. A Jedi adventure backfires at Geonosis, prompting the Jedi Massacre and the rescue of the survivors by a joint force led by Jedi Lord Anarchos and Grand Master Yoda, at the head of the new Grand Army of the Republic.
The vicious Clone Wars begin as the Independent Systems led by Supreme Overlord Vosa wars against the Republic led by Generalissimo Palpatine. Serenity through the Saber becomes the universal ideal of the Jedi Order, and in the climatic Outer Rim Sieges, the New Jedi Order begins, as a young man, caught in the crossfire of the Battle of Tatooine is rebuilt as a brutal new overlord, Darth Vader, and the One Force Order era begins. Jedi and Sith are one, the One Forcers.
Eventually discontented factions revive the idea of the Independent Systems, and a Rebel Alliance of Neo-Vosites lead a desperate guerilla war against the One Force Empire and its three masters, Grand Master Yoda of the former Jedi, the now-called Ashlites, and the twin Bognites Sidious and Maul. The war ends in a bloody defeat of the Rebellion in the Endor Holocaust, and later an infiltration of the Yuuzhan Vong begins, one countered in a series of Brushfire conflicts by the One Forcers, before the gigantic Vong War begins.
This war, larger than the Clone Wars, ended in a resounding victory for the clone/droid One Force Military over the Vong, as the Vong forces find themselves in gruesome sanguinary battles that end up chewing up entire Vong armies and the One Force Empire is entirely untroubled by the loss of clones and droids, where the Vong get increasingly desperate, resulting in Suicide Waves being repeatedly sent in the Battles of Blood.
The ending of my saga is roughly analogous to the Legacy Saga, in that a group of Hard-Line One Forcers deep in the Dark Side attempt to revive the Sith Order under Darth Umbrae and this triggers the Sith War that ends in another defeat of the Sith, led by General Fel of the One Force Empire.
So....thoughts? Is this a mite too geeky?
