In the best case scenario, we could... Turn her betrayal, into a tool to make the surviving Jedi Council; bow before their Shadow Overlord. Or, more benevolent hand than an... insidious backup plan.
There's just one easy solution to it all;
From that perspective the best would be to send Anakin. Not even that much convincing needed because he put himself under our command.
Joke wise, even if we suspect-and-know? It'd probably lead to hypothetical Palpatine figuring out in detail.
And no doubt, "easy" case scenario; Anakin could easily choke her to death.
It's no good at all to romanticise the Dark Side, nor is it good to unfairly denigrate the Light Side to bolster the legitimacy of the evil side of the Force. There were problems with the Jedi, but their rejection of evil wasn't one of them. An order that's half devoted to curing blind puppies and half devoted to burning down orphanages wouldn't be as cool as you think.
As we've been a Sith for god knows how long, nah!
Nope, it is in fact "mwahaha we're evil", not just irrationality and passion being used by people who happen to be evil. The misinterpretation comes from people who saw the word "passion" in the Sith code and used it as an excuse to wildly distort what the Dark Side's about to justify liking it, or to justify one's dedication to the golden mean fallacy. The "passion" there is talking about anger, hate, lust for power, etc., specifically in the context of destruction and domination. The Dark Side is about evil, not about general passion. The Dark Side will not help you get better at graphic design.
No, we as a society are not bored by darkness being linked to evil and light to good. Though there are several kinds of media where that dichotomy is blurred, discarded, inverted, etc., it still has its place in several other kinds of media, of which Star Wars is one of them.
But it doesnt have too, yes the vast majority of Sith are mwhahahaha evil, their can be exceptions. Ciaran, Vectivus and Assajj for example.
When the vast majority of Dark Siders are very evil and a tiny exception are, at best, sort of evil, it's completely silly to say the Dark Side isn't evil.
I said it doesnt have to be. If the right training is put into place Darkside users can be perfectly functional sociopaths who practice enlightened self-interest.
...that might just be my favourite way that's ever been put, well done. That's definitely going to influence the way I write/conceive of things in the future.
