This is a great example of why you should introduce new characters when you want to fill in backstory. It’s one thing for your established characters to make an appearance, but Star Wars even over does THAT. What Jedi hasn’t lost a fight to Vader and survived in the decades between RoS and ANH?
At this point it’s more like one established but admittedly evil government failing to stop 6 guys with a truck for 40 years.
Well, it’s not unreasonable to assume that pretty much all Jedi/Sith knew all the other Jedi or Sith. The absolute height of force users in the galaxy is only around 22,000 split 10,000/10,000/2,000 Jedi/Sith/Revanite. That two fucking families ended up spawning the majority of force users for a period of about 100 years seems unreasonable to me, but I’m not Lucas’s ex-wife, and she seems to be the main force for storyboarding episodes 4 and 5.
Honestly I think Anakin finding out about Darth Nox/Oculus would have been a much more interesting way for him to fall. Darth Plagius is too straightforward to make his fall interesting and complex.

It’s very Dickensian. Everyone is connected to everyone else in some way or other. In a vast galaxy.
