Anyone ever read 'Dark Lords of the Sith'? Pretty awesome comic series. Main character's this hard bastard, name of Exar Kun. Starts out Jedi, then goes renegade, urged on by the ghostly form of the ancient Sith lord Freedon Nadd. Eventually Exar Kun finds what can only be described as a Sith hate-powered murder-ray, with which he kills the crap out of a gigantic monster and enslaves an entire alien race--then, after Nadd's ghost mouths off, Kun kills him, too. I'll say that again--Exar Kun kills a friggin' ghost. You hear that, folks? Before the prequels hit, the Sith were such badasses that even dead guys had to be afraid of them. That's hardcore. Kind of says a lot about how lame the prequels made them.
