Alternate Universe Campaign Idea- Help Please.

Hey guys, I reckon you all can help on this question, first a little background to set the scene.

I'm am currently running a small campaign, started with the beginners box, and now launched into the download adventure to continue upon that quest, but once that's done I want to reveal to the players that they are actually in an alternate SW universe.

Universe:

The history, quickly is, that Darth Maul was never sliced in half and killed, and as a result slayed both qui gon and obi wan.

The Emperor moved quickly to take control of the Galaxy with the Jedi reeling from the deaths.

With a large attack on coruscant and surrounding planets using onu droids many Jedi fell and the Core region was now under sith control. But this weaker attack left many Jedi surviving the initial coup. Many years later the Jedi have recuperated slightly and are now coordinating guerrilla style attacks on imperial forces.

In the game I will allow the players to take one side. Playing either a few stranded fledgling Jedi organising and doing attacks on the empire, or the sith, playing as inquisitor types hunting down the remaining Jedi and keeping troops safe from Jedi scum.

If they play Jedi, then I'll make some small adjustments, like force trained troops, they will only have very weak powers, and I'm thinking only have use of push and an ability to detect other force users, just something to keep the players in their toes.

So the reason this post is here is for creative criticism, and ideas. What would you guys like to see added, taken out? Either way chime in, you may be my only hope.

Edit: Darth Maul has secretly been training assassins, inquisitors and sith warriors. Convinced that Darth Banes rule of two is incorrect, he starts to train apprentices on many different planets, giving them all different ranks and positions so that they would know their place and be less likely to feel equal and attempt a power grab.

This army being amassed would be the backstory and focus for sith players and is built with the intention of eventually overthrowing Palpatine.

What happened to Anakin then? Because he still destroyed the Trade Federation Station and stopped the Droid assault was he picked up by Maul?

Is he a Knight within the Order?

Was he killed during the Sacking of Coruscant?

Were all the Jedi Masters killed?

Why would the Jedi be inherently weaker then the Sith?
