Yeah...that's a no. Who says.

The Sith are never mentioned in the OT novelizations, nor the movies. Look it up.

From the book STAR WARS: FROM THE ADVENTURES OF LUKE SKYWALKER written by George Lucas, copyright 1976:

Two meters tall. Bipedal. Flowing black robes trailing from the figure and a face forever masked by a functional if bizarre black metal breath screen - a Dark Lord of the Sith was an awesome, threatening shape as it strode through the corridors of the rebel ship.

Qui-Gon was definitely a Master, he just wasn't on the Council.
And he was a Master before he trained Obi-Wan, he had had other Padawans prior to training Kenobi.

He only had 2 prior to Kenobi. One was Xanatos, who turned to the darkside on his final test. The other, though, no one knows anything about. So we really can't count that one.

137. At one stage the hero of the film was to be the female twin.

138. Some of the original titles of the movies-A New Hope was originally titled: The Star Wars, Star Wars: Adventures of the Star Killer, and Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker. Return of the Jedi was originally titled Revenge of the Jedi and also had the fake title of Blue Harvest. The Phantom Menace was originally called The Beginning. Revenge of the Sith was called The Creeping Fear in an April Fools practical joke by Lucasfilm.

139. After the success of Star Wars, George Lucas was asked to direct Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He wisely declined.

140. Before he was introduced to John Williams, George Lucas wanted to contact the estate of Igor Stravinsky to get permission to use The Rite of Spring among other pieces for the Star Wars soundtrack. You can still hear the influence (or some would say plaigarism) on tracks such as the dune sea theme from episode IV and the opening battle missle chase from episode III.

Whoops. I stand corrected. Thank you. But the Sith were never mentioned in the three original movies, at least.

Well anyway, Coruscant is an EU creation. Oh wait. That was mentioned. Nevermind.
