that's true and maybe one out of all the younglings would not fall to the dark side. I think it has happen before, but i can't remember. 🙂

Actually, The Emperor had a number of Dark Jedi under him. At one point in fact he had one of his Hands (y'know, those assassin guys) cloned into an contingent of Darkside soldiers, until they went rogue and Vader had to kill them all. So both sides are right, in a way.
You know the history expanded upon in the Phantom Menace novelization - it was the great number of Sith users a thousand years earlier, that help seal their fate against the Jedi. They fought & killed amongst themselves, because the dark side makes you greedy for power, so they helped the Jedi in wiping themselves out. The surviving Sith made a pledge to always keep their numbers small after that.

ans she isn't mentioned in the films. I can't remember if she was mentioned in the books, but they too are semi-canon as the movies override them.
She's mentioned in the Clone Wars cartoon as well as the recent Clone Wars movie and weekly series. All of those are upper canon, as the George overwatches their production/storyline very closely. So, yes she is a canon character.

Getting back on subject a bit . . . .I did liked the Killing of the Youngling's at the hand's of Darth Skywalker. Mabie 'Liked' isn't the right word. But I thought it showed just how murderous and how far Skywalker was willing to go to sell his soul to the Dark Emperor. The story of Faust indeed.
It was like a test once he had done that there was no going back
