Now the Sith May have done some unethical things, but I think we should study what they did that worked and use it to help the rebels become the new empire.

  Yes? If you want to be ethical, you are already fighting at a disadvantage. People who are effectively ethical, who are able to act on their principles without needing to compromise, are often the people who are ruthlessly pragmatic about what does and doesn't work. If the Sith start fighting with double-sided lightsabers and killing 50% more of your troops, maybe the Rebels should either start building a few double-sided lightsabers themselves, or come up with some kind of tangible defense against that strategy. Of course, when you get to Sith strategies like, "choking out rebellious admirals really helps", you can't use that one without being unethical. But knowing about the strategy still helps, because it allows you respond to it. The reason a successful ethical business can afford not to compromise when things get tough is because they are better at everything else, and you get better at everything else by learning and studying.
