Mary-Sues are reviled because they break canon, and I think the main issue with Sith OCs is that they invariably break canon. You know, something about having two Sith lords at any one time, and here you have three. My interpretation of SW is that a Sith doesn't just appear out of the blue but that the Sith Master has to groom his choice of pupil to be the next Sith lord. You'll need a good explanation why there are spare Siths running around the galaxy.
Anyhow, I think it's possible to have evil manipulative OCs in Star Wars canon without making them Siths as well, but that's your choice as the writer.
