No, which was perfect. There was no weird lore or silly names. Nobody ever says Sith or Padawan or Midiclorians or rule of two in the original trilogy, etc.
The Emperor is just the Emperor. Vader calls him his master and he calls Vader his "friend" in a twisted way. The Sith are never mentioned, only the Dark Side of the force.
The rule of two doesn't even make sense in the context of the original trilogy as Vader clearly bargains to turn Luke and bring him into the fold for the three of them to work together. If the rule of two were true all along, he would know that Palpatine would never allow this and that he would just be laying the seeds for his convenient replacement. In ROTJ we finally get the realization that Palpatine intends for Luke to destroy and replace his father but that is for the audience and it doesn't make sense that Vader would not have previously known of the rule.
