Few comments here . . .
Between #1 and #2 you should add that Lucifer was God's top "assistant" (for lack of a better word) and was appointed over all the other angels to administrate (for lack of a better word) all of God's creation in the universe. Lucifer was given incredible authority, while God apparently stepped into the background.
For #2, we know that 1/3 of the angels sided with Lucifer. We also know that other types of creatures also did, notably the demons. There may also have been human-like creatures on earth, and perhaps on numerous other planets throughout the universe.
For #4, we don't know if God directly judged the earth, or whether a global collapse occurred as a natural consequence of the rebellion.
It is my belief, for example, that life existed on Mars, and possibly other planets in the solar system. There may well be skeletons on Mars too. There might very well have been a universal loss of life throughout every solar system in every galaxy.
Even after God restored earth to habitable life for man, Lucifer still maintained his former positions of authority, along with myriads of his supporting "staff."
