The rule of two is fucking retarded

Well technically Maul was "dead" so he got a new apprentice so the rule wasn't broken there

No. You’re right. Star wars is overrated garbage.

If an apprentice can kill their master, their training is complete

Yeah and then Sheev had a whole fucking planet of Dark Side adepts who were going to turn the Empire from a bureaucratic militarized autocracy to a Sith magocracy, with Darth Sidious as the Immortal Emperor. So yeah, suffice to say that Palpatine gave no fucks about any rules.

Feel free to prove me wrong then.

>so successful...
Seeing how Sheev won and held power in the galaxy for a good bit, yes, he did win

The old EU was pretty silly with how many “secret” apprentices Vader trained, and they all end up failures, so I guess he was a shitty teacher.

Isn't that the point?

The Sith are retarded. As much as you edgelords want to pretend otherwise.

>prove me wrong.
It worked

>How many apprentices has Darth had over the years?
Three.
>By definition, him having just one violates the law.
Not really. By having an apprentice that is christened a sith, there is two. The only time there was more than two was when Maul was believed to be dead. But then that was soon rectified by Sheev taking Maul's title away and thus making him no longer a Sith. After that, Dooku was replaced with Vader upon his death. Thus keeping the rule intact all the way up until Endor.

>>if the master dies before the apprentice training is complete they are fucked
Then the apprentice becomes the new master, it's not like the knowledge just fucking disappears.
>>>anytime they meet the are super vulnerable
yeah, that's the fucking point
>>still needs to share the power
They don't, the master is the one in control
>>ranks no longer mean shit, if the apprentice rebels they lose their "order"
Then the master just finds a new apprentice after dealing with the previous one

>If an apprentice can kill their master, their training is complete
Bullshit, Sidious had to kill Plagueis while he slept.

Honestly, that is kinda retarded.

The Sith are pretty dumb. Buncha cliche mustache twirling bad guys with no forethought.

Kinda like the Decepticons.

Like everything Lucas did it was just a retroactive thought when he did the prequels to explain why there was only Vader and Sidious in the OT.

You see when you kill a Sith Lord all their power flows into you making you be just like them.

It worked rather well in fact.

It doesn't matter how he did it, the fact of the matter is that he managed to kill his master

>Then the apprentice becomes the new master
A master without the complete training who is supposed to train another apprentice, they are fucked
>yeah, that's the fucking point
The point is that they are easier to destroy than before?
>They don't, the master is the one in control
Except that Sidious was never truly in control of Dooku or Anakin, they had acess to his knowledge and could do whatever they wished with it.
>Then the master just finds a new apprentice after dealing with the previous one
Yeah, now the master is exposed, the apprentice gave his enemies his location and he still needs to murder the bastard before training a new sucessor.

>got killed by his apprentice
yes, it worked rather well...

>Then the apprentice becomes the new master, it's not like the knowledge just fucking disappears.
If the apprentice isn't fully trained and the master dies before teaching him everything than where does the apprentice get the knowledge from?

Yeah, even if he could beat him, doesn't mean he had nothing left to learn.
I mean, a young boxer can probably beat the shit out of his old coach, but that doesn't mean the old man had nothing to teach the kid.

>Bullshit, Sidious had to kill Plagueis while he slept.
Plagueis' fault for getting cocky and letting his guard down by sleeping where his apprentice could get to him. Being an underhanded, below the belt striking doucebag is all part of being a Sith.

For the longest time, I thought the "There is always a master and an apprentice" was just a generic talk about "did we kill the mastermind or the henchman." I really didn't understand post Prequel trilogy where everyone suddenly claimed that "There are only two Sith". What's the fuck point of that?

>If the apprentice isn't fully trained and the master dies before teaching him everything than where does the apprentice get the knowledge from?
Sith ruins, Sith artifacts, places where the dark side is present, etc.
I think all of you are forgetting that we're dealing with the Force here, there's more to it that some guy telling you how shit works

Daily reminder that Sidious considered the rule of 2 retarded and never followed it.

Expanded universe Plagueis, Maul, Dooku and even Vader considered it outdated as well

I still stand that the sequel trilogy should have had a council of Sith.

>bailed out by the force
so fucking stupid

>Daily reminder that Sidious considered the rule of 2 retarded and never followed it.
Daily reminder that everything we've canonically seen shows that Sheev was a devout follower of the Rule of Two and that your citing EU as a source for information in regards to the character is outdated thinking.

Sounds interesting, where was this?

>It worked didn’t it.
Lol no. The Sith as a culture and Society were dead and the Rule of two was the final nail in the coffin for their viability as a functional ideology in the real world
>The Sith spent centuries in hiding cultivating their power and passing it on thanks to the Rule, while the Jedi grew stagnant and weak and dismissed any idea of the Sith being around at all.
You mean a few retards, having been pushed to the brink of extinction by an almost equally incompetent organization, following ideology that was basically trying to twist Buddhist-esque principles of non-participation into somehow being the side of good, hid underground and continued backstabbing each other on a smaller scale, instead of introducing any actual reform to their dumbass ideology that would encourage something other than indulging their ape-brained lust for “power” without any real use for it, and just waited for their dumbass bretheren be torn apart by their own ideological doublethink? Because that is what they did.

The Rule of 2 only “worked” in the sense that it made “the Sith” (as much as you can call a few Larping edgelord dipshits pretending that their little clubhouse can capture even a fraction of the respect and authority that an actual organization would) just barely stable enough to outlast an equally retarded organization. It is stupid degree that relied entirely on their enemy’s incompetence to work.
