Ppl are busy playing, its slow on the forums... So plz explain something to me. How does the rule of two introduced by Darth Bane make any sense?
It seems to limit the "bad guys" to only two in entire galaxy. How is that logical?
Am I misunderstanding something?
May the force be with you. It shall free you.

They are too nice imo
If infighting ensues.. Thats fine... 1000s get dwindled doen to hundreds or dozens... Still better than just 1.
U could expand the rule of one... Each star system can only have one sith.
Well bane had enough strength to make it happen
Yeah... But we know the sith didnt follow it all the time... They had multiple apprentices... Which is the worst thing a sith could do
this is a more reasonable approach. As i stated above, the rule of two should do two things: 1) prevent two apprentices from killing their master. 2) prevent sith from battling
But it should allow for more than one sith to exist, or even coexist, at one time and even one place.
Room for Jar Jar to be sith still
-More powerful individuals than the previous generations. Lets call it "natural selection"
As the rule say: there is one master to embody the power and an apprentice to crave it. If at any point the apprentice thinks that he is more powerful than the master he could fight him. If he successfully kills him, he becomes the new master, if not, the master looks for a new apprentice.
-Power for the Sith as a group. This is the most important part of this rule. Bane thought that power as a whole is a goal bigger than themselves. Thats why they act behind the shadows, planning their rise in politics and increasing their influence. As a result you see palpatine being a highly important politician at the same time being the result of thousands of years of "natural selection". Thats the reason palpatine is so frigging powerful.
I agree with the first.
The second i dont. Because they limited themselves to one sith, they had no choice but to act in shadows.
the rule itself forces infighting... Because there can only be 1 sith
The Banite Sith act in shadows because the Jedi defeated them last time they operated openly. And there won't be a huge amount of infighting as the apprentice will not try to overcome the master until they are strong enough. If they aren't strong enough, they will be killed and will never gain the power they crave
It's not a rule enforced by God, it's a guide. And asajj was never trained as a sith.
Sidious was looking to upgrade his apprentice to Anakin, he knew the potential as the chosen one. Vader knew he needed help to topple Sidious.
The lesser Sith will team up and destroy the ultimate master, making whoever the lesser Sith elect worse than the first Master. Then the cycle continues, making the Sith weaker and weaker
In the clone wars series, sidious is the master and dooku is the apprentice, if we assume plagueis was dead by then or pursuing his own interests. Sith are only loyal to themselves. They only want to gain power, as we saw with sidious letting anakin kill dooku, he looked only to having more power with a new apprentice. No loyalty for dooku.
I hope that kind of answers the question. You cant look at it as the big picture of jedi vr sith and wonder why all the sith dont team up. Its part of the dark side of the force that they dont all cooperate and that their only goal is more power
Maul was also trained as a mercenary, but under sidious and plagueis, not sid and dooku.
I would alter Bane's philosophy... If an apprentice is strong enuff, he goes out n kills a jedi, not his master. If he succeeds, they split up to never see each other again.
This.
A Sith is something you need to learn to become. You have to be taught by a Sith Lord to inherit that title. Many were trained to use dark side Force abilities, but they were never meant to become a true Sith.So technically, Savage should not be labeled as a Sith.
Yeah, its important to clarify that not every dark side user is a Sith but every Sith is a dark side user.
In Legends the Sith used to be an "Alien specie" but later it became more of a philosophy
Actually, the Sith objective being world domination, it doesn't make sense. There can only be one ruler if we are talking about world domination, not a UNO. The aim of a Sith lord is not the primacy of his faction but his own rule and power. Jedi, on the other hand, are peacekeepers in a sense. They have no reason to keep their numbers low. Two at a time works because the dark side works by manipulating others and they don't have to follow any rules of engagement.
Still, it exposes them vulnerable to space accidents. One mistake and all sith r dead.
