No, half your age plus 7 is the stupidest idea ever.

Fpbp

It means that an apprentace has to be stronger than his master in order to become the master, then he repeats the process.

Over thousands of years sith will end up as super force users since they will have to know how to beat the best every time.

While Jedi have no such competition to drive up their abilities.

This is why sheev wins and Jedi lose. he is the product of endless battle between master and apprentice since the beginning of the sith. The Jedi are products of mediocrity.

Being a sith is playing the long game for power because of this.

Wrong kiddo.


Half your age plus seven is literally perfect.

no, you are

Having a thousand Sith is worse because they'd spend more time killing each other than Jedi

What if the master slips and dies on his own?

No. Did you read those books?

And this
>implying a sith lord is going to slip and die on his own

What if the apprentice throws the master into the reactor of a space station but is mortally wounded in the process

It would have to be a big fall.

Stops working somewhere between 34 and 40.

Depends on the guy.

4U

It's not stupid as it was created cause sith were destroying and betraying themselves all the time so they couldn't do like Palpatine did
What it's stupid is that jedi know about

Nah. The Sith are ambitious and power-hungry by definition. It's in their nature to kill each other.

What happens if the master AND their apprentice are weaker than a Padawan of the Jedi order and they both get killed?

It's kinda depressing

Jedi and Sith are each inhuman in their own ways

What if the Master is old and when the Apprentice finally strikes they die somehow, then the Master dies before training a new Apprentice?

The Sith have been "driven extinct" a hundred times already

There will always be some Force-sensitive asshole to rekindle the tradition

Exactly, the process just gets delayed/rebooted now and then.

because of this
this reasoning makes no sense.

The rule of two is shit. Bane is a shitty character almost as bad as rey.

They are like jews, the more you killed the more powerful they become, that's why they only got Israel after the holocaust.

It starts over.

OP who is this guy? Why does he wear the hood?

>this reasoning makes no sense.
>The rule of two is shit.
what are vp?
what are king and heir?

It also makes no sense that they all pay tribute to a law so inherently selfless when their entire order is based on selfishness in the first place

Guys that aren't traditionally expected to fucking murder and usurp their predecessor

The rule of two is another one of those stupid things in the EU that over-explains something nobody fucking cared about in the movies.

Instead of reasoning that the fact that the only sith in the movies are vader and sidious is simply happenstance, EU autists have to make up some contrived longstanding rule to explain why it is the case.

I understand the idea of hoarding knowledge/power, but why bother having an apprentice at all given the risks?

It would have been much more interesting if the rule of two wasn't a cooperative thing, where the Sith Lords try to keep all their knowledge to themselves but fail because an uppity underling always manages to steal their secrets.

>Guys that aren't traditionally expected to fucking murder and usurp their predecessor
All monarchies have had patricides and also vps like Lyndon Jhonson
The father of Suleiman the Magnificent literally killed his father, 4 uncles and 3 sons or more.

but it was Lucas idea you EU hater son of a bitch

>I understand the idea of hoarding knowledge/power, but why bother having an apprentice at all given the risks?
Nobody lives forever. Star Wars species have different lifespans but Yoda croaking at 900 seems to be the absolute upper bound of it, he had become quite old and frail himself and even his incredible lifespan is barely a blink in the face of the 25,000 year old Galactic Republic

>always two there are. No more, no less.
>well except for right now since one just died.
>always two there are. No more, no less, unless we killed one of them. In which case there's only one and then there is a period of time where the one that's left looks for an apprentice so that there can be two again.
hurr

Yeah, you caught me. Lucas does this stupid shit all the fucking time too

Jabba has a Twi'lek dancer? Now ALL twi'lek women are revered for their beauty and are regularly enslaved for use as dancers by criminals.

Ben Kenobi wore drab brown robes on tatooine? Now the official uniform of the jedi is drab brown robes!

>Only the Sith deal in absolutes!

>half the shit Yoda says is an absolute
>the phrase "Only the Sith deal in absolutes" is an absolute itself

>Jabba has a Twi'lek dancer? Now ALL twi'lek women are revered for their beauty and are regularly enslaved for use as dancers by criminals.
Why not? Slav girls are just like that.

>George Lucas is vehemently against grey area in regards Dark side and Light.
>hated kotor2 because of this.

>thoughout history the Sith were at the most dangerous when they had great numbers
>conquered whole star systems, bullied the Republic
>achieved heights of Force mastery undreamed of
>Bane comes along and faggots it up
>Sith are now always in hiding and accomplish literally nothing
>Sidious is the only Sith since Rule of 2 to have ever accomplished anything of note

It's fucking stupid and Lucas is a retard for coming up with it

Wasn't Qui Gon 100% grey though?

Fucking this

Yeah, but even still. Sidious manipulating the Republic to be Emperor lasted what? 20 years? You have to figure he was setting up the events to become Emperor for at least that long and probably longer.

>spend 50 years manipulating trade wars and skirmishes for perfect storm to seize power
>be in charge for less than half that time before getting killed by apprentice
>so this... is the power of... rule of 2...

youtube.com/watch?v=A8M3sIjYmO4

he changed the galaxy forever

He was in charge for 20 years. Given the Republic is what? 20,000 years old? Will people even remember in another couple hundred? Half the lore in Star Wars are villains blowing planets up, and Alderaan was no Coruscant.

If you are gonna use the EU, the emperor lived more and blow up more planets

>Half the lore in Star Wars are villains blowing planets up,
Name one other than Malak

And those guys are magically better rulers because they managed to kill their predecessors.

>Name one other than Malak

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mundicide

Yes, specially because nobody followed by Bane, not even Palpatine.

no just wanted to get his money's worth.

>>implying a sith lord is going to slip and die on his own
Vader wasn't stronger than Palpi and he killed Palpi, you don't have to be stronger, just caught him by surprise.

No? they're Dark Side users but no longer sith if you lose the tradition and history.

But Sheev just killed his master in his sleep like a bitch, it's not like he fought him to the death in an epic battle of pure skill.

they were smarter

>After EIII Only a lightsaber can stop a lightsaber REEEEEEEE
>These dues in EIII
Lucas lost his touch a long time ago, if he ever had it, I'm one of those that believe the OT was good because all the other people around him that dared to tell him "No, do it this way, it'll be better" compared to the cowards in the Prequels who said nothing and just bowed to him.

The Rule of Two is just a meme that Palpatine made up so his apprentices wouldn't train people.
Then he'd have tons of secret ones of his own on the side.

Except the rule of two is mentioned by Yoda and Windu as something that Sith have done 1000 years ago before they went "extinct"

He was, I believe in episode 3 sheev said "he will become more powerful than the both of us".

Only vader could beat sheev and everyone knew it.

But that's why it's poetry, user.

E3 Anakin had more potential and was more powerful than Vader, after sustaining all his injuries Vader was only a shadow of his former self, still powerful but not more than Palpatine.

Sheev did it his way and it indicated what he was good at. He didn't kill the Jedi in 1 on 1 combat. His "skill" is different and it was certainly good enough.

>Fucker finds Holocron teaching how to shoot dank lightning
>WE SITH NOW NIGGU
See, it's quite easy

pedo detected

BANE?

Let's be real, you are not going to bang a 22 year old at 37.

>Because finding holocrons is so easy specially if you had no previous knowledge

If you're a dude who doesn't let himself go in his late 30s, you definitely can. Lots of chicks like older guys.

>I haven't read the books but let me tell you the Rule of Two is shit! What if the Sith slips on a banana peel XD!
Jesus

>but why bother having an apprentice at all given the risks?

So that the master doesn't rest on his laurels and always keeps getting stronger knowing there's someone also getting stronger that seeks to kill him and takes is place.

>He didn't kill the Jedi in 1 on 1 combat
Yeah, he just killed like three Jedi masters in a few seconds

>I understand the idea of hoarding knowledge/power,

Darth Bane was expressly against this. He thought that hoarding knowledge for himself only so that it would be lost when he died was a weakness of the Sith. He honestly was against many of the things Palpatine seemed to think are perfectly okay, including having endless apprentices and "dark jedi" running around for no damn reason.

and almost died against windu. order 66 was much more effective than that. my point stands.

Having a hundred different writers and comic book artists make up bullshit rules about a fun Sci-Fi flick for 30 years was a mistake.

Thank God Disney put an end to that crap.

They talk about it in the movies

I mean, Disney is doing the exact same thing. They just started over.

Yeah, in the (((prequels))).

Hopefully they will have some manner of controll and an actual vision, instead of just an insatiable lust for money.

their expanded universe is going to be focus tested shit geared toward selling toys. it will have no heart and will not be able to garner the rabid following that the original EU had. the original EU sucked too for the reasons already mentioned, so the best thing in my opinion would be a long string of box office flops that put the franchise out of its misery

...

Lucas actually had an immense amount of control over canon in the EU. He is just a cook who lets "Rule of Two" and other shit be canon.

What the fuck is the purpose of being a sith?

Why the fuck do you want to kill off SW?

>their expanded universe is going to be focus tested shit geared toward selling toys. it will have no heart

Unlike the artistry and grand visions of the prequels. Remember Jar-Jar? Remember Viceroy Asian Stereotype? I sure am gonna miss Admiral Four-Armed Lightsaber Robot, and his Monocycle Assault Vehicle (sold separatley).

He had the rights to sell the toys. That was the end of his involvement.

like i said, the best hope is to kill the monstrosity off as soon as possible. the fun summer popcorn flick from the 70s has become a shambling nightmare and there is no way to save it. it must be euthanized

it's retarded because it's taking one part from the original trilogy and making their entire culture based around it.

That ship sailed sometime in the mid ninties, though. Probably even earlier. Remember the ewoks?

Red Guards are Sith too. Rule of two is a myth.

>It also makes no sense that they all pay tribute to a law so inherently selfless when their entire order is based on selfishness in the first place
They don't let themselves be killed. No one goes into it expecting to die. They only make sure that when they do that it's by someone who will put their death to worth.

uo are fucking retarded, it all came after a massive lost of the sith to the jedi. Bane thought that the grandiloquence of te sith is what brought them missery and promised to exterminate the jedi for good. He made a plan of slowly infiltrating the republic society and insidiously take advantage and ultimately take control of the republic. Sidous was the one to culminate the grand plan, but the thousand years of building up where thanks to Bane, and it was definetly a great plan.

"Will" is the key word there EIII Vader was more powerfull than OT Vader, he lost lots of lightsaber mastery and force mastery, since supposedly if you lose body parts you get weaker in the force.

does anyone know how far into rogue one you see darth vader in the bacta tank? Thats the only part i want to see

Supposedly sheev was top in lightsaber mastery, honestly i think he let windu win to force anakin to the last step into the dark side.

it would be extremely painful

They allowed him to write 3 books set between episodes VI and VII because he wanted to.

>Wendig was hired to write Aftermath after posting a tweet saying he wanted to write for Star Wars. In the tweet, on September 4, 2014, Wendig wrote: "Dear Internet: I wanna write a licensed STAR WARS novel. Please make this happen. *squeezes Internet hard enough to make wishes fall out*"[5] The request was successful, and Aftermath was released exactly one year after the tweet, on September 4, 2015.[4]
There is no quality control as always, but now it will also be tainted by faggotry

I thought everyone knew this, that's why he was able to force lightning Windu out the window, when Ani stepped in.

So Disney EU will be just as horrendous as Lucas EU. So what? Who even reads that horrible swill anyway?

Yes, he followed the force completely, which is why he wasn't on the Jedi council

He felt the Jedi were too subservient to the Senate rather than following the will of the Force the Jedi council listened to the Senate instead

You want to see it through a camprip? Just wait for the bluray.

Half 37 plus 7 isn't 22
