    People often write about how the old Sith were causing their own destruction by infighting, but then conveniently ignore that the Rule of Two is infighting pushed to the absolute maximum.
    Bane bases his rule mostly on his philosophy that there is a quantative limit to the dark side, a philosophy that has little to no supporting evidence and in fact the opposite seems to be much more likely, that darkness breeds even more darkness, as seen by the highly diverse and powerful force users in the older Sith Orders. Combined with all the other flaws that the Rule of Two has, it makes it in my opinion the worst possible incarnation of the Sith. They had some success in the short term, but failed to deal a finishing blow to the Jedi and ended up going extinct not long after supposedly winning.
    The most effective model of the Sith Order is in my opinion the Dark Council model of SWTOR, where there are multiple
    powerful Darths controlling a sphere of influence that they are an expert of. That model does still have some flaws, specifically the existence of Vitiate (the Sith would make a pretty good technocracy) and of the Kaggath, but there would be very little complete loss of knowledge with such high organization and the infighting is kept in check by equally powerful Lords and Darths. Unless you're smart about it, just casually killing your rivals will see you punished by the other members of the order, as seen with Zash and Skotia. This promotes intelligence and subterfuge and is a fantastic way to keep skills sharp
    and weed out dumb brutes.Killing your master is also not really a requirement to graduate to a higher rank, even if it often happens anyway.There is a constant influx of new acolytes, making the complete extinction of the Order almost impossible and it allows for nurture and diversification of individual talent, not just the one that is necessary for Bane's "grand plan".
    Feel free to answer with counter arguments, I'd love to discuss this even more. I'm also posting this below several
    other videos about the Rule of Two, so more people can read this.

    • @stephenlee7405
      @stephenlee7405 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like this idea, but infighting will still happen because they are sith and that aggressiveness is the source of their power. When one house or group falls to infighting, the other leaders coming in to finish them off essentially starts more infighting. This method kills off all the people who are aggressive and more sith like and promotes less aggressive sith. Besides, even a powerful sith with his own army will take heavy tolls against an entire army of “weak” sith, which that conflict will weaken the sith overall once again. The rule of two wasn’t to stop infighting, but to make sure the infighting always lead to higher quality sith. The rule of two doesn’t mean there won’t be any more than 2 dark side, just only two powerful darth’s. Sidious and Vader had their inquisitors which they kept weak and didn’t give them any significant dark side knowledge so they could never rise against them. If the sith let more than two sith acquire power, a bunch of sith banding together killing the master will weaken the sith as a whole again and infighting wouldn’t stop there. Sidious kinda dropped the ball and actively kept Vader weak when he saw the opportunity to reign supreme forever. If sidious let Vader grow powerful, who’s to say Vader would lose to luke if not convert him. Besides, the reason luke didn’t strike the emperor in anger and the reason darth Vader saved luke from palpatine was a familial tie that palpatine didn’t stamp out when converting Vader. It wasn’t really the rule of two’s fault the empire failed, but despite that, it was pretty successful.

    • @MegaRogash
      @MegaRogash 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@stephenlee7405 Preventing weak Sith from banding together was a nice idea by Bane, but his solution ended up being the worst one, in my opinion. The apprentice only has to somehow kill a single person to become the Master, instead of politically dealing with multiple Sith of roughly equal strength to enjoy the privileges of their position.
      The Apprentice will very often use every single opportunity to kill off their Master, even if they haven't even learned half of what their Master has to offer. They will train their own secret apprentices (and call them assassins), so they improve their chances against their Master, which is essentially what you're arguing was prevented by the Rule of Two.
      Additionally, any unforeseen accident could eradicate centuries of knowledge.
      The Master could be shot down while in Space, like whenever Palpatine uses his Shuttle to travel anywhere, I always think, "I wonder what he'd do if some warship or battery just opened fire right now." As Force Storms are an invention of third party novels, there isn't really anything he could to do if his opponent just straight up blasted him to hell.
      There was also the time in the comics when he and Vader were stranded on Ryloth, where even if they are guaranteed to always survive the crash because of the Force, they could have just died of thirst if they don't find civilization in time or the revels manage to deny them any access to water. Or Vader, if he was a regular Sith Apprentice, would probably have just used the opportunity to try and kill Sidious, even if he failed. The end result could have been both of them dead and only Inquisitors left to rebuild the order.
      Other "accidents" like cave ins are also taken advantage of by Apprentices, also when the teaching usually isn't fully complete, yet.
      Also if the Master was too strong or lucky and successfully killed all his of Apprentices, then at some point he might just die of old age before having a strong enough successor, who would now also be lacking a majority of knowledge that was acquired over the lifetimes of Sith, once again drastically weakening the order as a whole.
      Bane's idea was that the Master would teach everything they know to one apprentice, who at that point would kill their Master with their knowledge and power over the Force, basically like Zannah did with him. Sadly, it it basically impossible to maintain a system like that for very long, because individual greed and trickery are a natural part of Dark Side users.
      That's why I believe the idea of a true Dark Council model is a far better model, even better if there is no Emperor/Empress at the top. The council promotes specialized talent to lead that sector of the government, so even if their political skills are abysmal, at least they are forced to know what the policies they make are even about.
      If a councilor eventually still desired to become an Emperor, then the others would keep them in check, while at the same time not eradicating the knowledge of the entire Sphere, if it came to that. Similarly skilled successors were plently avaiable throughout the hierarchy. Eliminating one individual who wished to rule supreme would not set the order back by decades or centuries, so it wouldn't really weaken the Sith as a whole.
      There's isn't really any need to quickly kill of your Master, if you can still advance in rank through other ways. Darth Baras somehow became a Darth, while his own Master Darth Vengean was a member of the council, so just competence seemed to be enough to be promoted.
      There was little point to banding together in groups, if your goal was to kill your Master to get promoted. Alliances would obviously still be made, but they would be smaller and also a lot less obvious about what they desire to achieve.
      At least as long as there is no Emperor to serve as a target for such an alliance,.
      Constantly sabotaging your Master might even be bad for the Apprentice in the long run, because the other Sith might view them as the student of someone incompetent, at least before you have already climbed the ranks.
      And as long as the infighting doesn't escalate to using entire power bases against each other (Kaggath), then it is actually a good thing to happen, because that way the Sith will never get complacent during Peace time, while at the same time not risking complete extinction, because there will always be enough Sith somewhere in the Galaxy to rebuild the Order in just a few decades if true misfortune occurs.

      @stephenlee7405 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MegaRogash This just sounds like a bad jedi order tbh, 1 sith assassin is hardly stretching the rule of two, especially since the apprentice would only have 1 assassin at a time to become their own apprentice since the apprentice would also be believing in the rule of two. Sidious would have a much easier time dealing with, say, maul and savage, than with an army of 100 sith. The dark order sounds like a watered down/weak willed or less violent sith empire and doesnt promote improvement nearly as much as the rule of two. Also, the rule of two is to maximize dark side qualities, as in both subterfuge and aggressiveness. In your council, you absolutely have to limit ur violence and eventually churns out a jedi order but with none of the light side benefits while inhibiting dark side benefits.

    • @MegaRogash
      @MegaRogash 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@stephenlee7405 The assassins during canon era are strong enough to be considered as at least half a Sith, which could already give the Apprentice a decisive edge when plotting to kill the Master. It's exactly the type of weakness promoting situation Bane was afraid of, because it's less like building up the tower that represents the cumulative power of the Sith order on existing foundation but rather always cutting of the peak using a ladder to reach the top just a bit faster.
      The Apprentice should only take their own student after becoming the Master themselves.
      You claim the Dark council is watered down and inhibiting, but it had in fact the greatest freedom and diversity of skills, abilities and careers, because the Sith weren't bound to solely complete a single plot to destroy the Jed but instead could follow whatever path they were best suited to. Archeology, Strategy, Biotic Science, Diplomacy, Intelligence, Logistics, Laws and Justice and some more, basically every skill had some use to them. They were actually governing instead of just trying to grasp for power and then failing to hold it. Sith alchemy and sorcery were rigorously studied, and not just the aspects that might be useful for espionage like scrying, but all aspects, just because it was possible. And because they were acting out in the open without the need to hide, they were not restrained by having to maintain their public images but could fully unleash all their desires and ideas without having to hold back. You're projecting the flaws of the Rule of Two onto a system that is the exact opposite of that.
      Just like with Palpatine, having to engage in politics is one of the best ways to train subterfuge, but unlike Palpatine, the Sith of this era had to deal with equally ruthless and ambitious colleagues. Sidious had it pretty easy, because all his rivals and enemies were basically saints in comparison to him and were therefore much easier to fool.
      As for the comparison to the Jedi order, I have recently come to the conclusion, that it would ironically work out much better for both orders, if they swapped their types of governance. The Sith would function at peak power and influence within a Republic or technocratic oligarchy, while the Jedi would actually be best served with a "selfless" autocracy or monarchy.

      @@MegaRogash darths are top tier sith, “half a sith” isn’t particularly worrisome. U forget, darth maul can easily match the upper echelons of the Jedi council and yet he and savage got washed by palpatine with no problem, even as a quote “darth”. This power was the result of the rule of two build up. U constantly are bringing up the most ideal circumstance of, “the sith can study whatever they want” as if this council was the reason they would do that. The sith are powered by hate, this new system will weaken the sith while making them a huge enough target for the Jedi to rally against. The Jedi won’t sit still if this sith system even worked, which I doubt it’ll hold. Especially since we saw how quick the Jedi were to fight in the clone wars to defend a corrupt republic. An existence of a sith empire would just jumpstart the Jedi into full throttle war time. The rule of two maximized sith power while making sure the Jedi never knew of their existence. It also literally worked vs other sith methods. The problem was Vader was being held back by palpatine, which meant palpatine was not following the rule of two, and darth Vader wasn’t a full send bad guy since he still had anakin, a Jedi, still alive in him as well as Luke still running around. If Vader had no familial ties or was full blown sith, he would’ve killed luke like 3 times over, converted him successfully, or not save him when palpatine was killing luke. After luke is dead, leia would have to step up I suppose but I’m not sure how’d she do better than luke if there wasn’t anakin to exploit. Then empire runs on for a whole lot longer till like the yuuzhong vong or whatever(don’t know too too much about legends).

      I am mostly joking, I think it could work. However, it's worth noting that many fans of Star Wars only watch the movies and stay away from the EU. Think back to the Prequels, more than it's acting or pacing, its ideas conflicted with how many viewed those events before the movies came out. The same could happen with KOTOR. For example, i know many fans who prefer the Rule of Two and will only accept the Rule of Two, so making a movie that involves hundreds of sith acolytes will build some controversy.

      This. Bane traded a thousand years of obscurity and struggle for what, 20 years of supremacy? 30? Only for it to all go tits up because one Sith had a change of heart and threw his master down a reactor shaft.
      Even if the individual Sith of the rule of two were more powerful (which is VERY debatable) the order itself only really thrived for a ridiculously brief period, while earlier Sith orders managed to retain power for several decades if not centuries. Bane was one of the worst things to happen to the Sith and if not for Palpatine, they probably wouldn't have amounted to anything at all.

      @@dominict9325 the rule of two was only created for the siths survival. Darth Bane created the rule of two based on Darth Revans holocran. However revans life gives us a clue on why the rule of two wouldn’t work. In the new sith wars (hate that name btw) the problem was multiple apprentices would work together to kill the master which ion know why the have so many apprenticeship in the first place. If Bane had combined the rule of two with the sith empire that would have made discovery much easier. Also multiple sith will receive ancient knowledge and add their own research or experience with the dark side. Which if that’s the case this system will surpass its predecessor. So basically there is only one master and one apprentice but there can be as many duo’s as you want. Infighting is still there but it gives new users positions of power which satisfy everyone. Leading to less infighting. The rule is once you either kill your master or rank up to a Sith Lord then you can have one apprentice unless you die or the apprentice ranks up. (But that’s just how I’d do it if I was in Darth Banes situation).

Plus with all the canon material, there has been more than 2 sith almost consistently through the years. Even during Palpatine's time. Maul survived when Dooku was his apprentice. When Vader was his apprentice Starkiller was Vaders apprentice and so on and so on. I know you'll probably respond with saying they weren't true sith at the time but they were dark side users using sith force powers.
      I just think the ancient sith were more powerful because they had many more challengers than just one apprentice. The 'OG sith had to deal with their apprentice and all the other sites out for their necks. Seems the line after Bane had it a lot easier.

      Firstly, Bane would consider deception, stealth, and alertness forms of strength so anyone stabbed in the back is weak. Secondly, Bane’s only kills on fellow Sith were killing a student in a duel, killing a student in a fight that erupted after he was ambushed, killing his teacher with a force push as he lost a duel, and tricking Kaan into nuking the rest of the Sith which certainly proves their weakness given that they were unambitious and foolish enough to follow him.

    The rule of two never really made sense. Darth Bane failed to see the real weakness of the sith. The number of sith wasn't the problem it was their philosophy. It's their self destructive and power hungry nature which led them to destruction.
    The rule of two, to work, needs the sith to be selfless while asking them to remain selfish in order to become stronger. Realistically with such philosophy, never any master was going to let his aprentice overthrew him. And I can't name any sith of the rule of two who overpowered his master. Each time the master died was either out of pure luck or cheat.
    Bane tried to "save" the sith but didn't want them to really change. Unlike him, Vitiate knew the sith were doomed and left them to create something new. The One sith was arguably the best one, but the nature of the sith overall remained...

    You had everything right except the Hundred Years Darkness. That war was actually the second of four schism wars between the Jedi n Dark Jedi. The Dark Jedi was exiled after the Second Schism War (Hundred Years Darkness - 7000 BBY) n crash landed on Korriban. That is when they started their path to becoming Dark Lords of the Sith. The official first war in Legends between the Jedi and the Sith Lords was the Great Hyperspace War (5000 BBY) which started the era known as the Old Sith Wars (5000 BBY - 3951 BBY). New Sith Wars (3681 BBY - 1000 BBY). Altogether seven eras in Legends: Pre-Republic ( Beginning of the galaxy - 25000 BBY), The Old Republic (25000 BBY - 1000 BBY), Rise of the Empire (1000 BBY - 0 BBY), Rebellion (0 BBY - 5 ABY), New Republic (5 ABY - 25 ABY), New Jedi Order ( 25 ABY - 40 ABY), Legacy (40 ABY - 140 ABY). BBY = Before the Battle of Yavin, ABY = After the Battle of Yavin.

      Btw yes, the Star Forge could have been successful at first, but Death Star can just shoot out the Star Forge, and then Revan cant get more ships, weapons, droids. With his charisma, it is arguable he could still manage to gather some to his side, but a more interesting question would be
      Vitiate's Sith Empire vs Galactic Empire. Given how the lore was a bit twisted so that the old Sith Empire resembled the GE, and given how many powerful Sith and superweapons they owned, let alone Vitiate, I'd argue it would be a bloody fight, and Sidious would eventually lose.
      Maybe not, if he owns the "Republic-Empire' core territories, and Sith Empire owns the old territories, If they would own what after the Treaty of Coruscant, Id say Sith Empire is clear winner. Unless they sabotage themselves as they usually do. In that case, Sidious' centralized Empire has more chances.

The problem is that the Sith don't usually see the political picture. They want power, but they don't consider the way you can secure it - by having an Empire. If you have a sucessfull Empire, you can have endless resources and manpower to pursue your goals. Sith are usually selfish and forget about this. It's always ''let's destroy the Jedi''.

    The era that confuses me the most is the KOTOR to SWTOR era. The sith are there, then they're gone, then they suddenly have an empire, then they're gone again. The prequels make them seem like an ancient enemy long forgotten or seen in the galaxy, but SWTOR and KOTOR sets them up as just another player in the galaxy and not as important or malevolent as the movies made them seem. It's particularly confusing since the SWTOR story is STILL going on and we don't have a conclusion to the empire (for obvious MMO reasons; it's a faction). The eternal empire also confuse me because they're kind of like the empire, yet they're fighting them? And a god tier faction that can mass produce warships like they're peanuts and conquer the galaxy like it's child's play is just... Forgotten about? The old republic era definitely has a lot of holes and weird events to wrap your head around.

On their own, they are not particularly intelligent, but the more you have, the more collectively intelligent and sophisticated they become. They have pretty much kept to themselves staying outside of Citadel space since they overthrew their Quarian masters, kicking them off of their own home planet. Some did split off from the collective whole to join Sovereign (the Reapers), but most of them seem to be indifferent to what happens outside of their own part of the galaxy (at least up to ME2 anyway, still haven't played the 3rd one)
