| Aug 8, 2015 at 14:00 | comment | added | zxq9 | The whole Rule of Two thing always smelt a bit of retcon to me. When I originally watched Return of the Jedi back in the mists of time, the general sense of the audience was that being dark side was so bad that it just was inconceivable, and the Emperor was trying to start a new clique, essentially. The term "Sith" didn't even exist yet, afaik. So to accept the new spin we have to fire the retcon canon and say/accept "the Emperor wanted whichever of the two was strong enough to defeat the other". Honestly, both versions of the story are pretty awesome. | |

| Apr 29, 2015 at 13:36 | comment | added | Null♦ | @Kevin Sith is a proper noun, as is Rule of Two. And "the Emperor" is capitalized in Star Wars (see, e.g., the Episode VI script). | |

| Apr 28, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | Valorum | Short answer, Vader is damaged goods. Luke = young and powerful. Why wouldn't he want two powerful dark Jedi instead of one? | |
