How Every Rule of 2 Sith Apprentice Killed Their Master

What I love about the role of twos is that there is literally hundreds of years of unknown Sith knowledge that somebody can turn into a book for us to enjoy

What the acolyte should have been

[@michaelkarimian7538]

That’s what I love and hate about it. I love it because of how much EU authors gave us the stories of Sith that were at the time unknown and gave them fantastic backstories (For example Bane and Plagueis). I hate it because since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, we’ll likely never know the stories of Sith who’s background’s are (some more than others) a mystery (I would kill for Darth Gravid’s story and Darth Nihilus as well as Tenebrous’s Sith master) Great video by the way!

[@rivenoak]

Cognus is an obvious reference to her abilities but Zannah was just her real name, nothing ominous. Bane named himself so because his father insulted him many times as "bane of his life" bane was angry and as he was strong in the dark side already without knowing it he cursed and wished one night for his father's demise and it worked :)

[@levongevorgyan6789]

I heard that the author didn't intend for Bane to have succeeded, and that Zannah's arm tingle was more just a sign that some part of Bane had affected her, that something of her master would be part of her spirit, but that she was still in control.

[@jrdjr212]

Yes the author stated Zannah was the clear winner and he never intended for the ending to be unclear on that.

[@jw7500]

In my mind this played out as Bane being somewhat of a spectre within the mind of Zannah that would occasionally comment on what she was doing. Kinda like how Bane kept seeing the former trainers of the Sith Academy after he pulled his thoughtbomb gambit.

[@Flaris]

Wasn't intended to be, but it was left unclear. Sometimes authors are unaware of the lore they leave behind until it's out there in the world. So I'd say both options are entirely valid.

[@jrdjr212]

@Flaris except the author himself did an interview and said what the actual ending is, so they can't "both" be valid options. If he never clarified it, then you'd have a point, but he did.

[@kadbenson7540]

I like how wave makes the distinction that sideous’s death was actually perpetrated by anakin and not darth vader, I’m seeing that more and more recently as people are starting to categorize them as two beings as opposed to one, anakin fully locked and transformed into vader when the flames of mustafar baptized him into his new persona, anakin would not be seen for decades except for the few momentary peeps to the surface when vader let his guard down or let his emotions fluctuate to closely to anakins thoughts and heart, the last time we saw anakin before that was him momentarily floating to the top whilst talking to padme on mustafar before being violently shoved back down by vader when he saw Obi wan, the next and even more brief instant was when he was talking to Ashoka when they were both after that holocron with Ezra, after that or before I’m not sure time wise but I think actually before the Ashoka thing was when Obi Wan had given anakin that real genuine apoloy during their fight

[@Vakaria-plays]

The fact that thumble contained the words old age and poison is exactly why the rule of 2 failed and an example of why the old Sith was much more powerful.

[@TheShadow14150]

The old Sith were very powerful, and at large were better than a majority of the rule of 2 Sith. A significant amount of the ancient Sith were blindsided by their hubris, avarice, and rage, they would sooner risk the order than themselves. The dark side is like a poison; it’s more potent when concentrated than distributed among the masses (Darth Bane himself stated this). Some deaths in the rule of 2 may seem like cheap victories, but the master still allowed the apprentice to kill them.

[@Robert_Douglass]

Choose someone with more patience, and you will never block the blade at your throat. Choose someone more devious than you, and you will hold the blade that kills you. Choose someone more clever, and you will never know your end. The warnings of Darth Sidious are better seen as the prerequisites for choosing a proper apprentice, O Master, for so you choose how that apprentice shall end you.

[@scottboa2738]

Darth Zannah was the only Sith to obey the Rule of Two. Darth Bane violated it when he began to train the Huntress while Zannah was still alive. Bane even had her take a new name; Darth Cognus. Cognus violated the Rule of Two when, after her apprentice, Darth Millennial, fought her and left her for dead, and fled. After recovering, she should have hunted Millennial down. Instead, she trained a 2nd apprentice. Centuries later, Darth Gravid never fought and killed his master, Darth Vectivus. Instead, Vectivus retired after promoting Gravid to Dark Lord. According to an old Wookieepedia page, Ventivus died 5 years AFTER Darth Gean, Gravid's apprentice, did. Many times, the apprentice even had an apprentice. Darth Vader violated it by calling himself a Dark Lord. According to the Rule of Two, Vader had to earn the title by fighting and killing his master, Darth Sidious. Sidious violated it many times; by not properly training Vader, and having several apprentices at once.

[@kirkdavis2881]

Zannah waited until Bane started to weaken to challenge him. So they were both cutting corners. Bane really violated the rule when he attempted the essence transfer. He was not accepting his own defeat in a fair fight.

[@jrdjr212]

​@kirkdavis2881 she wasn't waiting until he declined. It would've been impossible to defeat him while he was covered in the orbelisks for one. And he mistakenly believed she was complacent when in reality, she was already planning for the match and searching for an apprentice first.

Bane winning and passing on all the way to Palpatine kinda undermines the Rule of Two principles. The fist clinch Zannah does at the end that Bane did was letting the reader know that even tho the essence transfer failed, some part of Bane still remained.

After Vectivis death his apprentice though a failure still trained another apprentice who eventually killed him or her and probably reminded him or her of their failure before killing them

I question if Darth Vectivus was ever real because he learn about him from Lumia Lady of the Sith who was trying to manipulate Jacen Solo.

Is interesting how despite wanting to be the strongest sith still kept records of what they learned for other sith to study & ultimately become stronger than those who wrote the records

Bane himself was not learned in sith alchemy, so he had to train Zannah with hoarded ancient knowledge he knew next to nothing about and Zannah studied on her own. Zannah on the other hand could not teach much about aggressive lightsaber combat, so it seems the Rule of Two was also a Rule of Second Hand Wisdom and Hearsay for 99% of its time IMHO

I get that it's just a fan film, but is it possible in the lore that light Sabres were built this way?..

Interesting question at the end, what would I do? Well, I see myself as a moderate duelist, but more of a sith sorcerer, so lets start there. As an apprentice, I would probably subtly and slowly over time lay dozens of hexes and curses upon my master, slowly making them paranoid and insane, causing them insomnia and hallucinations that become more vivid and horrific over time. When his mind finally snapped, I would steal his life force and add it to my own. As a master, I would enchant and trap my lair and/or ship with hundreds of wards and sith spells that would ensare, sap, electrocute, and cause my apprentice even more horrific visions and insanity than my master saw, (as well as droid gaurds and automated defenses throughout) and attempt to break them entirely before they could ever reach my chambers.

Bane's method was genius, although if both sith lords had died at anytime they would've been up shit's creek without a paddle. Idk maybe he could have partnered up with one sith as wise as him and have them do the same thing so there were 2 rule of 2 sith groups, in case one died off? Although that would just cause infighting and competition and hindered them, so idk what the solution to that is.

[@HookersAndCoke]

There is some unspoken rule about that. When there is too many the force “balances” itself out. Sidious knew this and that’s why he went after Maul and Savage. They were threatening his master plan and knew he had to take them out. It just isn’t supposed to work, that’s why it’s the Rule of Two. But during the old republic, there was the Sith Empire on Korriban. So I’m not sure how that worked. The army was probably not properly trained in Sith ways. Same with the Inquisitors, they weren’t necessarily full on “Sith”

An idea for a future episode in legends of events following return of the jedi. All the sith lords that luke faced and defeated.

The writer of the novels stated later that Zannah had won, siting the tremors in her hand as simply the effects of the dark side's corruption that had been foreshadowed in the novels with the same thing happening earlier to Bane. This was seen by many as a potential sign of the essence transfer working but according to the author this wasn't the case and instead the ritual failed. Hmm if one of them died without being defeated in any way, dying of old age, and he we never knew his apprentice... Wouldn't that mean the lineage ended? So maybe it started again with someone finding Bane's holocron or something. This part of the lore is very weird. A holocron seams to be the only way this makes any sense, it being found and continuing the lineage.
