This may be a n00b question (I'm not really well informed on the prequels) but can anyone confirm that the "rule of two" isn't a fan invention? Someone misunderstood Yoda and suddenly it became canon...? But of course, nothing in the PT is canon.

All in all, I don't mind the rule too much... after all, the Sith did have to stay "under the radar" until the time was right. Besides all that "clouded by the dark side" crap it seems reasonable that if there were hundreds of Sith running around SOME Jedi would have noticed them no matter how dense they were.
What there should have been was fewer Jedi, making them easier to defeat. The Republic was in decline, it makes sense that the Order would be too in a sense. They were far removed from their Golden Age. Fewer numbers, spread out across the galaxy. Quality over quantity. Episode 1 should have give us the sense, at least, that they had their hands full dealing with all the problems the corrupt Republic government was causing (or allowing to happen). Then BOOM! the Clone Wars hits, which further decreases their numbers and makes them easy prey for a devious Sith Lord and his powerful apprentice. Vader picks them off one by one before they even know what hit them.

If the sith put these stupid rules on themselves, I'm suprised they are still around.

Exactly my point. Noone on this board has yet to confirm that the "rule of two" was intentional or canon. I still believe it was due to fans or comicbook writers misunderstanding Yoda. Correct me if I'm wrong...

beside which Star Wars, yes the beloved trilogy was directly ripped of a novel (of which most copies mysteriously dissapeared) which is being scanned by a friend of mine and posted somewhere, i will keep you posted...
it was written in the 1920s i believe... but annyway... the rule of two is much like the trip through the plannet core...
best ignored!!!

I don't mean there have to be as many Suth Lords as jedi. 13 Sith Lords would be sufficient for me.
But I really think there should be an amount like around a 100 or so. I always envisioned that the Sit lords were around the same time as the jedi and because of the wars and purges, there numbers dwindled the same as the jedi's did. There are only two Sith lords in the OT films because those were the only ones to survive.
I also imagine that the Emperor killed a few of his own Sith Lords in disputes and power struggles.
BTW The rule is also not adhered to that well, either. You had Darth Sidiou,, Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus all around in PT films. That's three Sith Lords.

I imagine that a thousand odd Jedi could somehow find it in themselves to pool there resources and concentrate really hard on finding and eliminating just two sith Lords.
I mean really. I know the galaxy is vast and all, but if you knew that just killing two Sith lords is all it takes to save the Galaxy from decades of despair, don't you think you might be able wise to pool all your resources into eliminating these two guys.
I mean what the hell were the jedi doing all those years between TPM and ATOC???? Just sitting in that damn room in Coruscant sipping ractoginos or something. Shouldn't someone like have pointed out "Hey, you know, Yasrael Poof!, if we actually got all our Jedi's together and really worked hard we could actually end the Sith Lord threat by killing just two Sith . Hell it isn;t even two Sith, we killed one Sith in Darth Maul. Hey we kill Darth Sidous and that's it. Hey you know something???? There might be a connection between Palpatine and Darth Sidious...hmmm......let's start an investigation......."
.............and while we are it... that whiny Anakin bitch, too is bad news too............let's off him to..............I know it might not be the nicest thing to do.........but why take chances..."

But not if they didn't know they were there, or where to find them even if they did know... which was the whole point of having only a few Sith, working 'behind the scenes' to destroy the Republic. To be honest I think it works better that way; if there were a hundred Sith, they would find it much harder to stay out of sight, almost certainly making it more likely that they'd be destroyed by the Jedi (who would still greatly outnumber them, after all). It also fits in better with the OT; the Sith were barely mentioned, and it was certainly never suggested that there had been hundreds of them around only a few years ago.

Doku:"really? your powers are a credit to you old friend."
Yoda:"hmmp... the light side, always is..."
Doku:"No, really! I mean after that war, and trying to kill Obi, Ani, and Padmi, or should i say: Huey, Duey, Luey, over there... and attacking both your students, just then cutting off little anis arm... you stroll in here and sense it! My word that's amazing... you should get YOUR OWN GODAMNED SHOW, called : Crossing over with YODA!!!"
Yoda:"hmmp... much anger I-"
Doku:"Don't say it man! I'm shouting, you sense nothing!!! Ani there has being saying his plans to rule the universe out loud for almost a year now... you sensed nothing. Palpatine wears a hood to do evil, you sense nothing, I had to book out a whole freeking stadium before i could convince you to 'sense' the dark side in me!"
Yoda:[i]"hmmmmmp"
Doku:"it's lift this, and levitate that! that's all you could ever do... you suck, like no one has ever sucked before, old friend. stick to tarot cards or something! I've got space station to build...
yes, I'm telling you now, so you can 'sense' it later!!! Nimrod!"
