The sith have a history (or future) of trying to get a new partner to get rid of their other partner.
Episode II - Dooku offers Obi-Want the chance to turn and kill Sidious (I'm kind of pushing it a bit but I think that was his intention)
Episode III - Sidious gets Anakin to kill Dooku and then later convinces him to turn.
Episode V - Vader tries to convince Luke to join him so they can rule the galaxy as father and son - (same plan he had for him and Padme - he seems to want a friend)
Episode VI - Sidious tells Luke to finish off Vader and "...take your fathers place at my side"
...I think Dooku said something to this effect in the Episode III book, the way of the Sith is treachary....
Endless cycle. Screw the other over before you get screwed yourself, isn't this how all the Sith disappeared to begin with???? According to some EU history, they all kept killing each other?
