Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

As stupid as the prequels have been, I never assumed that Yoda's comment meant that the entire Jedi power base was going to be taken down by two guys.

So it kind of works - if Plagueis trained Sidious, Sidious killed Plagueis and began training Maul and then Tyrannous after Maul died and then Vader after Tyrannous died, while Grievous was not actual a Sith or even a Force-wielder, he was simply trained in Jedi fighting techniques - but its a stupid idea cause it does mean that two Sith are supposed to handle the entire Republic and Jedi order.
That's silly - I had never thought of the Emperor as a Sith, simply because if Vader was the Dark Lord of the Sith then he's the man in charge.
Also - Dooku was Yoda's apprentice, Qui-Gon was Dooku's... but that makes Ben's regret in the OT kind of pointless (I thought I could train him as well as Yoda, I failed) since Yoda also stuffed up his apprentice.

Still, at least TPM has some phantom menace in it,
AOTC, which was lame to start with, is not quite so lame as the actual realistic title - Defense by the Clones.
It's interesting that the attack of the clones in AOTC lasts all of five minutes and is only used to deus ex machina between "Jedi fighitng lions" and "Yoda Kenner Action Figure, with Super Grover attack function (batteries not included)"

Yes, there can be only one supreme ruler. But it makes sense for that supreme ruler to have lots of little rulers under him. You know, security in numbers. Besides, it seems that even when there are only 2 they still plot to kill one another at very opportunity.
