Palpatine Revealed The Sith’s Greatest Weakness – The Rule Of Two

In Star Wars, Palpatine represents the culmination of the Sith and the Rule of Two. Over one thousand years before the Skywalker saga, Darth Bane originally invented the Rule of Two in order to strengthen the Sith. The Rule effectively stopped the Sith from causing their own extinction. By limiting the existence of Sith to two at any given time, Bane eradicated the problem of multiple Sith clamoring over each other for power. Instead, as Yoda put it in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, “Always two, there are. No more. No Less.” Nevertheless, Bane’s Rule had an innate weakness.
