10 Huge Star Wars Plot Holes That Everyone Overlooks
9. The Rule Of Two Makes No Sense
The Sith Rule of Two dictates that only two Sith Lords can exist at any given time - a master and an apprentice.
And yet, this rule - which was first mentioned by Yoda (Frank Oz) in The Phantom Menace - has created quite the massive headache among fans trying to make sense of it.
The wider Star Wars universe has seen the Rule of Two frequently disobeyed, while in the original trilogy itself it's not entirely clear what the outcome would've been had Vader managed to seduce Luke (Mark Hamill) over to the Dark Side alongside himself and the Emperor (Ian McDiarmid), seemingly violating the rule in the process.
While one can argue that the Rule of Two simply isn't as strict a rule as Yoda makes it out to be, in reality this is more likely an inconsistency on George Lucas' side, that Yoda's fateful remark imposed a far stricter set of boundaries on the Sith methodology than it really needed.
