      Really the issue here is the reverse - the AUDIENCE is much less familiar with the name "Palpatine" based on the onscreen content of the movies than the characters logically should be The name isn't spoken at all in the OT, because Lucas irl hadn't settled on the details

      IIRC it's in the novelization of the original SW, the one he actually wrote, which I had as a kid. It's in a short prologue page that sets the stage (also indicates he was a weak politician influenced by corrupt advisors, so definitely before he hashed the mastermind stuff out)

      Yeah was gonna say I grew up in the 80s and 90s knowing the Emperor's name was Palpatine long before the prequels but that was because I was an ubernerd

      I don't remember there being anything about the EMPEROR being a Sith Lord until the prequel movies though, even once I knew that Vader was. There was no rule of two pre-1999. The emperor was an evil force user who corrupted Vader; Vader was the Sith lord

      The Rule Of Two is still the absolutely stupidest thing and I hate it more than I hate any other piece of SW "canon." Yes, including midichlorians.

      It seems really risky for an order dedicated to having the student kill the master One backfire that kills both and oops, no more Sith

      AN ENTIRE GALAXY OF TRILLIONS AND YOU HAVE A "TRADITION" OF TWO. FUCKING. PEOPLE! it's a narrative dead end

      I don’t think so. I don’t think having tons of dark Jedi wandering the galaxy makes the setting more interesting. Having them be incredibly rare and frightening is more compelling imo.

      Ehh. I guess it's a cultural bias thing. I usually prefer cultures of X to singular monstrous practitioners

      Okay but the "All the Sith" hivemind retcon in TRoS really *only* works with the Rule of Two, otherwise the concept just falls apart
