Thank you!

How do you rp in orange text when speaking / acting in character? I just can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

(Not sure if this is where to do this but thought I'd give it a shot) In the midst of a crowded spaceport on Coruscant, a lone Cathar stands in a corner observing the comings and goings of the people. He seems to be looking for someone with his piercing red eyes...

Maul hasn't been announced to be in any upcoming projects.

No, but I won't spoil what happens.

There is actually a canon comic on what happened after the events of that episode. Sidious has him interrogated and tortured for information.

He didn't make him his apprentice though, in fact he told him that he and his brother weren't Sith. And at that time Dooku was his apprentice, not Vader.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Maul ceased to be Palpatine's apprentice after the Battle of Naboo.

Those aren't canon though.

Darth Maul was not Sidious' apprentice when Vader was.

What else is there? That's all the rule of two is. A rule to prevent the infighting and greed that destroyed the old Sith order by having only two of them. Please provide a canon source that gives another aspect to it. Not trying to be malicious, just really into Star Wars

But the point is that Sidious followed what the Rule actually said and required of the order. Besides, if he intended Vader to become more powerful than him, and later Luke, how was he not training a successor?

The rule of two is quite simple. "Always two, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice." Sidious observed that to the letter.

Sidious tells Yoda in ep. III that Darth Vader will become more powerful than either one of them. Meaning that at the time he expected Vader to surpass and kill him, and he was delighting in that. He even tempts Luke to kill him, believing whatever Luke decides, Sidious wins. It's also my understanding that he planned on being the final Sith Lord and never dying anyway. Besides the Rule of Two is quite simple. "Always two. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice." That's it, and the emperor observed it.

Darth Sidious was the most powerful Sith who ever lived, the only one to ever dominate the whole galaxy. He was both intelligent and strong. He would beat Vitiate quite easily.
