I've learned not to look that deeply into what people say as it's mostly a reflection of themselves. Honesty's an attribute of the truly brave- a privilege of the very few.
Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil

It's presumably the best SW novel trilogy about Sith as it portrays the transformation of the Sith order in a sublime way: from a fanciful Sith Academy that deviates from true pursuit of unlimited power, to the Rule of Two that explicitly indicates that power has to be consolidated and fully embraced only by one real lord of the Sith who possesses one lustful apprentice that will surpass the master and will seize the power for him/her-self. One to embody power, the other to crave it.
The rule of Two was apparently superseded by Sidious when he chose to eternally rule the galaxy as an individual. Episode IX is quite confusing as it clearly mentions that Sidious had died before, which implies that either his spirit can possess another individual via transfer essence power or that all Sith live in him as though he was an avatar(Air-bender cartoon).
Can anyone shed some light on the Rule of Two in sequel trilogy as it seems there's merely a master and puppet that will never attain ultimate power. It's more of a deceit game as if one was to embody power and the other was supposed to utterly submit him/her-self to the master.
Sidious marvelously designed Big Smoke as his ultimate, very cunning, powerful toy and puppet, not a real successor. So, Pulp's plan was to get rid of all obstacles and to rule the galaxy as the true emperor.
It's as though Pulp's spirit was to erase Rey's consciousness and take over her body.
I presume that Pulp would have possessed Rey's mind had she not died at the end of their duel. Ben revived Rey later on. So, Pulp's spirit vanished into thin air as he had no body to possess.
I actually liked Darth Plagueis more than the Darth Bane trilogy tho both were awesome unlike pretty much everything Disney authored.
I'm under the impression that Disney has estimated their choices. They decided to neatly map out the future of this franchise. We've got a very promising TV series coming out in 2022 "Obi-Wan Kenobi" which was promoted by Evan McGregor saying it's better, more realistic than the prequels.
If I was to choose between these 2 books, I'd go for Darth Plagueis as it deserves a film adaptation or even a short series.
Yup. Disney's comics and books aren't as captivating as the old EU. And the fact that they can overwrite it or cherry-pick, draw from it is quite distressing.
There's something pretty special I'm looking forward to and that's the continuation of the KOTOR series. The 3rd entry should revive SW fans, but the TOR game should be dismissed at this point. And it's a good thing that Disney gave other game companies the opportunity to create SW games.
