If I remember correctly, the Rule of Two exists because if there was an entire army, they would end up turning on each other. In essence, you can't have an army of Sith because the Dark Side of the Force corrupts to such a degree that they would never get anything done because they would be killing each other. Even in the Master-Apprentice relationship, every Sith Master claimed his title by killing his former Master.

I can buy that. I can see how a bunch of fighting amongst the ranks would be their downfall.
And maybe that would be fun to watch: a movie where all the characters are siths and they just have a royal rumble kind of thing, and the good guys just sit back and laugh?

There was a Sith Order in the future. If I recall, it was about 150 years after Jedi where they abandoned The Rule of Two and one Master started training a Sith army. But he was rebuffed by the keepers of the Sith Holocrons.



Man am I a geek.....:lol:

Gareth Edwards has been gifted the keys to another alternate universe.

The Godzilla director, whose reboot of the classic monster tale has already gobbled up $216 million worldwide, has been chosen to helm one of Disney's promised Star Wars films that will stand alone from the planned trilogy that picks up where Return of the Jedi left off.

The news was posted Thursday on the official Star Wars website. Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli) is writing the screenplay.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life— join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited and honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm," Edwards said in a statement.


And the as-yet untitled film already has an announced release date—Dec. 16, 2016.

Merry Christmas!

Godzilla was only Edwards' second feature directorial effort, the British visual effects specialist's feature debut having come in 2010 with the dystopian sci-fi thriller Monsters.

When Disney first bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion, it was revealed that a number of stand-alone films were being planned that would exist in the same realm but stand apart from the central Star Wars story line that "began" with Episode I—The Phantom Menace (which, of course, was released 22 years after Episode IV—A New Hope, aka Star Wars).

Meanwhile, production is underway on J.J. Abrams' addition to the canon, which reportedly has a working title of Star Wars: Episode VII—The Ancient Fear.

So we're getting a brand new trilogy, AND a stand alone movie/sequel that takes place after Jedi. Makes you wonder just what time period the new trilogy is going to take place in. I like the working title though. "The Ancient Fear."

Harrison Ford breaks ankle on Star Wars film set at Pinewood studios



The BBC understands that Ford, 71, broke his ankle in an incident involving a door at Pinewood Studios.
The Hollywood actor, who starred as Han Solo in the original three Star Wars films and is currently filming the new Episode VII sequel, was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford.

A spokesman for Lucasfilm said filming would continue while he recuperates.

"Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care.

"Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates," a statement from the production company Lucasfilm said on Thursday night.
