- "Palpatine may have nominally adhered to the Sith Rule of Two—a directive which ensured there could only ever be a pair of Sith Lords in existence; a master and an apprentice—but I find it unlikely he wanted to train Skywalker so he could be overthrown."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
Historical Examples and Implications of the Sith Rule of Two was an article authored by the historian Beaumont Kin and published in Volume 3119 of the publication The Lerct Historical Institute Review, published by the Lerct Historical Institute. The article covered the Rule of Two, a Sith directive which ensured there could only be two Sith Lords existing at once, a master and an apprentice. In[1] his[2] 35 ABY[3] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, Kin referenced the article when he noted that while the Sith Lord Darth Sidious nominally followed the Rule of Two, he did not believe Sidious's purpose in training his apprentice, Darth Vader, was for him to be overthrown.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
