Welcome to the Dark Side. This post’s comment section is dedicated to all the angry, inflammatory, defamatory and otherwise outright negative things you might want to express. Not that saying negative things isn’t allowed in the weekly chat corners, but… you know how you sometimes just Have Thoughts about something, and you don’t feel like you can talk about it because everyone around you seems to love it? Those go here.

 

Some rules:

• No personal attacks.
• If you don’t want people replying to you, mention it in the comment.
• Follow the general comm rules.
• …that’s it, I think.

the uniforms -- he's a Classics professor specializing in ancient warfare, so I suppose that's why he notices these details.

"more than two Sith" -- wait, really? I didn't catch that... I thought it was Sidious + Maul, then Sidious + Dooku, then Sidious + Anakin, and all Dooku's own apprentices were not Real Sith (TM). But of course my knowledge of canon is far from 100%.

Well yes, but then there were also further apprentices such as Ventress during Clone Wars and the Inquisitors in Rebels.

Canonically, Ventress is "just" an assassin, i.e. not a Real Sith (TM), and Sidious makes Dooku (try to) kill her when he thinks she's too much of an apprentice to Dooku. I imagine the Inquisitors are, too. Though it's all basically rules lawyering to get around the Rule of Two and include more lightsaber battles.

Heh, pretty much.
