Is there a “Rule-of-Two” for Sith Lords?

This came about after reading a forum on StarWarsGalaxies.com. Here’s my thinking:
1. Darth Tyrannus is a pretty old guy — an ex-Jedi. So he’s been around for a while. He’s been around since Darth Maul was around, and maybe he wasn’t a dark Jedi while Darth Maul lived, but it’s more than likely that he was jaded at the same time Darth Maul was killing good-guys. That would make three Sith(s). Or at the very least, two Sith(s) with one “on deck.”
2. People may be generally misinterpreting Yoda’s statement to mean “only two at any given time,” rather than the more plausible explanation of “for each master, there is one apprentice,” such as is the case with all Jedi (i.e. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon). This would open the realm for more story potential, and would also explain why every time a Sith is killed, another one seems to spring into action.
3. There may also be a possibility that not all Jedis are good, and not all are Sith (i.e. no Yin-Yang). This jibes with the whole Lucas Arts “approved” Jedi Knight II game, suggesting that you could be a disgruntled ex-Jedi (like Kyle), or a dark Jedi (not necessarily a Sith).

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
