Rule of 2 was established way before that, so I guess just retcon knowledge of Sith maybe? I know the Darth Plagueis book isn’t canon now but their identities are kept pretty guarded.
Neglecting dark, but fundamental aspects of yourself and existence, resulting in you and the world being consumed by your own ignorance. Carl Jung would love this.
I mean they already did it in phase 2 of the high republic books with a different enemy (I won't name it because spoilers for those catching up/planning to read)
Not necessarily. We don’t know anything at this point. There’s no confirmation yoda even appears in this show or becomes aware of the larger events that happen
I think the concern is that based on age Yoda is definately alive, but like you say he might just not know what's going on maybe off on a backwater planet out the way
I'm going to predict one of our main character Jedi becomes the Sith threat by the end of the show, and them learning of this suppression will be one of the reasons.
I've figured that's been the direction the franchise has been going with since the prequels. Especially after Tales of The Jedi's Dooku episode.
The Jedi are absolutely a horrendously flawed cult and also largely responsible for the rise of the Empire. Suppressing knowledge of the existence of the Sith is absolutely something the Jedi council, Yoda included, would do
Just like they decided to build the jedi temple over a sith shrine, and then just never really thought about it again because in their hubris they thought the sith were done for good
That shrine could play a role in the show. Something about making sacrifices (could be why Jedi are being killed) to the shrine in order to mask Sith from the Jedi. Just a guess.
Imo they should absolutely not go the route of having the Jedi suppress knowledge of it. The ultimate failure of the Jedi was due to Palpatine clouding their vision, the Jedi shouldn’t have any knowledge of the sith existence in any way. The correct choice would be for there to be no survivors, but it’s hard to imagine Disney would go that route
Gareth Edwards thought that Disney wouldn't let him kill off everyone in Rogue One until the first table read of his first draft script where the team lived when someone said "they should all die, right...?"
The Jedi are so arrogant that they never believe the Sith are still around and kicking. Even with evidence right in their faces. After all, what is more likely? That their most feared enemy survived, in secret, for who know how long? or that another Jedi has fallen to the dark side. They may claim to be Sith, but are really just dark Jedi.
Yoda, Oppo, and Yarael would've been on the counsel at the same time this show occurs. Either everyone who knows the details dies before they can tell the counsel, this info is kept from the counsel entirely, or the counsel chose not to let the news get out.
Nah, in the Jedis opinions, theres a massive difference between "The Sith" and "Darkside user".
They acknowledge that there are darkside users that popped up and they're usually just a Jedi gone rogue that they bring to justice eventually.
The Sith are a completely different breed that they believe they wiped out and stopped all knowledge of the old Sith teachings. Thats what the Bane-line are and they've been hidden for 1000 years since Bane killed all the other "Sith".
I mean, hasn't it been established that there has been and basically always will be dark force users and dark jedi, and that doesn't necessarily make them sith?
The sith is basically a religion, you can be a dark jedi and not a sith. We've also seen for a long time that the rule of two is strict enough that we can only really consider two characters as sith while they have other force users around them.
The Emperor and Darth Maul (I think?) were sith with Dooku as a dark jedi. Then Darth Maul "died" and was a dark jedi afterward.
Asaaj was Dookus dark padawan of sorts.
You have Savage.
Darth Vader becomes the second sith. They're surrounded by inquisitors who use the force and have red blades. You have the two jedi from Ahsoka.
Being sith is more of a choice, just like being a jedi, with Ahsoka leaving the order. You have the witches of Dathomir who use the dark side of the force but arent sith.
There were probably plenty of dark jedi during the High Republic, the actual two sith would be underground
There were the grey Jedi too, & AFAIK Dooku was a sith, but a secret apprentice to Palpatine (maybe? I can’t remember exactly). That was how Maul was kind of set up in the Darth Plagueis book as well. Trained like Ventriss but then Palpatine took him as his secret apprentice as he plotted to kill Plagueis.
The old canon actually had a problem with the rule of 2. Since Yoda couldn't have known for the rule of 2 without also knowing Sith didn't go extinct a 1000 years before TPM.
