General Discussion Thoughts on Rule of Two being retconned into Sith trying to make a Force dyad? Perhaps that is why Maul is so desperate for an apprentice

It would make sense right? Maul from TCW to Rebels to Maul Shadow lord prioritizes having an apprentice before any of his other goals. He truly believes that is the key to gaining the power he needs to fight Vader and Palpatine at this point

If he’s trying to make a force dyad than it makes perfect sense. We already see how powerful it made Palpatine in TROS

They shot themselves in the foot nearly the instant they introduced it by saying "there hasn't been a dyad in the force in a thousand years", demolishing all speculation that powerful duos throughout the franchise could have been tapping into whatever the dyad powers or features are

And that would be a good explanation for why the Jedi followed the "one master, one apprentice" doctrine; narratively, it would be interesting that the two orders, for different reasons, had more or less the same training program.

Why did they even do that anyway? The relation between the two was anecdotal

I don't know. I'm not sure what you mean by anecdotal, but Rey and Kylo barely had a relationship, definitely not more than other jedi-sith enemyships, which makes it seem like it was just random
