star wars - When & how did Yoda come to know about the Rule of Two?


At the very end of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Mace Windu and Yoda had this conversation:



Mace Windu: There is no doubt. The mysterious warrior was a Sith.
Yoda: Always two there are....no more...no less. A master and an apprentice.



When did he come to know about the secret Rule of Two? And, how?
Any evidence from Legends?




Answer



In the book Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (pages 134-135), the story of Almas and a Jedi named Kibh Jeen is told. Jeen and his master had gone to the planet Almas in the Cularian system to investigate a "powerful infection of dark side surround the fortress on Almas."


The fortress was known to be "an ancient Sith Fortress" but "the Jedi and the Republic forgot about the Cularin system" until an explorer rediscovered it.


While there, Kibh Jeen killed his master and succumbed to the dark side. He later dominated the minds of some pirates and "unleashed his forces" on the third planet of the Cularin system. This was referred to as the "Dark Jedi Confilct."


After seven years a Jedi Knight and her Padwan organized the Cularin system into an armada and lured the pirates into a trap. Kibh Jean did not escape and



Before he died, he was heard spouting gibberish about there always being no more or less than two Sith.



The entry by Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk (who was headmaster of the Almas Jedi Academy later asked,




Were Kibh Jeen's dying words about the Sith a threat or a warning?



Also, he stated that



Although the answers may be found within that fortress, these are not answers we should pursue without extreme caution.



The Academy at Almas was destroyed during the Jedi Purge, so the confirmation of Jeen's statement about the Rule of Two may have been researched and confirmed. The entry by Master Qel-Bertuk was made in 53 B.B.Y. which would allow for enough time for the question to be answered.

harry potter - Do the Kwikspell courses work?

In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

star trek - Warning regarding forward saucer section in Nemesis?

In Star Trek: Nemesis , just before the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, Picard sends a text message from his captain's chair arm pad to Troi — who is manning the helm in lieu of the crewman who was just blown out through what was once the view screen — indicating that she should put full impulse on standby. (Literally, if you watch the scene closely, Troi's console prefaces the order with "TXT MSG" !) My question is: Did Picard also somehow warn crew members in the forward saucer section about what was about to happen? The ramming of the Scimitar was a heat of the moment decision. Considering that he also resorted to calling the auto-destruct sequence shortly after (which ended up being offline), he probably was of the mindset that any losses would be acceptable in order to hault Shinzon's march to Earth. Still, I'm curious. Answer The original script indicates that he called for the crew to " brace for impact ". Whether that call (or the comma...

star wars - What "exactly" happens when someone turns to the Dark Side?

When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. The same would hold true for Anakin. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clums...
