FWIW, the Rule of Two was retconned in the Rise of Skywalker novel:

----

The Rise of Skywalker novelization provides a solution to the conundrum, in the form of a passage Rey reads from an ancient Jedi text. "The Prime is One, but the Jedi are Many. The Sith were Many but often emerge Ruled by Two." This clarifies that while there can be multiple Sith at any time, they are ruled by the leading two. This scenario would fit the pattern that was set in the supplementary material of two Sith being in charge, and others acting in secret.

This explanation also works on a meta-level -- the reason that Sith lords crop up to violate the clean "Rule of Two" often arises from supplementary works. If everyone pretended that only the movies were in-canon, it wouldn't be a problem. However, Star Wars has a rich expanded universe, set in between the events of the movies. And those supplementary works need villains, which often end up being Sith, regardless of the "Rule of Two."

The latest (and penultimate) clone wars was pretty good, too. I'm not sure what the finale next week is going to entail, but they're definitely going out with a bang.

And I guess I'll finally see Rise of Skywalker next week, since it'll be on D+.

It's about a D+

I saw an article and a youtube video about month ago saying that, but I cannot find them now, so I could be wrong.

This was a flat out bad film. IMO Jar Jar Abrams did a much better job with his Star Trek (2009) reboot (which isn't saying that much but I quite liked the new Star Trek reboot cast compared to the cringeworthy new SW cast)

The finale airs Monday, May 4th, as does RoS and The Mandalorian 8 part doco

Clone Wars finale was moving and chilling.

I'm going to miss that shit.

Don’t we have one more episode?

Yep.

This could go in so many threads, but this one seems most apt.

Full of win

Oh damn. This gonna be awesome.

32 mins from the finale... and I’m going to bed instead.

Hell yeah, I didn't realize I'd be able to watch the finale today!

Taika Watitti confirmed to helm a Star Wars film.

Taika will direct and co-write with screenwriter and Oscar nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (“1917,” “Last Night in Soho”).

I'll be sure to post any details in the coming months that I can share.
