The Rise of Skywalkerdoesn’t reveal much about the Sith Eternal , but necktie - ins have launch that the fad was active during the reign of the Empire , worship Palpatine and collaborating with him in his cloning experimentation - as well as on his Xyston - class Star Destroyers . Some extremity of the Sith Eternal , know as " Tankers , " were extremely powerful personnel - sensible organism who even serve as a potential renewal for Darth Vader .

The Sith Eternal Seem To Break The Rule Of Two
Shouldn’t there only ever be two Sith at a time?
A thousand years before the Skywalker saga , Darth Bane base the Sith Rule of Two . He mandated that there should only be two Dark Lords of the Sith at any one time , helping palliate inevitable Sith treachery and serving as a stand - in for the older Doctrine of the Dyad . The kernel job , though , is thatthe existence of the Sith Eternal appears to breaks the Rule of Two- especially the presence of Force - sensitives among their number . Had Palpatine sell this essential Sith tenet , or is something more complex depart on ?
Star Wars Is Introducing A Level Of Sith BELOW Master & Apprentice
The hierarchy of the Sith is changing
In theStar WarsLegends continuity , there were manyranks and sect of Sith- and one of the most easily look across is the Acolyte . A Sith Acolyte is basically a cultist , a follower of the Sith who swears to function them but is not given enough teaching to ascend any high-pitched . Sith Acolytes were coarse before the Rule of Two , but became rare after Darth Bane reformed the Sith . They had something of a comeback during the Clone Wars , with Count Dooku cave in this title ( along with the even rarer Sith Knight ) to his unofficial Sith underlings .
Now it seems Acolytes are officially yield to canon . According to showrunner Leslye Headland , The AcolyteTV show take up on Legends loreto reintroduce the concept . As she explained :
" It ’s a side , fundamentally , that someone is going to fulfil , or step into . We know with the Sith that there is a Master , we know that there is an Apprentice . But in thick EU ( Extended Universe ) , there ’s a concept of an Acolyte , which is underneath Apprentice . So that is where I got the title from . "
This would earmark trained Sith in all but name to exist among the rightful Dark Lords without breaking the Rule of Two . It would fix the canon power structure of the Sith , resolving many continuity trouble . The Acolyte’spotential revival of this concept would also bear upon the member of the Sith Eternal .
The Sith Eternal Are Palpatine’s Acolytes
It is safe to assume most member of the Sith Eternal are not Force - sensitive , despite cling to Sith school of thought and culture . The Tankers and any other cultist who do present forcefulness - sensitivity , however , can simply be redefine as Sith Acolytes , allowing them to officiate as Sith without breaking the Rule of Two . Indeed , Palpatine may well have count the Knights of Ren as Acolytes as well .
It must be noted that Palpatine seems to have move beyond the Rule of Two after his resurrection . He never explicitly recruited a fresh apprentice , mean the line of Darth Bane ’s Sith ended after his death . Palpatine take care himself as the end of the Sith , the culmination of all their plans , and he had no design of encouraging the Sith to keep on after the events ofStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker .
