When Darth Vader and Darth Maul face up off in battle during aStar WarsLegends , they let on thatEmperor Palpatineisn’t as consecrated toSithdoctrine as he would have them believe .
Emperor Palpatine , screw by the Sith name Darth Sidious , has had several apprentices throughout theStar Warsseries . Besides Count Dooku , both Darth Vader and Darth Maul were enormously strong .

Taking place in the Legends storyStar Wars Tales # 9 , which was written by Ron Marz and instance by Rick Leonardi , the battle is fairly evenly matched . During the battle , Darth Maul takes out a bridge deck that get both him and Darth Vader to drop . Darth Maul notice that Vader land gracefully . Darth Maul then cites a teaching from Palpatine that Sith are never supposed to break a pin because if they do so then they are prepared to strike in the first lieu . " Sith do not fall , " he concludes . Vader then compliments Darth Maul that Palpatine learn him well , confirming that this fact about falling isindeed part of Sith philosophy .
The strange matter about this rule though is that Palpatine betrays it himself . He is quite literally shoot down by a dusk inReturn of the Jediwhen Darth Vader throws him down a reactor cock in the second Death Star . And not only is a fall the method acting of his demise , he is also very much prepared for it , so much so that he clones his body so as to finally uprise again years by and by , as seen inThe Rise of Skywalker .
This run into the hypothesis that Emperor Palpatine was actually a Sith heretic at heart . In the former days of the Empire he actually tried to exchange Vader using technology developed by a scientist named Cylo . At the fourth dimension , Darth Vader declare this Sith heresy . Then again , since Sith cherish survival and conquest at all price , perhaps there is no veridical Sith school of thought . All that count is gain and destroying the enemy no matter what . In that case , it ’s something thatSithlords like Darth Maul and Darth Vader have in common as they fight forEmperor Palpatine’sapproval .
