Similar but if it happens earlier.

@Dogg  
This is your first encounter with fan art, I’m assuming…

fake

@thps48  
So long as it isn’t “briny deeps”. Again.

@redweasel  
Or with their mouths not nearly as popped out.

@Background Pony #65A4  
Looks more like mid guffaw.

@Background Pony #65A4  
You didn’t see a truly derped pony face.

@Background Pony #65A4  
pony berserker will learn to draw ponies who aren’t always sticking out their tongues, one of these days.

Starlight’s face is a derp.

wait, you mean you’re not supposed to do that to your friends?
 
damn I need to rewatch that episode.
 
also I might have a few lobotomies to reverse.

@Takashi.0  
Yeah, but by now too much time has passed and Starlight’s not a good enough actress to have kept up the ruse that long.

PonyBerserker sure likes showing off teeth and tongues, btw.

@Jarkes  
It would’ve worked if it was the season opener.
 
Or maybe a different her from an alternate timeline.

One other thing: It’s possible Ezra Bridger will become a new type of Force Wielder, combining light and dark, though, from what I’ve heard about Old Republic and read in these comments, his future role won’t be completely new-ish. :3

@Solitude  
Ah, it was Darth Bane. That does explain a lot actually.
 
It was logical for the time being, but it wasn’t gonna work nearly as well.

@noobiestbrony  
I’m hardly knowledgeable about the greater Star Wars mythos but that seemed like the most logical reason.
 
And according to a quick search I wasn’t that far off.
 
You raise a good point too since apparently that’s what happened.

@Solitude  
That I’m not entirely sure about. I’ll be honest, I know more about the old republic era than I do about the rise of the Empire. But that would make sense. Sith are often fighting each other. Some even have good intentions, and use the light side of the force, which caused even more tension among them. I can see why they would have only two Sith at a time, but again, it isnt practical. If one decides to turn against the other, then the Empire crumbles to the ground. It’s exactly what happened in Return of the Jedi when Vader threw Sidious off the platform. The Empire took a nearly unrecoverable blow. And unless you like Disney’s new canon and ignore the EU stories, they didn’t pose a threat for several years until Dark Jedi (like Desaan) rose to power.

@noobiestbrony  
Wasn’t that rule to put an end to the constant powerplays, backstabbing and infighting going on between the Sith?

@PonyPon  
Well, my opinion remains. Even if he didn’t make it, I still don’t like the rule nor do I like Sidious. Now, Lord Vitiate/Valkorion from The Old Republic…that’s one badass emperor.
 
Whichever Sith made that rule obviously didn’t realize that having only 2 Sith at any given time had disastrous consequences in the end. If one turns against the other? That’s it. The Sith empire gets destroyed.

@noobiestbrony  
I think it was some other sith that made that rule, after a whole bunch got wasted.

@SaburoDaimando  

@ImRaidAccount  
The Rule of Two is a very poor rule that I believe isnt really an important part of the universe. Given that miraculously, before and after Palpatine’s rule, there could be hundreds to thousands of Sith at one time, and at least 8 or so were on the dark council. This is why I don’t really like Palpatine. He didn’t do anything that hadn’t already been done before, and he made rules that were honestly just there for plot convenience. Just my silly opinion though. :P

@SaburoDaimando  
If true then she has violated the Rule of Two.

Big deal. I heard Twilight is secretly training Starlight into becoming a Sith Lord.

Hmm.. If true, Starlight could have ordered Twilight’s friends to destroy her when she got back from Canterlot.
 
Its what I would have done. She had the element of surprise and 5 mind controlled ponies. Revenge would be so easy.
 
Forcing Twilight to harm her own friends or siccing her own friends on her would be better than what most finale villains have done.
 
That’s just my thoughts though :D
