Everyone remembers the Emperor going down the reactor shaft. That was the fourteenth time Vader moved against his master, not the first. The thirteen before it include a secret droid army, a robbery against his own Empire, a faked execution, and one moment where he physically threw Palpatine into a wall — years before Endor.

A transmission from The Archives of Coruscant.

The rule this list runs on, stated out loud, so the count holds up.
Why the famous Bespin line is not the shared plan almost everyone remembers.
How Vader built a factory, an army and a payroll his master was never told about.
The one canon moment before Endor where he put hands on Palpatine.
What the Emperor said when he was finally handed proof of all of it.

Every entry is drawn from canon: the films plus the Marvel Darth Vader runs by Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule and Greg Pak. Force visions and unacted intentions were deliberately left out of the count.

Which of the fourteen did you not know about, and does number twelve change how you read the Rule of Two?
