I think this is just more proof that George Lucas didn't have the PT written way back when he first made the OT... Also, what the hell was he doing in that, like, 20 year break or whatever between the OT and the PT? I mean, he obviously wasn't writtin the PT, or else there wouldn't be so many plot holes and inconsistencies!
After Jedi he got divorced and, his ex got 24 million in the settlement. So, he had to build up that money again.
I think the reason Padawan doesn't show up in the OT is becuase, it's not usefull anymore. The Sith don't use it. Obiwan and, Yoda haven't called anyone Padawan since the old days(not only that but, there trying to fit as, much training as, possible in for Luke. Not waist time making him study ranks).
Though, the "rule of two" can easily be arguable that it doesn't apply at all(in the PT or, the OT). Why? Well, only Yoda says anything about it and, it's not brought up again. If I recall correctly Greivous said that he was trained by Dooku. Why would Sidious allow that training to go on if that was a rule? In the OT they're both trying to turn Luke to the Dark Side. Why are they trying to do that if there was a "rule of two"? Why not just kill him? I understand that Vader was his father but, Sidious has no attachment to Luke at all.
