Well, (Lucas speaking mode:) even in the original trilogy there is an echo of that "rule of two", when Vader asks Luke to join him so they can destroy the Emperor and rule the galaxie as father and son. Vader knows that once Luke is converted to the dark side, the Emperor will not need him anymore.
It's fine that there is such a rule but is there a reason it has to be spoken?
