That's right, though bear in mind 'Apprentice' just means the junior one, not necessarily someone still in training.
George Lucas describes it thusly:
"One of the themes throughout the films is that the Sith lords, when they started out thousands of years ago, embraced the dark side. They were greedy and self-centered and they all wanted to take over, so they killed each other. Eventually, there was only one left, and that one took on an apprentice. And for thousands of years, the master would teach the apprentice, the master would die, the apprentice would then teach another apprentice, become the master, and so on. But there could never be any more than two of them, because if there were, they would try to get rid of the leader, which is exactly what Vader was trying to do, and that's exactly what the Emperor was trying to do. The Emperor was trying to get rid of Vader, and Vader was trying to get rid of the Emperor. And that is the antithesis of a symbiotic relationship, in which if you do that, you become cancer, and you eventually kill the host, and everything dies."
The point being that if there are ever more than two Sith, they become too divisive to be effective.
Ok but how about in Ep3 ? There will be dooku at first. Then he will die so the emperor will pick up grevious or will he still wait to recruit anakin ? Because we all know that both will be villains in this ep3. And if the emperor plans on recruiting anaking for a long time then it means grevious is not a sith or either the emperor is taking him for a short term job hoping anakin will kill him later... lot's of confusion in this.
I heard somewhere that Dark Jedi were just Jedi who had turned bad but still had the same powers as regular Jedi. Sith have a special magic they use that no one else knows about, so after all the Sith are destroyed there can be no more Sith because no one else knows about the magic. Don`t know if it`s true or not, I just heard it somewhere.
