At what point in the episode was the scene added?
The very start... Holo of Vader talking to the Inquisitor...

yup. it was added right at the beginning as the new opening scene before the Rebels Logo comes on... if you turned it on late you missed it ...and a lot of my friends missed it!The very start... Holo of Vader talking to the Inquisitor...
No, both of them are not Sith. They are force users but not trained in the ways of the sith. The basic idea (as I understand it) is that the force is like wifi broadband. The more people you have tapping into it, the weaker the signal. By limiting it to two beings, they will have a strong hold of the force.

I thought it would be added to the end and they would make you watch the whole show to see it... so I was surprised there wasn't additional added scene nearer to the end... so, you could just watch the intro and turn the channel... I watched the whole thing though... It was a very well done added scene and James Earl Jones was perfect!

That's an interesting take on it, but from what I've read it's more about the Sith's desire for power and dominance. When there were more Sith, they spent more time fighting with each other than the Jedi. Then Darth Bane (?) established the "rule of two". "Always two there are. A master and an apprentice." The Jedi mistakenly believed they'd defeated the Sith when it was actually a self imposed reduction.
But even the rule of two isn't perfect. The apprentice often takes on an apprentice, biding their time until they can kill off the master and take his place.
So, while there can be many trained in the dark arts, only two are "officially" Sith. I could be wrong though...
[h=3]DARTH BANE[/h]An ancient and legendary Sith Lord, it was Darth Bane who saw that the Sith traditions of old were ultimately a dead end. All too often, squabbling Sith in their bid for power upended carefully laid plans. After the Sith were decimated by the Jedi Knights of a thousand years ago, Bane enacted the Sith rule of two: there would be only two active Sith at one time -- a Dark Lord to embody the power, and an apprentice to crave it. These Sith would operate in the shadows, favoring guile and conspiracy to bring down their opponents rather than brute force -- that is, until it was time to rise and subjugate the galaxy.

As far as I know, since the scrapping of the previously known EU, no mention has been made to Darth Bane so he may no longer be canon either.
The design of Vader is very reminiscent of these....View attachment 395345View attachment 395348
Actually, the show's disruptor model was based on one from SWG. Clone Wars always seemed to be more okay with nods to video games than other EU because there was already a visual point of reference, though in this case I think the nod was more to the Han Solo adventures and Galaxies just provided the look.

His spirit was in an episode in season 6 of CW. I would assume season 6 is canon like the rest of CW, if so then Darth Bane is as well.

Correct!
Any show that references SWG gets brownie points with me
It's been established many times by the developers that they are basing the look of the show off the old McQuarrie drawings. Personally I don't really see that influence much since McQaurrie didn't make a Clone Wars cartoon, but in some cases, like the helmet, it is very evident. Cool!

The rule of two is yet ANOTHER example of Lucas painting himself into a corner with the PT. It's stupid, and if JJ has any sense at all, he'll write some variation on the following:
"I thought there could be only two?"
"That's what we believed. It seems we were wrong."
BAM, back on track. Now you can have alllll the red-sabered baddies you want without having to resort to this kind of contorted borderline-theological debate about "sith" vs "dark force adept."
There's actually a good bit of McQuarrie influence in Rebels, the biggest being Zeb, who is based on early McQuarrie concepts for Chewie. More subtle are the TIE fighters which have stubbier wings than what we see in the movies, and there are background characters that are based on unused McQuarrie concepts as well.
