Bane: You should use this absolutely suicidal explosive ritual to kill our mutual enemy. Also I shouldn't be nearby when you do it. Khan: That sounds good to me.
Kahn was weak. Bane was right to destroy the brotherhood. Emperor from nathema executed a better plan. Make yourself far stronger while destroying fellow sith. What of the emperors wrath tho... Who lit the candle at the end of apocalypse... Crucible will always stand in place of ep 7,8,9

“Take what makes you weak, and transform it into something that makes you strong” Darth Bane is my favorite Star Wars character hands down. From a meagre miner on a backwater world, to the Sith Lord that would change the course of history itself, Bane is one of the most powerful and influential Sith to ever live. I could listen to the Bane trilogy a dozen times over and never get bored of it.
The dark side of the force is not fire, the dark side is venom, if it is poured into too many cups it will become so diluted that it is little more then an irritant, however, pour all those cups back into one vessel, and you will have the power to stop a Kryat dragon's heart.
@N why? what this MEANS is not that the dark side is stronger when there is only one wielder, it means it's more effective when you don't have a while army to draw the attention of the Jedi. By having only two you also don't have in fighting which reduces your numbers and hurts your goal. Read it again because my understanding of the English language is just fine. It's like in the Courtship of Princess Leia when Luke comes to the realization that the force is everywhere and he isn't syphoning it like a parasite but it is in such abundance that it can never be over used or drain completely. Derp.
Everyone who loves Legends say that the Thrawn Trilogy was their favorite EU story. For me personally, it was the Darth Bane Trilogy that made me very interested in Expanded Universe.
Excellent video! Darth Bane is my absolute favorite sith, the reason why is because he is not evil for evils sake. He has a vision and the will to make it happen which makes him so compelling.
It's also worth mentioning that Zannah's original apprentice, the dark Jedi Set Harth, betrayed Zannah and left Doan with Darth Andeddu's holocron. He is seen at the end of the third book in an unknown location opening Andeddu's holocron to learn the secrets of Force essence transfer.
Harth lived on through the centuries after mastering the transfer living in clone bodies of himself for over a century.he lived to see the yuzhan vong war. Adenddu holocron was found by dooku on korriban. It was never explained how dooku got it and why set would leave it behind
@@PGGreatOak Darth Bane is in Clone Wars. When Yoda works with the Force Wills (spelling) he goes to Darth Bane’s burial site and encounters Darth Bane’s Force apparition. The Clone Wars is canon.
@@PGGreatOak Technically correct, and they have confirmed that Zannah was his apprentice, but they haven't confirmed anything beyond that as canon. I imagine they will expand on it and mostly keep to the original story, given how popular it was with the old school fans and it wouldn't really conflict too much with what they wrote. As long as they mostly keep to it in terms of his personal story and scheming, I'm cool with whatever they do.
Thank you so much for this video! The rule of two never made sense to me until now. I didn't understand why a Sith Lord would want less Sith to rule over, much less that he would make a rule that he would expect later generations of Sith to follow....and that those Sith would follow the rule just because he said so. Based on what you said here, it looks like Bane only had one goal in mind, destroying the Jedi, and he believed (correctly) that the best way to do that was to focus the Dark Side of the Force on himself and his apprentice rather than on the multiple Sith across the galaxy. The only reason why this idea became a rule was because Darth Bane's apprentice agreed that this was a good idea and therefore passed it down by tradition.
OMG the "thought bomb" was the Valley of the Jedi the whole time!?! You're blowing my mind right now! I knew Ruusan was where the Valley is, I thought it was a weird coincidence, but that's awesome. Seriously love how connected the EU was, things that happened thousands of years ago in a comic, get resolved thousands of years later in an otherwise unrelated video game. These videos are great, this one in particular was super engaging. Keep up the good work my dude.
Quality control. The Star Wars EU was edited properly to form one giant narrative, with contradictions kept much lower than many other novel series. It cost a lot of time and money, but vastly improved the quality as a whole.
@@mrgreatbigmoose Nah man. LF didnt do a very good job of quality control until the early 2000s and even then it was... meh.... solid. The reason why we saw the connections we did and why history flowed so well was because it was the same group of writers doing most of the old EU books. They did a good job of communicating stories and ideas with one another and the story group basically allowed them to do what they wanted and made minimal corrections and/or changes.
All the spirits were trapped until Kyle Katarn freed them. (Headcanon for me is that the "Darth Bane Trilogy"is canon, and everyone else can shut up if they disagree. Even Disney.)
Read the books. Totally worth it. Darth Bane is a monster. Love him. Plus, I think he lived on in Zanna. Her hand was shaking at the end ;-) Disney would make billions off Darth Bane movies.
Disney already turned him into a dull character. He went from: the man that manipulated the brotherhood of darkness into committing suicide because he believed that they were a mockery of what Sith are supposed to be thus creating the rule of two and dieing in combat by his appearance zannah, to the guy who somehow survived the war with the jedi create the rule of two and then got killed by the jedi a couple years later.
@No Body I wouldn't call the story stupid but I agree with the "spreading thin" thing. The author should have just left it at "dark side users will always turn on each other" and be done with it. Otherwise, the story was fine. I think the plot holes were there simply because the books would have been 2 thousand pages each if they were not.
I remember getting the Darth Maul covered edition before the movie was released. It blew my 13 yr old mind when Qui-gon (sp?) died. I was so obsessed with episode 1, i even collected all 24 pepsi product cans with all the characters on them, even ended up finding one of the gold yoda cans. I still have the cans although most have leaked out over the years
I am frustrated that so many epic stories were thrown away, when each one could have been an excellent tv series of movie trilogy, especially Darth Banes story!
@@drkinferno72i especially like bane being interrogated in DOE: she's saying his beliefs of the strong ruling the weak is wrong, and he states that her actions during the interrogation are proving his beliefs correct. Love it. And reading about him facing Zannah in the prison without his lightsaber, one of my favorite battles, even though it was short.
Darth Bane series is my favorite. But Star Wars episode III, Revenge of the Sith is the best SW book I've read: in fact, one of the best novels I've read in general. I highly recommend it.
If you haven’t read the Darth Bane trilogy, you are truly missing out. I don’t want to steer people away from a well made video, and I don’t want to be disrespectful to its creator, but at the same time I would love for people to go and read the trilogy first without spoilers and then come back and watch this video.

Darth bane, kas'im, revan, malgus are my favorite sith from the old republic era. Which is a loose term encompassing the dawn of the jedi, kotor, and the old republic eras. I think I might be missing a few. Their is a good amount of time between those and before those eras.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 he was a bad mofo. Basically the sith equivalent to a Jedi battlemaster. Still skilled and powerful with the force but he primarily focused on sword combat. To me, for both sith and jedi you have both rank and classes for each respectively.

And to my knowledge, Ragnos is the only Sith Lord to remain undefeated and die of old age, and even on his dying bed no one dared to challenge him; his own force ghost causing terror in remaining sith. Vitiate was on the council, and was too scared and weak to challenge Naga Sadow. After becoming Emperor and doing his ritual, Vitiate ordered the destruction of Sith Spirits, which tells me he was scared of Marka Ragnos returning (this is debatable of course). Marka Ragnos, Darth Bane, Darth Sidious= The Big 3 names of the Sith that truly embodies the Dark side. If you were to name 3 more to make 6 I would add King Ades, Darth Ruin, Darth Plagueis. To add 3 more to make the nine it would be: The original Jedi Exiles, Vitiate and Revan (as i would throw the Dark Side significance of Revan to vitiate), Exar Kun. To concrete in 3 more to make the 12 I would add: Freedom Nadd, Darth Traya, Lord Kaan (yes kaan, as his actions had that significant amount of impact) This is all my opinion of course. I doubt anybody else would agree on my lists of 3,6,9 and 12. Darth Vader would be the 13 (Ophiuchus of the Zodiac).
Great video dude! I have always heard of Darth Bane and all the good things about his stories but never actually read any of them. This video was super interesting though and made me very interested in Bane. Super excited to see what you do next!
How am I just finding this amazing channel? The algorithm is Bantha poodoo. Great work dude that spice video was amazing and this one is too. The SOTE documentary was a huge project and you nailed it!
Bane is my favorite Stih. He may not have been the strongest of all but imo he was the most all around badass of the non original Sith from way back in the SW timeline.
Everytime I re-read Path of Destruction, I imagine Des' neimoidian bartender friend Groshik voiced by Seth Rogen. It's hilarious. He even takes a hit off a vaporizer in the book, and I hear Seth doing a bong rip and coughing up a lung. Makes the chapter a thousand times funnier.
I’m actually reading Star Wars legends Darth bane path of destruction I love how you broke down over 400 pages into 30 minutes or his story it is really cool to hear some of the words I couldn’t pronounce correctly pronounced correctly
This was so cool. Plz make more just like this, you do a far better job then others who have more subs. And your voice and cadence is muchore easy to listen to. Good job! 👏
Admit it, you laughed your butt off in Book 2 when Bane is building his Holocron, accidentally destroys it and just sits and stares for a moment before his fury over takes him 😂
This story telling and editing is so good by the creator!! I was into the story from start to finish! Well done buddy you should keep doing videos like this really enjoyed it! 👍🏻 U got a new subscriber
He actually didn't "create" the Rule of Two. Revan did. Bane just enacted Revan's plan for the Sith after he found Revan's holocron. Him finding the holocron was one of the best parts of the novel, gave me chills.
The concept of 2 sith is nothing new since a master requires an apprentice. But Bane enacted a major change in the sith by eradicating the weak ones to leave himself and Zannah as the only 2.
Let me get this straight: Revan not only planned for nearly all Sith to be eradicated, but also hide those who remained from basically everyone, knowing full well that their greed and selfishness might one day screw them over one final time - this time with no more Sith to pick up the pieces. Do I have that right?
On tythus or whatever with the mad sick battle between the 3+ jedi vs bane and Zan-- you said jedi put bubble on his ally at last second --- BUT I am almost certain it was AROUND BANE. It caused the lightning to reflect and cause a type of circuit, melting him almost.
Darovit has a striking resemblance to Frieza whom was apparently brought back through the help of some DragonBall to try and defeat a jedi by the name of Goku. This would be FREEKN AWESOME!
Dude! That was freaking EPIC!!! But... Kathleen Kennedy said that they didn't really have any source material to draw on for the sequel trilogy. Hmmm... 😆 This reminded me that I have the Book of the Sith (the one that came inside of a Sith Holocron!) that had different kinds of pages "pulled" from the "lost books" of ancient Sith, including Darth Bane. It must have been difficult to manufacture. It also has "notes" written in the margins from Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and Mace Windu. I LOVE that book! I also have a Jedi book that came with the collector's edition of SW: The Old Republic MMO. Man, I should play that game again. It's basically, what, TEN single player campaigns in one game? (I _think_ there are ten. Five per Republic and Empire side? Man! It's been so long, I forget!) Anyway, I LOVE so-called "Legends" canon. There are some talented people who write for Star Wars. It's too bad they couldn't have had THEM write the sequel trilogy movies! 😕 EDIT: Fixed spelling of Kathleen Kennedy. Thanks, Facade! I used to know a Candice Kennedy in my early 20s. 🤪
a friend who's since passed loaned me his Bane books so he'd have someone to "Remember when this/that happened?" with. Miss 'em. That said, Bane was entertaining but yeah, he was a stinker to say the least. One mean and tough cat.
I feel it’s only right to mention that the only reason Bane was “defeated” by Cognus was because he had recently exhausted himself by bypassing Darth Andeddu’s Holocron defenses AND Cognus ambushed him with twenty other soldiers firing on him simultaneously. Had he not been exhausted, she and the twenty soldiers she had with her never would have stood a chance.
Not only that. But he forced his way into Andeddu's Holocron, pulling all the information it contained therin at once, learning him mentally exhausted.. also he was unaware of the toxins she used to subdue him. She also had a natural affinity for the dark side, capable of degrading other users to the force, and he still pushed it away as nothing, but still notes that he felt it Anyway, you're right. I'm merely expanding for those who may follow.
I Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video. You've earned my like and sub, thanks for the amazing work putting this together! I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos very soon.
Sean Bean for Lord Kaan would be Perfect casting. But for Bane, i think Glenn Thomas Jacobs/"Kane" would fit nicely. Phoebe Tonkin as Githany Charles Dance as Lord Qordis Bautista for Lord Kopecs Jason Statham, Jet Li or Lil Wayne as Lord Kas'im Russel Crowe or Kurt Russel as General Hoth. James Franco as Farfalla Robert Patterson as Sirak (totally serious. His facial structure would look sick as a zabrak) Daniel Craig would make an interesting Lord Kaan as well, if Sean Bean were to decline.
Such a good book series. I know it's no longer cannon, but they really do need to make it such. I would love a movie, except Disney seems less competent with thier movies than I expected.
It's been years since I read those books but I remember having the perception that when her hand started twitching that meant that Darth Bane was the actual winner of that struggle of the force essence transfer and he was just keeping that fact a secret.
I wish they would have just kept it ambiguous and left it up to the interpretation of the reader. It would have further cemented the legend of Darth Bane; the idea that thousands of years later he could still exist, having lived out many lifetimes, slowly increasing his knowledge of the dark side; possibly even orchestrating events.
Well, in theory it would make Disney'Sequel trilogy somewhat justifiable on certain events. Like with Palpatine proclaiming "I am all the Sith". Though I find the thought of Rey being his granddaughter still out of place. They could have pulled a Terminator(Jon Connor) move and made Rey actually Anakins mother, "Shmi", time looping the whole Saga. Bad i know, but would have been better than what we got and would have justified her powers (imho). As to her not having any power in TPM, it could be said she simply cut off her connection the day Anakin was born or some bs like that... But I didn't go to writing schools, and the people that did obviously know better than me. Lol Anyway, it's an interesting concept that Bane would be the true designer of everything from his time until Sidious. In a truly Dark and twisted way.
Well done. Loved those books.. Darth Bane is the great sith lord of all time... You should do a piece on Grand Master Sateel Shan.. pretty much the most powerful Jedi of all time... in fact, if i hsd it my way, the next Star Wars trilogy would be about her training and early years as a Jedi Knight. Nothing so cool as the old republic.. like a well of untapped stories, just waiting to be told. 😎🤙 SUBSCRIBED
12:45 It might sound like a confusion, but remember, KotoR (well at least the first game) and the Bane quadrilogy had the same writer, Drew Karpyshyn. And he did his research, by following the 6-part comic series to a tee and expanding the story by another 3 books. I seriously doubt he made a mistake there, considering the structure of the books.
Such a wonderfully interesting character. And to think, this was all based on a single line from Phantom Menace that George Lucas included because he decided to model this stuff on the millennia old practice of professions being taught via apprenticeships. (smiths, leatherworkers, etc.)
I have read the books, many time. This is all accurate and somehow I learned a thing or two. Darth Bane is absolutely without question one of the most satisfying characters in the ENTIRE star wars lore. I am including books, games, movies, and especially Disney garbage.
I can remember reading only a handful of books in my life. Star Wars Darth Bane , these books were the only ones I remember besides the Bible. I don’t read books, I read those books. This was like 15yrs ago I think
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021I'm not so sure. There are strong female characters in all his books: Githany, The sniper for the gloomwalkers, Zannah, Calebs daughter: The Jedi Battlemaster. And most of the characters are widely diverse in appearance .Also a masculine white mans man is the ultimate villain. What more check boxes could they want😂 Of course all those female characters other than Zannah end up dead. yeah, they may not like that

To add 3 more to make the nine it would be: The original Jedi Exiles, Vitiate and Revan (as i would throw the Dark Side significance of Revan to vitiate), Exar Kun.
To concrete in 3 more to make the 12 I would add: Freedom Nadd, Darth Traya, Lord Kaan (yes kaan, as his actions had that significant amount of impact)
This is all my opinion of course. I doubt anybody else would agree on my lists of 3,6,9 and 12.
Darth Vader would be the 13 (Ophiuchus of the Zodiac).
29:03 fought N-K Necrosis in SWG so many years ago and didn't know about the bane crystal. Learned somethings new.
Great video dude! I have always heard of Darth Bane and all the good things about his stories but never actually read any of them. This video was super interesting though and made me very interested in Bane. Super excited to see what you do next!
How am I just finding this amazing channel? The algorithm is Bantha poodoo. Great work dude that spice video was amazing and this one is too. The SOTE documentary was a huge project and you nailed it!
Long live the Sith....Darth Bane story amazing. Needs to be made into a series ASAP
Bane is my favorite Stih. He may not have been the strongest of all but imo he was the most all around badass of the non original Sith from way back in the SW timeline.
That was such and AWSOME video! Thank you for that knowledge!! 🎉🎉
Everytime I re-read Path of Destruction, I imagine Des' neimoidian bartender friend Groshik voiced by Seth Rogen. It's hilarious. He even takes a hit off a vaporizer in the book, and I hear Seth doing a bong rip and coughing up a lung. Makes the chapter a thousand times funnier.
The story of Bane is my favorite books I’ve ever read. Very cool video. Great job.
I’m actually reading Star Wars legends Darth bane path of destruction I love how you broke down over 400 pages into 30 minutes or his story it is really cool to hear some of the words I couldn’t pronounce correctly pronounced correctly
Another attack of the legends, another half hour well spent
I always wanted to know who Darth Bane was thank you for this really cool story
Really good video. I do hope that someday this trilogy of books will be made. I think those movies if ever made would absolutely amazing!
This was so cool. Plz make more just like this, you do a far better job then others who have more subs. And your voice and cadence is muchore easy to listen to. Good job! 👏
What a fantastic video! Thank you.
Finished the trilogy yesterday. Amazing books and great summary!
Admit it, you laughed your butt off in Book 2 when Bane is building his Holocron, accidentally destroys it and just sits and stares for a moment before his fury over takes him 😂
This story telling and editing is so good by the creator!! I was into the story from start to finish! Well done buddy you should keep doing videos like this really enjoyed it! 👍🏻 U got a new subscriber
That was awesome! I read the books a long time ago so this was a nice recap. Thanks!
He actually didn't "create" the Rule of Two. Revan did. Bane just enacted Revan's plan for the Sith after he found Revan's holocron. Him finding the holocron was one of the best parts of the novel, gave me chills.
The concept of 2 sith is nothing new since a master requires an apprentice. But Bane enacted a major change in the sith by eradicating the weak ones to leave himself and Zannah as the only 2.
Let me get this straight:
Revan not only planned for nearly all Sith to be eradicated, but also hide those who remained from basically everyone, knowing full well that their greed and selfishness might one day screw them over one final time - this time with no more Sith to pick up the pieces.
Do I have that right?
@@mechanwhal6590 you are correct that that is what the OP is suggesting. But the OP is wrong.
On tythus or whatever with the mad sick battle between the 3+ jedi vs bane and Zan-- you said jedi put bubble on his ally at last second --- BUT I am almost certain it was AROUND BANE. It caused the lightning to reflect and cause a type of circuit, melting him almost.
Honestly, reading through the trilogy of books had to be one of my favorite EU experiences. It’s up there with the Plagueis novel in my book.
Excellent storytelling! Love all the detail!
I have watched 2 of your videos both completely unrelated and I am subbed..great work! these are well done and the humour thrown in is clever
This man should work as a book narrator on Audible. Subscribed.
Awesome stuff man, this is the best Star Wars stuff on TH-cam.
Never forget that episode 1 gave us “Duel of the fates” it’s a classic for that alone.
Great video.. huge Bane fan.. best trilogy ever!
Would love to see a video about Revan or the history of Mandalore
One of the best book series out there.
This is dope as hell. Ty
Keep the videos coming man, just discovered your channel and I’m hooked with the Star Wars content 👍🏻
"You merely adopted the Dark Side. I was born in it."
Darovit has a striking resemblance to Frieza whom was apparently brought back through the help of some DragonBall to try and defeat a jedi by the name of Goku. This would be FREEKN AWESOME!
You are so wicked.
Do you have any idea the kind of devastating destruction Goku would unleash upon the Sith?
It is plausible ,that, Goku ,would tear a new hole ,in the space time continuum of the ,( excuse my French,) Siths' B, U, T, Ts, !
this was the greatest star wars video ever. being introduced to the EU is so much fun
Saintmillion great content and visuals, thank you
Darth bangs story needs to be a movie
Dude! That was freaking EPIC!!! But...
Kathleen Kennedy said that they didn't really have any source material to draw on for the sequel trilogy. Hmmm... 😆 This reminded me that I have the Book of the Sith (the one that came inside of a Sith Holocron!) that had different kinds of pages "pulled" from the "lost books" of ancient Sith, including Darth Bane. It must have been difficult to manufacture. It also has "notes" written in the margins from Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and Mace Windu. I LOVE that book! I also have a Jedi book that came with the collector's edition of SW: The Old Republic MMO. Man, I should play that game again. It's basically, what, TEN single player campaigns in one game? (I _think_ there are ten. Five per Republic and Empire side? Man! It's been so long, I forget!) Anyway, I LOVE so-called "Legends" canon. There are some talented people who write for Star Wars. It's too bad they couldn't have had THEM write the sequel trilogy movies! 😕
EDIT: Fixed spelling of Kathleen Kennedy. Thanks,
Facade! I used to know a Candice Kennedy in my early 20s. 🤪
What a waist that Disney purchased Star Wars and didn’t utilize it!
@@AndreNitroX Yeah, not really, considering they said they didn't have anything to work with, right? 😕
What talented people who write for star wars? Jar Jar Abrams?! Rian Johnson?! Cackling Kennedy?
@@darthbane5357 I was referring to those who had written actually _good_ material for the SWU. Please read the sentence immediately afterwards. 🤪😉
@@CybershamanX oh nvm
a friend who's since passed loaned me his Bane books so he'd have someone to "Remember when this/that happened?" with. Miss 'em. That said, Bane was entertaining but yeah, he was a stinker to say the least. One mean and tough cat.
4:28 I always thought that Skere Kaan looks like a swarthy version of Boromir, which us why I imagined Sean Bean's voice when reading his lines.
THIS THIS THIS
Sean Bean would be perfect!
Though I confess, i would find delight in seeing Daniel Craig in such a role.
Nice. We need a video on the Star Wars Revan novel. And Red Harvest. LOL. Sorry if I mention that too much. Love your videos Saintmillion.
I feel it’s only right to mention that the only reason Bane was “defeated” by Cognus was because he had recently exhausted himself by bypassing Darth Andeddu’s Holocron defenses AND Cognus ambushed him with twenty other soldiers firing on him simultaneously. Had he not been exhausted, she and the twenty soldiers she had with her never would have stood a chance.
Not only that. But he forced his way into Andeddu's Holocron, pulling all the information it contained therin at once, learning him mentally exhausted.. also he was unaware of the toxins she used to subdue him. She also had a natural affinity for the dark side, capable of degrading other users to the force, and he still pushed it away as nothing, but still notes that he felt it
Anyway, you're right. I'm merely expanding for those who may follow.
I Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video. You've earned my like and sub, thanks for the amazing work putting this together! I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos very soon.
I knew about the books, it's literally my favorite trilogy, I had no idea that they did comics though for him
Excellent Exhilarating Adventurous Mysteries Revealed Job!!!!
Man if it wouldn't be a Disney made movie, I'd demand a Darth Bane movie with Rammstein's Till Lindemann playing Darth Bane.
@SonofEyeaboveall Effoff
I don't know if Till has. I'd imagine he'd love Darth Bane. Path of Destruction reads like a companion novel to "Mutter".
Personally mark strong would make a great bane for me
Sean Bean for Lord Kaan would be Perfect casting.
But for Bane, i think Glenn Thomas Jacobs/"Kane" would fit nicely.
Phoebe Tonkin as Githany
Charles Dance as Lord Qordis
Bautista for Lord Kopecs
Jason Statham, Jet Li or Lil Wayne as Lord Kas'im
Russel Crowe or Kurt Russel as General Hoth.
James Franco as Farfalla
Robert Patterson as Sirak (totally serious. His facial structure would look sick as a zabrak)
Daniel Craig would make an interesting Lord Kaan as well, if Sean Bean were to decline.
Best video on the Darth Bane Saga. Great job!
I loved the Darth Bane book. I really wished they would revisit the old canon to recreate these old books into film
Such a good book series. I know it's no longer cannon, but they really do need to make it such. I would love a movie, except Disney seems less competent with thier movies than I expected.
Disney doesn't have the talent to do justice to any sith lord from the eu Dave filoni writing is kiddish generic and poor
I'm just about to finish Dynasty of Evil...such a great saga.
It's been years since I read those books but I remember having the perception that when her hand started twitching that meant that Darth Bane was the actual winner of that struggle of the force essence transfer and he was just keeping that fact a secret.
I wish they would have just kept it ambiguous and left it up to the interpretation of the reader. It would have further cemented the legend of Darth Bane; the idea that thousands of years later he could still exist, having lived out many lifetimes, slowly increasing his knowledge of the dark side; possibly even orchestrating events.
Well, in theory it would make Disney'Sequel trilogy somewhat justifiable on certain events. Like with Palpatine proclaiming "I am all the Sith".
Though I find the thought of Rey being his granddaughter still out of place. They could have pulled a Terminator(Jon Connor) move and made Rey actually Anakins mother, "Shmi", time looping the whole Saga. Bad i know, but would have been better than what we got and would have justified her powers (imho). As to her not having any power in TPM, it could be said she simply cut off her connection the day Anakin was born or some bs like that... But I didn't go to writing schools, and the people that did obviously know better than me. Lol
Anyway, it's an interesting concept that Bane would be the true designer of everything from his time until Sidious. In a truly Dark and twisted way.
Your channel is fantastic.
Darth Bane is my favorite Sith of all time, but I would like to hear more about Zahanna
Nice to see more Legends content from you Saint', the EU is the only Canon there is.
Amen
Thanks for posting this
Well done. Loved those books.. Darth Bane is the great sith lord of all time...
You should do a piece on Grand Master Sateel Shan.. pretty much the most powerful Jedi of all time... in fact, if i hsd it my way, the next Star Wars trilogy would be about her training and early years as a Jedi Knight. Nothing so cool as the old republic.. like a well of untapped stories, just waiting to be told. 😎🤙
SUBSCRIBED
12:45 It might sound like a confusion, but remember, KotoR (well at least the first game) and the Bane quadrilogy had the same writer, Drew Karpyshyn. And he did his research, by following the 6-part comic series to a tee and expanding the story by another 3 books. I seriously doubt he made a mistake there, considering the structure of the books.
Such a wonderfully interesting character.
And to think, this was all based on a single line from Phantom Menace that George Lucas included because he decided to model this stuff on the millennia old practice of professions being taught via apprenticeships. (smiths, leatherworkers, etc.)
That was awesome... keep the stories coming!!
I have read the books, many time.
This is all accurate and somehow I learned a thing or two.
Darth Bane is absolutely without question one of the most satisfying characters in the ENTIRE star wars lore. I am including books, games, movies, and especially Disney garbage.
needs to be a series based on the bane books
I can remember reading only a handful of books in my life. Star Wars Darth Bane , these books were the only ones I remember besides the Bible. I don’t read books, I read those books. This was like 15yrs ago I think
Very interesting, Bane should be a movie.
🤡 Disney woke activits writers will destroy bane
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021I'm not so sure. There are strong female characters in all his books: Githany, The sniper for the gloomwalkers, Zannah, Calebs daughter: The Jedi Battlemaster. And most of the characters are widely diverse in appearance .Also a masculine white mans man is the ultimate villain. What more check boxes could they want😂
Of course all those female characters other than Zannah end up dead. yeah, they may not like that
@FoolishPrince MEH
One to embody the power and the other to crave it...
with some smuggling on the side.
For the real OG's!!!
Love the video. The second half of Bane's story is duuuuuuuuuuuuumb.
This is the good stuff, gonna get comfy.
You are blessing us with the amount of uploads!
Bane is my favorite SW character, but if im being honest, the Rule of Two on its own is THE COOLEST thing Lucas contributed to the later lore.
This is the only type of Star Wars content I have any respect for.
Likewise this is badass Star Wars
Straight up though
