Am I the only one who is more impressed with Darth Bane over Sidious? I get that he finally did what the Sith had always wanted to do and basically wiped out the Jedi but he also had 1000 years of planning behind him. I'm just extremely impressed with how Bane saw the flaw in the Sith and was able to put into place a system that even though took 1000 years it would have worked had the force itself not intervened to maintain balance.
@Senate917 Star Wars audio books are SEVERELY underrated/rarely talked about. For those who don't know, its not just a dude reading- They are full productions. Music, sound effects, and incredibly talented narrators. Anything read by Jonathan Davis or Marc Thompson is top tier. Just counted my library, and I've gone through 36 of these so far (and plenty more to go). There is no shortage of GREAT Star Wars content found in these. Bane Trilogy is one of the best next to Plagueis, followed by all the Thrawn trilogies and Dark Disciple.
The Battle of Tython was one of my favorite fights in the Darth Bane trilogy. Intriguingly, while Bane donned orbalisk armor and the Jedi team were bolstered by battle meditation, Darth Zannah was the only combatant without any sort of enhancements whatsoever
Lmao, yet, if you think about it, he's still leagues above standard jedi as he developed a force shield right before the moment of impact that killed zhannas "lover" Drew Karpeshyn is such a genius; little does zhanna know she ended up murdering the one who ended probably one of the few men she could feel alive with. I have to go on and say the acolyte is one of the most terribly written mediums of star wars ever comprised, we need Karpeshyn back to guide us into the proper darkness
@@xneonus3704 Oh for sure. Those books are Gold. The Acolyte is an insulting mess. I just think it’s funny that if Johun hadn’t gone, the Jedi might have won.
essentially Johun just messed up everything he possibly could and got everyone killed is what I got from this. got in the way when he was dueling Zannah, then caused Bane to gain insane power which lead to no more battle meditation, which led to Zannah getting a free kill basically, and then it was all wraps from there
2nd the audiobooks. They are amazing! Only issue is I think in book one when bane is in the army you hear these constant monkey noises and because I would usually listen while falling asleep it was kind of annoying.
@@kougawd7978Never seen Andor but Rebels needed to be a whole lot darker instead of the more light hearted theme since it takes place during the reign of the empire
The concept of my Force and Destiny rpg campaign was the PCs playing this Jedi Squad who fight Darth Bane and Zannah, original PCs not these specific named characters. This fight was the capstone of the campaign. The PCs pressed and the Sith fled up to Darth Bane's ship, the PCs followed, and due to the battle the ship blew up, none of the Jedi or Sith were ever seen by the wider galaxy ever again, but the rule of two survived.
Actually the reason he was failing was simply due to missing the knowledge of the cap stone. With that he could have theoretically created a holocron even with the orbalisk armor
That trilogy is amazing. If they adapted that to a show or movie trilogy everyone would love it. And they’re written so well that whenever I see pictures depicting a scene like the one in the thumbnail- it ends up looking EXACTLY as I had envisioned when reading the book. And I read the trilogy 6 years ago!
@@ruse0131 yeah, for sure. It’s moreso something I used to hope for, probably because when I read the trilogy I think it was around the time of rogue one which was actually really good. I’d hate to see what they’d do with the bane trilogy nowadays 😆. But if it was done right hypothetically, it would be awesome
I’m pretty sure it is. Personally I believe that Batista is the perfect choice for Bane. Charolette Flair as Zannah could be a good choice, though whether she could act is anyone’s guess. Alas Batista is too old now for the role which is frustrating.
Yeah I wonder why he appeared that way is cannon now denying the obelisk armor or is Disney saying he wore that samurai armor after he took off the obelisks
@@HiddenGhost00 when he battles on the winged beast. The fact he flew from the planets moon into the atmosphere of the planet, slays all the other riders in fantastic style. When the man says to Zannah "You're all alone little girl....zannah replies" No, I am not" soo badass, I just got chills
Lovedddd this video I’ve read this book countless times and you still somehow made it feel brand new! Awesome stuff! Look forward to more Plagueis videos 👌🏽
Bane also wasnt wearing that mask. He only wore it in his sleep. The orbalisks were also the wrong colour. Johun Othone and Sarro Xaj were the two fighting Zannah but Johun switches to Bane later. Bane is fighting Valenthyne Farfalla and Raskta Lu before Johun joins them. Worror is boosting them all with Battle meditation and we don't see him in the picture either
3:49 Um...one of the earliest??? More like one of the last. Belia Darzu lived only 250 years before Bane's era, and the knowledge of how to make a Sith Holocron was one of many arcane abilities that was lost in Darth Gean's rampage a few hundred years later. The majority of known Holocron makers among the Sith are FAR more ancient (i.e. Darth Andeddu, Darth Revan, and Darth Nihilus).
reading this battle in the book was amazing. and what I think many SW fans wish we could see in live action. big multi person high skilled lightsaber fights with major consequences.
In the book its stated that he wears the mask only while sleeping, not the whole time, when he was awake he was controlling the orbalisk with the force so that they werent able to reach his face, i don't get it while people on YT always say that he wore a mask if he only sleept with one, the same with the pictures i don't get it
Those books were so thrilling to read. I used to play star wars soundtracks while reading them and sometimes adjusting the music for the scene. Banes training, the ferocious battle of Rusaan, the great betrayed of the Brotherhood of Darkness, the rise of unkillable rage monster Bane, this beautifully described showdown with the elite jedi strike team, the completion of Zannnas training and that epic final duel that had me question whether Bane survived or not! It was so thrilling and immersive
Now this is fantastic! Maybe for future videos perhaps you could analyze lightsaber duels such as the battle of Mustafar? This duel is one of my favorites and thank you so much for your in depth analysis.
According to Plagueis there are many other Sith and dark side users in the Galaxy, but only he and his sporentuce are of Bane line and for this millenia old plán, they are the true Sith.
Qimir had no choice but to attack if he was to preserve the Rule of Two. His only miscalculation had been in trusting Mae. Once she revealed her plan to reveal his secrets to the Jedi, and she had gone to Kelnacca, the die was cast. He had to go and kill her and Kelnacca. But these other Jedi also came into contact on the scene, so he had to kill them, too. He only tells Sol he is a Sith because he believes he will succeed in killing him.
This is as good a video on Bane as you'll get. Perfectly describing him, the scene, and events unfolding. Quotes directly from the Rule of 2 book in the Bane series. This is of course lending to the argument of the difference between Bane's brief 'exposure' to the jedi and Qimir's choice to approach and duel jedi very different. You'd have to be a fool to not understand that.
@0:30 that is a crazy piece of art. That's so amazing and interesting to look at, especially since it's Star Wars. what is this image from? because whoever drew this is so fkn based
This is amazing story! We can imagine everything. He had to reveal himself. He saved her. Bane and Zana fooled everyone😀May the Force be with you always😁
This is one of my favorite fights ever in a novel, anyone know of any other series with lightsaber fights as intense as the ones in this and the Revan series?
Darth Bane would make this dude from the "Acolyte" look like a straight up worm, even one of the Jedi from the strike team would fold that dude it less than 2 seconds lmao
Actually most of the orbalisks survived the lightning except a few on his abdomen. They didn't get fried by the lightning, they actually tried to eat the dark side energy that they had mutated into living on, however they didn't know when to stop so their bellies split open and led to their end. Its stated that like the rat in 2 fast 2 furious that the orbelisks started eating him alive when they couldn't expand past their back plate
3:07 that's what he thought at the time but it was he just wasn't using the cap stone of the holicron to it's full use he later regrets losing the armor after the fact
Awesome video. All of your are always excellent, but this one was above and beyond. Imagine if Disney made a series out of the Bane novels. If they did it right, it would turn the money printing presses back on.
Alot of Disney shills in this comment section wanting Kathleen Kennedy and David filoni to completely butcher emasculated humiliated nerf watered down and destroy bane story
I still think Quimir is not actually a sith. He literally said "you would call me a sith" which emphasises that he hates the absolutes jedi deal in (you are either a jedi or a sith). He is not a rule of two sith, but merely a sith empathiser
Honestly the rule of two is a double edged sword. Yea the sith did indeed survived, but in a very pathetic state. There are crazy what ifs which involved the total destruction of the sith all because of the rule of two. Once both are wiped out, no more sith. When the sith did win, it was only for 25 years while the sith as an empire lasted more than a thousand years. So I’ll let you pick which is better.
In Bane's time sith were incredibly weak, literally children compared to Vitiate's or even Revan's empires. Bane alone, before he reached height of his power, was more powerful than any of them.
Am I the only one who is more impressed with Darth Bane over Sidious?

I'm just extremely impressed with how Bane saw the flaw in the Sith and was able to put into place a system that even though took 1000 years it would have worked had the force itself not intervened to maintain balance.
Yea, very much a self- made man who had a lasting effect. It's why him and Revan are two of my favorite characters.
Bane wasn't that powerful
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 Never said he was more powerful.
Bane was a pure survivor. Plus what he did at Ruusan to both The Army of Light and The Brotherhood of Darkness was immensely impressive.
He laid foundations for Sidious
Darth Bane novel trilogy is a must read
Agreed!.. should be a movie!
Agreed. I am not a reader but read all of the books with a fevor.

FACTS
I see Darth Bane being played by Tom Hardy!
The Battle of Tython was one of my favorite fights in the Darth Bane trilogy. Intriguingly, while Bane donned orbalisk armor and the Jedi team were bolstered by battle meditation, Darth Zannah was the only combatant without any sort of enhancements whatsoever
One of the best fights in Star Wars. Period. 👌
Interesting I never thought abt that. Zannah has always been an underrated character
her sith sorcery might be an enhancement if battle meditation is considered one.
Zannah’s enhancement was standing next to Bane and have him watching her back
@@HellionSolwell in this fight a wall was watching her back
Anything with bane and legends canon will always be watched and appreciated by me!
Zannah > Rey
Sabers on sight 😂😭 👍🏽
Yes.
Not even in the same sentence…🤦🏿♂️Rey is grabage Disney crap. Zannah is great.
@@peteschweddy4263 🤣
These books are truly legendary. I pray Disney never touches them.
Ah yes. The last stand of Johun the useless.
well said!😂😂😂

Welp. Time to read the Bane novels again, so fuckin good.
listen to the audiobooks it sounds like a film on cassette
2nd the audiobooks. They are amazing! Only issue is I think in book one when bane is in the army you hear these constant monkey noises and because I would usually listen while falling asleep it was kind of annoying.
legends is 1000x better than anything disney has created.
not ANYTHING, most of it
Nah 100,000,000 times better than any Disney Star Wars
Andor is amazing, Star Wars rebels is real good
@@kougawd7978Never seen Andor but Rebels needed to be a whole lot darker instead of the more light hearted theme since it takes place during the reign of the empire
Not all of Legends stories are. Some of them were extremely bad.
The concept of my Force and Destiny rpg campaign was the PCs playing this Jedi Squad who fight Darth Bane and Zannah, original PCs not these specific named characters. This fight was the capstone of the campaign.

Thank you for clearing this up for people. Also, thank you for going so in-depth with the story. I definitely have to go read this trilogy again.

What a slap in the face. Comparing that clown to Bane.
19:02 IS THAT DAVE BAUTISTA🤣🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure it is. Personally I believe that Batista is the perfect choice for Bane. Charolette Flair as Zannah could be a good choice, though whether she could act is anyone’s guess. Alas Batista is too old now for the role which is frustrating.
For a second, I expected him to have a space hamster on his shoulder. He could really pass for Minsc.
This trilogy finalized my love for star wars dude. Locked me in for ever lol
I like the breakdowns of these battles
Great video , nice to see your giving Zanna the credit this bad arse Sith Lord deserves
Awesome video! I was meaning to listen to this fight in the audio book soon anyways. Keep up the good work!
Haven’t read the book in years but loved hearing this again
"It was sabers on sight" 😎
This is actually my favorite fight in all of star wars. To create this on screen, it would require brutal, exact, and fast choreography.
Fkn EPIC!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 why can’t we get stories like this one, and Darth Revans story depicted in films or shows!?
Amazing storytelling as always. I have read the Bane trilogy three times.........it never gets old.
Thanks for the video. Good explainer / contrast to what we are seeing in the Acolyte.
Darth Bane never wore that samurai armor that his ghost in Clone Wars was wearing. The only armor Bane ever wore was made of the living Orbalisks.
Yeah I wonder why he appeared that way is cannon now denying the obelisk armor or is Disney saying he wore that samurai armor after he took off the obelisks
my 2nd favorite Bane moment. Keep up the great work
What's your favorite Bane moment?
@@HiddenGhost00 when he battles on the winged beast. The fact he flew from the planets moon into the atmosphere of the planet, slays all the other riders in fantastic style. When the man says to Zannah "You're all alone little girl....zannah replies" No, I am not" soo badass, I just got chills
Lovedddd this video I’ve read this book countless times and you still somehow made it feel brand new! Awesome stuff! Look forward to more Plagueis videos 👌🏽
That picture is both really cool and false. Farfalla and the battle master were attacking Bane and the other two were fighting Zannah.
Bane also wasnt wearing that mask. He only wore it in his sleep. The orbalisks were also the wrong colour.
Johun Othone and Sarro Xaj were the two fighting Zannah but Johun switches to Bane later. Bane is fighting Valenthyne Farfalla and Raskta Lu before Johun joins them. Worror is boosting them all with Battle meditation and we don't see him in the picture either
@@CT-1975 Correct and guess who we don't see.
Bane and Zannah had to fight off multiple powerhouses... oh and Johun too, I guess.
Thanks for the bane lore

Bane- "When we see them jedi, SABERS ON SIGHT"
Qimir never called himself Sith. He said the Jedi might call him that.
Darth Bane definetely deserves his own movie or show.
reading this battle in the book was amazing. and what I think many SW fans wish we could see in live action. big multi person high skilled lightsaber fights with major consequences.
That was a fantastic trilogy! I enjoyed the retelling of this fight.
Zanna is a real one.
Dude, this story is a quadrillion times better than the hackolyte!!!!!
In the book its stated that he wears the mask only while sleeping, not the whole time, when he was awake he was controlling the orbalisk with the force so that they werent able to reach his face, i don't get it while people on YT always say that he wore a mask if he only sleept with one, the same with the pictures i don't get it
I got the sense that Qimir revealed himself pretty deliberately.
Good ol Darth Bane. Easy to wanna be a sith when you read his trilogy. One of my favorites.
Funny enough the Darth Bane novels were just on my mind.
I love these breakdowns!!
Those books were so thrilling to read. I used to play star wars soundtracks while reading them and sometimes adjusting the music for the scene.

If only they did a Darth Bane trilogy. This would be a great part of the third installment.
Kathleen Kennedy would make Zona gay, and probably try to make Bane a gay female
This would be in the second season if it were a series or in the second film if it turned into a movie
You want bane to be emasculated and humiliated? 🤡
@DarthBane702 you know Disney will ruin it?
I would much rather that Disney does not touch anything from The Old Republic era.
I won’t even compare the Dumpster Juice that is “tHe AcOLyTe” to Darth Bane and his apprentice HAD to fight their way out.
According to Plagueis there are many other Sith and dark side users in the Galaxy, but only he and his sporentuce are of Bane line and for this millenia old plán, they are the true Sith.
2:25 Darth bane essentially had crustaceans injecting him with steroids 24/7 lol
I really enjoy your vids. Not to be weird but your voice is super cool. It is very starwarsy. Keep up the good work.

Disney really needs to make legends into cannon. And they could start with the Bane trilogy and make them into movies
I would love for you to do more videos like this comparing Legends to the current Canon😁.
I would love to hear more stories like this.
It was Sabers on Sight!

We need a Darth Bane series with Dave Bautista playing Darth Bane!!! It would be INCREDIBLE

16:32 "The young jedi" lmao.
Nice thx 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Forgot how goooood that fight is
Jedi fighting bane had just finished fighting the might of the Sith empire. High republic Jedi hadn’t fought anyone with a lightsaber in generations.
The stranger never revealed himself as a Sith, he said the Jedi may refer to him as a Sith, there are more dark users than just the Sith.
Yes but he was a Sith so…
Bane was a bad ass def one of my favorites
I'm hoping you can do a breakdown of who would win more rounds out of 10, Dooku & Mace vs Tulak Hord 🤔
I would like some more Please!
This is one of my favorite fights ever in a novel, anyone know of any other series with lightsaber fights as intense as the ones in this and the Revan series?
So she cleans up a mess she made. Got it!

The power of one, ah ah ah.
The power of two, ah ah ah.
Darth the Count.
I still think Quimir is not actually a sith. He literally said "you would call me a sith" which emphasises that he hates the absolutes jedi deal in (you are either a jedi or a sith). He is not a rule of two sith, but merely a sith empathiser
I wish The Acolyte was just about Darth Zannah and Darth Bane.
I didn't Luke the size of the characters at all!!!
But I did really like the story.
Yes, I want more of those!
Honestly the rule of two is a double edged sword. Yea the sith did indeed survived, but in a very pathetic state. There are crazy what ifs which involved the total destruction of the sith all because of the rule of two. Once both are wiped out, no more sith. When the sith did win, it was only for 25 years while the sith as an empire lasted more than a thousand years. So I’ll let you pick which is better.
