What I find fascinating about Bane is that he is trying to UNDERSTAND the force to attain REAL POWER and WISDOM instead of just use dark side as a crutch to gain quick but corrupting power, effectively becoming it's slave. He was quite a unique Sith who actually questions the relation between passion and Dark Side, between the past and the present of the Sith Order and despite everything that happened to him before becoming Darth Bane he never cracked. A hulking 2 meter giant who at first sight can come off as a brute killing machine was actually intelligent, cunning and patient Warrior who made Dark Side his bitch. Like Darth Plagueis said: "Descended from Darth Bane, we are the select few who refuse to be carried by the force and who carry it instead"
I love how such a good chunk of the story is his search for knowledge, It's like everything he learns was a small piece of the puzzle . He eventually figured out what it meant to be the true sith Lord, no one else was worthy of it. otherwise they would have earned the title before him.
💯 even tho I agree with grey Jedi .. the foolishness of the brotherhood of darkness was holding back the sith… now I know why the rule of two is so important
kinda sus, he's literally EVIL. Like i get cheering for him during the first book (early on) but cheering for a murderer who murders to murder is weird af
@@GnosisZX The Sith ideology always seemed self defeating to me. Like, why do you need to suddenly murder all of your allies once you become the most powerful? Why not have equally powerful, but friendly Sith allies? The Jedi went thousands of years without murdering each other in the jedi council, and collectively they were more powerful than the Sith. That's how they established their order to begin with. As a unified group the jedi are more powerful than Sith. The Sith tended to be more powerful one on one as individuals because that was their focus, but they always seem to stab each other in the back when they are most vulnerable which sort of undermines the whole "most powerful" status. Like what's even the point if you're just gonna get murdered by your apprentice one day, and not even a more powerful apprentice. He may just take a cheapshot when you're guard is down.
@@xenniealsentinel1800 He most likely wouldn't. Even as a Jedi, he was less compassionate than he was pragmatic. He may spare them, but that would likely not be out of mercy
These books have more story than all of the new Disney material combined. The storytelling is next level and I love it. Praise to the Dark Side and May the force be with you all

@@samwilsoncaptainamerica233 I know what you mean Bub I lost any semblance of hope, interest, desire to know Disney star wars when KK said: "We don't have a universe of stories to pull from like we do with marvel." Absolute drivel, sure some parts were wacky and out there, but polish up some of the storylines that follow chronologically and flesh out the universe with the parts that fit. Hell they had plenty of material to make a spin off series of the original Je'daii order, there are 2 books that depict force users 24,000 years before the events of the movies and they're Absolutely amazing. Imagine seeing gray force users how they're intended to be on the big screen? Je'daii going around helping people in their wars, wielding swords that glow with force energy, using the dark side after recieving grevious wounds to heal themselves, it would've been amazing.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago I know what you mean, that's why I don't consider that Disney stuff canon (like a real fan) and just stick to the old stuff. Let's be honest Disney did well with Rebels (even though there were some plot holes here and there) , but after that Star Wars became a cash cow that's being milked to death.
I mean that’s not at all true u should look into James Patterson, jk Rowland, the erogan series, the god father, David eddinngs books, Kate Daniels series.

@2:07:00 when he says "The temple on Lehon was stripped of everything of value like the valley of the dark lords of Koriban" my first thought was "Uh oh... Both of those are my fault from my Knights of the Old Republic 1 playthrough!" :0 hahaha This book is amazing in how it ties all these disparate sources together. The author really knows his stuff and is wicked good at bringing these things together like from KoTOR and the comics (I didn't read them but I've Wookiepedia's a lot of these things). What a gem this guy is.
You know im kinda suprised a revived revan didnt sense the holocron and find it. Even malak and his greedy disciples never found it. Its almost as if only bane was meant to find it

I don't hold with the idea that Disney can dictate canon Willy nilly. The books are still canon to all real fans. The ones that just watch movies or tv will never know the vastness of the whole story.
I have epilepsy. If you have or know someone who has it you probably know there's certain triggers for them. There's also certain behaviors or things they do to avoid seizures, you might not understand why they do these things but they do. I can't explain why but listening to this audiobook calms me down sometimes. If I feel seizurish I almost always turn off all noisy things and try to fall asleep, but this audiobook is something I can listen to and still be ok. I've listened to it 10 times at least lol somehow knowing 75% of the dialogue by heart makes me feel better, there's no anxiety about the story or what anyone's gonna say lol if you're not epileptic you probably don't get what I'm saying.

Darth Plagueis was the first S W audiobook I purchased. To date nothing even comes close. It is a masterwork. Should be made into theatrical production.
Blame George..In an interview, Drew said he ask permission to continue writing more star wars but George won't give him..He is too envious cause Drew created a more elaborated and well explained Universe...George even created a new Darth Bane who looks like Shredder...
@Lough Reynolds In Order. That's how I have my Playlist mostly set up for work. When they had the Tales of the Je'Daii books on here I had those as my first 2, all the way down to the new republic era series of audiobooks in order. Hearing how the tech progresses in universe over the vast 25,000 years is something else.
i love how it seamlessly ties in with and expands the Jedi vs. Sith comic series. Drew did an amazing job and whether or not he loves the series (i mean who doesnt) he really did his research
3:29:03 This scene here finalizes Bane's character arc to becoming a true Sith Lord. He had killed before but those were out of anger, self defense or happened in a war zone. These killings are purely cold blooded and pragmatic in nature, if he wants to survive he needs to feed off their suffering and they are in no position to stop him. And it has the very chilling image of Darth Bane rising from the ground like a demon to feed on the innocent.
That's the one scene I find upsetting. He could have just scared them instead of killing them. He had the perfect means of doing so too and I just hate the idea of taking a young person's future away from them. Cold blooded is the best way to describe it indeed.
I like the image of him raising himself from the ground with the force because he's too weak physically to do it. Imagine you see this dark clad figure rise from the ground by levitating before standing in front of you on shaking legs, he asks nothing, Merely draws his blade and sends it forth like a spear.
Thanks for sharing. No matter how many times I listen to or read this book it helps me fall in love with Stars Wars all over again. Especially KOTOR. I love the reference to Genoharadan after Githany poisons Bane. Also, shout out to Drew Karpyshyn for making this trilogy. Still holds up well even in 2024.
SPOILERS! For those that have never read this awesome book, allow me to give yall a quick recap. Des was born on apotros as an indentured slave trying to pay off his abusive father's debt to the outer rim ore works company. He fought and suffered and mined a valuable ore known as cortosis for ORO company because it could resist blasters and even lightsabers. So he got big from doin this all his life. ORO sells this ore to the republic who of course has an outpost there. One day bane gets sent home for biting off the thumb of a dude named Gurd, even tho he was defending himself. So he finds the cantina and plays sabaak against the republic troops who r waiting for their ore to be loaded up over the next day or two. Gotta gamble and make money just to repay ORO at all cost of course. He wins because he can use the force obviosly, even tho he doesn't know it. The ensign who loses to him is furious and calls him a cheat before storming off. Later him and three of his buddies ambush des in the dark of the night. Unfortunately the ensign dies. But des realized he could somehow "see" the blade that was drawn on him through some mysterious force. But the others run and obviously alert the republic. Des is then forced to join the sith as a soldier, fighting on the front lines and rising through the ranks surprisingly fast. He finds a family he never had with his unit, the gloom walkers. When they get an order to do a suicide mission from one of the dark lords of the sith, des disobeys and punches lieutenant ulabore, knocking his bitch ass out cold. Yet even with a highly successful mission, des is court martialed and taken prisoner by the sith. They throw him into a pit, seemingly to let him die of starvation. But one of the dark lords notices him and the fantastic reports given by his comrades. Some reports that sound way too unbelievable. So he talks with des and tests him. Des passes and is welcomed into the sith academy on korriban as an apprentice. He takes the name of bane, a word his father used to call him by just for spite. Bane is immediately seen as a challenger, albeit one who doesn't know the force like the rest of the students and is still older than them. He advances and get challenged in the dueling ring quite often, winning some and losing some. It want this way until he fought foharg. Unfortunately he suffered a bitter loss. And when he tried again he lost again despite working for weeks. But then foharg fucked up and used banes name against him, calling hin the bane of the sith and a loser. Bane force choked the life outta the fool. But soon regretted it. He had never killed out of hate before, that he knew of at the time, and he subsequently lost his connection to the force. In desperation he called out the top student, siraak. It of course ended badly for him. It was githany who helped him. Restored his connection (for her own devious designs), helped him realize he wanted revenge. And with that new spark, some secretive lessons, and later even lessens with kordis for a month or two, he became ready to exact his vengeance. And now you can listen to this masterpiece. I hope you enjoyed this abridged version of the first 16 chapters or so of path of destruction. And may the force be with you. And for those of you saying I gave everything away, your kinda right lol. But there's still a LOT I left out lmao

@@markfourtwenty9897 Though his very apprentice wanted to make the Rule of One with him living forever with no real apprentice to succeed him (at least that certainly was the case after Anakin was dismembered)
ummm maybe im missing something, but this begins on chapter 16 of 31 chapters of the book.... is there a video missing or a link to it? cause searching youtube is not finding the fist 1/2 of this book...
My personal head canon is that bane has been soul transferring and was actually pelagus. Palpatine learned of this and killed him before he could soul transfer into him. His plan became to perfect cloning and soul transfer into clones of himself. Anakin was a back up plan.
1. It takes Plagueis 150 years to kill his Master Darth Tenebrous....That is why Tenebrous takes on a new apprentice cause he thinks Plagueis is an abonination of the Rule of Two 2. Plagueis wants Palpatine to be his equal and hoping that they both rule the galaxy forever.... 3. Plagueis claim that he is the Sithari while Darth Bane don't and let his actions speak for itself 4 . Plagueis the foo don't listen to Bane that apprentice destroying the master is inevitable...The foo sleeps in the presence of his apprentice and its the reason for his death... If Bane is still alive he could be Darth Jar Jar the Troll...His new rule is "The Rule None" his motto "You can't destroy what doesn't exist" ....His makes the Sith immortal....He rule the galaxy forever by toying on both Jedi and the Sith....
I personally feel like a series would probably be a better option since it could provide more time for fleshing out all three books in the Darth Bane trilogy (1 season for each book).
@@jimriver912 I don't care in the slightest what Disney now canonizes. The sequel trilogy is 'canon' and I choose to disavow it and consider it trash.

All EU prior to Disney is canon to me.
@@kenknowlton3085 Good thing they canonized everything from the hyperspace war to the jedi-sith war then. I agree 100% that sequels are improvised trash btw.
I only wish this vid had all the chapters, it starts at the end of chapter 16 and it ends on chapter 31 with Bane getting his apprentice but then it starts over around chapter 19. I will definitely buy this and the Darth Plagueis one. But what we really need to discuss is why the fuck isnt there a show about Banes rise to power and Death. But Disney just lets all of this great work linger in literature
Am I missing something? It seems that the audio starts in chapter 17 not chapter 1. I be read this book and the series several times, but I love the story. So I thought I would listen to it. I’m really confused on why it starts in chapter 17.

@@LokiTheClever Yeah, I mean its a retcon is it really that hard to believe? They store everything in the form of data implied in the Bane novel but the sith library has old tomes which is what Bane likes to study from. What Bane knows about Revan prior to the holocron was written in books not on data. The holonet went down durring the republic dark age (like a star wars Y2K) so assumedly since the SWOTOR era was so technologically advanced all the histories were probably stored on the holonet. Also people in the star wars universe don't have the best track record of remembering what happened 20-30 years ago. Its a retcon answer, don't shoot me i'm just the messenger.

He's one of my favorite narrators. He does Plagueis really well also
What I find fascinating about Bane is that he is trying to UNDERSTAND the force to attain REAL POWER and WISDOM instead of just use dark side as a crutch to gain quick but corrupting power, effectively becoming it's slave. He was quite a unique Sith who actually questions the relation between passion and Dark Side, between the past and the present of the Sith Order and despite everything that happened to him before becoming Darth Bane he never cracked.
A hulking 2 meter giant who at first sight can come off as a brute killing machine was actually intelligent, cunning and patient Warrior who made Dark Side his bitch.
Like Darth Plagueis said: "Descended from Darth Bane, we are the select few who refuse to be carried by the force and who carry it instead"
All you said here is so true. The real power and deeper wisdom he understands is fascinating

Imagine seeing gray force users how they're intended to be on the big screen? Je'daii going around helping people in their wars, wielding swords that glow with force energy, using the dark side after recieving grevious wounds to heal themselves, it would've been amazing.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago I know what you mean, that's why I don't consider that Disney stuff canon (like a real fan) and just stick to the old stuff. Let's be honest Disney did well with Rebels (even though there were some plot holes here and there) , but after that Star Wars became a cash cow that's being milked to death.
The bane trilogy is a masterpiece. Nothing comes close to it’s perfection.
Couldn’t agree more!
I mean that’s not at all true u should look into James Patterson, jk Rowland, the erogan series, the god father, David eddinngs books, Kate Daniels series.
@@tomriddle9371 I shall, thank you for the suggestion.
Have you read the thrawn trilogy?
@@li32150 yes, absolutely amazing stuff as well. But my personal favorite is the trilogy of bane.
This story is unbelievably good!!!! It's a shame the 15 first chapters are lacking but still... I have listened to the totality of it in a single go, it kept me awake for the whole night. 11/10

@bigbird2240 I just came from their website; it's 30 days free trial, but only one book free. Unless I messed up 😮
@2:07:00 when he says "The temple on Lehon was stripped of everything of value like the valley of the dark lords of Koriban" my first thought was "Uh oh... Both of those are my fault from my Knights of the Old Republic 1 playthrough!" :0 hahaha
This book is amazing in how it ties all these disparate sources together.
The author really knows his stuff and is wicked good at bringing these things together like from KoTOR and the comics (I didn't read them but I've Wookiepedia's a lot of these things). What a gem this guy is.
You know im kinda suprised a revived revan didnt sense the holocron and find it. Even malak and his greedy disciples never found it. Its almost as if only bane was meant to find it
The author actually worked closely with Bioware. Love how some people take the lore seriously.
Because the author of this book is the one who mostly WROTE KOTOR 1.
@@1Nynjathe author is literally the one who helped create Revan. The one who was the head writer for KOTOR 1. He just tied this novel into everything he’d previously done in the game. It’s like Lucas making 2 films and tying them together. They’re going to flow perfectly because he’s the one that wrote them both.

I have epilepsy. If you have or know someone who has it you probably know there's certain triggers for them. There's also certain behaviors or things they do to avoid seizures, you might not understand why they do these things but they do. I can't explain why but listening to this audiobook calms me down sometimes. If I feel seizurish I almost always turn off all noisy things and try to fall asleep, but this audiobook is something I can listen to and still be ok. I've listened to it 10 times at least lol somehow knowing 75% of the dialogue by heart makes me feel better, there's no anxiety about the story or what anyone's gonna say lol if you're not epileptic you probably don't get what I'm saying.

This bane trilogy is simply a masterpiece. Shame well never get a zannah series
Blame George..In an interview, Drew said he ask permission to continue writing more star wars but George won't give him..He is too envious cause Drew created a more elaborated and well explained Universe...George even created a new Darth Bane who looks like Shredder...
@Lough Reynolds In Order. That's how I have my Playlist mostly set up for work. When they had the Tales of the Je'Daii books on here I had those as my first 2, all the way down to the new republic era series of audiobooks in order. Hearing how the tech progresses in universe over the vast 25,000 years is something else.
@Lough Reynolds Correct my friend!
i love how it seamlessly ties in with and expands the Jedi vs. Sith comic series. Drew did an amazing job and whether or not he loves the series (i mean who doesnt) he really did his research
Actually some things are not aligned but I consider Drew’s version canon
@@bigbird2240 ⅕i
The visual depiction of the thought bomb might be one of the most horrifying dark side abilities ever depicted.
3:29:03 This scene here finalizes Bane's character arc to becoming a true Sith Lord. He had killed before but those were out of anger, self defense or happened in a war zone. These killings are purely cold blooded and pragmatic in nature, if he wants to survive he needs to feed off their suffering and they are in no position to stop him.
And it has the very chilling image of Darth Bane rising from the ground like a demon to feed on the innocent.
That's the one scene I find upsetting. He could have just scared them instead of killing them. He had the perfect means of doing so too and I just hate the idea of taking a young person's future away from them. Cold blooded is the best way to describe it indeed.
I like the image of him raising himself from the ground with the force because he's too weak physically to do it. Imagine you see this dark clad figure rise from the ground by levitating before standing in front of you on shaking legs, he asks nothing, Merely draws his blade and sends it forth like a spear.
Truly wicked awesome Series , I want more like this .
Thanks for sharing.
No matter how many times I listen to or read this book it helps me fall in love with Stars Wars all over again. Especially KOTOR. I love the reference to Genoharadan after Githany poisons Bane. Also, shout out to Drew Karpyshyn for making this trilogy. Still holds up well even in 2024.
Best trilogy ever!!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

SPOILERS! For those that have never read this awesome book, allow me to give yall a quick recap. Des was born on apotros as an indentured slave trying to pay off his abusive father's debt to the outer rim ore works company. He fought and suffered and mined a valuable ore known as cortosis for ORO company because it could resist blasters and even lightsabers. So he got big from doin this all his life. ORO sells this ore to the republic who of course has an outpost there. One day bane gets sent home for biting off the thumb of a dude named Gurd, even tho he was defending himself. So he finds the cantina and plays sabaak against the republic troops who r waiting for their ore to be loaded up over the next day or two. Gotta gamble and make money just to repay ORO at all cost of course. He wins because he can use the force obviosly, even tho he doesn't know it. The ensign who loses to him is furious and calls him a cheat before storming off. Later him and three of his buddies ambush des in the dark of the night. Unfortunately the ensign dies. But des realized he could somehow "see" the blade that was drawn on him through some mysterious force. But the others run and obviously alert the republic. Des is then forced to join the sith as a soldier, fighting on the front lines and rising through the ranks surprisingly fast. He finds a family he never had with his unit, the gloom walkers. When they get an order to do a suicide mission from one of the dark lords of the sith, des disobeys and punches lieutenant ulabore, knocking his bitch ass out cold. Yet even with a highly successful mission, des is court martialed and taken prisoner by the sith. They throw him into a pit, seemingly to let him die of starvation. But one of the dark lords notices him and the fantastic reports given by his comrades. Some reports that sound way too unbelievable. So he talks with des and tests him. Des passes and is welcomed into the sith academy on korriban as an apprentice. He takes the name of bane, a word his father used to call him by just for spite. Bane is immediately seen as a challenger, albeit one who doesn't know the force like the rest of the students and is still older than them. He advances and get challenged in the dueling ring quite often, winning some and losing some. It want this way until he fought foharg. Unfortunately he suffered a bitter loss. And when he tried again he lost again despite working for weeks. But then foharg fucked up and used banes name against him, calling hin the bane of the sith and a loser. Bane force choked the life outta the fool. But soon regretted it. He had never killed out of hate before, that he knew of at the time, and he subsequently lost his connection to the force. In desperation he called out the top student, siraak. It of course ended badly for him. It was githany who helped him. Restored his connection (for her own devious designs), helped him realize he wanted revenge. And with that new spark, some secretive lessons, and later even lessens with kordis for a month or two, he became ready to exact his vengeance. And now you can listen to this masterpiece. I hope you enjoyed this abridged version of the first 16 chapters or so of path of destruction. And may the force be with you.

ummm maybe im missing something, but this begins on chapter 16 of 31 chapters of the book.... is there a video missing or a link to it? cause searching youtube is not finding the fist 1/2 of this book...
This book alone is better than everything disney has ever made
My personal head canon is that bane has been soul transferring and was actually pelagus. Palpatine learned of this and killed him before he could soul transfer into him. His plan became to perfect cloning and soul transfer into clones of himself. Anakin was a back up plan.
1. It takes Plagueis 150 years to kill his Master Darth Tenebrous....That is why Tenebrous takes on a new apprentice cause he thinks Plagueis is an abonination of the Rule of Two
2. Plagueis wants Palpatine to be his equal and hoping that they both rule the galaxy forever....
3. Plagueis claim that he is the Sithari while Darth Bane don't and let his actions speak for itself
4 . Plagueis the foo don't listen to Bane that apprentice destroying the master is inevitable...The foo sleeps in the presence of his apprentice and its the reason for his death...
If Bane is still alive he could be Darth Jar Jar the Troll...His new rule is "The Rule None" his motto "You can't destroy what doesn't exist" ....His makes the Sith immortal....He rule the galaxy forever by toying on both Jedi and the Sith....
Second time I’ve played these audio books thanks for the content!! Great books
Bane should have his own rated R movie.

This seems to start somewhere halfway the book, do you happen to have the first part somewhere? I've looked around on YT but can't seem to find ot
As old as Yoda is they can include him in the bane movie cool stuff. We can see yoda mamma and yoda papa 😂
I read the book awhile ago. Both r excellent.
Why does it start so abruptly? It's like we're several chapters deep from the beginning?
Yes unfortunately the beginning was cut from this upload and so was the beginning of another chapter. I believe you can find the full version online for free but it's not on TH-cam.
I think all together about 4 and a half chapters were cut from this.
@@thegreatkabukino6639 Thanks, I manage to find it elsewhere as well - awesome series! :-)
@@knoxpuffer truly it is! Glad you were able to find it. Also check out the Darth Plagueis book and Darth Maul Shadow Hunter book. Both very well done and a joy to listen too.
Have a good one!
@@thegreatkabukino6639 Thrawn is very good too and Revan trilogy
Darth Bane is the best story in Star Wars. The first three movies are what they are, but they are almost a prelude for the Bane trilogy.
The first time one reads it and understands why there is the Emperor and Darth Vader is like being made aware of a great secret of The Force.
18:48 chapter 17
I wonder why they start it jalf way through the 16th chapter
8:46:45 Darth Revan
The funny thing is this trilogy acts like the Sith Empire that owned half the galaxy never existed probably because it was made long before that
History was lost during the republic dark age.
@@DanielGonzalez-dr7so Yet they still have history on Revan yet not Vititate?
@@LokiTheClever Yeah, I mean its a retcon is it really that hard to believe? They store everything in the form of data implied in the Bane novel but the sith library has old tomes which is what Bane likes to study from. What Bane knows about Revan prior to the holocron was written in books not on data. The holonet went down durring the republic dark age (like a star wars Y2K) so assumedly since the SWOTOR era was so technologically advanced all the histories were probably stored on the holonet. Also people in the star wars universe don't have the best track record of remembering what happened 20-30 years ago. Its a retcon answer, don't shoot me i'm just the messenger.
@@DanielGonzalez-dr7so Its your opinion unless you personally worked with the writers yourself. Well the old republic era anything post Revan especially feels contrived (don't even get me started about Revan's spirit splitting into a dark and light half). The old republic Era is full of ass pulls of major superpowers coming and going quickly (looking at the eternal empire as more stupid than the Sith Empire to an extent)
@@LokiTheClever That's not an opinion I presented facts that you could look up for yourself and based on that evidence I made inferences, an opinion would be saying if I thought it was good or bad or what it should or shouldn't be. What you replied with is an opinion, which I really don't care about. I was just trying to answer your question based on facts presented in the lore. You don't have to be an asshole if you aren't satisfied with the answer.
Ah, yes. A Darth bane Audiobook.
What channel name would be best to publish such a video.. hmmmm
Sweet Animal TV of course!
when can we get the beginning
Why does it start at chapter 16?
Book ends at 5hrs 30mins it just replays old parts after that
What happened to part 1
Taken down
The darkside is powerfully strong especially sith magic
Why does the book start repeating again?
Why does it start in the middle of a narration?
