Zanna as a Sith deserves more respect.
Zannah would be a great story to explore further, book comic game idc. Either way I would be interested
NEEERD
YES!!!! I fully agree with you!
@@tylerarmstrong4566 Disney will ruin her
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 no truer words have ever been spoken
Darth Bane and Darth Zannah were almost instrumental in the ability to do what was necessary for the survival of the Sith and their Rule of Two, and there was so much more that the both of them will be remembered by their successors as icons to their order.
I just we get to see them on screen som day
Eeyup.
Darth Zannah was a legend.
The sheer power that she wielded was incredible…
False light is an awesome spell performed by Darth Zanna. An ability more difficult than just concealing force presence.
Zanna was a true believer in the rule of two, even more so than Bane. When defeated Bane attempted to essence transfer it appeared to fail but still left it's mark on Zanna. Not only was Zanna powerful but her beliefs held true even when Bane went back on his own philosophy.
Well, she was indoctrinated by him from childhood.
He didn't go back on it though. The end goal was to produce the strongest Sith. Had his attempt at essence transfer proven successful he would have been thr stronger of the two.
@@Rj-pw7zsCorrect, if Bane had consciously avoided using Essence Transfer it would have been as though he gave up without using the ‘ace up his sleeve’. He needed to attempt the transfer to be compliant with the Rule of Two, and Zanna needed to overcome his efforts. In doing so she passed her final test and took the mantle.
Bane was not going back on his philosophy. Part of his Rule of 2 was that a Sith Aprentice must prove themselves worthy of the mantle by slaying their master *in single combat*
Zannah hadn't made any moves to directly challenge him, which led him to suspect that she was waiting for him to grow weak from age so that she may strike him down instantly (I think? It wasn't exactly clear to me whether she meant to do that, or if she was just waiting till he died of old age).
Because of this, Bane believed his Apprentice to be a failure. That is why he sought the technique of Essece Transfer in the first place. He felt he needed to start over with a new Aprentice, but didn't have the time to do so, as he wasn't getting any younger.
Eventually Zannah finds out and this leads to the final duel on Ambria. As I mentioned, Darth Bane already viewed Darth Zannah a failure and felt the Rule of 2 lineage would be doomed under her (obviously he was wrong) that's why he tried using Essence Transfer on her when it seemed like she would actually kill him. Under different circumstances he would have fought hard to the death but she would've been allowed to win, he likely would've even been proud, even if only in a selfish "look how well I trained her" sort of way
Zanna? 😂
Darth Zannah has my utter respect and reverence as she was the first catalyst of the jedi order's destruction. Sidious was the last catalyst and deliverer of the destruction of the order. 1000 years after it was established. It rounds up perfectly
if Revan didn't create his holocron or if bane did not find it the jedi would have survived.
Respect I can understand but reverence? That's twisted af
Darth Zannah has been my favourite Sith ever since I first read the Bane Trilogy, so I'm happy whenever a video about her or mentioning her shows up. Bane has changed somewhat in canon, but I really hope that Zannah gets to be reintroduced as well.
Pfft Malgus didn’t need to infiltrate, he just wrecked.
Darth Zannah is so ridicolously overpowered and yet still underrated
I was laughing about it. The Bane trilogy was one of my first star wars books. (the Rule Of 2 was 4). I liked the Darth Bane books and I like to see them covered and theorysed by you. Thanks for todays holocron and may the force be with you!
The fact that darth zanna was able to invade the Jedi temple really stated why the Jedi lost the battle of coroscont in the old republic, it’s why order 66 left them off guard, they fell right into the sighs infamous plot of the rule of 2, the Sith were alsways destined for “greatness”
Well,the jedi didnt know about this power nor did they believe that the sith survived.I dont know why people like you make such weird assumptions.The Sith could have been stopped many times,by Mace Windu and Yoda .In Swars the future is always in motion which means that there no such thing as destiny
@@Vskage65ace Windu and Yoda couldn’t sense Darth Sidous. He was right under their noses and they didn’t have a clue. Sidous managed Order 66 which was prepared and pre planned. Have the Jedi fighting a war Sidous started so it leaves them unguarded while they ignore Anakin. As much as I love Mace Windu he didn’t handle Anakin properly. The Jedi Orders arrogance led them to their demise. Their ignorance and arrogance led to children being slaughtered.
@@Vskage65the moment we first saw Palpatine I knew he was up to some fuck shit. The Jedi were arrogant and believed they wiped out the Sith but they didn’t. Always be on your toes player!
@@breezy6859 The jedi werent arrogant,the statement of them being arrogant comes from individuals who want to destroy their reputation.I dont know of you think by yourself or if everything you say has been told to you by someone else.
If the Carolingian dinasty disappeared a 1000,years ago,do you really believe that they gonna hide for a 1000 thousend years to come back in the 21 century and take over west Europe???None of the prequel jedi were alive when the sith were still around,and even then ,there were only 2 sith in a galaxy of trillions ,and to mention,these 2 sith were hiding their force sensitivity.
Your assumptions about the jedi dont make sense at all
@@breezy6859 «Always be on your toes» coming from someone who has context.
I remember this from the book, a few jedi found out that zannah had infiltrated them and instead of alerting the council and bringing many jedi with them to fight her and bane they only took like 4 of them and they were all slaighted by bane and zannah...jedi always be making the worse decisions
So mace windu's ancestors
Wtf is slaighted? 😊
Which book was it
@@brooklynsmokes151 Darth Bane: Rule of Two. The second book in a trilogy.
They won because Zannah killed Raskta behind her back, she was the only jedi who was able to fight bane. I hoped to see more of Raskta :(
The orbalisks also disrupted his concentration when he was trying to create his own Holocron on at least one occasion. This caused him to make a mistake, causing the Holocron to disintegrate. He flew into a rage afterwards. Fortunately for Zannah, she was away on a mission when that happened. This helped Zannah convince Bane to find a way to remove the orbalisks.
I definitely enjoyed the Darth Bane trilogy, as it set up the Rule of Two Sith and greatly expanded the unique set of dark side powers that are generally exclusive to the Sith, and not generally available for Dark Jedi to learn.
Bane initially failed creating a holocron due to not having a capstone,. At first he thought his (armor) prevented this. Read the series many times. Bane my favorite sith lord.
@@jerrycunningham1820 Yes. The orbalisks did cause problems, like I said in the previous post. It was only later, while Zannah was seeking a way to remove the orbalisks, that he went to Tython, found Belia Darzu's Holocron, and learned about the capstone.
@@ytafan4068 they were not the reason Bane couldn't create a holocron. Agree to disagree fine by me.
Darth Malgus walked right through the doors
This is why she is my favorite sith this feat itself is lit has literally never been recreated
Zannah is one of my favorite Sith, she is vastly under rated and if she were in our world I think she would prefer it that way so her enemies would underestimate her. This would give her the necessary edge to completely wreck someone and take what she desires.
If she was a better duelist, and not just had what was taught to her by bane she would stomp
Yeah but what I don't like is in the end of the 3rd book. It's not exactly clear if bane was successful on the transfer or not but it would have been nice to have a book series of just her
@@lelandlabe5880 Drew still wants to make zannah book to finish it out But Disney won’t let him because they’re stupid
@@WeaponsRemorse yea and they stopped the sword of the jedi series
@@WeaponsRemorse Zannah's inability to duel was her greatest weakness. Bane was a shit Master in that regard. If she was able to balance her dueling with her sorcery she would stomp. Her taking up Form 3 was a mistake, she should have used Form 4.
Darth Zannah is so underrated!! I think shes often behind banes shadow
She fits under his literal shadow lol
I would have never thought that a sith would have been able to do this
She is like that very deadly lady who fooled everybody on the James Bond "The World is not Enough." In fact, the actress who played that woman should be Zannah if a movie were ever made about this story. Unfortunately, that person has no doubt aged a bit.
Palpatine did it for years. lmfao
@@TheEmpressPalpatine
And, Zannah being Zannah, she might still look like a wet dream by the time Cognus bumps her down.
Darth Zannah was a dark side prodigy.
Still a stunner at 30, after 20 years of immersion in the Dark Side. Interesting.
Well she’s not the ONLY Sith.
There was a comic where Palpatine entered the Jedi Temple to watch Anakin duel a Maul hologram
Hardly an infiltration.
@@TJDious well, he didn't have to use a fake identity because, as Palpatine, he was perfectly justified in hanging around with the Jedi. However, he still had to permanently hide his presence in the Force from the Jedi Order. And contrary to Zannah who did it for a few days, Sidious accomplished this for decades.
@@dartharaneus67 Well, Zannah's task was trickier as she was impersonating a known force user and not a civilian. Palpatine had to cut himself entirely off from the force, whereas Zannah had to be open to the force while simultaneously concealing her dark side affiliation.
@@csl7972 point granted. :)
@@csl7972 Idk man, Sidious interacted with the entirety of the high council on multiple occasions. The Jedi at the time of the clone wars also had a much, much better council being lead by the (at the time) strongest Jedi to ever exist. Both amazing feats tho. Have to remember they were also specifically looking for a Sith Lord for 20 years of his term, they didn’t even know the Sith were still around with Zannah.
Force Infiltration
This was brilliant move! Zannah was incredibly smart and capable. Despite some problems,she was amazing. Genious. I didn't know the story. Perfect. She deserves all the respect. And I agree she deserves her own show. May the Force be with you. Have a great day too :)
Zanna should be talked about more.
I wish we had gotten a Zannah book. Heck, I wish we had gotten a whole series about the Baneite order. It wouldn't have to be about every single member, but about a couple of important ones. That would have been great.
Days in a Jedi Temple undetected. Damn. She could rival Sidious lol
Wow!! Zanna was very skilled in the Dark Side
Darth Bane and the orbelisks is the most badass story in star wars imo
Darth Zannah not only had the powder of regular sith, but also Sith sorcery… That put her above many other Sith in terms of power.
Zannah’s definitely undervalued for what she’s capable of as a Sith; doing all of what she did is one of the most badass things I’ve ever heard of in Star Wars.
And this is why for newer live action Star Wars I feel they should have gone in the direction of Darth Bane was his story is great and even his apprentice's feats are equally impressive.
Awesome!
I was not familiar. She just went up many points in my book.
Thank you.
I'm curious about this fake holocron, because the whole reason Zannah was sent to investigate how to remove the Orbalsisks, was because Bane thought the rage they induced was what was keeping him from making a holocron in the first place. Mind you, at the same time Zannah was at the Jedi Temple, Bane was in Tython, looking for the tomb of Belia Darzu, adn he did learn that the real reason was that he was missing an important spell.
TBF, in trying to understand how to make his own holocron, Bane might have tinkered with it and eventually, seeing that it was fake, decided to put a spying device on it, maybe planning to release it on the black market, and when Zannah was sent to the temple, he decided to kill two birds with one stone.
Zannah is very underrated though, and I'm curious as to how she trained Cognus, and how much of Bane remained on her after surviving the Essense Transfer
Zannah was a master at sith sorcery and some sith alchemy. Bane was the physical part of the duo but he learned from Revan's sith Holocron. Can you imagine if Zannah was the one to try essence transfer on a young jedi in her old days? She could have stayed alive for eternity while gathering power to rival the entirety of the sith and jedi alike.
This perfect for my SW5e campaign. Great stuff as always!
I had not seen this one it was good I love your ability to tell stories and voice
darth zanna is hot
I agree
Zannah isnt there just to be eye candy for you...bigot
Thats Silvanas Windrunner
that is true
@@cryptic-lo1bfStill hot. Similar body type iirc
Zannah became somewhat of my favorite Sith Lord. She isn't just raw power, but cunning and smart. I always thought she is probably more influential to the Sidious and his immediate predecessors, than her master Darth Bane.
Loved her in the Dath Bane books also the girl who used the light saber whip. Love a show includine all 3 Sith!!!!!!!
Bane and zanna need their own show series. The books were amazing and needs to be done from the books and done right
The jedi temple was originally a sith temple . The Jedi built a temple over it. Read the books, I wish and hope that they keep some things canon.
I was introduced to an exeptional sith that should get some serious "limelight".
That’s not true, there a “Jedi Master” called Overre. He, his father and grandfather are a family of Sith infiltrators. He was mentioned in the SWTOR timeline vid. There was also another spy posing as a Jedi master, forgot her name but you encounter her as a Sith Warrior.
Is There A Video About How Yoda Knew About The Rule Of Two?
A shame that the Jedi never discovered the Sith spying device. I wonder what would've happened had the Jedi found the thing during the Clone Wars.
Zanna an unappreciated Sith from the Rule of Two
You're a very interesting Star wars video 👍
That was a great story and she definitely and indubitably deserves more credit and attention
I love how he says the sacking
jason solo walked lumia (i dont know if her name is spelled correctly) dark lady of the sith though the jedi temple and even master luke skywalker was within feet of her for several mins. while jason and luke had a conversation. jason did this to test lumia ability to keep her self hidden from jedi. but zahanna was a lot better at it.
Hey boss, Im not usually one to correct you, however that being said Zannah wasnt the only Sith to have infiltrated the Jedi Temple or Jedi (shes still a badass though).
In Star Wars The Old Republic: Galactic Timeline Records 1-12 by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, one of the records mentions a jedi master that had come from a long line of prominent Jedi, but in reality said master (as well as the family line he was apart of) had been believed/discovered to have been a sith infiltrator under vitiates command the entire time.
Also there were also the Children of the Emperor (this is a bit of a stretch) in SWTOR. Two notable members who were Jedi were Jedi High Council Member Syo Bakarn and Jedi Knight companion Kira Carsen.
Your theory makes perfect sense. I agree with it.
Darth Malgus: Am I a joke to you?
interesting story. this should be made into a series of movies
This the first I’m hearing of this story. There’s a lot of great videos on this channel and this is the best one.
There are also audiobooks of the Bane Trilogy, among many others. Worth the long listen.
2:00 So this is where we got the inspiration Batman’s Bane villain 😂😂😂😂 and the venom ect…..
I was blown away when I first read it. Before this event I always kinda disliked/underappreciated Darth Zannah but this gained my respect. Infiltrating the home of the Jedi as a full Sith for DAYS is incredibly impressive.
Who better to be the only one to sneak in and out of the Jedi temple than a former Jedi 😂
This was a great vid… the Darth Bane trilogy are my favorite books.
The family of Sith Infiltrators that manipulated the Jedi between the Dark Wars and the Great Galactic War would disagree with your title.
Her and kenobi be the lightside form 3 master vs the dark form 3 zannah was that good
One does not simply walk into the Jedi temple and... wait, what's that? Oh, nevermind then
Love this story!
Childhood friend? You mean her cousin.
I wish we got a zannah/ cognus novel. Zannah was probably insanely powerful in some very unique ways by the time cognus was about to take her place given her rare gifts in the force. And cognus was such a cool and mysterious seeming character in the bane novels. If we had such a novel, I think zannah would be regarded as one of the most powerful and intelligent sith of all time, like a lesser sidious in many ways, and cognus would probably be one of the most sadistic and brutal sith of all time, coming across as an insane sociopath
I believe the title is wrong. If I remember correctly Lumiya went into the temple with Jacen Solo.
I dont recall if it was her abilities alone that protected her from detection like Zannah though.
Can we get a zannah comic or a just straight up rule of two game? You could borrow a lot from assasins creed style games as well as preexisting star wars games to showcase their dark side abilities. There is just so much to tell in the first few generations of the rule of two
@5:13 @7:36 that's my artworks!
Plus those stunning sith eyes .Lest we forget 😂😂
I was under the impression that Darth Sidious took Darth Maul to the Jedi Temple as part of Maul's training (they entered separately but within close proximity to each other) as a test to see how well he could cloak himself against the Jedi.
The First Lady Lord of the Sith and the begining, of the rule of two.
Disney, what a bunch of boneheads, not even marrow in that damn skull.
Just solid Bone.
She should have been Darth Lucifera the Light Bearer.
Do you guys know what is the music in the background that plays from the beginning of the video?
The only Sith to ever infiltrate the Jedi Temple... Til Darth Vader in Order 66.
such massive movie potential
I would love to read a Darth Zannah/Darth Cognus trilogy
Yes and to do it ten year's after the Jedi were convinced the Sith were utterly extinct forever, was staggering.
Thanks.
Zannah is one of my favorites.
Honestly Star wars should just do one off movies on different sith pairs building up the plan
Super cool (:
0:02 Darth Zannah
Can you make more videos on her? The only thing I know about her or what I’ve read in these books and I know nothing about her apprentice.
8:22 Makes sense.
Darth Sideous and Maul infiltrated the temple too.
What about Xanatos, Qui-Gon's second apprentice from the "Jedi Apprentice" book series. I know he was not a sith, and probabbly is not kanon, but he infiltrayed rhe Jedi Temple too, and nobody could locate him.
I have found a little problem with your thery as far as I know the sith holokron are kept in a locked vault and only jedi high council members have access to it if you remember even anikin could not get access because he was not given the rank of master how would a jedi padawan get access just a observation not a criticism i think you are awesome but I don't know how your thery would work ???? Please reply
Darth Zannah was truly spectacular until she lost the dual with Darth Bane ... it would be a thousand years before Bane would fail to preserve himself following his defeat of Zannah.
I never heard of Zanna before
It wasn't a childhood friend, I believe it was her brother that she ran into at the temple.
Iam sure Palpatine chilled in Jedi temple a few times
Not the only tho 🤔 I thought plagus and sideous snuck in during his training, I might be wrong tho
Not true! Darth Zannah was NOT the only Sith to infiltrate into the Jedi Temple. So did Master Barel Ovair. He was actually a scion of highly respected Jedi Knights who were all secretly spies working for the reconstituted Sith Empire in the years prior to the outbreak of the Great Galactic War.
Odds are Darth Zannah was the first to do so and was so efficient. And smarter than Darth Bane realized. She also learned about some dark side powers that she kept hidden from Darth Bane. She secretly trained in mastering them for years prior to finally challenging her master and ultimately defeating him.
I like the holocron theory but not any jedi could get into the holocron vault, only council members. So idk how she would have gotten it in there and also forged documents/ computer data stating how the jedi got it.
This man been reading his plagueis novel
Wow, I didn't know
This pisses me off how a sith managed to sneak into the Jedi temple without getting caught.
I mean.
Palpatine managed to gain power right under jedi noses so...
Meh.
It's totally possible.
@@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944 it makes you wonder what would have happened if the roles were reversed
Darth Zannah is one of my favourite sith. While Darth Bane is really cool, I like Zannah more. it's too bad the story didn't continue. I guess there might be comics about Zannah and Cognus and Cognus and Darth Millennial and Darth Millennial and Darth Vectivus and so on and so on and so on.
Zannah is one of the best siths ever she is so awesome i hope i movie or TV show around Bane and Zannah is made
Technically lumiya from legends as well went inside the Jedi temple when Luke’s order was in place
Sylvanas Windrunner
Darth Sidious infilitrated the Jedi Temple many times. The Jedi just didn't know he was a Sith. Also had Anakin doing his dirty work.
