I ask this because I thought the Sith didn’t become one with the force when they died, so they couldn’t come back as ghosts?
If so, how did Bane appear to Yoda on Moraband? I know there were illusions placed by Sidious, but this encounter seems to happen before he is aware of Yoda being on the planet and goes full “hocus-pocus” on him with Dooku.
I may be wrong, but wookipedia seems to also call this a “specter” instead of an illusion like the snake wraiths beforehand. Any ideas?
I'm currently reading the Darth Bane trilogy and can't figure out which category he would fit into. How would you answer?
In The Clone Wars, Bane said the Sith killed each other because of their own greed, and he accordingly survived and chose to pass on his knowledge to only one.
Now new Canon accordingly says that Bane was inspired by the natural power of a Force Dyad, an unseen bond for generations, possibly, probably his own generation.
Was this rationale, from the original Legends material, at odds with the idea of a Dyad, a Natural Inspiration for the Rule of Two, or does it harmonize? How could you reconcile these things?
I'm about halfway through the first book, and I'm having a hard time finding things to enjoy about it. The writing is very "tell-not-show" and comes across as amateur and somewhat juvenile. Darth Bane himself feels like he was written by an edgy 16 year old, and comes across as something of a Mary Sue. The book at least is easy, so it won't take me very long to finish, but I'm surprised. This is supposed to be the best novel of the trilogy and yet, in my opinion, it's shockingly poorly written.
The Darth Bane books are great, but I feel like I dont quite understand why Bane ended up doing what he did. Why did he hate the Jedi so much that he actually enacted the Rule of Two? Why go further than "huh, the Darth idea seems like it would be cool." Why was he so ambitious? It seems like he was just doing things for the sake of doing them, without a real personal motivation behind any of it.
I'd love a short story or something of Sidious post-ROTS with a Bane Holocron and him gloating
In Legends I think the fact the Sith were gone/hiding for a thousand years was pretty much ignored and we got some Sith between Darth Bane fighting the Jedi, so they knew they followed the Rule of Two
However, excluding all that Legends, how in Canon Mace Windu and Yoda knew of the Rule of Two at the end of The Phantom Menace? "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" Yoda says.
However, how could Yoda know this when the Jedi had no idea who Darth Bane was and they thought the Sith were extinct? TPM's ending thus imply that (maybe originally?) the Rule of Two was always a Sith thing that they knew about during their many conflicts, not a rule the last living Sith created because they had no idea the Sith weren't extinct
I know Yoda meets the Force ghost of Darth Bane during TCW, but even then, he spoke already knowing who Darth Bane and the Rule of Two were
Also, Darth Revan and I think Darth Nihilus would also appear in TCW as Force ghosts. How the hell would that even have been reconciled with Legends and Canon, specially because that scene made the Son, who is essentially a God, appear to be a lesser being to the deceased Sith Lords
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... (spoilers!)
The title says it all.
What are your opinions on either a live-action movie or television show with Star Wars character Darth Bane?
I'll start. A possible movie,
The biggest issue with me for a movie is not enough time to flesh out Dessel as a person. There are plenty of scenes throughout the book that are needed to show his journey on Apatros. The reason being is that Dessel is part of Bane, but knowing how a movie would go 2 hours isn't enough to flesh out his character. We've seen it time, and time again... Characters' pasts aren't fully fleshed out leaving a majority of questions unanswered.
So then, television show it is???!
While I think a TV show would be excellent in fleshing a character out, the right actors and cinematography are essential to immersing the viewer in the amazing world of STAR WARS! This is why I've come here to suggest a few actors we as viewers could imagine playing Dessel/Darth Bane. Firstly he is noted to be around 2 meters so when doing math 2 meters, 78.74 inches, or over 6 foot six inches. Not a lot of mainstream actors are that height, right? Well... here are a few names to suggest.
- Pablo Schreiber: Now when you look at Pablo I understand what your thinking "Man this guy is nuts if he thinks Pablo could play Darth Bane!", actually the contrary. With maybe a lot of knowledge of the character, Pablo Schreiber could immerse himself into the role of Dessel. He's played in movies such as 'Den of Thieves, and '13 Hours', which all appeared to be in a good state. With maybe a lot of working out to give us the broad-shouldered and muscular hulk' like appearance, he could pull it off.

- Mark Strong: Nothing to say about him. Very good actor lacking in the height aspect short about 4 inches. He is cold, intelligent, cunning, without remorse/mercy. Some of his major roles have played these aspects of Darth Bane.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I am thinking of getting the audiobook to listen to on the beach in a few moths….is the narrator and story good? I think the narrator can make or break a story no matter how good it is
Correct me please if I am wrong, but wasent it described by the Bane Trilogy and accompanying EU media like Book of Sith that Bane wanted an apprentice who would surpass and eventually kill him?
See photos for the exact comics you will receive! This is the entire run of Jedi vs. Sith and features the first appearance of Darth Bane. Feel free to ask any questions!
It Will be shipped how I would want to receive it as a collector and each issue will be individually bagged and boarded!
I do believe these are in VF-NM condition overall. Issue #1 has a small crease on the spine that doesn't appear to be color-breaking. Issue #4 looks like it may have some minor color rub. However, I am not a professional grader and can get my estimation wrong, but try to be as transparent on any flaws as possible.
Spoilers—————————•
Who else thinks that Bane might have survived the essence transfer and is simply posing as Zannah? Only problem is If this were the case, bane would have had to fail at the essence transfer at some point down the road. Because Plagiues and Palpatine are clearly not Bane.
Also, is there a conclusion to Set’s story somewhere?
I’m listening to the audiobook version of The Rule of Two and for some reason the duel at the end of the book is taken to a whole new level of awesome by the audiobook. I started thinking that we need a canon Darth Bane movie but to see that duel between 2 Sith and 5 Jedi in a live action or animated movie would be amazing! It would be like nothing that we have seen for the big screen before.
I’m really just looking for a bad dudes rise to power/ losing their morals. Bonus points for sci fi and fantasy :)
I’ve also read darth plagueis so no need for a recommendation on that
