[@juliemunoz2762]

I loved the story, but I have one criticism and question. What’s the deal with the use of visuals using characters that have nothing to do with the storyline? Such as Darth Vader and Anakin and others. It’s sort of threw me off at times I figured maybe you used those because there was lack of artistic rendering of the characters you were depicting. I’d like to hear your reasoning. Thank you.

[@SithReign]

@@juliemunoz2762 Hey! The answer is a lack of relevant content🥲 I’d love to use pictures that depict exactly what’s happening for every scene, but in a two hour video (approximately a thousand pictures), there just isn’t enough out there. To get all those commissioned would be a multi-million dollar project. This already took 200+ hours, and it’s free, so forgive the lack of picture perfect scene relevance please :)

Darth Bane needs his own movie!!!! I Loved the books.

[@oVoxxy]

They would fumble a movie so hard lol and bane needs a whole trilogy not just a single movie one 2hr movie per book or a mini series that’s 6 episodes and she’s time jumps after every two or three episodes

They would change bane into a black non binary lesbian or some shit.

Technically, Revan created the Rule Of Two, Bane had enforced it

[@MrWill9002]

@@karlsmith2570 Well technically no he didn’t. Remember despite only having one apprentice he still had an army of Sith and Dark Jedi as well

[@Phoenix-J81]

​​@@MrWill9002 Revan recorded it on a holocron and hid it. It wasn't enforced, but it was his belief, and Bane found it. 😂 So yeah, Revan started the rule of two.

[@MrWill9002]

@@Phoenix-J81 No he didn’t you idiot. Revan still had an army of dark Jedi and there was more than two Sith Lords. And he never hid his holocron on Dantooine, but at Lehon inside that temple

[@FoolishPrince]

​​​@@Phoenix-J81actually no. You and revan fanboys fail at comprehensive reading. In Revans holocron he stated that all the sith should be ruled by the strongest as the Dark Lord of the sith (just like the ancient sith, the traditions that kaan and the brotherhood rejected by declaring everyone "dark lords" and equals). Then Revan stated that any sith master who trains more than one apprentice is a fool, as they would rally together and overthrow their master, further weakening the order. Bane after listening to Revans holocron was going to create a "rule of one"(different from krayts) where Bane is the ONLY Sith: Bane dismissed this idea then created "The rule of two", where there would only be TWO SITH in total. So no, If Revan created the rule of two in his holocron, Bane wouldnt be musing about the corruption of the brotherhood and then come with the conclusion that the Sith needing to be purged and dwindled down to two. Therefore Revan obviously did NOT come up with the Rule of Two. Two there shall be, no more, no less: one master and one apprentice, one to embody the power and the other to crave it. Bane even muses that the Sith could tempt followers to their service with the promise of power, sharing little secrets of what the dark side had to offer, as an owner would share scraps from the table to his faithful currs. In the end there would only be One true sith master, and to serve this master there would only be one true Sith apprentice. Darth Bane Book 1 "path of destruction" ...You're welcome

As a relative neophyte to the historical backgrounds and contexts of the Star Wars saga, this is pure gold. Thanks man. I really appreciate your work. Well done.

[@drjohnson920]

I always wanted to read about bane having to go back to Groshiks cantina. I loved the interaction between des and groshik and thought it would be cool to see how he treated groshik once he was the dark lord of the sith , especially since groshik helped him and Des promised to make it up to him . Would Bane consider that promise null and void since he became bane ? Would be cool if he somehow ran into him maybe groshik would be in prison because the republic blames him for helping des escape justice and then maybe the jedi tracked bane back to oro and interviewed groshik to try and learn about bane . Some type of short story would be awesome

[@Tyrosine0910]

Groshik would be meaningless to Bane, as he abandoned his former self & life, along with all personal relationships.

Only thing I don't like about Bane's story is that he tried to possess her body after she defeated him in single combat. Think it would've made more sense if he died with smile on his face because his rule of 2 philosophy

[@SithReign]

It could have been his way of administering a “final test.”

[@FoolishPrince]

How i took the meaning of this scene: zannahs dark side tendrils would have sent Bane to the void, as that's what he felt when he was hit by one. And since failure of essence transfer would send him to the void, he decided "what the heck" and tried it anyway, might as well at that point. Plus i agree with the above comment, a good way to administer a final test.

At some point in the books. I can't remember why cause it's been so long, but Bane had a twitch where he would clench and unclench his right hand. After the battle, the book closed with Zannah having that same twitch.

[@SithReign]

Yeah! That's a great detail. It creates some interesting implications considering the essence transfer ritual is supposed to basically destroy one's soul in the case of failure. Maybe it suggests that it actually doesn't? Not completely, at least.

There was a little snippet in the story that leaves just a hint that maybe part of Bane remained. Bane had the tremor in his hand, and after the battle of wills, Zannah had the same tremor. So it is possible that he simply took on her identity, or that part of him remained within her.
