Darth Bane	comment	The Darth Bane series is a trilogy of books by Drew Karpyshyn set during the period of the New Sith Wars (roughly 1,000 years before the events of The Phantom Menace). It chronicles the life of Dessel, a cortosis ore miner that joins the Sith's army as a soldier and eventually becomes the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane, the founder of the Order of the Sith Lords that eventually spawned Emperor Palpatine. The first book Darth Bane: Path of Destruction was followed by Darth Bane: Rule of Two, where Bane begins training his apprentice Darth Zannah, and the series concluded in Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, which was released on December 8, 2009.The books are unusual in Star Wars Legends in that they are from the perspective of a character aligned to the Sith. Even more unusual, no attempt is made to portray the actions of Darth Bane as heroic or noblenote That said, during his time as a soldier in the Sith Gloom Walkers spec ops unit, he had a special camaraderie with his fellow squad members and put his life on the line for them many times. Instead, Bane slowly descends ever deeper into corruption and eventually becomes as evil as one would expect the Dark Lord of the Sith to be.Related to the Darth Bane books is an older comic book series entitled Jedi vs. Sith, which is set around the same time as the last part of Path of Destruction and explains how Zannah and her cousins (Darovit and Hardin) arrived on Ruusan during the final battle between the Jedi and the Sith. Although Bane is technically the Big Bad in this series, his appearances are sporadic. The story focuses mainly on Tomcat (Darovit) and Bug (Hardin) and is arguably closer in tone to The Lord of the Rings than Star Wars. Elements of the series are incorporated into the Bane books in Broad Strokes.The series as a whole was decanonized with the rest of Star Wars Legends in 2014, but the Darth Bane and Darth Zannah characters and Broad Strokes of the plot were restored to canon by Star Wars Helmet Collection #2 in 2016.Compare with Darth Plagueis, another Star Wars novel that has two Sith Lords as the main protagonists and also serves as an origin story for both characters.

Darth Bane / int_1206d299	comment	Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Bane allows Caleb to live after forcing him to save his life, since he may need his help again one day. Zannah does this a few times. Hesitating to kill Bane when the opportunity arise out of fear that she hasn't learned everything she can from him. Subverted in one case as she tells him that if he could not kill the assassins she inadvertently sent after him he didn't deserve to live.

Darth Bane / int_1843bf38	type	Visionary Villain
Darth Bane / int_1843bf38	comment	Visionary Villain: Both Bane and Kaan recognize the Sith's biggest problem is their chronic infighting sabotaging them every time they're close to victory. How they attempt to resolve it drives much of the first book's lot. Kaan unites the Sith under him as the Brotherhood of Darkness by recognising all his rivals - indeed, all Dark Side users in the army - as Dark Lords of the Sith, with himself as first among equals aka. the Rule of the Strong. While this is successful in stopping the constant backstabbing, it still leaves him constantly maneuvering to stay ahead of Qordis and his other enemies, distracting him from the war against the Republic. Bane sees all this and takes the opposite view; that too many Sith Lords dilutes the power of the Dark Side and leaves them all weak. He consequently evolves the Rule of Two to focus its power, wiping out the Brotherhood and abandoning open warfare in favour of working in secret to bring down the Republic in a strategy that he recognizes probably won't play out in his lifetime.

He had actually intended for the ending to be clear, but to many it wasn't. He noted that in order for the fan theory to work, readers would have to assume that he was being an unreliable narrator at the end of the book, something that he had never done before. "Unfortunately, “twist” endings have become so prevalent recently that I think people assume narrators are unreliable now by default..."

Darth Bane / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Darth Bane / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Double-bladed lightsabers, as Blademaster Kas'im explains. Despite the weapon's infamous reputation and supposed power, there are several big flaws and weaknesses to it: The two sides limit the user's movement, restricting them mostly to swings, while the elongated hilt presents an easy target for opponents. In addition, specialized training and greater stamina are also required, making it far more difficult to learn than traditional blade. The double-blade's real advantage is not its greater attack power, but how little most Jedi or Sith know about it, preventing them from using these weaknesses. Kas'im holds this to be even more true about Dual Wielding, outright refusing to teach it to any of his students and declaring it to be a useless form that only an idiot would use. Except this is a lie; Kas'im himself chose dual wielding as his true fighting style, with his double-bladed lightsaber splitting into two regular ones. He refused to teach the technique to anyone so that any student who might betray him would not only know nothing about how to fight a dual-wielder, they would focus all their preparation on the completely different strengths and weaknesses of fighting against a double-bladed lightsaber. The light-whip Githany favors is even more so. In practical terms it has all the usual drawbacks of taking a whip to a swordfight. Its only real advantage is that its uselessness has made it so obscure that most opponents have never even heard of it as a concept and won't know how to counter it. The Orbalisks form an impenetrable armor from their shells as they spread across Bane's body, as well as secreting rage inducing fluids making him even stronger. Without the proper precautions however they would inevitably kill him, or drive him mad with their hunger.

However, at least three Sith Lords before this occurred, Darth Tenebrous, Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, ignored parts of the rule for their own benefit: seeking ways to achieve immortality, murdering their master in a dishonorable way, training more than one apprentice at a time or training one behind their master's back. Darth Bane failed to take into account that Sith in general are driven by not just their desire to destroy the Jedi, but also by their passion and lust for power.

Darth Bane / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Ironically, given above-mentioned exposition about the weaknesses of double-bladed sabers, Darth Bane teaches Darth Zannah to use one, along with the Stone Wall Form III Soresu—a style mostly associated with the Jedi (its most famous master was Obi-wan Kenobi). His argument is that, being a small woman, she lacks the physical strength to use more aggressive forms effectively (such as his own Form V Djem So variant), so her best bet if she gets in a saber duel is to wear her opponent out by defending until they make a mistake she can exploit.

In that same time skip, Johun went from age 19 to 29, but because he was assigned to Chancellor Valorum, he spent more time learning politics than practicing with his lightsaber and Force abilities. As a result, when he and the other Jedi face off against Bane and Zannah in the climax, Johun himself is the weakest fighter in the room. Granted, he and Zannah had never even met before then, much less fought, but if they had, he would have been all but guaranteed victory.

Darth Bane / int_5ca80293	comment	Pragmatic Villainy: Bane spares Caleb after the latter heals him in the first book since he might need his abilities again. In general this is common for Bane as well as Zannah and was in fact one of the rules of his Sith order that they be pragmatically evil rather than outright evil. He all but outright states that cruelty and murder are useful tools but it's foolish to engage in them for their own sake. The same goes for pretty much everything: wealth, knowledge, etc. Everything is a means to gain more power, nothing more, and things like greed and sadism are forms of weakness. During Rule of Two, Bane starts up counter-plots against plans to destroy the Republic, not because he wants it saved, just that a fractured galaxy is more work. When Bane is injured, Zannah attempts to save his life. The reason for this is because he hadn't fully taught her all of his dark side abilities, yet. Why Zannah is Nice to the Waiter. People are more likely to help someone who's nice to them, giving her a small network of contacts of her own for a minimal cost. Zannah believes in no killing without a good reason. That said, the minute she has a reason... out comes the lightsaber.

Notably, Bane doesn't exclude himself from this belief; while held captive at the mercy of a vengeful enemy, Bane acknowledges that, by his own ideals, if he's not strong enough to save himself, he deserves to die. Likewise, he refuses to find a way to use the Force to heal himself or fix the damage the years do to his body, figuring if it kills him, he deserves it.

First by hiring the Huntress, which takes Serra to Coruscant to apologize to the Jedi, and then later on when she makes the spectacularly stupid decision to let Bane go free, out of a misguided sense of loyalty to an old comrade in-arms.

Darth Bane / int_9aaf8eca	type	Crippling Overspecialization
Darth Bane / int_9aaf8eca	comment	Crippling Overspecialization: Double-fold for Zannah: The only lightsaber style she mastered is the defensive Soresu. This means that, while she can protect herself from almost any opponent, she herself can't go on the offensive until the opponent tires out and/or makes a mistake- and if that doesn't happen she's in a risk of tiring out herself. Similarly, she only developed her sorcery-related Force abilities which, as powerful as they are, take immense concentration to use. This leaves her unable to perform them while defending herself in a lightsaber duel and conversely unable to defend herself while using them.

Darth Bane / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: Bane is kind of the anti-Luke Skywalker: both of their mothers died in child-birth. Bane's father was an Abusive Parent, and he was partially responsible for Bane growing up to be a sociopath. Luke's father didn't even know of his existence, and during their first meeting cut off Luke's hand in a duel, and tried to tempt him to join The Dark Side. Both Bane and Luke are immensely powerful in the Force. Both have brought around the destruction of the Sith Order of their time. As Bane rebuilt the Sith in accordance with his vision, so did Luke rebuild the Jedi Order. As if trying to lampshade this, when Bane made an appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he was voiced by Mark Hamill.

In Rule of Two, Bane goes to visit the late Freedon Nadd's tomb, noting it's still busted up from when Exar Kun came through several thousand years before. The site of Lord Kaan's thought bomb detonation on Ruusan was first featured prominently as the Valley of the Jedi in Jedi Knight and subsequent games in the Dark Forces Saga. In her infiltration of the Jedi Temple, Zannah sees statues of the Lost Twenty (Jedi Masters who left the Order). Since it's a prequel, they're not at twenty yet. When she comes through, it's merely the Lost Twelve. In Dynasty of Evil, Bane momentarily thinks on how his own holocron still has him in his orbalisk armor, despite him having long discarded it, as was shown in the Legacy comics. Bane kept it that way because the armor's distinctive appearance helps shield him while he's alive, since it obscures his face.

When Zannah first meets Set in his home, he seems to be partially drunk and—rather than ask Zannah what the hell she's doing breaking into his residence—asks her if she followed him home from the party out of lust for him, inviting her onto the couch with him. Zannah curses herself for ever thinking that such an idiot could make a suitable apprentice and lets her guard down...at which point Set drops the act and springs into action, nearly slicing her to pieces.

A particular example is the introduction of the Ruusan Reformation: after Bane decapitates the Sith Empire, the Republic annexes the formerly Sith-ruled territories, adopts a new constitution, and abolishes its federal military (there being no peer opponent to deter anymore). Characters who refer to a thousand-year Republic instead of a thousand-generation Republic and state there hasn't been a full-scale war since the Republic's founding are therefore referring to the predominantly peaceful period that followed the Reformation, and discounting the various brushfire conflicts that occasionally blew up (e.g. the Mandalorian Civil War).

He was capable of formulating incredibly complex and long-term plans, manipulating others easily, without even using the Force, and he accumulated an immense wealth of both money and information by using his facade as a trader,. He also happens to be a master lightsaber duelist, and an immensely powerful user of The Dark Side.

This is also shown in that the Chancellor of the second book is the first non-Jedi Chancellor in four hundred years, showing they were much more liked in this time.

Darth Bane / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: Despite his mastery of mind tricks, Kaan himself was weak willed and preached Rule by the Strong to hide his own weakness. Chancellor Valorum states that the Ruusan Reformations would bring and end to the Republic's decay and usher in a new age of prosperity and peace. One thousand years later, several individuals would say that the Republic's stagnation has been going for thousand years, and the Sith would use the Reformations to turn the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Bane is disdainful of petty sadism, preaches that there should only be two Sith at any given time, and feels that the Apprentice must overthrow the Master in the Duel to the Death rather than through trickery or deceit, to prove that the next Master is stronger than the last. Flash forward a thousand years, and Palpatine- the Sith who brings all of Bane's plans and ambitions to fruition- is the exact opposite of all of this, a sadistic psychopath with a warped sense of humour, who trains an apprentice Darth Maul while still serving under Plagueis, whom he murders by getting him drunk and torturing him to death with Force Lightning while he starts to sleep, partly out of fear that he might be slightly stronger than he is.

Zannah also qualifies, as her specialty in the Force is sorcery, which requires intensive study in the Force. Her only education was also through her study of the Force under Bane.

In any other Star Wars story, he might've succeeded. To be fair, he wasn't exactly wrong about her still caring about him, Darovit just overestimated how much. Lucia sees the Jedi as smug know-it-alls (well, in fairness...) and the Sith as being not so bad as all that. Of course, she's used to Kaan's type of Sith, since she worked for them, not Darth Bane's type of Sith, and especially Bane himself. It gets her and several other people killed, and it allows the Sith to live to plot another day.

The sorceress was destroyed, along with most other life on Ambria. It is now inhabited only by a handful of settlers, with plots of fertile ground few and far between. The Jedi attempted to cleanse Ambria of the Dark Side's taint, but the damages was permanent. They only succeeded in concentrating and confiding the Dark Side to a single lake. Tython, once the home of the first people to figure out the Force. By the time Bane pays it a visit, there doesn't seem to be anyone living there. Note the words "anyone" and "living".

Darth Bane / int_e16cd24e	type	Know When to Fold 'Em
Darth Bane / int_e16cd24e	comment	Know When to Fold 'Em: Bane concedes during his last sparring session with Kas'im, seeing that he cannot win and that it is only a matter of time before he exhausts himself, making it a waste of time to continue. Kas'im acknowledges this as a sign of just how far Bane has come as a swordsman. When Bane fights Kas'im later on he is again forced to acknowledge that he cannot best him in a duel, and decides to bury him under a mountain of stonework instead. Also Set Harth vs Cognus. Set shows himself to be a quick foe as he keeps ahead of Cognus's blades and Cognus is just as quick and dangerous as they do a game of hide and attack. They eventually decide to part ways on Sets' suggestion, with Cognus letting Harth take off in a ship rather than waste more time fighting. After his daughter was threatened by Bane the first time around, Caleb has her run off into the galaxy and change her name. On hearing this, Zannah immediately forgets looking for her, since trying to find one person in a galaxy with millions of worlds and no idea where to look would be impossible.

Outclassed by his former mentor's lightsaber skills, Bane ends up dropping most of the temple they're in on him. In Rule of Two, Darth Zannah meets a nobleman named Hetton offering all the Sith knowledge he's amassed in exchange for being made her apprentice. She sends him to kill her master Bane as a test, and he brings several Sith Assassins with him. Surprise and numbers don't help them.

It was originally a gift from Kas'im, who took it from his Master after killing him but never used it himself. After Zannah kills Bane, she gives it to Darth Cognus to use until she creates her own lightsaber.

Bane pushes out the supports of a stone temple and crushes the man instead. While trying to torture a confession out of Bane, Serra demands he tell her who killed her father. Bane is drugged to the gills, so he just says it wasn't him. He's not lying, because even if he wasn't drugged he'd still see no reason to do so. He legitimately didn't do it, it was Zannah, but Serra's too angry to think of asking who did.

The notion she is legitimately trying to free him out of hideously misplaced loyalty to her former squadmate just doesn't click.

Flash forward a thousand years, and Palpatine- the Sith who brings all of Bane's plans and ambitions to fruition- is the exact opposite of all of this, a sadistic psychopath with a warped sense of humour, who trains an apprentice Darth Maul while still serving under Plagueis, whom he murders by getting him drunk and torturing him to death with Force Lightning while he starts to sleep, partly out of fear that he might be slightly stronger than he is.
