Sidious is sitting in his office, aware that a Force signature is approaching.

Expecting Windu and the other Jedi sent to arrest him, he swivels in his office chair - only to find Darth Bane staring back at him.

He realizes this is not a situation that will lead to arrest - but death.

Standing up, he snaps his hidden lightsaber out from beneath his robe.

"It's to the death, then..." He says.

Then, screaming, he whirls in towards Bane...

1. Force

2. Sabers

3. All out

Hmm, peak Bane is Orbalisk Bane. Take Orbies away and he's just dead Bane.

Hmm... thought he was more skilled and powerful than that..

Too close to call. And I really don't want to get into another Sids vs Bane debate, so.....

Ah, understandable. I respect that.

Quotes from The Complete Visual Dictionary and Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia confirm that Palpatine is more powerful than Bane.

An assessment of skill requires more examination and it's entirely possible that Bane, a seasoned warrior, is the more skilled duelist than Palpatine the Chancellor.

Le Gasp! Gid saying bane may stand a chance?! The horror!

Yeh pretty much.

N.
Le Gasp! Gid saying bane may stand a chance?! The horror!

Yeh pretty much.

It is my understanding that this Gideon fella, in fact, never suggested that Bane didn't stand a chance, but simply reminded those who numbered among Bane's biggest fan(boys) that Palpatine is indisputably more powerful than Bane.

As much as I like bane more than sids i gotta give the force battle to sids.

But I give lightsaber and all together to bane.
