KMC Forums - Is there a Darth Bane in Ep3

I guess this all bears repeating since the same questions are being asked here as in the OTHER Bane thread... These are two of my posts from that other thread of the same subject: Who is Bane?

"Bane was an idea that Lucas toyed around with to throw in as Sith backstory but he hasn't actually used it on film. it is in all of the novelizations except AOTC as far as I know. Its covered in detail in the Dark Horse comic mini-series "Jedi vs. Sith". In the comic, which takes place a thousand years B4 the PT/OT, there are as many Sith as Jedi and they are in an all out war for supremecy. During the course of the war, one especially evil Sith, Darth Bane (the first Sith with the Darth title because its actually his first name: think Caesar the person which becomes Caesar the position to honor the original's greatness) figures out why the Sith can't win, they just can not work together when there are so many vying for power at once. So he does what must be done: Eliminates every single Sith. He wipes them all out. Then he takes a young jedi girl (really young, like 6 or 7yrs old) as his new Sith apprentice. Bane then creates the rule of "only two" sith at a time to cut down on in-fighting. Every Sith since then has taken the name "Darth" as a title, in tribute to Bane's greatness. Many believe that "they" (those who control the overall SW time line with books/games/comics/etc) should set the comic back a couple thousand years to after the KOTOR comics and before the KOTOR games, as the Sith in the KOTOR comics don't use the Darth title and the KOTOR game Sith DO use the title since they are post Bane."

"...the original 6 volumes of the Knights of the Old Republic comics put out by dark horse comics in the early to late 90's. They are:
The Freedon Nadd Uprising
Dark Lords of the Sith
The Golden Age of the Sith
The Fall of the Sith Empire
Redemption

these contain the sith lourock mentioned. Back in those comics, the Sith were not always the name for Dark Jedi. Originally there were Jedi, some dark jedi broke off. They eventually settled on a planet whose main population was a race called "Sith". This group of Dark Jedi took over the planet and used it as there new "home planet". Thus, Dark Jedi became known as the Sith. There were many Sith in the time described in these comics. They constantly battle the Jedi for supremecy until Darth Bane destroyed the Sith, started the only two rule, which led up to the Revenge enacted by Darth Sidious against the Jedi. A thousand years of planning passed from generation to generation, Sith Lord to Sith apprentice, until finally it was perfect and completed by Darth Sidious who "destroyed" the jedi only to be betrayed by his own apprentice, Darth Vader who kills Sidious, and ends the Sith forever.

Of course, the only part of this that is "canon" is what's in the films, but that is the EU history of the Sith, pretty much the only history of the Sith too since Lucas doesn't really go into all that much detail."
