look, if LUCAS CREATED HIM which he did THEN HE IS NOT I REPEAT NOT EU. He's been talked about in EU because Lucas was supposed to mention him in the films, Lucas said in interviews that we were going to learn about it in the library scene in clones but it didn't make sense in the course of the film as a whole. Now, it has been rumored that in EP3 Anakin gets a history lesson of the Sith from Palpatine, and that is most likely where we will hear of hiim if it makes it in the movies. But just to make one point absolutely clear-Bane IS Lucas' creation. Period.
Those who have seen the movies doesnt know anything about Bane regardless if Lucas created him.
As I have mention on numerous ocations in different post, what you learn by watching the film is enough, you cant create a story and expect people to look up extra material to get the grasp of things.
If Lucas decide to include Bane as a part of the Sith history in EP III well then we learn about a new Darth, but actually we dont need to know the origin of the Siths, we never knew the origin of the jedis so.
But so far we have only heard of 4 Darths (Maul, Tyranus,Sidious and Vader) 4 Darths regardless if Lucas have created this Bane charachter and chose not to include him in EP III.
But just to make one point absolutely clear-Bane IS Lucas' creation. Period.nobody argued against Bane being Lucas creation after all everything in the EU is based on things created by Lucas
does anyone else think that tyranus was genuinely trying to convince obi-wan to be his new apprentice so he could off sidious? I think the clone wars cartoon is as official as the movies (considering gl's heavy involvment) and I see the same roll for asajj ventress. sith are threacherous towards one another, after all
it stands to reason given Lucas' own explanation of the sith on the Episode 1 dvd, that they are always in unspoken competition since it is the nature of the Sith to seek(out more power. I've always thought that about that scene too Jello, that's why he tugs at Kenobi's emotions by bringing up Jinn.
