Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Bane

POD retconned it with Revan's holocron. Originally Bane went to Dxun and took Nadd's holocron and figured out the rule for two. Since Revan is credited with this (and since it's illogical that Nadd would have a holocron otherwise Kun would have taken it), the story has been retconned.

1. The Ro2 bullshit has been retconned, sure, but that's a completely different part of the story.

2. FYI, The DSSB directly states that the holocron was something that Kun missed.

Really? Please give me the page number and quote. Furthermore, it has been retconned because the holocron specifically gave Bane the idea for the rule of two. Since it was really Revan's holocron, that whole part was retconned.

The appearance of Quordis' spirit is a completely unrelated event. No retcon there thanks. Page number, I have no clue. I can't remember the exact section actually, but it's there. I'm thinking the section on either Bane or Dxun.

Yes, PoD retconned Bane learning about the rule of two from Nadd, but it doesn't contradict Qordis becomign a spirit, nor Kaan. He still went there, otherwise how did he get his armor? Just because one element is contradicted doesn't mean the whole thing is wrong.

On that matter, Kenobi would beat Qordis with comical ease. All Qordis ever did was get humiliated by Bane and then get killed by Bane in a wtf pwnage matter.

It contradicts the entire story, because he went to Dxun for the Nadd holocron. Since there really was no Nadd holocron for him to learn the rule of two, instead being Revan's holocron, it defeats any purpose of him being there

You appear to have gotten your information wrong. Bane doesn't go to Dxun for the holocron, he flees there after the destruction of the BoD, and is guided to the holocron after arriving.

Also, the holocron itself isn't retconned, just that thought that he came up with the Ro2 after studying from it.

The holocron IS what gave him the thought. It was retconned with the creation of Revan's holocron.

It depends how you look at it. You could say the thought itself is retconned, not the holocron, which played a larger part than simply giving him the idea for the Ro2.

DS, if the entire story is retconned, how did Bane get his armor, or did he never get it?

The existence of the holocron has been referenced to in other sources. The holocron itself shouldn't be retconned, given that it plays a larger part to the story than just providing Bane with ideas for the Ro2.

Name them. Now

That is exactly what I'm saying - the holocron is retconned, but the rest of the story isn't.

As I recall, the spirit of Kaan guides him to Dxun because there's something "there" for him to continue the sith legacy. That would be referring to Nadd's Holocron. Since he already found Revan's and the Nadd thing was retconned, there would be no reason for him to go to Dxun.

So no orbalisks? Then why does he appear in his corny armour in a holocron krayt summoned

Good point..

We will have to wait till the new book comes out then. Imo i think bane will be an over powered bullshit character. DK seems to overhype certein characters greatly exaggerating

Round 1. Bane is not sure about Kenobi but can feel nothing too powerful. He leaps into action with crushing blows and Kenobi is forced back, barely able to hold on to his Saber. As the round comes to a close Bane realises that his opponent's defence will be tough to break.

Before the end of the round, Bane has had enough. He focuses all of his energy into some sort of force push/crush/lift and Kenobi's defences are too weak to bear it.

Bane KO 1 via Hyper-Death.

After facing the likes of Maul, Dooku, Durge and Anakin I don't think Bane is overwhelming Obi Wan. I believe Obi could well embarrass Bane here. Obi ftw.
