Well, it simply isn't true. He did not move a moon. At least not in any of the books (released).

Thanks but why is the joke so popular?

It's thanks to one banned member... Nebaris? You've seen the name before. He constantly used Bane as a Deus ex Machina that couldn't be defeated by anyone short of LotF Luke or Jesus. His socks were easy to identify by their tendency to fellate the name of Bane and his "ability" to move a moon.

No, that's not where I get it at least. I think it's actually up to some level of debate as to what really happened. Basically, Bane needed to get from Dxun to Onderon to find Zannah. His plan was to fly on one of the Dxun beasts and "nudge" the entire moon closer to Onderson so the atmospheres would touch. I guess it was retconned, or whatever. But it's definately one of those things that's kinda "out there."

Not according to RoT. He flies through open space.

Case closed.

I'm just saying according to the original comics.

The JvS comics.

^Yep

Red Nemesis The Blind Critic

They have since been retconned. They no longer matter. (at least on this issue)

truejedi Senior Member

never read those. any of their content still good?

Darth_Glentract The Truest Sith Lord

How do we know they were retconned? I'm not saying that Bane did move a moon or anything, but unless some of importance (Lucas, Leeland Chee) says that the new books trump the comics, technically it's up for debate.

truejedi Senior Member

eh, the book trumps the comic because it specifically says he flew into space. unless a comic SPECIFICALLY SAYS that he MOVED the moon, then it would fall behind the book because of lack of details.

Darth_Glentract The Truest Sith Lord

That makes sense. The comics do specifically say that he planned too, though, which means he thought he might be capable of it, I guess.

Also, isn't the most recent source accepted as canon?

B/C of my anti-comic bias, I put books over comics anyway.

Darth_Glentract The Truest Sith Lord

No, the newer stuff doesn't automatically override the old just because it's newer.

Actually, that's kinda how it works. New sources take precedence.

1. the comic doesn't have Bane moving a moon. He meets Zannah and leaves with her, it ends there. Bane of the Sith, the short story, however, has Bane flying off, preparing to 'nudge' Dxun closer to Onderon. He's not shown doing so onscreen
2. Well, Rule of Two...he just flies between the worlds there.

Darth_Glentract The Truest Sith Lord

Since when do new sources automatically take precedence?

Lightsnake Senior Member

Since a while. Just look at Path of Destruction.

Darth_Glentract The Truest Sith Lord

It doesn't automatically override the older stuff.
