Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil

New novel announced for December 2009. I bet this is where Bane dies and Zannah gets Cognus as her apprentice.

Cognus? That sounds like a nasal condition.

Cognus was never confirmed as Zannah's Apprentice to my knowledge.

But just kill Bane.

Zannah supposedly will become more powerful than Bane. Right?

I'll buy it

not supposedly will

Yes, 'supposedly will' until the third book is released.

She doesn't have to surpass him to kill him.

Yeah, she could just be a pvssy and kill him in his sleep.

Why am I not surprised that you think doing something smart is cowardly?

no she will become more powerful than him and guess what her apprentice becomes more powerful than her and that's how it goes until palpy the most powerful of them all.

and if his plan of turning anakin to the darkside wasn't mesed up by obi-wan than anakin would have become more powerful than palpatine.

Prove it.

Completely irrelevant. Anakin Skywalker was the most powerful individual ever born; he would have become more powerful than Palpatine with or without the tutelage of the Sith.

You base this argument on what, exactly? There's actually evidence proving it's not necessarily the way it works.

Revan and Malak, for example. Is Malak more powerful than Revan? No. Would he have become more powerful? No. See?

Your argument doesn't work simply because there are too many factors to consider within the Master's death in the hands of the Apprentice.

Dude it was a joke. Personally I approve of doing the smart, 'cowardly' thing if it works.

I do though think its pretty dumb to kill someone just before you learn their uber godly technique. Could Palpatine not wait a few more days?

I think the entire point of the Rule of Two is that your apprentice is supposed to surpass you.

Not that it actually happened that way, but still. Bane jumped the shark past book one. He served his purpose in the first book. Why do we need a third one on him?

Because he's a decent character with a fanbase that wants to know what happens to him beyond 'he dies'. I mean what was the purpose of writing about what happened after ROTJ? To serve the fans who were curious. Same here.

Plus there are still moons who don't bow down to his awesome powa!!1! Examples must be set.

Fanbase.

I think everyone is interested in how Bane dies and how his legacy begins to get carried out.

revan and malak weren't under the same rule of two as banes order.

and the entire nature of the banes rule of two is to make the sith stronger. like gideon said it may have not turned out that way but so far the way zannah's character has been written implies that she will become more powerful than Bane and the rule of two also implies that she will surpass Bane in power because that's the whole point

There's going to be nuclear war.

I'll prove it to you after it happens, kay?

1.) You can't presume that something is going to happen and then treat it like established canon.

2.) There is no evidence to support the theory that each successive Sith Lord is more powerful than his or her master. Bane's Order was as much about ideology, knowledge, and planning as it was about brute force, if not moreso.
