Dynasty of Evil Discussion

If they're implying that Revan dressed like that after he was corrupted, then they obviously don't read the KOTOR comics which explains why Revan has the Mandalorian mask.

I guess the Sith Emperor was so stunned by Revan's awesome taste in fashion he had it declared an official policy.

Personally I think this the EU's biggest problem, this apparent lack of communication between different writers and designers.

Well to be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a writer shit on so many different sources all at once. It's as if they said "**** it, this is n-canon", and went from there.

i was just combing through drew k's blogs and i found something interesting. he says apparently there was supposed to be a showdown in ROT for the mantle of master. he says he just wasn't ready for one of them to die, and that he enjoyed writing about both. now, after reading his spoiler blog a few times over, i realize he wasn't ready to let either of them die in DoE either. he's saying there is some part of bane still there, just in zannah's body. to me, that's shitty writing. he had three books about them, he should have only had one victor in DoE, i see no point in cramming both of them into Zannah's body. if there is a fourth book, which there probably will be, i won't be reading it. Drew just lost thousands of cool points in my book, he's too attached to bane and zannah to let one of them go. next thing we know, zannah will take over cognus, and then it'll be three's company in the iktochi's head. GAY.

I believe that proper term is ghey.

I'm definitely a bit late.

True but youre a bit late

You have teh awsomezz grammaaaaa!

I'm sure it'll come eventually. I mean, you have been careful with your boyfriend, haven't you?

😖hifty:

^Haha exactly what I was thinking.

Thrice it was thought.

well, I just finished the book, in 2.5 hours, so i'm so glad i didn't spend 27 dollars on it....

My opinion is that Zannah won that confrontation.

That was the authors opinion as well, like we've been saying for a few days now.

That explains a lot

I made an account just to discuss this book. I think the reason there is such a huge discussion is because Drew ****ed us, in being clear about the ending. If I hadn't found this thread and looked at spoilers, I would still be under the impression that Bane was successful with his essence transfer.

However, he tells Cognus that Bane is dead. I thought this was done to show her that the rule of 2 must be obeyed, giving her the first real lesson as a sith. If he had been like "y0 its me Bane but I have **** and a vag now", Cognus would have less respect for him, and the Rule of Two in general.

I'm going to stick with my gut and say that Zannah = Bane, even though Drew completely ****ed this up.

Edit: Also

"Still, some people interpreted the scene that way. I guess I can see it, but you’re making a lot of assumptions to come to that conclusion. First, Zannah is asking Cognus questions that Bane already knows the answer to. Yes, it could be part of “tricking” Cognus, but that assumes Bane would *want* to trick Cognus. And I honestly don’t know where people get that impression from. Bane WANTED a stronger successor to overthrow him; the only reason he learned the ritual was because he needed to prolong his life if Zannah proved to be weak. Yet somehow people made the jump that Bane not only took over Zannah’s body, but was then hiding the fact from Cognus in order to later take over her body… possibly in a line all the way down to Sidious himself. (That is NOT what I was trying to imply, but a lot of readers went there.)"

Then why even have him try the transfer in the first place?

I think the idea of the transfer was that Bane was running out of time in his own life span; he wasn't really old or anything, but in thinking that Zannah was not living up to what he expected of her, he thought he would have to train a whole new Apprentice... something that took several decades with Zannah alone. He wanted a fresh youthful body so he could try again.

Meanwhile, I think Zannah won out.

Also, I do rightly recall that Karpyshyn actually has an account on KMC and has posted here before...

There was some discord in Bane's behavior. Bane is the very definition of a character that only cares about himself. He has no personality traits aside from being a complete monster. Now, since he is a Sith, then he is utterly and completely selfish and should always desire power since that's what Sith do, because Sith are two dimensional carboard cutouts of cartoonish villainy.

Considering this I ask, why does Bane want to train a second apprentice if he gets a hold of the eternal life secret? Could he not simply body hop over and over again and became the ultimate Sith Lord? Does he do it out of a loyalty to the Sith Order? If so, then he is not the Sith'ari, because the Sith'ari is a being that is completely free, a creature with no obligations to anything other than themselves.

It doesn't make sense as to why Bane would seek out the secret to immortality, only so he could have more time to train a new apprentice. Why should he care if he can live forever? He is a being of complete selfishness. He should realistically not care.

This would be kool. Lulz if we called him dumb and chased him away (like what happened on the Mugglenet chat roam oance i think?)

exactly. his goal was for the sith to rule the galaxy. Since he can rule the galaxy personally now, there was no reason for the rule of 2 to continue.

Tell me something though, anybody think we shall see a tie-in with a PT character or even (OHMIGOD!!!!) Abeloth being tied to Set, who escaped with the secret of eternal life?
