(Dynasty of Evil) Darth Bane -vs- Darth Plagueis (Darth Plagueis)

We all know Gideon liked to use his socks for *ahem* private things. But, what can you do? 😛

And I agree with Zampano. Those are the disagree'ers. Disagreeers? Disagrers? Who cares

Advent, LS, and Enyalus would disagree.

Nah. Advent and Enyalus routinely cowered before Gideon, though LS was pretty good, too.

Come to think of it, Gideon might disagree as well.

He is a pretty modest guy, it wouldn't surprise me.

This is probably one of the closest fights I have ever seen...

(Just checked the Poll)

I'll skew the results for you, one sec.

And done. Up-voted Bane on all three categories.

Plagueis loses sabers , the rest might be close, but not sabers.

Thanks.. 😛

Honestly, I don't know who I'm rooting for here..

I like both characters.

Bane is a bad ass with a lightsaber, and just awesome in general - and Plagueis was incredible with the Force - and caused Sidious to piss his pants..

This is one hell of a fight.

You did that with the other thread, too. 😛

Well, I think that at this point, we should say: We almost got 7 pages of pure nothingness. We iz awl Bawsses.

I'd like to see it, for one. Would be better than any PT fight we've seen.

It's a trap. 😛

Too bad he would get layed and prayed by Brock Lesnar for 25 minutes if they ever competed in a wrestling match. In fact... it's very likely Brock would have his way with him if you took away bane's lightsaber and offensive force powers. There isn't much bane can do when he finds both his arms and legs pinned to the ground and in bottom control underneath an absolute beast of a man in Brock Lesnar.

GTFO with that nonsense Ray.

Wrong Thread. 😛

No kidding.

It (likely) stems from the belief that, since Sidious is more powerful than Bane (confirmed by sources ranging from The Dark Side Sourcebook to The Complete Visual Dictionary), Plagueis's superiority over Sidious would indicate superiority over Bane.

How that would necessarily result in Plagueis's ability to defeat Bane in the context of a strict duel remains to be seen, but then, so does the idea that Sidious was weaker than Plagueis.

I just thought it speaks to Plag's overall abilites if Sidious was unwilling to challenge him outright. We know that Bane and Sid's are somewhat comparable and if Sid's thought his Master a challenge to be wary of then Bane likely would as well.

In the end though part of it may simply relate to the mindset of both Plagueis and Sidious as it was instilled in him duriung his training. Both seemed to favor subtlety and cunning over direct confrontation at times, so perhaps Sidious simply thought of it as a greater testament to his Sith abilities that he could take his Master unaware with poison.

Is there anywhere that explains exactly what happened in-depth?

Undoubtedly Sidious regarded Plagueis as a challenge; the prologue of the novel has him "concern[ed] for his own safety" when he briefly senses a disturbance in the Force and fears Plagueis returned from the dead. But that is insufficient reasoning to conclude he would beat Bane.

And what do you mean by "what happened"? Plagueis's death?

Yeah. I only know of what he mentioned in ROTS when telling that Plag was poisoned by his Apprentice, whom we later learn was Sidious. I haven't read anything that gives details of how it came about.

Ah. Well, you should read Darth Plagueis, the novelization by James Luceno, released earlier this year.
