Who wins?

Bane and Zannah vs. Jedi Strike team

RoT Bane and DoE Zannah

The strike team consists of: RotS Anakin, TFU Shaak Ti, Depa Billaba and Raskta Lsu.

Setting: Naboo royal palace

To spice things up, Bane and Zannah capture Padme and barricade themsleves in the throne room.

Who prevails?

Jedi dominate. Anakin can hold off Bane while Lsu, Depa, and Ti utterly crush Zannah. Then they all go and team-up on Bane.

Anakin would be one-shot by Bane's Force powers or demolished in a duel. The Sith dominate. Zannah mindcrushes any of these guys and holds the other 1 while Bane destroys his two opponents. Raskta can't take on Bane for long without the BM.

I thought RoT Bane was held in a much higher esteem, no?

And if Zannah can defeat Revan, she surely can do quite good here.

EDIT: nvm, beat to it by Nephtys

"if" 🙂

May God have mercy...

The fact that Zannah would be compared to Revan (and argued to be his superior) in one of the most lively threads on SWVF would suggest she is above the likes of Depa or Ti, no?

Anakin can't block lightning on RoT Bane's level. Not to mention TK able to disintegrate a dozen opponents with a thrust of his hand. And obviously Zannah's mental attack would be super effective on him.

Nah, Neph was just being a giddy fanboy.

Why can't he? You don't have to be as strong in the Force to block someone's lightning. Besides, a Bane shooting sith lightning is completely vulnerable to attack.

A crippled Vader crushed a room full of durasteel just by getting angry.

I seem to recall that only being effective against Force users on that weird planet?

is he though?

Darth Bane has done insane things like using torrents of rain as lightsaber practice and sucking the knowledge out of a holocron. What has Anakin done that is on that level? Killed Dooku? Dooku isn't even close to Banes level

Zannah isn't on Bane's level, though. She holds her own against him in their duel, but that's because she uses soresu and knows all her master's moves (think Anakin vs. Obi Wan); she never actually gains the upper hand. She takes advantage of the DS being strong on the planet to use her sith sorcery, a trump card which won't apply here unless if I'm mistaken about the conditional-planet thing.

I'm just hating on Anakin atm. He sucks so bad, his farts go inward.

Because Anakin has never demonstrated the capability to block lightning as powerful as Bane's. And meh, he just needs to raise a hand. It's not as if he hasn't got near complete protection via orbalisks or anything.

That's nice.

You recall..... poorly.

weakest argument I have seen yet. A person throwing a lightsaber is open to attack, as is a person flinging a heavy object with TK.

1. Vader/Anakin always goes unnaturally powerful when he is thinking about Padme and Sidious just told him that he had killed her in his anger.

2. Bane crumbled a temple with a Force Push. I think that beats destroying a single room.

Anakin being pone to mental domination or Zannah having really powerful illusions? Either way your wrong. Anakin has no special defenses for Mental attacks although he isn't weak to them and Zannahs mind spells work no matter where she is

Anakin is weak against Zannah's mental spell though, since he's ****ing insane and has the most issues of basically any SW character.

Obviously. That's why you don't see fighters frivously throwing their lightsabers. 🙄

Obviously. Although it's not the same thing at all, because flinging an object is a one-time thing, while FL will have to be sustained against Anakin's defenses. (duh?)


1. Vader/Anakin always goes unnaturally powerful when he is thinking about Padme and Sidious just told him that he had killed her in his anger.

Balanced by the fact that he had been crippled, put into a suit and essentially robbed of half of his Force potential.


2. Bane crumbled a temple with a Force Push. I think that beats destroying a single room.

Does it? That room was made of durasteel. The temple Bane collapsed was on its last legs.

Zannah found herself in a similar situation in RoT. She found that trying to use her mind spells is a bit of a problem when she's being attacked by a team of Jedi.

BTW, I'm pretty f*cking sure that at least the strength of her sorcery is highly conditional. Otherwise she could just dominate Bane at her whim.

Jesus. I never thought a forum post could spread so many terminal illnesses.

Anakin may be a whiny little prick, but he's a dangerously powerful whiny little prick. Think George Bush.

Wait, so now he's doing it with one hand? That just makes my point stronger.


That's nice.

You recall..... poorly.

Please, what is the strongest person Zannah has effectively used her sorcery on in neutral territory?

If you disagree with me theres no need to be so dismissive about it.

You had a point? Bane disintegrated 2 people and turned a Drexyl into a charred husk with one hand, a decade before the end of RoT and with only 2 orbalisks. Anakin isn't even blocking that, let alone Bane's two handed peak lightning. 😬

It doesn't compare.

What do you mean by effectively?
