Bane or Krayt?

These two are kinda analogous: they defied tradition to begin their own vision for the Sith. Which character is better and why?

Don't act like you believe Bane is a character

Petrus Debonaire Member

Better in what sense? Power? Combat? H2H? IQ?

It's not like there's an area where Bane competes anyway

Drew Karpyshyn's Bane wasn't even a character. Krayt actually has legitimate development and a good story arc.

Bane's legacy is greater, Krayt's character is better -- pick one of these to be the deciding factor.

Comparing Ostrander's writing to Karpyshyn's is like comparing Socrates to a brain damaged toddler with crayons.

Bane's legacy is Sith being better than him and him being the weakest of his order, while Krayt dominates most of the galaxy and actually can win duels without using a darkside nexus

Krayt shits

Yeah, Karpy blows him out of the water. Try saying that with a straight face. 😆

I'm honestly not that big of a fan of either of them, so opinions would be entertained.

Same tbh.

Krayt seems more interesting tho

Darth Bane has the advantage of being directly linked to the PT in a way that matters (so don't reply as Hett is FROM the PT as that's not the point), and his place in the story is actually pretty great since RoT is a huge deal. His main achievement is quite a unique one as he wasn't just pursuing power like other Sith, and even created an order that would cause his death, but eventually lead to Sith nirvana. The fact that his story was so poorly handled (I hear) is actually a sad waste of opportunity.

Krayt; he's a favorite of mine. Bane isn't, he's as blasphemous of a Sith as Kaan was.

As a character? Krayt, definitely. The only time Bane even has character is in PoD, and even then, well, it's not the best.

Krayt as a character obviously. Bane as a sith.

I'm surprised this poll is so lopsided.

You can't really argue Bane's the better character -- not in the context of Drew's writting. You can only argue what Bane did to the galaxy(i.e. creating the most successful Sith Order and the most powerful Sith Lord) and his own legacy is greater than Krayt's.

Bane's legacy is unquestionably better than Krayt's.
