Palpatine runs the Bane gauntlet

Somebody a while back said Bane at the beginning of Dynasty Of Evil was able to vaporize every drop of rain around him for ten minutes in a severe thunderstorm, without a single drop ever touching him and some guy calculated it and said his combat-speed was equal to the muzzle-velocity of an M-16 assault rifle.

I used an M4 in Afganistan, which has a similar rate of fire, so that's pretty damn fast.

Guy who did the calculations said Bane could swing his lightsaber 62 times a second.

That's faster than Luke Skywalker in The Unifying Force who could swing his lightsaber 20 times a second.

I'd like to read that calculation again, it was pretty interesting.

Edit: Found it.

Zampano proved that Prime-Bane, which is Bane at the beggining of Dynasty Of Evil, is over 40 times faster than Grandmaster Luke Skywalker in The Unifying Force.

Not bad.

Even if you wanna pretend to know the intensity of the rain, Luke was described as if he wielded 20 lightsabers at *once*, not 20 strikes per second.

(I know you're joking but still)

Calculations you provided were informative. Even Bane can beat most powerful Jedi in history it seems, and he is weakest member of his order.

Show me where it says he's the weakest member of his order. 🙂

You underestimate true capabilities of Palpatine, however. His apprentice Count Dooku have moved faster than light. Have a look:

Obi-Wan used the Force to summon his lightsaber and tossed it to Anakin. With two lightsabers, the young Jedi attacked anew. Bur Dooku blocked every thrust and, step by step, drove Anakin back. He slashed through one lightsaber, extinguishing its blade. Then, with a stroke [color=blue]faster than light, he cut through Anakin's right arm at the elbow.[/color]

The young Jedi dropped to the ground in agony, gripping the smoking stump of his sword arm.

You think Count Dooku is faster than Palpatine? I think not. Palpatine is much faster than him and also Darth Bane. Darth Bane have nothing on Palpatine in terms of speed. [/B]

Bane's lightsaber was fast enough to be in 60 different places at once.

Grandmaster Luke's lightsaber in The Unifying Force was fast enough to be in 20 different places at once.

A slower Luke in Dark Empire was able to move faster than the most powerful version of Palpatine and cut his hand off.

The version of Luke that was faster than the most powerful version of Palpatine, was still slower than the version of Luke who was moving his lightsaber in 20 different places at once.

And Bane's lightsaber was fast enough to be in 60 different places at once - so he is well beyond the most powerful version of Sidious in speed.

You think DE Luke is faster than TUF Luke? I think not. 😆

Nice try. 🙂

😆 So we're downplaying Luke now?

Here:

For a millennium, the Sith maintained the order in secrecy, passing down their evil heritage. As they gained knowledge of the dark side of the Force, their powers increased with each generation.

From (Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace Scrapbook)

Banite line became more powerful with each generation. Darth Bane was first and therefore weakest.

Bane's lightsaber was fast enough to be in 60 different places at once.

Grandmaster Luke's lightsaber in The Unifying Force was fast enough to be in 20 different places at once.

You think DE Luke is faster than TUF Luke? I think not. 😆

Nice try. 🙂

You think Darth Bane moved lightsaber in 60 places at once? Darth Bane moved lightsaber 60 times per second. They are not same, my unworthy son.

Count Dooku have moved faster than light. Palpatine have moved faster than Count Dooku. Darth Bane have nothing on Palpatine in terms of speed.

Plus, Luke was amped.

😆 Let's take a look at that quote again:

Unfortunately because you're a pseudo-intellectual and English is not your first language, you misinterpreted your quote. 😆

- The quote simply says that the Sith gained knowledge of more powers over time.

Never does it infer that he was the weakest - so you fail. 🙂

Bane at the beggining of Dynasty Of Evil still demonstrates a greater speed than Palpatine has ever known.

Future Sith had access to a greater number of powerS - but Bane at his prime was still faster than all of them. 🙂

Hahahahahahahaha.

😆 So which is it?

Did Bane move his lightsaber 60 places at once or 60 times per second?

Either way - he's faster than Palpatine. 🙂

Count Dooku have moved faster than light. Palpatine have moved faster than Count Dooku. Palpatine have nothing on Darth Bane in terms of speed.

And DE Luke moved faster than DE Sidious - and DE Luke is slower than TUF Luke, who moved his lightsaber 20 times all at once.

And Bane moved his lightsaber 60 times all at once - making him faster than DE Luke and DE Sidious.

Yes, Darth Bane is faster than DE Sidious.

Let that sink in, my pseudo-intellectual daughter. 🙂

Sidious scales from a dude who deflected blasterfire from ten thousand droids. Bane isn't shit.

🙄

There were many Sith in Banite line. Every one have power. So there were many powers. Their powers increased so Bane is weakest. You understand now?

Bane at the beggining of Dynasty Of Evil still demonstrates a greater speed than Palpatine has ever known.

And DE Luke moved faster than DE Sidious - and DE Luke is slower than TUF Luke, who moved his lightsaber 20 times all at once.

And Bane moved his lightsaber 60 times all at once - making him faster than DE Luke [B]and DE Sidious

Yes, Darth Bane is faster than DE Sidious.

Let that sink in, my pseudo-intellectual daughter. 🙂

English is not my first language but I am an educated individual with the intellectual capability to understand much of the content. Kindly refrain from questioning my comprehension skills with idiotic logic.

Do you physics? It seems like I am dealing with kids and college dropouts here.

If Count Dooku have moved faster than light you can do math for Palpatine.

Oh dear.
