The Truth Behind Darth Bane

[fenris]

I'm posting this here because it has absolutly nothing to do with the Star Wars game in any way. I just wanted to say I've come to the conclusion that Darth Bane does not exist. I'm not looking to pick a fight with anyone who lieks the new trilogy or anything so just hear me out. If you have no desire to see what I'm saying then just leave peacefully because if provoked I promise I will fight back.

The biggest factor for deciding that Darth Bane does not exist is the fact the only real refrence about him comes out of a book. The Episode 1 novel in fact and if I weren't so lazy I'd even hunt out where in the book its at. Now we see how George Lucas regards whats in the books so they can't be trusted as valid sources of information.

So if it makes anyone feel any better the Sith stuff I know and like as just as invalid as Darth Bane since those are comic books and as I said George Lucas ignores the books in any of thier forms.

Darth who? Sounds like just another Sith Lord. Maybe we should all create Darth alias for ourselves.

Darth Bane is the crackpot who declared there could only be two existing Sith at a time. It's true that Civil War destroyed their Empire so he went into hiding and later emerged and created such a rule. He's as far as I know nothing more than a passing reference in the Episode 1 novel.

I think in the years since then he's been referenced in other places, and for all I know somebody may have written a whole book about him by now.
