The Darth bane trilogy is so enthralling I have read it and listened to the audio book countless times and I never get tired of it. If only a show or movie could be made someday not by Disney
This was a nice book about Darth Bane to recommend. A part of me kinda wanted to see a book series/trilogy about Darth Zannah set after the Bane trilogy.
nah tbh I don't like zannah. Well I don't like how fast she just spawned I to the story. Path of Destruction was half his origins story then his new beginnings on his path to restore ancient sith traditions. It felt him coming across his apprentice was forced and REALLY convenient. He just literally walks across a random girl full of hate who do happens to have the force lmao. In my opinion first two books should have focused on Banes explorations, ambitions, run ins with Jedi and his name being Malevolent legend. Third book should have been finally crossing paths with a worthy apprentice and their training and a deep dive into him teaching sith tradition. Then countinue the story from there
Yeah Drew wanted to do another story with Zannah and Cognus. Would love to see it, I thought Cognus was a fascinating character. Someone who used the force in a unique way with no training. Imagine the visions she could unlock by gaining more power and honing her skills.
Great review! From memory, I think in both the comic and the book the floaters started going loco after Bane taught the Sith wannabes how to start a huge storm through Sith rituals. The storm started a fire in the woods where the Jedi army were. The Jedi army started panicking and the Sith started picking them off when they came out of the woods. But then Farfalla came in with the promised reinforcements and drove the Sith back. It was then that Bane taught the wannabes about the Thought Bomb. But the Jedi started killing off the floaters right after the Sith retreated following Farfalla's arrival.
I would recommend you go through Knight Errant that depicts events 32years prior to this book to see the sorry state the galaxy was in due to a thousand years of war. The timeline in Knight Errant is split between comics and a novel, but I had no problem with that. The comics are readily available online, while the novel was very well done voice-to-text by a YT channel (including some more than ok audio effects on the side).
My man, my friend, thank you very much for this and reviewing Dark Empire, much appreciated a whole lot, thank you. And can I just say, when you did your Sequel Trilogy rewrite, and you made the Yuuzhan Vong the Main Threat, fucking solid dude, A+ quadruple, perfection, just as much praise as I can say to you, and as much gratitude as I can say to you, thank you a metric fuck ton for that, much, much, much, much obliged for that man. Because the Yuuzhan Vong ARE AWESOME, I LOVE THEM. And speaking of the Yuuzhan Vong being awesome, one last thing, how's this for an idea for a video, Why The Yuuzhan Vong are Awesome, breaking everything down as to why they're cool, backstory/origins, characters, motivation, culture, weapons and ships, the whole shebang, as much as can be said about them, and I, ounce more, would be very much so grateful for that, any and all Yuuzhan Vong fans would be for that. But hey, you don't have to man, I'm just throwing out an idea is all, that's it, just saying.
If they Bring back the Yuuzhan Vong as the Antagonist, they'll make them White Colonizers or Colonizers Adjacent, while Rey's Jedi Order can kick their Asses with One Hand Tied behind their Backs.
@@conradojavier7547 Your Right. Good Point. Because Disney and Lucasfilm, being the fuck hacks they are, of course they would fucking do that. Either that, or if somehow they get the Yuuzhan Vong somewhat right, they would still fuck them up, how, by toning everything down about them, and by that I mean, and let's both be honest, if the Yuuzhan Vong were done 110 percent right, from the books to the big screen, said movies would definitely, DEFINITELY be HARD R RATED, and those fuck hacks at Disney and Lucasfilm just won't do that, because they have no balls, no spine, no guts, to do something like that with faction like the Yuuzhan Vong, so yeah, again, toning down everything the Vong are. Thanks for replying, what you said, and this whole conversation Conrado, thank you very much, much appreciated.
@@conradojavier7547 Again, agreed. Them being made into complete and utter jokes, cannon fodder for Miss Always On Good Mode Rey, because again, of course Disney and Lucasfilm would do just that, the fuck hacks they are, again.
Great synopsis! I read this years ago, an all time favorite of mine. A friend of mine just started it and this was an awesome refresher so we can talk about it
My favorite trilogy in the old EU/Legends continuity. So very tempted to double dip with the essential line. P.S that Thumbnail makes me want a Funko Pop of Bane..
mace windu shatterpoint is the best novel imo, it gets into some really dark places despite being a star wars novel, you should give it a look sometimes
Darth Bane was just so stripped down and butchered by Dave Filoni, why, TCW, why... And of course, Disney is way too removed from the fans to give us the much-requested Darth Zannah novel at this point. Feh, fuck them! This is my Star Wars, not their crap and the pandering easter eggs they throw our way that mean nothing without their prior context. #LegendsIsTheTrueCanon
Disney will write a Legends book, by portraying Zannah into a God-Tier Mary Sue without a Need of Training, cuz Training & Character Development is for Bigots.
@@j.j.plagiarisms7149 Alex Jones is the worst. People who associate with him HAVE NO SHAME. They are incapable of feeling it. And it's all about ruthless brand promotion. I hate it.

just ignore it like i do, the old extended eu is still canon to me, just becuase they say it aint anymore means nothing to me, i make my own canon "peace is a lie"

You can only expect the best from the writer of KOTOR 1, Drew Karpyshin.

And it's not too late. Drew wants to. The only people who DON'T are Lucasfilm, lol. And these people pretend to be Star Wars fans? LOL.
Bro ME TOO
SAME HERE!! I wish so bad the story could be completed

Thanks for the video man ! Really enjoyed, keep up the legends reviews

I really enjoyed this video! It was well edited and scripted/narrated. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finished reading Path of Destruction recently, and it really blew me away!
Good book, thanks for making this video.
This is my favorite trilogy in all expanded Universe material
mace windu shatterpoint is the best novel imo, it gets into some really dark places despite being a star wars novel, you should give it a look sometimes
I'm starting to listen to the audiobook now
Why did Michael Bay Optimus Prime ripped off the Fallen face
Maybe Darth Pain wants the Sith to End with him.

That would retcon everything, and just make Legends just as messy as Disney canon
@@j.j.plagiarisms7149 Retcon = Delete this from the Timeline
I got on such a dumb argument with Filoni stans about Bane being shoved in TCW for cheap fanservice.....
@@yrooxrksvi7142 this Bane look like He's actually a Skinny Man who wore Armor to look Edgy, & to Avoid Paying Drew Loyalty fees.
yes
It wpuld be Funnily if you use a Rian Johnson's Picture as Bane's Dad.
I thought Alex Jones was more relevant

27:43 why I have the feeling if Disney writer wrote this scene they would show Darth Bane instead sparing the Family and running off
Probably not. Andor is a pretty brutal show, with a protagonist (not even a bad guy) who murders people in cold blood

A few criticisms such as the Thought Bomb, imo, is nonsensical and Darth Bane's tremors.
And none of this is intriguing without the technology.
All timer sith Star Wars novel. Alongside Darth Plagueis, Deceived , and Dark Lord: Rise of Vader.
