I like how Hutt Space. Just kinda sits their the whole time not changing

Moraband. I still prefer Korriban. But to soften the blow, Moraband is probably derived from moribund, meaning "at the point of death" or "in terminal decline".

It’s funny how sad the pre Phantom Menace era is in canon, when the legends one is so amazing.

Darth Bane: "ok guys. Only two sith are allowed. Make sure you follow this one rule ok guys? I'm totally serious."








Darth Sidious: "Oh yea totally. Only two. Got it."
*Quickly shoves Darth Maul, Darth Tyrannus, and the dozens of inquisitors under his bed*
"See? Darth Vader is my one and only apprentice and has been for- hey Luke, you wanna be my newest apprentice?"

"There must be two, no more no less. One Master must embody the power of the Dark Side, and he must take on an Apprentice to crave that power. As long as the master is strong, the apprentice owes absolute loyalty... yet if either wavers, a battle to the death will prove it. If the apprentice is stronger than the master, he will emerge victorious and take on his own apprentice, and the cycle will begin again. This is the way of the Sith. Together, the two may attract legions of minions, but true power will always remain concentrated. Always two there are; no more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice." -Darth Bane.

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the Sith, so wise and so powerful, he could influence the midichlorians to create... life. He had such knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying. The Dark Side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." -Darth Sidious.

Darth Bane: Why have you come to my tomb, Jedi?
Yoda: To learn.
Bane: Do you know who I am?
Yoda: Yes. Darth Bane, the ancient Sith Lord, you are.
Bane: And know why I am not forgotten?
Yoda: Created the Rule of Two, you did.
Bane: The Sith killed each other, victims of their own greed. But from the ashes of destruction, I was the last survivor. I chose to pass my knowledge unto only one. I created a legacy so resilient, and now you come before me. Have you come to be my apprentice? You must kill me to gain my place.
Yoda: Dead you are, already.
Bane: Then what stands before you?
Yoda: An illusion. Real, you are not.
Bane: You do not fear me?
Yoda: No. Exist you do not anymore.
Bane:

Eh. I prefer the Legends version, but you did a great job telling the story for what it was.

How come they didn't teach this in history class at school

"The force is strong with you. A powerful sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... Vader." -Darth Sidious.

[robertharris]

I never realised how similar to the rise of the roman empire and ceaser this is.

[betterlatethannever]

Though not as cool as legends, there is a way for canon to fot the events of the Bane trilogy.
Also, the author comfired that, though Bane did the ritual of essence transfer correctly, Zannah's will was stronger than his at the time and he was unable to take her body

[random_gamer_guy]

Utterly ridiculous amount of detail, brilliant brilliant video new subscription achieved pal I'll share your thoughts with fellow starwars lovers and such.

[timdegraw]

SO much information absolutely CRAMMED into this video. Simply perfect, very very impressive video. This is as good as fake history gets guys, enjoy it....

[Flame-rpyq]

Palpatine: guess who
everyone: how are your even alive?
Palpatine: I fell through this plot hole and survived the fall and the explosion

[Dan-yhve]

We need a Star Wars game like Skyrim Damn it!

[roberthammock]

It's assumed that Windu died after being thrown out of the window in EP III. Next to Yoda, he was the most powerful Jedi in the order. What's to say he didn't survive?

[nunyabusiness]

This was really good and in depth. I am however a little disappointed that Darth Revan, Darth Malak and Vader's secret apprentice Starkiller real name Galen was not discussed.
