Yeah I liked that too, wish we had more to Bane in Canon than just that little tidbit, especially considering the EU book trilogy was so bloody fantastic, but I'll take it... for now.
I find profoundly stupid that they wiped out all of these great stories so they would interfere with their "great new" narrative, but most of the good ones already don't interfere. Like the Bane trilogy. Or the first TFU. But then we are dealing with people that utterly lack creativity. I mean let's face it, they hear "Always two there are" and there that translates to "ONLY two there are EVER." I'm not opposed to it being a custom that Sith always work in master/apprentice pairs, but ONLY two at a time is just weak. Countless thousands of Jedi over countless generations were scared to death over 2 people?
Yes. Lucas of course created Darth Bane but the EU gave him his backstory and Lucas apparently really liked Revan's design (who could blame him). During the Mortis Arc it was going to be reveled it was actually the Shades of Revan and Bane influencing Son to rise against Father. They even got as far as preliminary animation but Lucas vetoed it because he did not like the idea Sith could leave behind any kind of Spirit....even though the EU established they can....its just not the same as The Jedi. Sith are like "poltergeist" and tied to a place or object. Here is the scene...notice Bane is in his Orbalisk armor.
Can't watch the vid anyway, but yes I did notice. However, Bane lost that armor long before he died. But again, I had no issues with it being left to interpretation that what Yoda saw was a representation. Same with the Mortis family; interpretations, visions only. Otherwise we fall into that whole "no one was supposed to be more powerful than the Chosen One" routine. And again, been watching a lot of Supernatural, those that meet violent ends often have spirits that get bound to a location. I believe that Sith of significant...
determination could leave behind a presence in the Dark Side in a specific location, unlike Jedi spooks, that accepted death, and get to flit willy-nilly allover the universe.
I believe Filoni did say just that...it was a "vision" of Bane...not his actual shade. Honestly I always found Bane's design to be lackluster. Malgus is what I would picture for the Sith that survived all that crap.
Can't see the pic. What image of Bane are we talking about? Malgus I love for many reasons. He was a believer, which made him an unstoppable force.
It always (for me) comes to there has to be something that can convince me only Force users can make Lightsabers. But we've been down this road so often I think we've worn the top layer of soil off lol. But that is something not enough cosplayers do...Sith Blades.
I would so be willing to do a Sith Blade, but 1) I fear too many wouldn't know what it is, and 2) blades cause too much furor at cons. We have been over the saber thing, but for me the "connection" between the maker and the crystal is something small, not this huge personal relationship, with a bunch of touchy feely wooo-ooooo crap.
Yep. But Revan IS offcially canon now. But in name only. If they ever actually bring him in anywhere it might be completely different
I'm not even a fan of the game series, but I know they will have a full scale nerd riot on their hands if they don't do the character justice. And Christiana will be leading the charge.
