we would be honored if you would join us hello everyone how
are you all doing today today we returned to the legends novel
darth bane the path of destruction we're going to
be looking at pages 208 to 210 chapter 20 where bane takes the title of
darth now i'm jumping really far into the
novel here primarily because i want to get you guys really interested for the
not so crazy fans about legends to really help you guys understand how
cool legends actually is and where a lot of the lore
for canon really was inspired from so if you find yourself interested in the lore
in this video as the title is pretty interesting
bringing a lot of new faces i implore you to go check out some of the other
lore videos that are out there not just on my channel but anywhere
really on youtube they're all very interesting
and i think we can learn a lot from the inspiration that came
to canon today that being said i'm going to be covering so much more of the darth
bane novel and continuing my novelization coverage
of legends and canon comics going forwards
so at this point in the novel bane has crossed a threshold into a new
understanding and connection with the dark side he has just walked away
victorious from a trap set by his former rival sirac now we're
going to learn a ton more about sirac and more videos which are going to
backtrack from this one and then we'll go beyond chapter 20 as well
he is now done with the sith academy and its instructors
permanently and finally ready to break out of his own
away from lord khan and his brotherhood of darkness as he storms furiously to
the academy's headmaster lord cordis quarters there remains only
one last step for bane to take a dangerous and forbidden step bane
kicked open the door to cordus's chamber it slammed against the wall with a crash
that reverberated down the hall the academy's master had been awake and
already dressed meditating on the mat in the center of his room
now he leapt to his feet anger darkening his face
what is the meaning of this did you send sirak to kill me
bane blurted out the time for subtlety was gone what
i did something happened to sirak i killed him
yebra and loki too their bodies are in the archives
the shock and horror of his reaction made it clear that quartus
had known nothing about the attack you did this on the eve of our departure for
rousson he asked his voice rising shrilly a few
of the other masters had gathered in the corridor outside
drawn by bane's loud arrival a handful of the students as well
bane didn't care you can go to russon bane snapped
i will have nothing to do with the brotherhood of darkness you are a
student of this academy quartus reminded him you will do as you're told
i am a dark lord of the sith being countered i serve no one but myself
glancing over bane's shoulder at the gathering crowd of curious onlookers
cordis dropped his voice to a threatening whisper
we leave for rusan tomorrow lord vayne you will be coming with us
this is not a matter for discussion i am leaving tonight
bane replied lowering his voice to match and mock the tone of quartus's own
and none of you here is strong enough to stop me he turned his back
on the head of the academy and walked slowly from the room for a brief second
he felt the spurned master gathering the force
and bane braced himself for a confrontation but a second later
he felt the power fading away at the threshold he halted
when he spoke he was addressing the assembled gawkers as much as gordus
someone here once told me the darth title was no longer
used because it promoted rivalry among the sith
it gave the jedi an easy target it was easier just to abandon the custom
to have all the sith masters use the same title of dark lord he raised his
voice slightly speaking loud enough for all to hear
but i know the truth cordis i know why none of you claims that name for
yourself fear your cowards he half turned and
looked back at quartus none of the brotherhood is worthy of the
darth title least of all you there was a gasp from the
assemblage some of the students stepped back
expecting some type of reaction of course there was none
shaking his head in disgust bane left them there as he passed the
other masters kasim stepped in front of him placing a
hand on his chest don't go the blademaster said let's talk
about this if you just meet me with khan you'll
understand that's all i ask bane it's darth bane he said slapping the
twilight's hand away and pushing past him
nobody else tried to stop him as he made his way through the temple's halls
nobody tried to follow him or even called out as he mounted the stairs to
the small landing pad on the roof there was only a single ship at the starport
the valsen a t-class long-range personal cruiser
the blade-shaped vessel was one of the finest in the sith fleet
equipped with the latest and most advanced technology it had arrived just
the day before a gift from khan to cordis in
recognition of his work with the apprentices
at the academy bane lowered the access hatch and climbed inside
during his stint in the military he had been given rudimentary training in the
basics of piloting a standard hyperdrive vessel fortunately
the valsen's controls matched all intergalactic standards of operation
and were designed for ease of use he sat himself down in the pilot's chair
and fired up the thrusters punching in the hyperspace coordinates
of his destination even as he began the liftoff sequence
a moment later the valson rose up from the landing pad's surface
then shot off into the atmosphere leaving corbin
and the academy behind now this last step
was bane taking the darth title an action that can only be seen as a
direct challenge to lord khan's rule to revive that title and the meaning of
superiority it invokes spits at everything the brotherhood of
darkness stands for but regardless whatever else happens the sith the jedi
and the galaxy will now have to grapple with darth bane
dark lord of the sith now of course bane goes on to create the rule of two
and change the history of the sith or the future of the sith really
i would say the main problem with the sith was the infighting
of course they all came together and eventually they hated jedi at the end of
the day but amongst themselves there were tears
and classes just like with jedi but it was more of a dog-eat-dog world
sith fought other sith the same way nomads would for respect
and ranking just as we saw here with bane and quartus i also like the
fact that this book really explains why the title of darth wasn't used very
much and by bane taking that title it means he doesn't care if it promotes
rivalry among the sith or whatever people think
he wanted to use the title for himself to stand out from everyone else
who just called themselves dark lords i like bane i like his methodology in the
way that he's just overall badass he does what he wants and
he stands up to those who will defy him don't get me wrong he's a sith but he's
pretty cool hope someday we'll get a show just about him thanks for watching
leave a like if you enjoyed this one and i'll see you in the next
legends video or in the next video in general catch you then until then
remember the force will be with you always
hey guys how are you today so today we're going to cover 10 facts about some
sith force abilities now of course in the comments just let me know which ones
you want me to cover in the next video or if there are any that i didn't cover
in this one alright let's get started so starting at
number one got midichlorians midichlorians have been controversial
ever since george lucas added them to the star wars mythos back in the phantom
menace nevertheless wherever you may personally
fall on the topic they are here to stay and the sith have
been able to use the dark side to tinker with the microscopic life forms
as we learned in revenge of the sith palpatine's sith master darth plagueis
had found a way through the force to manipulate the midi-chlorian so that he
could cheat death which of course piqued anakin skywalker's interest
due to his vision of his wife's death plagueis had found a way for the
midichlorians to preserve a prolonged life
and even a way to restore it number two for stealth
you might have wondered how the jedi could have worked with the sith lord
as powerful as palpatine while he roamed the halls of the galactic senate and sat
in the supreme chancellor's seat for all this time without realizing who
and what he truly was the reason for that is the unique
ability called for stealth which the supreme chancellor was innately
proficient at the future emperor of the galaxy used
for stealth to conceal his presence and connection to the force from all the
jedi including grandmaster yoda and so when he was
finally ready to enact the sith's revenge on the jedi
they were all taken by surprise number three essence
transfer hiding their force sensitivity or even their overall physical presence
from other beings paled in comparison to transfer essence
or essence transfer a power that allowed a sith lord to
transfer their mind and soul into another being's body
annihilating their target's persona in the process and giving them full control
of an entirely new body if a sith didn't know how to make
themselves immortal essence transfer was the next best thing
and they could simply employ the technique to keep jumping bodies to
cheat death over and over again with palpatine's
return in the rise of skywalker there were many fans who wondered if
this was the ability that palpatine used to survive being thrown down the death
star's reactor shaft and getting blown up
and we now know that this is confirmed to be true before palpatine even hit the
bottom or died he had transferred his essence into
the other clone body on hexagol and was trapped in there
until we saw him again number 4 force grip
arguably a favorite of the sith lord darth vader force grip was the ability
to choke and crush a foe without ever physically laying a hand on them
usually employed by sith such as when count dooku overcame obi-wan kenobi's
defenses and choked him with the power in revenge
the sith but the jedi have also been shown to utilize the power
such as when master mace windu attempted to crush general grievous's robotic
chest with it or when luke used it on the gemorean
guards in jabba's palace though not a unique or unusual ability
for a sith to have it was still one of their most effective
and terrifying powers as they could kill a being without even
being in the same location as them like we have seen sidious do
with dooku in the clone wars number 5 force lightning the most famous
practitioner of this technique is of course emperor palpatine
aka darth sidious though it was used by many other sith lords in history as well
including count dooku coming in a range of at least four colors blue green
yellow and red the offensive dark side power discharged
electrical energy from the user's hands and unleashed severe pain and damage on
their target palpatine and dooku's lightning
were bluish purple but the embodiment of the dark side known as the sun
mortis used the red variety suggesting that it may be the most powerful version
of the ability interestingly enough another sith lord
who had been noted to release red force lightning
was none other than darth vader when his disembodied spirit entered a portal to
another force realm in one of his several attempts to save
his dead wife padme amidala number six sith healing though
we normally attribute force healing to the jedi and the light side of the force
the sith were also capable of using their own variant of the ability
vader would frequently employ it to try to heal and damage his lungs and body
while he was either in his meditation chamber or his back to tank at his
castle on mustafar meditation plays a key part in force
healing as a forced practitioner needs to form as
deep a connection with the force as they can to get the most out of the process
while jedi would meditate to find tranquility the sith relied on their
aggression to focus on the damage number seven the
jedi sometimes use mind trick to get out of a tricky situation without resorting
to violence but the jedi also have their own take on
that power though not many have the ability to use it
sith mind control goes much farther than simply trying to sway a being into
obeying instead the technique completely
manipulates what their target thinks and does even what they believe until
their will is no longer their own but the evil influence is not long-term
darth sidious used it on a two-e-lec girl but
when he and his apprentice had crash-landed on the planet ryloth
the girl was helpless to resist and would have to be struck down by sidious
lightsaber had vader not blocked his master's blow
but the girl didn't react as she was completely under the
emperor's power vader didn't care about her life
he simply thought they could use her to get help from the locals
number eight for strain the complete opposite of force healing has to be
force drain powerful sith lords could use the power
to drain all their enemies energy and flatline their bodily functions even
lesser dark side practitioners could utilize the ability to essentially block
a force-sensitive opponent from being able to access the force so
force drain could weaken an opponent's ability to call on the force
or outright kill them the power requires a great deal of concentration
as once it's summoned the link between the darksider and their target must not
be broken perhaps the most famous example of this
power was during the final confrontation between the redeemed revan and his
former apprentice darth malak number 9 deadly sight we may have
experienced or inflicted at one point or another in our lives
the death stare during tense moments but for the sith
that stare is literal harnessing all of the rage and anger to inflict pain by
simply staring at someone was an ability that some sith had
mastered this was called deadly sight saris one of the dark jedi that kyle
katarn had to stop from taking over the valley of the jedi in the old video game
jedi knight dark forces attacked the jedi knight with that
ability of course in the end qatar was victorious number 10 force storm the
clone of emperor palpatine was able to create a hyperspace wormhole
that allowed him to instantly travel between the planet bis
to coruscant this most dangerous ability was called for storm
the dark side ability could displace people or objects across long distances
but if the dark side practitioner wished to four storm could also be used as a
devastating weapon capable of decimating the entire surface
of a planet but the danger went two ways if the darksider wasn't careful the
power could also be turned on them consuming them instead as it eventually
did to the emperor's clone well hope you
guys enjoyed these 10 sith powers let me know if there are some that i
didn't cover and you want me to cover in the next video
for top 10 part 2. have an awesome rest of your day
and remember the force will be with you
always
you
