    Drew Karpyshyn later said that he didn't mean to imply that Bane had succeeded in taking over Zannah's body and that Zannah had actually won. The hand thing was meant to be an echo of Bane that was left over.

    I've always liked the evolution of the Ro2 Era sith. Bane saw the line as a way of developing power covertly, with the apprentice having the job of openly challenging and proving they had become superior. By the time of Plagueis, the focus was on subverting power, and apprentices often succeeded their masters by killing them through trickery or guile. Sidious himself got Plagueis drunk to get him to fall asleep after years of his master remaining awake, so he could remove his respirator he required after a botched assassination attempt. Then electrocuted him in his sleep, but even after Plagueis was confirmed dead, Sidious still was afraid of his master and suspected he may somehow have survived. And most lords of that Era thought that they surely would be the final Sith and kept an apprentice only to secure their own power. Bane would not have approved.

    • @deadseven3474
      @deadseven3474 2 года назад +15

      I wonder about that, actually. Ultimately, the shift to subterfuge and guile is what destroyed the Jedi Order, not the pursuit of singular strength or mastery of the dark side. Yes, it was a large part of it, but the actions taken to destroy the Jedi during the clone wars could've been mostly done by anyone, not necessarily a Sith.

      By the time of Tenebrous and Plagueis, both are described as lightsaber sparring masters, eclipsing any Jedi of their time. Sidious and Tyranus too are some of if not the best duelists of their era. I think the implication is there that they'd grown so powerful by that point in the combative aspects of the Dark Side that they _had_ to resort to subterfuge, and also kept falsely believing themselves to be the Ro2's end goal due to their own power. The paradox of the Sith eventually becoming something Darth Bane might not approve of as a consequence of his own philosophy is, well...ironic, no?

    A full video needs to be done on Darth Rampage because that short snippet in this video was misleading. Darth Rampage didn’t just attempt to find the secret to time travel, he actually succeeded. Darth Rampages Holocron was found by a Jedi survivor of Order 66 Jax Pavan. Jax used the knowledge of the Holocron against the Empire for a very short time and was able to sense and manipulate time with the Force. Because Jax Pavan was a relatively low level force wielder he wasn’t able to do much with the ability as grand manipulations of time would require a large amount of Force power that he did not possess. However if the knowledge of the Holocron were to fall into the hands of someone as powerful as Vader all bets would have been off. Knowing that the knowledge of the Force Power was far to dangerous for either the Jedi or Sith to possess Jax hid the Holocron and then had his memory wiped, causing the knowledge of the ability to be lost to time. An interesting what if would be if Vader had gotten his hands on the ability. Perhaps he may have been able to alter the past to the point where he was never burned on Muustifar. This would have lead to a Vader who had all the wisdom and knowledge of the Vader we know while still possessing the power of the chosen one. At that point he could have enough power to save Padme, and essentially rule over all time as a Force God. However Darth Rampage and Jax Pavan are the only two known users of the ability of Time Manipulation making it the rarest Force Power in all of Star Wars

Eventually, they are going to have to go back and reboot what they did if they want to keep this franchise for more than a decade, and if that's too much trouble they're going to end up needing to sell it off, they're barely making money. Hell, Solo lost money. And when you do the math on how much they're making, don't forget to account for the hundreds of millions per movie in marketing. Most people leave that out and assume they're making bigger profits than they are. They're not making shit right now imo.

Maul was only supposed to be an assassin and it was Sidious who granted him the title while being an apprentice himself to plagueis. That goes against the rule of two. By every technicality, maul shouldn’t be considered a Sith Lord. However, some may argue that he held that title for a few moments since it’s believed that when he was supposedly “killed” on Naboo, Sidious felt his death through the force mistaking it as plagueis reaching out to him from death just moments after he had killed him.

    Why was Darth Sidious and Darth Vader the ones to execute the grand plan and not other Sith rule of two going before them?

    • @thomasfield8543
      @thomasfield8543 2 года назад +3

      I think it had to do with the fact that each sith got stronger and more capable each time they replaced their master as they learned everything from their master before they replace them, and continue to learn until teaching their apprentice and ultimately being replaced, feeding the cycle. And Sidious and Plagueis had figured out immortality meaning that he'd be able to rule forever as one of the most powerful sith possible.

    • @lawfrey3859
      @lawfrey3859 2 года назад +5

      It's also a matter of amassed resources, I think, and enough time passing to lower the galaxy's guard against the sith. Even to the jedi in modern times, the sith were mostly just a legend. Sidious didn't enact the grand plan by being a sith, if you think about it, what enabled it was political manipulation. That manipulation, in turn, had its foundation in the vast resources of Plagueis as an interplanetary banking tycoon. Across most of these sith lords' stories, you find examples of how they used the force subtly to put themselves in positions of power that become greater and greater with each generation of the rule of two.
      I don't think that each generation of sith were by default more powerful in the force than those who came before them. Especially since most of them in the stories we're shown didn't take on their masters in outright duels, but murdered them through covert means. Plagueis' inner monologue makes it evident that he doubted being able to kill Tenebrous, and he orchestrated a cave-in to make it happen. Tenebrous' inner monologue meanwhile reveals he let himself die, to enable essence transfer, which then failed due to a miscalculation. Though we have to take it at face value that Sidious is the canonically most powerful sith, since that's been stated to death by the lore, he also didn't duel Plagueis. He murdered him in his sleep. This is probably a pattern that carries across many more of the unnamed ones. If anything, most were probably weaker than Bane and Zannah. Instead, they were amassing financial and political power, until the day one powerful enough, such as Sidious, and by then prepared enough could use those resources to truly see the plan through.
      The sith only showed their hand and moved to remove the jedi from power after Sidious had already been ELECTED to lead by the common people, and thus turned the entire system against the jedi with seeming legitimacy. Powerful as Sidious was, he was never strong enough to just go to war against the jedi outright. He had to set the scene, and generations of sith before him played their part in that.

    • @stevenlovejoy6838

      The early Banite Sith were focused on quietly rebuilding the power of the Sith by searching the Galaxy for Sith Holocrons and dark side writings/techniques. Over time, the Sith grew in the power of the dark side and began working to sow disorder in the Republic from behind the scenes. In time, the Sith had acquired so much power that they were nearly on the verge of overthrowing the Republic. Unfortunately, however, around this time the Sith came under the control of Darth Gravid who believed that the Sith should incorporate light side teachings into their training. His attempts to do so drove him mad and Gravid began destroying nearly every single Holocron and text that the Sith had acquired throughout the centuries. Gravid was quickly killed by his apprentice, Darth Gean, but the damage was already done. The Sith had to restart from the beginning AGAIN under Darth Gean. However, around this time, the Sith ended their isolation from the Galactic community and began to operate out in the open under various aliases in order to increase the power of the Order. Darth Tenebrous was known as Rugess Nome, a famous starship designer. Darth Plagueis was known as Hego Demask, a wealthy investor and political boss. Darth Sidious was obviously known as Palpatine, an aristocratic politician who became chancellor of the Republic.
