Darth Bane’s LEGACY: I Am All The Sith
Did you know Palpatine’s claim, “I am all the Sith,” is rooted in the legacy of Darth Bane? Darth Bane harbored doubts about his apprentice, Darth Zannah, believing she lacked the strength to succeed him as the Dark Lord of the Sith. To ensure the continuation of the Rule of Two, Bane sought the secrets of the dark side power of essence transfer to extend his life until he found a more suitable apprentice.
Forcibly extracting the arcane knowledge from Darth Andeddu’s Holocron of Heresies, Bane absorbed the secrets directly into his own mind. Armed with this wisdom, he confronted Zannah, attempting to overpower her will and pass his consciousness into her. After a fierce clash of wills within Zannah’s mind, she emerged triumphant. Yet, while teaching the Rule of Two to her apprentice, Darth Cognus, Zannah began clinching and unclenching her left hand, a habit of Darth Bane, a silent testament to the lingering presence of the Sith Lord within her.
