When last we left off, Bane was dead and Zannah and Cognus were off to continue the mission. The only way to pass the mantle is for the apprentice to surpass the master. By the time they got a few cycles into this paradigm they must have been insanely powerful in the dark side. Me. Want. Me want too! I gotta say, I didn't much care for Zannah in the books. They made her look a bit incompetent with the whole "when should I kill my master?" angle and taking on that terrible apprentice Set Harth. Cognus I loved, though. Love love loved her. I liked the idea of the apprentice being more skilled than the master, like Zannah's skill with Sith alchemy that Bane was pretty much useless at. I like the idea of always one-upping the master, so I'd love to see them go straight up to Palpatine with this whole Rule of Two thing. I would just hope it wouldn't get repetitive, that's really my biggest fear. The books would all essentially boil down to getting an apprentice, forging an uneasy alliance with the apprentice and then having the apprentice eventually rise up and kill the master. That's why I was rooting for Bane there at the end. It would have been quite a surprise to have him kill Zannah!

Currently I find myself less worried about the Sith's Rule of 2, and more about this new Sith emperor's empire, and himself. He's already centuries old, and has mastered some form of spirit transfer. Blood of the Empire implies he's learned a new trick not too long ago. And we know that come Bane's time the Sith Empire is gone, and the Sith Order was all that remained. Though I would enjoy a few (like maybe 2 to 3 tops) Sith from the Rule of 2's stories told. Not too close to each other, but like far enough apart as to set a direction for the overall path the Sith took. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

You cannot pass up an opportunity like that. Plus his talent was seeing the future and he ended up abandoning the Rule of Two, leaving his master, and founding the Prophets of the Dark Side. It's a really good setup for another book with fresh angles that would separate it from the Bane Trilogy, especially if they took Millennial as the main character they could possibly even do a trilogy. A one off would be a safer bet, but it could be done. Now I feel like I've gone off topic. We should be talking about comics, right? Maybe a Darth Millennial comic miniseries to see if the interest is there, then springboard into a book. Dark Horse and Del Rey are working together with Knight Errant so it would be a logical trend. _________________

The page count didn't bother me because I've read all of Schreiber's books so I'm used to the low page count. However, those other books weren't hardcovers...so I can gripe about that I do hope Red Harvest will be an entertaining book. I think my expectation level will be lower this time around so I should enjoy it more. I'll just have to suffer with the higher price tag. _________________

Revmacd Padawan Joined: 29 Aug 2010 Posts: 59 Location: Boston area Sorry about the double post on the main page when I went to post a comment. I seemed to be having a hard time with the anti-spam word thingie. I had no idea it went through the first time (partially) before posting my comment again. _________________ I am currently awaiting an inspiration to fill this space with.

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5760 Location: Missouri Ah, good old Fett. I'm a Fett fan, but which Fett do I like the best? I'm going to go with all of them because I like to mix and match my parts I like the lethal quiet man he started out as, I like him taking his bounties and becoming a wealthy stock baron in his advanced years (and still lethal), and I liked seeing how reality crashed down on him and gave him purpose when he lifted his dad's helmet off the ground on Geonosis as a child. It would be nice if they'd at least name drop him in FOTJ. _________________
