Join us as we review Drew Karpyshyn's "Darth Bane: Path of Destruction," the groundbreaking Legends novel that chronicles the rise of one of the most influential Sith Lords in galactic history. We explore Bane's transformation from cortosis miner Dessel to the architect of the Rule of Two, his training at the Sith Academy on Korriban, and his ultimate destruction of the Brotherhood of Darkness at the Battle of Ruusan in 1000 BBY. This deep dive examines Karpyshyn's character work, the novel's portrayal of dark side philosophy, and how this book fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the Sith Order in the Old Republic era. Whether you're a longtime Legends fan or new to Darth Bane's story, this episode offers fresh insights into one of Star Wars' most compelling villain origin tales.

Pain. Suffering. Hate. This is all that was left of the Sith Warrior who would come to be known as Darth Sion.

The man who the galaxy would know as Revan was as talented with the force as he was charismatic. His ability to lead and champion others to his banners was remarkable, able to persuade first hundred, then thousands of Jedi and Republic soldiers to take the war to the Mandalorians themselves. But this talent could also be used for evil, for when Revan styled himself Darth and changed allegiances to the dark side, his charisma and leadership soon served to further that end… **Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @shop.mando and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code STAR at Shopmando.com! #mandopod** Become a patron to get access to the bonus episodes or support the show through Paypal and bitcoin!
