unspeakablehorrorAm reading the second Darth Bane novel. Some thoughts:
*This novel is extremely gory. Which goes with the theme, sure, but you won't be seeing these death scenes rendered in any Star Wars film haha.
*Darth Bane is experiencing hallucinatory Force Ghosts. I'll bet Plagueis would love to compare notes over this. I would love to see the argument that would likely ensue about 'real vs hallucinatory' Force ghosts. Something in the vein of 'no I was experiencing real hallucinatory Force ghosts, your Force Ghost was not a real hallucination because he was actually real and also you ticked him off'. Also 'what do you mean you think I'm a hallucinatory Force Ghost, too? Now you're ticking me off...' and so on.
*Darth Bane leaves Zannah by herself to find her way off planet claiming this is her Sith trial, but personally I think he's just not used to having a child around and wants a reprieve from the endless questions. Sith Parenting Style: Neglect.
*Darth Bane is the worst driver. Ever. You didn't miss anything, Zannah. Though imagining the alternate scenario of him taking her along and slapping a 'baby on board' sticker on the outside does provide some amusement. Better yet, he adds a 'baby on board' sticker for every year of her life, because one child is equivalent to their age in babies, right?
