Don’t remember if it was really ruined in TCW: Yoda just happened to meet a fake Darth Bane ghost.
When Lord Haseo says “ruined,” he means “differed from the Darth Bane novels.”
Here’s a reply I made to someone on Youtube regarding the same subject:
The Darth Bane in TCW is for all intents and purposes a generic Sith. Darth Bane’s temperament, mannerisms, rationales and mindset in the novels are what make him interesting. The Darth Bane in the Karpyshyn books would have found the phrase “I created a legacy so resilient that now you stand before me.” to be woefully pathetic. A useless exercise in boasting that wouldn’t have resulted in anything. Especially since the Dark Side hadn’t exactly prevailed just yet. Also the Darth Bane in the novels wouldn’t be worried at all if he’s feared by Yoda. He would note it in his mind (if at all) and move on. Such a petty thought would have been worthy of a lesser Sith.
“they let him keep his contributions to the mythos.”
All the canon Bane did was create the Rule of Two. None of the other shit from the novels carried over.
“How do you know this Bane couldn’t be just as good if not a better character than the non-canon one.”
It’s possible but seeing as how they wrote him to be a generic Sith in TCW that doesn’t bode well. The reason Darth Bane is so liked is because he’s so different from the myriad of Sith Lords who came before and after him.
Also it’s been a while since I brought him up so I don’t get why you’re on my nuts about this.
