Anyone read the new novel following the origins of the founder of the Rule of Two?

Isn't it great. I felt as if I was reading some kind of ancient tome and the knowledge of the Sith seeped into my brain. I really wish we could learn what the full contents of Revan's Holocron was.

Yeah....I definately read it and loved it! Threads discussing it abound already. Yes, I'd love to know more about Darth Revan and that holocron. Is there a book about him?

I don't believe there is a book on Revan yet, but give it some time, I doubt they'd skip such a perfect example of a Sith. Someone(don't recall who) is writing a book on Darth Plaguies(I believe I mis-spelled his name) and it is scheduled to be out in book stores by 2008.

I am reading the Darth Bane book again with a little detour threw a political book called "Tempting Faith". It is an interesting book of how the christian republicans (Jedi) spilt the beens. It also shows the possibility of a Palpatine as an unseen hand controling American politics. It is a fascenateing read.

Somehow those two books go well together. I read that one after the Bane book.
I plan to read the Bane book again when I feel fittingly focused to that theme. I sense there is something there in that book. It is not in so many words, no detailed instructions....just a feeling.....

The Plagues book is in the process of being written as we speak as is the official Sidious book...

A book on Darth Sidious, brilliant. This is news to me, thank you Master Thompson.

Is anybody keeping up on the new Star Wars: Legacy? Its awesome so far, and I gotta say Darth Bane make an appearance in issue 6 or 5 in the Sith Tombs.
AND, Yes I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Master Thompson. I look forward to a Darth Plagus book and a Darth Sidious book. If I were only good at "Channeling" I would love to write all the inbetween parth about Darth Vader. I would Love to represent my Husband.

Why not? Start writing your own fan-fiction....diaries of Mrs. Vader perhaps? (Oh, that reminds me...I should write more fan fic myself....so so busy...darn.....)

Keeping up with Star Wars: Legacy? I have collected every issue so far and I can't wait for the new ones. Great comic series that brings more Sith secrets into view.
I also enjoy seeing the Sith turn from the rule fo two. In my mind, that only means one thing: that another Sith like Darth Bane will arise and transform the Sith Order again. That's one thing the Sith do that Jedi do not; evolve.
Mrs. Darth Vader
12-19-2006, 04:45
Exar Kun, How do I get this comic series? Do you know who is selling it in the U.S.A. The Sith evolve more because the Jedi share one thing in comon with mordern christians, and that is that they always make up excuses why the Force"God" does not do that or why you can not have that ability now. Or the other extream of that dynamic is that said Jedi has already arrived and has the Force in his hip pocket. The Sith admit the power level they are at then strive for more. To look squarely where you are is the begining of advancement, even if you are at the bottom. If admited one can advance.
Darth Opacus

Agreed all the way. Any comic shop should carry that comic. I get mine at the local comic shop in my city. Just ask for Star Wars: Legacy. It's probably best to start at the beginning if possible.

Thank you. When I get the chance I will check it out.

I haven't read "Paths of Destruction" yet, I'm still in the process of trying to get one of my parents to bring me to a book store. I really want to read it though. On www.wookieepedia.com (http://www.wookieepedia.com) I have read the biography of Darth Bane and I found it quite interesting. Now I am anxious to read the book.

I also read "Cloak of Deseption". Palpatine is a real artfull minipulator in this book. He even secretly backs "The Nebula Front" and got Valorum to take the blame. That is pretty sneaky.

I have read Path of Destruction 3 times now, and everytime something new strikes me. Darth Bane has many qualities that can help in our world. For those who have yet to pick it up - do it ASAP.
Mrs. Darth Vader

The Darth Bane book fits our time. In the abscence of a Palpatine, the Darth Bane book gives good advice on what to do if you are a Sith. It is a novel whose time has come.
I hope that the author who wrote the Darth Bane book will write the Darth Revan book. I hope he wil get into more Sith secrets and this time the Chane reaction happens.

I like path of Destruction... however, what I don't like is when the book goes back into Jedi Vs Sith. If you read the graphic novel, then theres no need to go back and tell the story over again. Thats my opinion. What I would like to know is more information on Marka Ragnos, Freedon Nadd, and have a History on All the Sith Lords. Wikipeida does not do any justices on the history of the Sith. :maul4:

I just finished the book. It was awesome! I'm gonna check tomorrow to see if anyone is writing a book on Revan. If not I would want to write one. Thats what I want to do when I'm older anyway, writing. I'm not trying to sound conceited but my English teacher said I was "gifted" in writing. I've read through articles on Revan before so maybe sometime in the future I'll do alot of research on him and then write a book. Yes I know that just sounded really stupid.

What's so stupid about it?
If it's something you're passionate about, go for it.
You already have an audience.

Thank you for your support. Actually if anyone has any information about Darth Revan if you could email it to me at DarthPriceless@AIM.com, I would appreciate it very much.
Empress Palpatine
02-17-2007, 05:24
Hey, go for it! There is always room for more fan fiction. (Wish I had more time). Your audience awaits....
Mrs. Darth Vader
02-18-2007, 22:32
Darth Priceless, I think that you should write about Darth Reven as well. If you like writeing and you are good than why not. I am sure if your english teacher says you are gifted she is probably right. She grades many pappers and reads many of students works. I await your book. I hope you can get published. Maybe Lucas will hire you as another author of the Star Wars books. Good luck on your writting. Weather he hires you or not, you should still enjoy your writeing talent.

Thank you. I've actually started doing some research on Revan. I can't find much on his childhood though. Again I appreciate all the support.:) I was actually writing on Revan a bit during my Algebra class with a B, I pissed off my teacher though (I was supposed to be taking notes). Oh well, I'm passing that class anyway so a bit of writing instead of note taking won't hurt that much. I really need to get Microsoft Word on my computer though, while I was writing I kept wanting to fix/remove/etc. things, Microsoft Word would be easier then erasing and then writing then erasing again. Again though, oh well. I have started research and writing a bit so far so thats good.

We look forward to it. I have often felt that fan fiction was more interesting sometimes than the official fiction. Are you aware of where they put all the fan fiction? Some people have their own sites, and some are on a group site. (Note: This site even has a place for such).
Microsoft Word is definately useful, although there are other word processing programs. It is so wonderfully convenient nowadays. I remember manual typewriters and waiting for liquid paper to dry before correcting a mistake. No spell check!!! I always got nailed for the spelling errors in school assignments.
One draw back for me, though, it is harder for me to think on a machine...that is for fiction. I always had to do it in my scrawl first then type it.
