Path of Destruction discussion

I like Darth Bane of course, and my least favorite is Kaan and Qordis.

I liked Darth Bane as well, he is made very charismatic. Made me rethink the dark side. From the other side I am not so sure, if I can point out very dislikable figure, perhaps Kaan.

I love the feeling that you're rooting for the right guy/side, even though it's (technically) the wrong side.

I don't know why I dislike Khaan, I just do. maybe he's one of those there so you can hate him characters...

That's what I enjoyed about the Bane novels. That theme is quite recurrent throughout Star Wars literature I think; I've been reading a bit of the relatively new 'Maul: Lockdown' and I've found myself rooting for Maul despite his obvious darkness and callousness.
I guess it's fun to indulge in a bit of evil every now and again!

Yeah, Bane novels are actually really good! My first Star Wars books, but I read/listened them more or less in one go. I have to admit, that Bane is my new favourite (anti)hero. I kind of like how the dark side is presented, not quite so black and white. The movies are very one-sided, even the Clone Wars series.

Have to try Maul as well!

Maul remains a little one-dimensional I think, but I don't think that equates to him being an inferior character; he just doesn't seem to have the internal dialogues or conflicts that many of the other characters show. Understandable I guess, considering his upbringing.

If you're looking for Star Wars books that challenge the "light side and dark side" duality, I'd recommend 'Plagueis','Deceived', and 'Revan'. There are probably better examples, but I've probably not even read 1/3 of the released Star Wars novels

One of the better ones I've read was the book that went to the Force Unleashed game. It shows the struggle between light/dark pretty well(I may be a bit biased because I Galen Marek is pretty awesome). I played through the game pretending that it was the book storyline, then I was happy with it.

I'll try Revan and some of the maul books! Thanks for the recommendation!

Accidentally these are the only two other books I have read from Star Wars Universe. I quite enjoyed "Revan", but "Plagueis: Deceived" for some reason really didn't make it for me at all. I guess, it was partially too 'romantic' (I know awkward word to use for such a book) for me. Might also be that I just like more the style of Drew Karpyshyn. I also think that the world created in "Revan" was more interesting, I really like the idea of getting to know the rest of the SW Universe in addition to classical planets known from the movies.

Thanks a lot for recommendations!

George Lucas and Disney ar emy least favorite.

Bane of course. The master of the dark side. I think she had a part in the end if so I dislike Zana, its a bias that of mine, dislike making little girls evil. I know Bane really make her do those things but its a part bias.

I liked the bar keeper. I thought Banes old man was a bit of a bastard.

Agreed.
