Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith #2 Page 12 by Ramon Bachs

Celebrating May 4th with this page by Ramon Bachs and Raul Fernandez from the Jedi vs. Sith miniseries that is set 1,000 years before the original Star Wars trilogy and features the Sith Lord Darth Bane chastising his rival in the Brotherhood of Darkness Lord Kaan over his battle strategy in the campaign against the Jedi on the planet Ruusan during the final days of the New Sith Wars.

Darth Bane was first mentioned in the novelization of The Phantom Menace in 1999 and made his first appearance in the short story Bane of the Sith written by Kevin J. Anderson that was published in Star Wars Gamer magazine in 2001.

The character is a key figure in Star Wars lore and was the one who first instituted the Rule of Two to replace the Brotherhood of Darkness dictating that there can only be two Sith at one time in the galaxy, a master and an apprentice. Special thanks to Addison Miller who was kind enough to sell me this awesome page in a bundle with some other art.
