Star Wars: Essential Legends Collection Darth Bane Trilogy Books Set By Drew Karpyshyn(Path of Destruction, Rule of Two & Dynasty of Evil)

Drew Karpyshyn accomplishes so much as an author in the Darth Bane trilogy! He's written unique and compelling characters(villains and anti-heroes) who all attempt to seize power in their own ways during the final years of the Old Republic. The main characters are so compelling and so committed to their vision that despite the deplorable and savage acts they do(they are Sith Lords after all) you just can't help but root for them the entire time, even as they unleash their devastation on completely innocent lives in the most brutal ways. There is so much to love and so much to gloat about in this series but I want to avoid details because the story really packs a punch if you go in completely blind and hopefully having NOTHING spoiled for you already. I could NOT put these books down and just kept reading because I NEEDED to know the fate of these characters. The story is that good. If you have been craving a darker exploration of the Sith mythology in SW lore or have always wanted to experience a "r-rated/horror" themed Star Wars story this trilogy will deliver that in spades and then some. In a lot of ways it feels like the evolution of a series written by an author who not only understands the essence of what made us all love this universe in the first place, but how to evolve it in ways that actually work! I can't believe that I had put off reading these books for so many years but having been let down by the Disney era SW content(to each their own/I'm personally not a fan of their stories) this satisfied that craving I've had for GOOD SW content. It's out there and for me, its not only this trilogy but most of the awesome stories I've only now been catching up on in the Legends library. If you're a SW fan and have not read this trilogy yet, just do yourself a favor and buy these books already. You'll be mad you haven't done it sooner.

best star wars books ive read so far

If you grew up in the legends era and have not read these yet you owe it to yourself to read them!

Good books, a man’s decent into evil. Brutal and addictive the whole way through.

The dark brain trilogy is a must read for any Star Wars fan!

Paperback set of Darth Bane Trilogy. Bought as a gift. The paperback books arrived in great shape, wrapped in plastic as a set. The person was very happy with the books.

Great books! A must read for Star wars fans, and a great end to the old republic. I love the new cover art, but do be aware this is the UK printing and is a bit smaller than the US printing as shown in the photo above with the Darth Plagueis novel.

Excellent story and writing style! I am midway through the last book. I have enjoyed every page in this collection so far. I wish Disney would turn it into a big screen trilogy as well. With "The Rock" taking the lead in Darth Bane's role 🤭🤩 Love the new covers as well! The wife saw the books and said back to me: "Since when are you into Japanese Anime?" 😅 Excellent work Drew, God bless you! 🤗

All the books arrived damaged

Purchased as a gift and receiver was very happy, books arrive in beautiful condition.

bought as a gift. Package came in quick, no damage detected, great quality... be careful wehn opening and flipping the pages because if you are too harsh, the book will be folded.

This is an example of one of those beautiful gems that weren’t necessarily lost when the Disney takeover essentially wiped away decades of Star Wars lore. Because Darth Bane is canon in the new Star Wars universe, these books can be enjoyed without worrying that it’s not relevant to the wider, current context. And since Darth Bane and the broader events around him are indeed canon, and have not been replaced by another story, you can sit back and be completely enthralled by the author’s skill. Karpyshyn’s intricately crafted work that brings to life how Darth Bane came into being, is so satisfying, and I found myself so engrossed, that I finished the book in just a few days. Honestly, he is breathtakingly talented, and I am so happy to have decided to jump into this trilogy. Bane’s transformation is completely believable, and as somehow both the villain and the hero simultaneously, is a testament to the author’s sheer ability to create something very special. I have already started book two, and unfortunately I’m gobbling that one up at an even faster pace! Damn you, Drew Karpyshyn! 😉

Ich fand die Trilogie sehr spannend und fesselnd es dauert immer etwas bis man sich von einem Buch in das andere hinein gefunden hat aber dann kommt man nicht mehr los außerdem haben die Cinematics sehr geholfen das Geschehen zu Visualisieren!
