The end of the line of Bane doesn’t come with lightsabers or raging battles. Because heroes are wonderful beings, really, but treachery is sometimes too powerful, too secret, to quietly die like that. Sometimes, heroes jumping into the fray, lighsabers blazing, are not enough. No, the end of the Sith’s line, comes with a whisper in Shaak Ti’s mind, on Kamino and with the love a Dark Lord still feel for a dead Padawan.The Sith’s line die, because Shaak Ti listen, and because Tyrannus never really succed in kiling Dooku’s love for Qui-Gon Even if the Holonet is full of ‘The Negotiator’ or ‘The Hero with no fear.’, the other Jedi are terrible ennemies for the Sith too, every one of them, and Shaak Ti is a Master, a pillar in the Force, powerful and wise. Sidious only has eyes for Anakin, for Kenobi, who could save Skywalker, for Yoda, perhaps the only one powerful enough to kill him…Not on Shaak Ti, training the clones on Kamino. Perhaps, simply, Sidious’s defeat came from being a misogynistic Sith. Years later, Shaak Ti would still remark than others would have listen to the voices too, Yoda for example. But Yoda was on Coruscant, knee deep in politics….and that image always gave her strange desire of giggling, Master of the Jedi Order or not. So, when the whispers came, she quietly finished her day on Kamino, meditated a few hours, and the took a shuttle, alone, to a strange little moon. And found the pod, more vegetal than technology, shining in the Force, an ancient power, forgotten, but not less shining for all the years. She had no idea, not even a glimpse, of the function, the provenance, the nature of that thing. But she knew how to listen to the Force, so she sat just before the Pod, and started feeding him light, power, encouragements….
