In-Depth Analysis // Cad Bane
from Star Wars BLIP Podcast · host Tyler Dailey
Who is Cad Bane? Cad Bane was a Duros male bounty hunter and mercenary in the galaxy whose career spanned from the fall of the Galactic Republic, the reign of the Galactic Empire, and into the era of the New Republic. He specialized in fighting Jedi and dueled with some of the most skilled Jedi during the Clone Wars, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. His reputation led him to be repeatedly employed by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, working for him on numerous projects, including infiltrating the Jedi Temple to steal a kyber memory crystal containing a list of Force-sensitive children throughout the galaxy. Why was Cad Bane so formidable? Iconic Toothpick Sheer Cunning and Brains He was so skilled that he beat Hunter in a duel and countless others, and had a quick draw he retained into his seventies, he also proved to be more skilled than Boba Fett, outdrawing him even though Fett had his EE-3 carbine rifle in his hand, while Bane's gun was still in its holster. Why Cad Bane is still alive? In the book of Boda Fett, Cad Bane battles Fett in episode 7 “In the Name of Honor” (although previously making his live action debut in Episode 6 while working for the Pikes) Although "Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor" implies that Cad Bane died upon being stabbed by Boba Fett with his gaderffii stick, the 2023 reference book Star Wars: Timelines merely states that Bane was "out of action" following their duel instead of dead. When Bane is stabbed the camera pans over his face and zooms in. While this is happening we still hear a beeping noise coming from his breathing apparatus. Leave a review or email me! Thanks!
