Everyone is going on and on about how Ahsoka, Rex and Ventress are going to die but one brief flick through the board has revealed to me that noone has ventured forward with a bold way of killing off the newest character addition that TCW has bought to the roster, Cad Bane. Surely, even though he is mind blowingly cool, Cad is a prime suspect for adding extra oomph to TCW's extraordinary body count? Thoughts?

Interesting thread idea. I'm not sure which opinions are still floating around, so I'm going to pre-empt the following. XD

-Clone Wars is a kid's show, there's no way they'll kill off a marketable character, let alone any other characters for emotional impact rolling_eyes
-CAD BANE ROCKS THERE IS NO WAY HE CAN DIE
KOONFAN - that wasn't cool and is basically flaming. G_M Well, alright, that was low, but the zeal of its proponent surprised me. XD
-Mouse droids bump into his jet boots, causing them to malfunction, sending him into the mouth of a great beast. Not an actual opinion, just some comedy I wanted to get out of the way. XD

Anyhoo, BACK ON TOPIC!

Cad Bane seems very slick. I get the impression, personally, that he'll be around for a long time, maybe even all the way to the show's end. He's certainly a good way to add competent villainy or at least cycle through the list of villains.

If Bane does go, however, somehow, I imagine it being guns blazing. Maybe he'll be shot down by a bunch of clones or a major clone in a gunfight (maybe in a shootout with Rex!), or perhaps a plan will go belly up and he'll pull a crazy stunt like activating a thermal detonator.

Of course, although it fits the Bounty hunter motif for him to go out in a gunfight, it'd also be wickedly cool if he fought it out with an important Jedi or even a bunch of them and pulled out all the stops. Either fighting Anakin and Ahsoka to the death (Bane gets rid of Ahsoka, wounds Anakin, enraged Anakin finishes him off?), or even picking off a squad of hunting Jedi after him. Could be he even finds a way to tick Dooku off, and the Count deals with him.

Whatever the case, I hope that they don't sucker-punch him with a lightsaber through the back, like Gha Nackt or Argyus. It's shocking, yes, but I really think that Bane is too smooth to fall like that. cool

Ventress will not die, Rex probably won't die either since it's acceptable that he can be on ROTS. And Ahsoka needs somehow to die, or at least get another master or something, since she isn't on ROTS. About Cad Bane, he is a bounty hunter, why should he have to die?

He certainly doesn't HAVE to die, it's just a possibility. I personally think he won't. He's being built up to be a fan-favourite anti-hero, and they know it. The character has limitless potential beyond the Clone Wars show. He could easily be used in the LAS and all sorts of EU well into the Rebellion and past it.

If he does bite it, though, I see him having a pragmatic death. Sort of stuck in a no-win situation wher he just says "Oh well, we had a good run" and BOOM.

I think the main 3 possibilities are as follows:

(1) He's just so popular that he becomes a regular on the LAS. tongue Or otherwise purposely isn't killed for future possibilities;

(2) Bane is slowly won over to the Republic side and goes out in a blaze of glory;

(3) Bane kills Ahsoka, Anakin kills Bane. Dark Side-ish.

I like your second idea. I haven't thought of that before. thinking

((Right, sorry about that Garth. I'll refrain from any such stuff. Yeah, it was really uncool. doh! ))

Had a thought which was somewhere between Bane on the Republic and Bane the bounty hunter...

Cad Bane's finale episode/story-arc involves him crash-landing/getting involved with some ordinary civilians or at least a character he begins to actually bond with. Over time, he starts to actually develop compassion for the new character/characters (in these cases, usually a child of some sort who worships the very ground he walks on). The war or his personal life comes to bite him in the back, threatening those around him, and he sacrifices himself to let them get away.

Alternatively, he beats the threat, realises he doesn't want to be a bounty hunter anymore, and leaves the war for parts unknown. From there, he is left open as another prequel EU character for the boys in the novel department to make use of. tongue

Frankly, if Bane has to go out out in this series (and you KNOW he'll get punked somehow), I hope it's in a total Pyrrhic victory that takes him AND Ahsoka.

It's be fun if Aurra Sing got to him. wink But otherwise, I'd like to see a Anakin's revenge.

As much as I'd love to see him last that long, I have to admit that he probably won't since Boba Fett eventually becomes the pre-eminent bounty hunter in the galaxy(now, maybe if he last to the LAS, perhaps something going on between them for awhile would be cool.) But yeah, he seems like the 'you're not gonna take me alive type' and I would imagine he would take alot of others with him, which would be a cool way for him to go, IMO.

I like this idea too...I can't imagine him being this ruthless without some underlying reason in his past. Something had to happen to him or someone close to him to make him want to give up his 'humanity' and become this ruthless bounty hunter and perhaps he gets in this scenario and it rekindles something in him. And also, if he wasn't put in a situation to go out in a blaze of glory or to sacrifice himself for someone else, it's possible he could also disappear, although that doesn't seem likely...but then again, it leaves it wide open too. thinking

And yeah, besides the obvious choice of Anakin taking him out I would like it to be Sing, sort of like a I have always liked you and you should be the one to kill me sort of thing(or it could be that I like Aurra so much too tongue ) I don't know if anyone else picked up on it, but the two of them did seem to have a sort of chemistry together(and I don't mean that way! tongue )

Anyway, great idea for a thread! wink

Maybe they can just set up Cad Bane vs. young Boba Fett for the LAS? praying

Dovetailing off of this, why not have it so that by taking down Bane, that act makes Boba Fett the preeminent bounty hunter in the known galaxy?

Honestly, I'm seeing ship blown up in his future. It's a quick clean death but leaves open the possibility for revival, though that possibility won't be used. Though that kind of stinks too much of Durge's death.




Bane honestly seems like the kind of guy who could keep scoring it big until he gets bored and then disappears into the shadows to retire.

That could actually work so long as we are talking about a frigate and not a starfighter due to the lack of escape pods in a fighter.

I'm pretty shocked at the ammount of people who want Cad to die by Anakin's hand out of revenge for a murdered Ahsoka. I feel that Cad Bane wouldn't really bother killing Ahsoka. He rings as a fair play kind of guy to me, even though we are talking about a guy who will murder senators without blinking and dispatch an entire guard patrol with extreme prejudice. However I just don't see him as a child killer, Ahsoka just seems a bit of a small fish for him to bother with.

I'd rather see an episode where he kidnaps Padme in a deal with Nute Gunray while an enraged Skywalker is in pursuit. I just feel that would work better, so long as Dave filoni stops making the kidnapped Padme episodes for a while.

Actually, a young Boba killing Cad Bane would be an awesome springboard to his role in the Live Action series.
