Full Series Moraband

So I was re watching the yoda arc yesterday and I thought there is some weird stuff going on at this planet for instance those snakes Bane and so on so forth so lets talk about the home world of the Sith
And its future in the star wars Universe.

 

Moraband, Korriban, does it really make a difference?

 

The name of the planet is quite literal:

: being in the state of dying : approaching death

: being in a state of inactivity or obsolescence

Latin moribundus, from mori to die

That fake 4chan leak a little while ago described a final duel between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul on Moraband.

I really want to see that now.

 

I'd like to see a series or movie return to the planet, the time spent there was brief, so it could be explored in some depth.

 

I wonder if Moraband was always a desolate rock or if the Sith made it that way. I'd love to see the Sith use it in the ancient wars that Yoda mentioned.

 

It does not but do we ever hear the words Korriban in TCW. No we don't thats why this is titled Moraband and don't expect to hear Korriban again in Canon.

 

Rebels is doing a lot of stuff with the tripping spiritual side of the force instead of you know forming a rebellion. Still it would be cool to see he Ghost crew head to Korriban. Seeing Darth Bane would also be interesting, not sure if it would fit in though.

 

In the a Q/A with Dave he mentioned they are the same thing and that both names are exceptable. I wouldn't expect to here it anyway since the comics, books and movies won't be touching that era anytime soon. TV and comics are preoccupied with the OT and the movies got the new ST.

 

George is the one who had the problem with the name because he can't hear the distinct differences between Coruscant & Korriban (or Gungans & Goongans), and he's out of the picture. Since Filoni and Hidalgo (or Chee, or both; I forget!) said that worlds can accumulate multiple names via time & different cultures, both are valid. If/when it's ever revisited in the new canon, I expect we might hear a reference to it as Korriban--even if it's just someone looking it up in a historical database and referencing the old name.

 

GL loved messing with EU fans and I love it.

 

Trolling the fans who helped line his pockets is a good reason to be glad he's not involved anymore.

 

Lucas' renaming sounds more interesting and deadlier and has a direct real world meaning, like Mortis. Reminds me Greek and Roman mythology and middle Ages Christianity and Dante's Inferno kinda stuff . Same thing with Stygion prison, Stygian means of or relating to the river Styx, and also means very dark. Lucas and Filoni did seem interested in the ancient times. Although I have a suspicion the Tales of the Jedi authors got Korriban outve Caliban which could have a few meanings, maybe why it reminded me of Caliban and Caribbean or some reason.

it's an old enough planet to have been called both. it's still korriban if you want to call to that.

 

At the time I never really cared what Lucas did not would I have if he was still in charge of LF.

 

Well I mentioned many months ago, it was possible Maul is using the abandoned planet as his current base of operations and gaining further Sith knowledge, possibly through Bane or some other ancient presence. Perhaps his forces turned against him during some invasion by the Republic on Mandalore , some of the Death Watch lieutenants or Almec felt they were on the losing side and Bo-Katan had her Jedi allies had out numbered Death Watch. Maul warned Katan that history would not see it her way, in that she was treacherously wrong in turning against him and Death Watch. I could see Maul cutting through treacherous Death Watch or Nite Owls , Clones and Jedi alike and getting the hell out've there. But its equally possible the Empire is stationed there to guard the Sith relics. I kinda get the feeling however that the canceled Darth Maul video game wouldve featured the Sith planet in some capacity, as the character was to been on a mission to destroy all the Imperial Sith which were to him an affront against the Order of Bane.


Ventress for some reason sports the black serpent of Moraband as a motif on her armor.

 

"Some reason"? She's a wannabe Sith, it's the Sith homeworld. Makes sense to me.

 

Wouldn't Sidious sense Maul on Moraband, just as he did with Yoda?

 

It's gonna be pretty much impossible to start a thread like this, about the planet, and with a big ole "MORABAND" right there in the title, without immediately touching off certain quarters and getting a bristling knee jerk reaction. "RAAARGHBLARGH! KORRIBAN! KORRIBAN! BURN THE HERETIC!" That's just the way these things go. I've seen this kinda thing play out before.

 

Not going to happen. Filoni made it clear, that Bane was just another illusion crafted by the Priestesses. He also stated that during the writing of the arc Lucas explained to them that the Sith are mentally incapable of becoming ghosts, because -quite ironically- it requires a level of selflessness, that the utterly selfish Sith couldn't even fathom to understand.

Not necessarly, he only knew that Yoda was there, because once again, the Priestesses "told" him.

 

He might be talking about something else like Holocrauns.

 

I'd love for Talzin's spirit ichor to manifest and direct Maul to this planet to gain more knowledge and power in order to defeat Sidious. They could give us a flashback to when Sidious and Talzin shared knowledge and were perhaps on this planet at one time.

 

I would also love to see maul learn how to use force lightning after he goes to Moraband.

 

There is more than one way to commune with the dead, holocrons or spirits, yes. Sith shrines have lively power in the new continuity which effects the living.

Sidious and Tyranus became alerted by the Sith spirits if you remember, that also took the form of snakes, they told the living Sith of the time that Yoda was trespassing. While Ventress was a Sith apprentice of Dooku's, my point was that is unexplained why she is wearing the snake motif on her shoulder armor & she wears one as a torc necklace in the ballroom. She was not shown on Moraband, it would be a very loose and ambiguous connection - am curious however if its mentioned on Dark Disciple, maybe she was brought there by Tyranus as part of her early training or if the snake design was something that appeared to her in a dream - or it could have no meaning at all just the design team reusing stuff. But I would imagine they'd have everything connected rather than being just generalized, but who knows as of yet.
