The Story Of A Cad Bane Fangirl

*A retelling of how I became a Cad Bane Fangirl and the journey of being one*


I still remember it till this very day. It had been November 2008 when my Star Wars fandom really started to resurface after falling away from it in 2005 and I have one character to thank for that. Who was that character you ask? Well, stick around and you'll most certainly find out. I remember I had been on vacation with my parents in Southern California when I told my parents I wanted to go to the nearest Target. Agreeing they took me to the store and it was there where I saw The Clone Wars Movie. Now at the time I was really getting into the series, having saw the first six episodes so naturally I wanted to see the pilot film that started it all. Yes, I had not seen it in the cinema. So I purchased the DVD and I watched it on my laptop in the Hotel Room. Instantly I like the movie. But after the movie I had decided to watch the bonus disk. So I popped it into the CD Rom drive and started divulging myself in the bonus features. But as I watched one of the features my eyes caught sight of a blue skinned red eyed being sporting an outlandish hat. Now at first I was wondering who this bloke was. But as I stared at the image enough I started to develop fangirlish qualities for him. He just screamed cool to me. Showing my folks they wondered why I would like someone who looked like Cad Bane. But then again this was coming from the same person who had an obsession to Jafar, Scar and Maleficent when she was a little girl so I guess old habits die hard. So as time went on I wondered when I would see that hat wearing individual again. But it took a while. It wasn't until March 20th 2009 was I reunited with Cad Bane again and let me tell you, he failed to disappoint me. Finally seeing him in action gave me more reason to love him to death. His very voice sent chills up and down my spine and his outfit was very stylish. Overall he was the very definition of badass.

Now ever since the premiere of Hostage Crisis I grew more fascinated with Cad Bane, wishing to know everything I could about him. Now this was hard, there wasn't much information about him. All I knew during the hiatus was that he was a Bounty Hunter working for the Highest Bidder. But then I grew aware of his role in Season 02 and how he was going to steal a Holocron from the Jedi Temple. Intrigued by this I speculated how all that would play out. When Season 02 arrived I was not disappointed in the slightest. Cad Bane was still such a badass and his scenes were jaw dropping. I couldn't get enough of him. But sadly after three episodes he disappeared for the rest of the Season. Saddened by this I stuck with the show until his return in Season 03. He had been involved in two episodes that were bookends to Hostage Crisis and let me say while Evil Plans wasn't the best episode I still enjoyed seeing Cad Bane again. Hunt for Ziro on the other hand was excellent! The fight he had gotten into with Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos, while too short for my taste had been a thrilling fight. Heck we even got to see Cad Bane with a Lightsaber! Sure he didn't have it for that long but still it was awesome to see him use the weapon of the Jedi. But after that episode Bane disappeared again, much to my annoyance. But still the second half of Season 03 proved to be a great one with the Nightsisters, Mortis, Citadel and the Chewbacca Duology. But in my mind I could not wait to see Cad Bane again in Season 04.

Once Cad Bane's return in Season 04 came along I became an even bigger Cad Bane fangirl if that's even possible. Seeing him again was just so awesome! But this time he would have some new outfits, namely a prison outfit and his fugitive disguise. While I hated the prison outfit I loved the fugitive disguise. It really reminded me of one of his concept photos I had seen on the Official Star Wars site at one time. But not only was his new outfit cool he had some awesome moments. Not to mention thanks to him I have started to adopt some of his habits, like chewing on a toothpick. Overall in Season 04 I was very satisfied with his episodes but now he's back in prison. But I'm sure he will break out soon enough and we'll see him again in Season 05 where he will hopefully have 1 or 2 solid episodes.

Ever since his first appearance I've been making videos about him, including him in fanfiction, Role-played as him for a time and even started collection anything Cad Bane I could get my hands on. However, one piece is out of my reach, but I would love to own it one day and that is the Gentle Giant Maquette of him. But until then the cardboard standee of Cad Bane will have to do, as well as my action figures, a finger skateboard from McDonalds, Two Nerf Cad Bane Dart Blasters, some trading cards with him on it and of course two items that I am very proud of. A fedora that I call my Cad Bane hat and of course a Topps Cad Bane Dog Tag Necklace. I wear that necklace everyday. That's how dedicated of a Cad Bane fangirl I am. Oh and the Lego form of Cad Bane is adorable :3 I could just hug him all day long and I also hope to add the Disney crossover figure (Goofy Cad Bane xD) to my Cad Bane collection as well. That would be just swell!

So, that's basically the story of how I became a Cad Bane Fangirl. It's a rather interesting story and I can't see myself renouncing myself as a Cad Bane Fangirl. Not at least for a very long time. Ever since no other character has come even close to trumping Cad Bane from my heart. Not even the likes of the Son of Mortis or Rako Hardeen. No one. That's how loyal of a Cad Bane Fangirl I am. Sure there are people who often ask me why I have such a love for him but I just tell them he's just a really special character to me. Nothing anyone can say or do will convince me otherwise. So I better wrap up this tale. So for anyone who's been wondering how I became such a big Cad Bane fangirl, here's your answer. This is JessicaBane501, rabid Cad Bane Fangirl signing out. Peace...
Basically a retelling of how I became a Cad Bane fangirl and my journey of being one. Enjoy...
