      Cause she was the antithesis of what she believed in. She was all about the balance and discarding hypocrisy, yet she was a full blown sith who embraced the dark side completely. She knew she had to die to achieve her philosophy. She taught you everything she could to set you on the right path, and uses you to correct her ideals. She killed the council because they wanted to cage you and Revan your mind to try and lobotomize you to the Light side again, and if that didn't work they would just kill you. The Masters were being hypocritical to the Jedi code, and they were perverting what was left of the Order and you, using the Light side as an excuse, so she got rid of them.

        The biggest antithesis to Kreia is the game itself, because it locks you in bullshit affinity and influence systems, without providing an alternative that follows Kreia's philosophy.

      She wanted to get rid of the past to start anew. Despite her philosophy being about the true lesson of strength to being able to let go of power/the Force, she couldn't do it. She had the Exile kill the Jedi Masters and the Sith, which had to include herself. Ironically, getting the Sith killed achieves Balance, which serves the will of the Force. Even in defiance, Kreia did the Force's bidding.

      If Kreia kills the Exile at Malachor the resulting echo would effectively (although not actually) kill the Force in the galaxy, or at least deafen all living things to it. This would have probably killed trillions of living things but the survivors, like the Exile, would live a life free from the influence of the Force and the galaxy would ultimately be better for it (in Kreia's mind).
      If Kreia is killed by the Exile at Malachor, all future Jedi and Sith will ultimately derive their philosophy from the teachings of the Exile who learned to live life free from the Force's influence, and so Kreia can have hope for a future in which the wielders of the force can evolve to become more than mere tools of its influence.
      She wins either way, but as she says, it could all be a massive sad cope too.

      She wants you to make your own choices, BUT and this is where most morons get pissed off or confused, she wants you to make them for your own reasons, not because you are following someone else's teaching (in-game narratively, because you get bing bing wahoo light side or dark side points).

      She's basically Nietzsche and is trying to teach you master morality. Because the exile turned away from the force so totally, as to become a absence of force, the player is thus the only one in the universe with real free will. This makes you the perfect being in Kreia's eyes and why she says the exile is beautiful to her.

      It's also why she's constantly challenging the player on their choices. She's not seeking balance, she just wants the player to make their own choices, for their own reasons.

              anon, the entire premise of nu-trilogy and the existence of First Order and the not-Death Star right off the bat send the entire thing into the trash.
              it's completely, utterly moronic, and adds marvel-tier showmanship no one asked for - like one of the very first scenes where Kylo stops a blaster bolt mid-air. space samurai Black folk can now stop bullets matrix style.
              I was ready to walk out of the theater that moment, but I persevered until the end. It wasn't worth it and Disney somehow made a diehard star wars fan despise star wars and everything associated with it. At least I have my headcanon where it's Thrawn trilogy instead of nuslop

                it hasn't happened even once before ep7 in any of the official movies, TV series, or mainstream EU books.
                It was just widely understood (and perfectly coherent) that pure energy, like blaster bolts or lightsabers, cannot be physically manipulated with the Force. And then in the first 5 minutes they go and do that just to make 5yo kids in the audience go "whoooooooooooaaaaa!!!!" and instead they pissed off everyone and killed off a golden goose. But the killing didn't happen until ep3 where everyone finally realized the franchise is in hands of creatively bankrupt people who sucked all of the soul out.

                Vader does none of that shit.

                Also this is kind of related, but I liked that the only part of AOTC where Obiwan is supportive of Anakin is when Anakin kills thousands of people on Geonosis. Anakin spends the entire movie being much better than Obiwan and bails him out constantly but he gets nothing but shit until he kills dudes.

                What are you dumb? Vader is not born until he's horrifically burned alive and sealed in the suit.

                It's not just a question of like, appearance, there is a thematic continuity about what Anakin cares about all throughout AOTC and ROTS that stands in stark contrast to what Vader is talking about in the OT.
                They are simply not the same character.

                To be more specific, basically everything bad Anakin does is done out of devotion and loyalty to the Jedi and to Padmé (who in turn represents the Senate/Republic).
                In contrast to killing the sand people out of anger, when he kills the jedi kids, it's essentially done as a love letter to her, he does it so she'll be safe.
                The PT is about how the Jedi take this good kid and turn him into a weapon to destroy their enemies and protect the state, which gives him a lot of pathological emotional problems (mommy issues) and turns him into a fascist.

                Vader, in contrast, has no such pathological attachments.

                Anakin, it's the culmination of his character: he (also representing the empire/fascism) loves Padmé (representing democracy) loves her so much that he chokes her to death in anger and out of a desire to protect her.
                Although, in a twist, it turns out that Padmé just spontaneously commits suicide in despair.

                Palpatine is the by far best thing about Star Wars, even in the ST he had some neat moments.

                Right. Palpatine is literally Satan, but he also wins by simply exploiting the evil that is inherent in the republic and the jedi, ”exploiting the prejudices of the senators” in Obiwans words. He wins because everyone else is evil, and as such cannot help doing his bidding. This is what is meant when Yoda says he is blinded by the dark side and then starts a war.

                Again, this is part of the satire of the PT: the reason why Luke can’t help but serve Palpatine in ROTJ is because Palpatine IS the republic and the empire.
                The only way for him to win is to give up his attachment to the republic/his friends, and die.
                When he realises this and throws his lightsabre away, Vader is like ”aight, fricking finally” and destroys Palpatine. The ambiguity is if this lesson sticks and what Luke will do next. If they restore the republic, we’ll go right back to TPM and everything starts over.

                >Vader totally kills Palpatine because Luke makes a show of pacifism and accepts his death though.
                He's more Anakin than Vader at that point. He completely rejects the Dark Side and the Sith to save Luke. If we have to split them up, then Anakin is the one that saves Luke

                This is also relevant for this post, but I’ll just say that Luke is the one tempted by the dark side/evil, and for the most explicit example, see the Jabba scenes. Fans intentionally ignore this bit, but Luke tries to make a deal with a mafia boss on behalf of the rebel alliance, is rejected, then assassinates Jabba and peaces out, certainly plunging Tatooine into chaos from the resulting power vacuum. That’s evil, and we see the effects of this in the ST, where Tatooine is renamed to Jakku.
                The PT just makes it even more clear that the republic is evil.
                ”Evil is everywhere and there are heroes on both sides” as it says in ROTS (i think?), like, that IS the dark side.
                It’s in action, and it’s all-pervasive.

                Tattooine is never mentioned once in the ST.
                Luke built his temple on Jakku (that's why those force cultists are searching it for clues to his whereabouts)
                Why would he build his temple on Jakku, unless it had some kind of special significance (the birthplace of Anakin, a.k.a. The Messiah and killer of Satan)?
                In a meta-sense and visual sense, why do we need two desert planets? If you look at pictures of Jakku and Tattooine, can you really tell them apart? Would anyone think the desert world in TFA was anything other than Tattooine unless told by exposition or advertisements?

                IRL, Jakku used to be literally Tatooine, but was then changed after they started shooting by just adding some exposition but you can't change the plot. So both in movie and irl, Jakku is just renamed Tatooine.

                Fascism is a WW2 cope allowing the allies to denigrate anyone not in their sphere of influence. When you raise the fact that nearly any monarchical or dictatorial or militaristic power in world history dating back to the fricking stone age could essentially be considered fascistic, academics lose their minds but have no argument because the definition is so fluid.

                The Empire is most accurately a theocracy upheld by a military junta.

                These ideologies did not exist during the time of even feudalism, so saying that you can't define fascism in the 20th and 21st century because of like, dictatorships is pure nonsense.

                Going back to the topic at hand.
                Anakin says that democracy is corrupt and weak and that he wants a wise and strong leader to take control of the galaxy (padmé), the idea being that the contradictions and tensions inherent in modern society (i.e. capitalism) can be straightened out through dictatorial powers and the destruction of internal and external enemies is fascism.
                Like, that's the core of fascism, that there used to be a harmonious society that has been effectively stolen by insidious forces.
                Anon then said "but 'peace' tho", outing himself as a fascist, because a peace that requires killings and oppression by the state is obviously not a true peace.

                A fascist state is a state built on state terror, it's inseparable from it. Certainly democracies aren't perfect, but it entails a very different relationship between state and subject.

                yeah but padme actually achieved peace in episode 1 by taking things into her own hands.
                thats the first time anakin had agency, and he helped her out and it was a blast and everything was fixed.

                that moment was forever ingrained in him and it shaped his immediate future and political leanings and is entirely understandable.
                at the very least, anakin would treat droids and slaves better than the republic/empire did,, if he was enforcer for the future empress padme

                She wins the star war and this has an effect on impressionable young Anakin, it's part of the reason he idolizes her and wants her to be empress of the galaxy, and she has, as you pointed out, leanings to authoritarianism so kinda goes along with it.
                This, as we know, turns out terribly. Even the conflict in TPM is implicitly something that the Naboo started; they raised tariffs on the feds (that's how tariffs work), they protested by boycotting trade, and Padmé wanted to use the senate and the jedi to strong arm the Feds into giving her concessions. That it was "solved" through mass death and war is not a positive, it rather gave the aliens further proof that they were second class citizens, giving rise to separatism, and another war.

                Are you for real? Despite your idiotic views on applying Star Wars politics to real world and vise versa, that's a misreading of what was said between Anakin and Padme in ep 2.

                ?t=11

                Akain says that democracy is bad because he's an idiot. The idea he proposes that 'the system doesn't work' is that politicians should sit down and talk the problem, which is exactly what the Republic does. It proves that democracy, at least in Star Wars, DOES work but it's slow. As Padme says: not everyone agrees. And his solution to accelerate the process is to use force to make people agree, which Padme points out is a dictatorship.

                The core political trichotomy of Star Wars is Democracy vs Dictatorship, which Capitalism in the middle (represented with the CIS and Cloud City in ESB). It's not about fascism and never was. You're just wrong. Star Wars has fascist iconography and shares an organizational framework, but it's still fundamentally about democracy vs dictatorship.

                But the system doesn't work in star wars, there is widespread institutional racism, it's all built on droid slavery, and it proves far too easy for opportunists (palpatine) to exploit these tensions to turn it into a machine for mass terror.

                Like, all that you wrote is irrelevant because the democratic forces, the supposed good guys, are going into the war and creating a dictatorship. The liberal senate and the Jedi are complicit in the rise of fascism.

                Just the fact that all the liberal democratic "good guys" own slaves and that they treat aliens like second class citizens should be enough to clue you in that democracy is not wholly good in star wars.
                It's certainly better than the empire, but is that enough?

                >droid slavery
                droids are basically animals and non-sapient. The real issue is that Lucas wanted to portray the Republic as a complex decaying society in 1 (in the Star Wars visual dictionary before the official one, the scrap book) as the entire system was crumbling from over taxation and was unsustainable, despite its vaunted peace. It didn't become easy to exploit, Palpatine just did a really good job playing both sides without anyone figuring it out. Although you could make an analogy of Palpatine = Lincon in regards to the American civil war and the Clone Wars, which is actually correct as Lincon arguably triggered it and periodically gained more dictatorial powers. He probably would have become a dictator for life if he wasn't shot.

                >the supposed good guys, are going into the war and creating a dictatorship.
                No, the real problem is that the good guys didn't let the CIS leave. This is actually a good mirroring of the American Civil War where the north should have let the south secede. Star Wars wanted to have the Republic be the good guys without firing the fist shot because democracy had to be portrayed as good.

                >The liberal senate and Jedi are complicit
                They did give emergency powers, so yeah. The Jedi, not really. Unless you count Windu forcing the matter, then yes.

                >Just the fact that all the liberal democratic "good guys" own slaves and that they treat aliens like second class citizens should be enough to clue you in that democracy is not wholly good in star wars.
                That doesn't happen in the Republic. ep 1 makes it clear that slavery is illegal unless you count droids which doesn't count because droids aren't sapient despite appearing sentient. And no aliens are treated as second-class citizens? Where did you get that idea?

                Droids are people, they have speech. In ANH we learn from one of the first conversations that C3PO and R2D2 are kept in line through threats of death "you're not permitted in the escape pod, you'll be deactivated for sure". That is 100% unambiguous about the fact that they have free will but are just enslaved. Lucas drives this point home in TPM, where C3PO wakes up without clothes after having been created by Anakin (a.k.a. the incarnation of God) and is embarrassed, like Adam in Genesis.

                The Jedi are complicit in the creation of the empire in the sense that they were always complicit in the subjugation of aliens seeking their rights (see TPM), in the war and seeking their own interests (see AOTC), and finally a coup attempt that would have led to a similar situation (see ROTS).

                I don't care about your nostalgia for the enslaving South, but you're going to have to explain, with reference to the movies, why the droids are not people.

                Although there are rare exceptions of droids that do think and have autonomy like R2, they aren't classified as sapient. I see this more as Lucas doing this to avoid the whole sci-fi trope of robots taking over. They're non-sapient, accept it.

                I interpret the droids as being near sapient-like but not fully or else they would have taken over everything, as Obi-Wan says. Despite your bullshit, you can't explain why they haven't done that. That throwaway line is meant to explain why droids are used as a labor force without being classified as slaves. You just use the term slave because of its negative connotations.

                I don't have to explain shit why they don't take over everything, droid liberation is only present through it's absence. The droid characters are resigned to their roles as slaves, the people who could free them don't recognize them as people, as sentient. You like these slave owners, so you don't either.
                The only person that stands for sympathy with the Droids is Vader, being half-droid himself.

                Again, your interpretation doesn't take into account all the scenes I've cited. Mine does. It is therefore stronger than yours.

                It's so weird! People fricking love C3PO and R2 and the federation droids fricking rule, but in the next breath fans will say "they totally deserve slavery though"

                Also, again, George literally said that R2D2 and C3PO are the viewpoint characters, they are the narrators of the story.

                I'm sorry, but you will be incapable of understanding star wars unless you realise that Anakin, not Vader, is the fascist. I linked the scene where he talks about literal fascism and you still don't get it.

                >but was then changed after they started shooting
                Where did you learn that?

                It's apparent from the fact that there was reshoots to change the narrative (giving Finn a smaller role and making Rey the protagonist), the change of Jakku was presumably done at the same time.
                Another example is "Hosnia Prime" which is also literally Coruscant in the film and retconned to be one of 5 moving capitals (??).

                Jakku has one sun.

                Not really relevant to my point about storytelling, you don't see Tatooines two suns all the time, but that doesn't mean that they aren't there. I think they even reference something to this effect in TLJ

                Anyway the point is that Lucas' six-film series was entirely about how the rebels won a conclusive victory, but lost it all because of their own failings. In Abrams' version, the Rebels never won - and, therefore, have no culpability.

                Hence: "Tatooine was not destroyed by the rebels. Jakku is a new, unrelated planet that has always been this way!"

                You're welcome to come with actual arguments.

                It is not controversial at all to say that fascism is inseparable from state terror, but arguing about fascism with fascists is pointless because you recognize it has a bad reputation (gee wonder why)

                Going back to something more interesting, Jakku, there's also a bit in TFA where they kept the "why does everyone want to go back to Tatooine?!-joke, presumably from an earlier draft.

                Because EVERYTHING is a logical continuation of the original trilogy. Luke is a more seasoned Jedi seeking to rebuild the Jedi Order. Leia is a politician attempting to hold the chaotic New Republic together. Han works for the New Republic trying to bribe smugglers into helping the new government get onto its feet. The Empire is massively humbled and has to be basically rebuilt at the hands of a very different, yet even more formidable villain in the form of Thrawn and the dutiful Pellaeon. New characters get introduced like Karrde and Mara Jade who are archetypes we'd not really seen before in Star Wars movies (the literal wild card playing both sides and the vengeful femme fatale). Everything just lines up perfectly to be a logical continuation of what came before. It's the total antithesis of the Disney trilogy where Luke is a depressed failure, Leia a general (the frick?) and Han a 60 year old smuggler doing the same shit he was doing thirty years earlier. The enemy, instead of a cornered and dangerous beast under the Star Wars equivalent of Sherlock Holmes and an insane dark Jedi, is just a worldbuilding mess and a shitty space North Korea.

                I'd go so far as to say that without the success of Heir to the Empire in 1991 Star Wars would have basically become a zombie franchise and gone the way of stuff like Flash Gordon. It single handedly revivified the entire series. It directly led to George Lucas returning, the prequel era and the renaissance of vidya and novels in the 90s and early 2000s. Zahn's autism both saved Star Wars, and put in the position to be killed decades later.

      HMMM. People didn't get (or maybe the movie didn't emphasize it enough) that Kylo was a hypocrite and wrong. He told Rey to let go of the past to become evil when he fought to keep Luke's lightsaber because he wanted to reclaim/hold on to the past. This is why Rey kept the books and Luke's broken lightsaber to repair later; she didn't let go of the past, she only chose which parts to let go of, which was her parents.

      Kreia is more radical because she actually sought to kill the past stuck in an eternal recurrence.

    Star Wars needs to move on from the fricking time period of the prequel trilogies right through to the sequel trilogies. I am so fricking sick of every new piece of Star Wars materials being about Darth Vader's fourteenth Tuesday of the third Galactic year since the rise of the Empire. Holy fricking shit do I not need to know what Sideous' thoughts were on the eighth day of the 15th galactic year since the Empire was destroyed. Every new game is about some wienersucker we have never heard of and his trials and tribulations in dealing with fricking Dartyh Vader and the Empire. Old Star Wars games explored all the ay from the distant past to the far flung future. Whereas DIsney is stuck in this same fricking 60 years time period and I fricking hate it.

        hanharr is best companion

        this is final, ultimate and no discussion will be held hereafter

        kotor is so easy i've begun experimenting

        stealth dex build? yep
        unarmed sentinel jack of all trades build? check
        ranged only consular? check

        i think for pure strength it's either weapon master or marauder though, dual weapon spec is strong and extra crystal slots is op late game

            hanharr is beastly strong and has the most potential for increasing your exile's personal standing with kreia. he is also unquestionably loyal to you and increases your wisdom 2x

              Increasing your standing with Kreia is easy regardless. Hell it's easy for everyone. Exile can solo the fricking game so gameplay concerns don't matter either.

              The biggest antithesis to Kreia is the game itself, because it locks you in bullshit affinity and influence systems, without providing an alternative that follows Kreia's philosophy.

              Kreia couldn't follow her own philosophy either so that actually makes sense.

                hanharr is bigger than "angry wookiee", that's his entire character

                through his single minded evil psychopathy and being able to stare unflinchingly into the darkness, he is a lot better adapted to navigating the world we see in kotor 2 than most other characters.
                he is even able to outwit exile in the type of introversion heavy soul seeking shit dialogue kotor 2 is full of, having a firm grasp of abstract concepts that shitter Black folk like zaalbar could not even imagine

                he pegs you as a bullshitter concerning malachor, he understands the weight of the loss and regards you cutting yourself off from that pain and sorrow to be weakness.
                he himself was "born" when he personally butchered each and every member of his tribe to make them pay (or save them, depending on how you view his actions) for being enslaved.
                difference is he looked them in the eye while doing it.

                you as an exile start out viewing him like a dumb Black person, but he turns it around on you.

        Despite minmaxing, everything always resists my fricking force lightning in KOTOR 2 since the modders overtuned half the game by playtesting it with level 60+ characters. It's blatant in the HK fights and Nar Shadda. They even accidentally swapped the stats of a minor telos boss with fricking Darth Nihilus.

                Try playing on hard for once. You consistently do half damage you never catch up. Your "tip" about Wis+Cha is on par of telling a soldier to put points into strength... duh. What actually happens is your FP eventually gets big enough that you can just spam to brute force past the half damage but that's independent of stats. You could be a full guardian and do that.

                With the restoration patch on hard you will consistently fail to break their saving throws throughout the entire game because they fricked it up. Base game isn't like that, I know I've played both. Nobody is saying the game is too hard to beat, you're the only one saying that.

          A properly minmaxed Consular/Master can get a high enough Force Kill DC to succeed against the final boss. The game's balance may be shit, but enemy saving throws aren't part of that.

    Killing the force was actually not a big part of the game though, I think she only mentions it a bit at the end. "In you, I saw the death of the force."
    Since Kreia is a nietzschean, this can mean like, the death of the authority of the religious institutions (the death of god) and that people are free to create new and better moral institutions without needing these to be grounded in an imaginary God.

    Of course, whether it's a literal or metaphorical death depends on how we interpret the metaphysical nature of the force, which is somewhat complicated in the movies.
    Most of our information comes from the Jedi, who are also unreliable. They explicitly lie constantly and their political power comes from these superpowers and their role as a religious secret police.

    The strongest interpretation of the movies is that the midichlorian superpowers etc. are not the true force, these are just a genetic mutation that the Jedi erroneously believe to be God

          Pretty much. Jolee is the only character people remember because he's the only one who is not only fleshed out but interesting due to his philosophy.
          Juhani is actually interesting conceptually because she's trying to redeem herself and keep her emotions in check while having an understandably bad childhood of xenophobia on Taris which imo shouldn't exist in Star Wars but whatever.
          Mission is a spunky 14 year old and after Taris becomes irrelevant beyond her brother side mission and the Dark Side moment near the end.
          Canderous is held up only by the voice actor imo. The only cool thing about him is his war stories and you never really see him do anything cool besides everyone fearing him out of his reputation.
          Bastila is baby's first tsundere.
          Carth, despite people not liking him for the [something seems to be bothering Carth] is the most important party member in the game.
          Zaalbar is irrelevant.
          T3 literally only exists to open a single door.
          HK-47 is more of a unique character but useless in combat compared to Jedi, and he has the same problem as Canderous which is to talk about the cool shit he's done rather than do anything.

          Kotor 2's characters are more interesting but incomplete which leads people to have mixed opinions about them. G0-T0 is probably the best example. A droid who was tasked to save the galaxy by following the rules, couldn't broke, became a criminal to save it, and plays up the mafia part to hide the fact that he's a droid. Really cool. Better than every side character in Kotor 1, even Jolee. But that's basically it. You want more, and it's unsatisfying. And the same applies to the other characters. 1 is bad whereas 2 is good but could be much more.

          Bastila, Carth, Jolee, Canderous, Mission and HK all have solid character foundations but have almost no plot import(Outside of Bastila and MAYBE Carth), almost no interactions with each other or anyone else, and generally one five minute sidequest and some 1-1 dialog trees each before going on "repeat your hello lines forever" mode.
          Basically they're character concepts that have almost nothing behind them.

            Truly the greatest sin of most Bioware characters, they don't matter to the story at all. Garrus is the biggest example of this, and it's terrible how they never fixed this. I'd rather all companions were mandatory (who the hell doesn't recruit them) and even couldn't die until the ending of the story, if they could matter to the plot

      In essence, yes. The Jedi Council was investigating what was the cause of the Mandalorian invasion before getting involved. In the event it turns out that it was the True Sith that encouraged Mandalore to invade the Republic (no, this isn't TORshit retconning), so the Jedi were right to be cautious. On the other hand, KOTOR 2 depicts their caution while millions were killed on the Outer Rim to be pretty fricked up.

        From what I can tell, by the time the Jedi finish investigating from afar there wouldn't be a Republic left to save.
        Their only true option was to support Revan, making it harder for him and others to fall while still looking behind the scenes for the true culprit.
        The Jedi didn't do this or anything really and thus they learned that apathy is death.

      Yes and no.
      Something that people miss is that the Jedi are not meant to involve themselves directly in politics. They can give 'advice' but that's it. They only exist to fight the Sith if they show up and train the next generation of Force sensitive and do nothing. This is to prevent anyone from turning evil. So when the Mandalorians showed up, this was the job of the Republic to defend itself. The Jedi felt that there were other forces at work but they had no proof. The Sith *WERE* behind it, but only the Mandalorians knew that. So when Revan et al went to fight the Mandalorians, they were in the wrong even though that was the right position because the Sith were behind them. However, the war was not about fighting the Sith but for the Republic, which became a political conflict. The reason the Jedi don't become involved in politics is that it leads Jedi to think that they can become politicians and use their power to make things right which turns them evil by needing to 'make things right' rather than always act in self-defense. This is the justified reason for why Revan fell to the Dark Side (ignoring TOR idiocy) in both 1 and 2, although for different political reasons (1 was just evil, 2 was to strengthen the Republic).

      In the prequel movies, the Jedi didn't want to fight a war but they actually joined because the Sith were backing the CIS. If the Jedi had known that the Mandalorians were helped by the Sith, they would have joined, but they kept themselves hidden. However, both conflicts show that these two positions can be manipulated by hiding in the shadows.

      Also, the Jedi helping the Republic to win the Mandalorian showed that the Republic was ultimately dependent on the Jedi to survive and couldn't stand on its own. If anything, the Jedi held the same principle Kreia advocates that helping others robs them of the victory. Had the Republic won against the Mandalorians, they would have been stronger for it, but they caved in out of weakness.

        From what I can tell the Jedi were always involving themselves in the world when needed. They would settle disputes between different party as a neutral party not to mention help out with various dangers for civvies. This is normal for individual Jedi but the problem comes when your entire Order attaches itself to the very centre of political power.
        Otherwise I agree, the Republic should be capable of defending itself but in the hundreds of years fighting the Sith armies with the Jedi the Republic became dependant on the Jedi who didn't have the heart or the wisdom to ween them off.

That’s why I call it a Rule of Two — there’s only two Sith Lords. There can’t be any more because they kill each other. They’re not smart enough to realize that if they do that, they’re going to wipe themselves out. Which is exactly what they did.

                No. No it wasn't. It was completely irrelevant to Lucas' world, which is the only one that mattered. Everything else was somebody else's interpretation and did not have anything to do with the actual Star Wars. Like in the case of KOTOR and TOR and the Jedi/Sith wars, that never actually happened.

That’s why I call it a Rule of Two — there’s only two Sith Lords. There can’t be any more because they kill each other. They’re not smart enough to realize that if they do that, they’re going to wipe themselves out. Which is exactly what they did.

      >weren't the jedi council basically right to avoid the Mandalorian wars?
      In essence, yes. The Jedi Council was investigating what was the cause of the Mandalorian invasion before getting involved. In the event it turns out that it was the True Sith that encouraged Mandalore to invade the Republic (no, this isn't TORshit retconning), so the Jedi were right to be cautious. On the other hand, KOTOR 2 depicts their caution while millions were killed on the Outer Rim to be pretty fricked up.

      In kotor 1, Canderlous also reveals that 'the Sith came with them with an offer to fight the Republic.' The issue is that despite the millions killed, it might have still been the right call because of the possibility of a Jedi turning evil and causing more deaths. The Jedi aren't suppose to involve themselves in politics, but they do, and that makes them inconsistent hypocrites.

      Yes. When she says this, it cuts away to Nihilus looking. That's intentional. Indignities is also said by Kreia when talking about Atton in a sexual content. The only other time indignities as a word is said is by the Exile which can have a different interpretation as it's *their* point of view of what indignity means rather than a universal meaning shared throughout the same lexicon/what Avellone thinks of indignities.

      Also, Sion was clearly sexually repressed and Kreia had him under his thumb for who knows how long. So being raped on the seat of power is hot.

        >The only other time indignities as a word is said is by the Exile
        To give further context, indignities is used by the Exile when talking to Kreia after going full Dark Side about how doing fetch quests for people is debasing themselves. Since it's not said in a sexual context, people think it doesn't mean that all usage of the word codify it as sexual, but since Kreia uses it in a sexual context when talking about how Atton think about indignities, it fits in line with how Kreia codifies the word which applies to how she describes the indignities she suffered.
        You don't have to believe Sion raped Kreia but I hold that the cut-away from Sion to Nihilus looking is to me the most damning part. There's really no reason to do that other to imply that something happened off-screen.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          That makes sense but it doesn't matter. The scene makes it clear that Kreia is suffering hard, whether that is because she beaten or fricked doesn't make a difference.
          Even if Sion did rape her she probably complained how his sloppy technique only made her cum 3 times.

            Agreed, it doesn't matter. It's subtext that doesn't need to be picked up on.

            Why didn't they kill her?

            Nihilus apparently tried to kill her in a cut cutscene.

            Although, since it's cut, it can't be relied on as factual. My headcanon is that they just kept Kreia as a trophy because she was cut from the Force, and was thus powerless. Imagine if you made Palpatine a powerless fool, wouldn't you keep him as a joke in prison or w/e? I also believe that Revan manipulated Sion and Nihilus to betray Kreia, which explains why the Ebon Hawk went back to its last location, which was Malachor V and why Sion was pursuing Kreia until she found the Exile on the Harbinger. T3 had a backup order from Carth that if anything happens to Revan to return to the last planet and find help, which is what probably gave Kreia the opportunity to escape.

              The cutscene is in TSLRCM now, but one thing doesn't make sense that to me. Nihilus eats the force, which is literally keeping Sion alive. How then is Sion able to survive?

                But that is like saying the exile had a failed pregnancy
                so it must be a male because failing at pregnancy is male

                in mythology, taking the essence of others is female. look at tantric yoga. the most pedestrian and common form of this is ingesting the male's semen. this takes effort produce for a man, so in a purely physical, medical aspect, she has taken his life force.

                but it works in ways more than one. being a receptacle for substance is a female quality. sperm, yes, but also money, attention, energy. women consume in excess, always have done. the buddhists viewed women as the biggest obstacle to nirvana

        skill points because Bao-Dur lets you pass 99% of the skill checks in the game
        Most of the skill checks in kotor2 are only skill checks for the exile

        Or am I missing something and this is a small brain moment?

          I think anon means any skillcheck related to doors, computers and droids.

    KOTOR 2 is like the Prequel to the Prequels on a thematic level. A lot of Kreia’s criticisms of both the Jedi and Sith become prophetic in Episodes I-VI. I think Luke and Ashoka are the only Jedi she’d actually approve of.

      >If queen Thalia wins then Onderon will be absorbed into the Republic and lose its identity
      >Clone Wars depict Onderon as a mutted Republic world just like any other, no hint of self or identity
      I can't remember the last time a fictional character made such accurate predictions.

        The whole Onderon arc was accidentally a vidya presentation of the Brexit debate.

            Given that the EU countries will eventually become one country as per the treaties it's going to make a big difference one day. It took 4 millenia between KOTOR 2 and The Clone Wars.

              If they had the help of actual Jedi, maybe but not as it stands.
              Besides, bongland increased shitshin immigration, they won't be a country either by your timeline.

              >no hint of self or identity
              Saw Gerrera and his gang rode the beasts. So some hint of identity remained, though in splinter militia groups that tried to reclaim Onderon from the CIS and their puppet king. Their mistake was aligning with the Republic after the hard-fought victory, which turned into another occupation a few months later.

              Good point but I wonder if Saw even knows that Onderon used to be independent back in the day

        I mean, it probably helps that they were in the midst of the Prequel trilogy when KOTOR 2 came out, so Avellone and the others may have drew influences from the Prequels.

        Not really. Kotor 1 is original Star Wars but with ideas about the prequels regarding attachments/love being bad (even if love saves Bastila because Bioware misunderstood RotJ's ending). Kotor 2 is, as Avellone described it in interviews in 2003-2004, Empire Strikes Back. Darker and deeper. It's also correct to view it analogously from original movies vs prequels because the prequel movies go into more philosophical depth than the original movies.

        KOTOR 2 is most like Revenge of the Sith in terms of tone, themes and atmosphere. Of course, Avellone couldn’t say that because KOTOR 2 predates the release of ROTS by a few months. You could put any of the political scenes or the scenes with Palpatine and Anakin in KOTOR 2 and it wouldn’t feel out of place at all.

        You missed one:

        The ascended brain take is that really you can make any build you want to make because absolutely every possible build in the game is busted in some way.

          >The Mandalorians will die a death that will last millennia, until all that remains is their code, their history and in the all that remains is the shell of their armour on the shell of a man, too easily slain by Jedi
          Even Avellone made regular trips to the PT film sets this kind of prophecy is amazing.

      Frick no, even TOR had imploded there is no current day company that could deliver on that.

      Well Kreia was a new character and not an established different character

      If Kreia was an older Bastila and was otherwise just the same "kill the force character" she would get the same criticisms.

          Well that is a different issue. My point is that the complaints about Luke are about an established character being this idea.
          You sound like the homosexuals who say Donte is fine because he acts like Nero and people like Nero
          you miss the point. Either intentionally to make a bad faith argument or unintentionally because you are moronic

          Either way I will call you a homosexual.

    The OT and PT are equally good because they all serve as one story.

    Prequel haters never understood SW to begin with and just wanted the movies to be popcorn flicks. The PT elevates the OT and gives it additional depth.

    I suppose the one good thing about the ST is that it’s a textbook example of why pandering to OT purists is a horrible idea and why Lucas was right all along.

      damn prequelgays still exist? I guess having the sequels to shit on empowered you
      Someone could just as well defend the sequels with a shitty argument like yours
