I did this a while ago, forgot to put it anywhere lol

But honestly, the Og Star Wars run by marvel is so good, even if it did get a bit funky sometimes

[stellanslashgeode]

Oh, no! I just realized fem!Anakin would look like Lumiya and now I know I'll get serious brainrot over this concept...

[incorrectstarwarslegendsquotes]

Jaina Solo: How did you get Jacen to betray me? What did you offer him? Lumiya: I asked him if he wanted to embarrass you and he instantly agreed.

Ask the Master by Pablo Hidalgo [Star Wars Insider #92]

[magnetarbeam]

There's a scene in Abyss where Ben has to make himself small in the Force and it says he draws his signature in so tight he can't even sense it.

And that makes me realize that that was probably how Vergere took away Jacen's ability to feel the Force when she was torturing him, and how Caedus later did the same to Ben. Just make the victims small enough in the Force. It probably wouldn't work as an attack in actual combat, but when someone is basically incapable of resistance, sure.

In hindsight, this seems insultingly obvious.

Some things I forgot

Poe, like John, Oscar Isaac was treated poorly, and isn't interested in coming back (unless he needs money), and he's right to feel so, I would not expect Poe to actually appear, but I hope we could get some kind of mention of "Chancellor Dameron" in the film, basically alluding to Poe filling the role Leia would have in Lucas' sequel trilogy, rebuilding the republic and becoming Chancellor (a story to be told in animation or novels)

Kix, I want Kix to be the temple doctor, get Temura to play old man Kix

Villains, I forgot to say who I would want as villains

Way I see it there are a few options

Brakiss, I think he or someone like him would be well suited for this movie, given that the film is about Rey rebuilding and protecting the Jedi Order, and Brakiss' whole thing in legends is that he built a dark jedi academy to destroy the Jedi, it's a nice little mirrors thing,

Brakiss is also unique amongst the "new Jedi students turned to the dark side" characters we can pull from legends in that he was a spy, he didn't fall to the dark side (plus we did the student turns to the dark plot/character with kylo ren), Brakiss was already working for the dark, he was a spy sent to the academy to learn Luke's secrets, but Luke discovered this and tried to turn Brakiss from the dark, but Brakiss fled and later resurfaced as the leader of the shadow academy

Talon

a reworking of her at least, if you don't already know, Darth Talon was considered as a villain for the sequel trilogy in George Lucas' draft and in the early drafts of the Force Awakens, and given how much SW loves reusing concept art and unused ideas, I think this could be very possible, maybe we could even see Krayt brought in with her (but not as sith, they would probably be a new kind of dark siders)

Lumiya

Like Brakiss, she has a pre-existing legends reason to put her in conflict with efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order (honestly you could probably do both of them and have them team up), namely her grudge against Luke, of course here Luke is dead, so her vengeance is redirected at Luke's legacy, trying to destroy Rey and the new Jedi to get at him, having her be the villain also allows for more talks between Ghost Luke and Rey, where the former can explain to Rey and the audience who Lumiya is and what his history with her is

Of course, Talon and Lumiya are not mutually exlcusive, you could possibly use both, Lumiya's whole thing is trying to revive/keep the sith going, and the plans for Talon in both the Lucas sequels and the TFA prototype was that she would be an apprentice serving some kind of dark side/sith master, I think that could work

Guavian Death gang Jedi Killer

If you don't already know, the Guavian Death Gang enforcer comes from an unused design for a "Jedi Killer" character who eventually evolved into Kylo Ren, and I think it could be brought back, like maybe a darksider has arisen as the leader of the Guavian Death gang, who I think could work as great villains for the post-ROS era, they have a distinctive design, they're a criminal organization so they'd be naturally at odds with the Jedi, and with the fall of the first order its plausible that they could have risen to actual power in its wake, snatching up forst order resources as it collapsed

Sev'rance Tann

the left-field option, I'll admit, there's really no realistic chance of the movie using her, so this is pure wishful thinking on my part, but damnit I love her and its my dream to see her return

if you don't know, Sev'rance Tann comes from the RTS game Galactic Battlegrounds (specifically the AOTC expansion), she's the leader character/protagonist of the separatist campaign, basically she was a Chiss apprentice of Dooku's and Grievous predecessor as supreme commander of the droid armies (she dies at the end of the Republic campaign, chronologically a month into the war), and also was possibly associated with Thrawn

naturally she'd need a fair deal of re imagining to fit in a post sequels setting but I think she's workable (especially given how she's a Chiss dark jedi and the chiss have their whole "sky-walkers" force sensitive navigators), particularly if you go with her being connected to Thrawn since he's about to appear in a big way, maybe she's taken over the leftovers of the first order, maybe she and the Chiss have decided that they need to control the galaxy directly to keep it in order, or we could preserve her legends characterization, she's a surviving separatist commander (with accompanying droid army) who seeks to continue Dooku's work

My thoughts on the announcement of a new SW film about Rey and rebuilding the Jedi Order

First off...

VINDICAAAAAATIOOOOOOON!

Turns out all of those click bait YouTube videos about how the sequels would be erased/rebooted/retconned out were lying out of their asses and just saying what people wanted to hear because youtube's algorithm favors negativity

In any case, here are the things I want to see in the movie

Bisexual Rey, let her being the successor to Obi-Wan's Bi energy

Rose, see above

Millennium Falcon in Jedi colors, I want to see the old girl refurbished and given a new coat of paint with the Jedi emblem, and Chewbacca is in this movie as the Jedi chauffeur

speaking of returning characters, R2 and 3P0, gotta have em, no arguments allowed,

Ghost Luke, get Mark Hamill back as Luke in the spirit guide role

(also have something where Luke acknowledges/approves of Rey taking on the Skywalker name so people will shut up about that)

Acknowledge Finn as a Jedi in some way, I know John Boyega is rightfully done with the franchise over how he was treated, so how about instead we get so mention of him in the film, a passing mention of "Master Finn" or "Finn is off on a mission with his Padawan"

X-Wings, Jedi edition, I love Jedi starfighters, so I want Rey and the new Jedi to have their own model of X-Wing, built and designed for Jedi pilots

Return of that classic Jedi fashion style, specifically in Rey's case I want her to have robes like Ep I Obi-Wan

Jedi babies, show me the Younglings

Jedi Momma Rey

given that the official description for the movie involves Rey defending the rebuilding Jedi Order, I expect to see Rey protecting the younglings

similar note, but there's something I hope for the plot, Rey is obviously the main character, but maybe there's a pack of Jedi Padawans as the supporting characters

and for my most left-field, "unlikely to happen but god it would be amazing" thing I want to happen...

Old Master Reva

have Reva return, now in her 80s, as a Jedi Master and advisor to Rey, maybe she can be the Creche-Master watching over the younglings

[tremendouskoalachild]

still can't believe we're getting a lightwhip in live action actually. and being wielded by an important light side character too

anyway let's give it up for all the evil ladies who were using one before it was cool (it was always cool)

(Lumiya in Legends comics and later novels; Githany in Legends Darth Bane novel and related comic; Silri and another unspecified Nightsister, who are known to sometimes use them in either continuity; Am in non-canon Visions episode)

[knightotoc]

Darth Vader keeps accumulating young woman sidekicks:

Lumiya

Mara Jade

Trilla

Reva

And now, Barriss, breaking ground as the first one whose name doesn't end in A

[raven-of-domain-kwaad]

Probably because I am really into the Old Republic era of Star Wars but my brain always separates these "Sith" from the Sith of the original Sith Empire, Vitiate's reconstituted Sith Empire and The Lost Tribe of Sith which are actually related to the red skinned Sith species and people.

It's Fictional Throwdown Friday!

This Week's Fighters...

Darth Sidious vs Darth Caedus!

Conditions:

Dark Empire Palpatine. Legends material only.

Scenario:

In order to learn as much about the Dark Side of the Force as possible, Darth Caedus uses Flowalking to travel back in time and speak to Darth Sidious at his peak, hoping to learn from the most infamous Sith Lord in the Galaxy. Sensing Caedus's immense power, Palpatine sees Caedus as a rival and refuses to make him his apprentice, deciding to kill the man then and there to keep his power over the galaxy unchallenged.

Analysis: Caedus

If there is one thing that could possibly explain who Jacen Solo became when he grew up, it is war. Born to the legendary heroes of the Republic Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. He'd spend much of his early years getting abducted by imperial remnants and enemy factions of all stripes as the New Republic struggled to pull itself together. As a thirteen year old, he'd begin his training at Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Praxeum, spending most of his time fighting off Dark Jedi and lingering Sith Remnants. Jacen Solo didn't have the privilege of a peaceful upbringing, but despite that, he found a way to prosper. It was during these young years he'd meet the woman he'd later marry, Princess Tenel Ka Djo. Becoming Luke Skywalker's apprentice at age fifteen, it seemed that Jacen's lofe, despite its rocky start, was shaping up to be a good one.

That all changed when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked.

A proud warrior race that used bio-organic technology and existed outside of the Force, the Vong invaded the galaxy brutally, attacking without mercy. Due to existing outside of the Force, the Vong were immune to any attack a Jedi might throw at them, allowing their conquest to render planets desolate and cost trillions of lives.

Jacen lost his younger brother Anakin on the front lines and was captured not long after. He spent a year in captivity, tortured in ways unimaginable for over a year. They called it the Embrace of Pain, a device that specifically read the synapses of its target to trigger their pain receptors in whatever way the target finds most unbearable. Most sentient life dies from shock within seconds of exposure. Jacen held out for months.

Ultimately, Jacen would save the galaxy from the Vong threat. He would fuse with the entirety of the Force, become one with it to become a living god, and use that power to destroy the puppet master behind the war once and for all. Like his parents before him, Jacen Solo would save the galaxy.

Despite his victory, despite being the shinning becon of hope for the galaxy, Jacen would be troubled the events of his childhood for the rest of his. He was going to be a father. He had a family now and a duty to protect the entire galaxy. Could he allow his daughter to grow up in a galaxy has fractured and war torn as he had? Leave her at risk to the criminals and fascists he had to fight as a teenager? Could he risk the galaxy being invaded again from nowhere so that his family could experience the same loss and pain that he had. No.

Jacen Solo had spent his developing years being kidnapped, tortured, and made to fight in wars. He had lost his closest friends and family to violence. He had lost his mind to torture. He would not allow that same fate to befall his children. His family. His galaxy. Not again.

He would unite the galaxy in an empire of love. Create a world where every sapient being would love each other so deeply as to be considered family to each other, never to be torn apart again and united against any outside threat. A time of peace under his careful eyes.

His family wouldn't see it his way, of course, so Jacen would need outside help. He'd go to the Dark Lady Lumiya to learn the ways of the Sith. And to prove to himself he would let nothing get in his way, he murdered his Aunt Mara Jade Skywalker and named himself Darth Caedus.

Driven by paranoia and trauma, Caedus ensured he'd be prepared for every situation before beginning his invasion. Beyond the standard Sith Saber, with slightly higher cutting power due to its synthetic crystals, Caedus carries poison dart launchers on his gloves, turning his victim's immune system against them to kill them in seconds, a vibro blade shiv, and a blaster pistol hidden beneath his armor. Caedus spent five years traveling the outskirts of the galaxy to learn even the most obscure pieces of force lore that he could. From such sources, Cadeus mastered practices that most would consider to be... unnatural.

Caedus had the standard range of lightning, telekinesis, and tekepathy, allowing him to dominate minds and communicate from across the galaxy. Caedus is capable of casting powerful illusions, receiving visions of the future mid combat as far as thousands of years in advance (only worsening his paranoia), and create fire from nothing by telekinetically moving air molecules. He's liable to throw star ships around from space mid combat or crush your organs directly as needed, down to causing permanent brain damage by rupturing an artery in the brain.

Slightly more esoteric abilities include erasing people's memories or forcing them to relieve them mid combat, making his aura so small he becomes nearly invisible, creating blinding flashes of light, paralyzing people by electrocuting their nerves, absorbing energy attacks on the level of starship canons, and the Shatterpoint ability. Shatterpoint allows him to see the fault lines in an enemy or object, allowing him strike where a target is most vulnerable, from shattering metals with light taps to kill people in one shot.

Caedus has even mastered powers that no one else has ever used before. With Sever Force, can surround a target in so much Dark Side energy that they're cut off from the force completely, effectively depowering them, potentially permanently if he keeps it up for a long time. He can understand any language he hears automatically, track people through the force by spraying them with his blood, teleport at will, can make himself radioactive to fool lie detectors(?), and can predict the weather(??). But, most impressively of all are his time travel abilities.

By entering a deep meditative state known as flow walking, Darth Caedus can travel back in time and manipulate the past to a minor degree. He wanted to watch Peepaw Vader dice up the younglings during Order 66. Yeah.

In a dual, Caedus is unmatched by all but the mightiest. He defeated Mara Jade by distracting her with a vision of her son before poisoning her, defeated Battlemaster Kyle "I beat dragons to death with my fists" Katarn alongside several other Jedi at once, and gave a very good fight against Grandmaster Luke himself. Even getting choped up by his sister Jaina Solo didn't slow him down much as he just got himself a prosthetic knee and... never actually did anything about his missing hand because he didn't want to be out of commission during a war. So he's just missing a hand now.

Darth Caedus is one of the strongest Sith Lords who ever lived. The fandom may shout heresy for saying it, but... he's possibly even stronger than Palpatine himself.

Palpatine at his strongest was powerful enough to create force storms that could potentially wipe out the universe and did severe damage to the fifth dimensional space known as Hyperspace, where starships travel to beat lightspeed.

Luke Skywalker back then was just a bit weaker than Palpatine and needed a boost from Leia to fully overpower him. Now, decades later, and Caedus himself is juuuuuuuust weaker than Luke after he'd gotten stronger than back then several times over. ...Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment to say Caedus beats Palpatine.

What's more, is that Luke by this point can access the Realm Beyond Shadows, a sixth dimensional space that transcends all of time, including in Hyperspace. In effect, Luke can fight six dimensional beings and move in a place where time does not exist and Caedus is only just weaker than him.

Despite being basically a force god, Caedus is at heart still a traumatized soldier acting out of irrational paranoia. He's been known to get quick to frustrate and violent when things go wrong, his actions have alienated himself from everyone he ever loved, and he can no longer become a physical god by becoming one with the Force.

In the end, Caedus would lose his life in a climactic final dual with Jaina. He had the opportunity to force a stalemate, cut Jaina down as he fell... but his family would die if he did not intervene. Using the last of his strength, Jacen Solo saved his wife and daughter as his sister cut him down.

No matter who he might've become later in life... Jacen Solo had once saved the galaxy.

Analysis: Sidious

Of all the Dark Lords of the Sith who would come to terrorize the galaxy over the centuries, there is one and only one who could be said to have been born pure evil. He was not a man. Not a monster. But the Dark Side twisted into a barely human form. To the Sith, he is remembered as Palpatine the Great, the last of the Rule of Two who conquered the galaxy and destroyed the Jedi as no one before him ever had. To the Jedi, he is Darth Sidious, a genocidal monster behind the greatest tragedies and wars in galactic history. And to the Galaxy at large, he is just Emperor Palpatine, ruler of the First Galactic Empire.

Palpatine (not Sheev, that's Disney exclusive) always felt that the Naboo royal lineage he'd been born into was beneath him. Even as his family spoiled him rotten, he always felt he was destined for more. So, when Darth Plagueis the Wise, awed by his limitless potential in the Force, offered him secrets of the Dark Side, Palpatine did not hesitate. He murdered his family as a teenager and took the name Darth Sidious.

Sidious would manipulate his way to the top of galactic politics to become the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, before murdering Plagueis in his sleep. Then, under the guise of innocent, kindly Palpatine, he would instigate the Clone Wars, one of the bloodiest conflicts in history, to transition the Republic into a paranoid, fascist police state. Grooming the young Anakin Skywalker into the horrific enforcer Darth Vader, Palpatine would dispose of all his former allies when he took the throne, before purging the Jedi to grasp the galaxy in his iron grip.

Palpatine would reign unchallenged for decades, destroying planets with superweapons, instigating slavery and genocides, creating whole new forms of Dark Force magic, and crushing all resistance to maintain his iron grip on the galaxy. It was not until Anakin's son, Luke, reminded him of the man he was and turned him against his master that his mad reign would finally end. Palpatine would be cast into the reactor of his own Death Star, vaporized and obliterated. And at last, the Galaxy would know peace....

But, even after all that.... somehow, Palpatine returned.

Paranoid and meticulous, Palpatine planned ahead. He transferred his soul to a cloning station he'd prepared, letting the rebellion fight with the remnants of his empire as he rebuilt his armies and bolstered his strength, Palpatine would re-emerge to slaughter them all for failing and defying him. He would return not as a man, but as the embodies of the Dark Side itself. A being of the dark, twisted soul unconstrained by death or mortal morality.

Darth Sidious was a nearly unparalleled master of lightsaber combat, viewing it as little more than a way to mock the Jedi. Having mastered all seven forms, Palpatine would fight against some the greatest Jedi who ever lived, including Grandmaster Yoda, Mace Windu, Darth Maul, Galen Marek, and Luke Skywalker.

Despite their tenacity, the Jedi could not match Palpatine's sheer raw power in the Force. Galen Marek, who was powerful enough to pull starships out of the sky, Yoda, who could annihilate entire armies, and Luke, who had become an equal to his father Darth Vader by the time of Dark Empire. None of them alone could match his raw power on their own.

With Luke, Palpatine would spend months chipping away at his mind, driving him slowly mad to break him into his perfect apprentice, sucking out all his will the first time the young man challenged him. Palpatine could hide his darkness in the Force for years from all the Jedi in the Galaxy, flooding the Galaxy with his darkness so none could sense anything. Palpatine could slow down the Jedi Mace brought with him with a confusion haze, drive people mad with a thought, trap people in entire worlds made of illusions, bolster the willpower of his armies to effectively turn them into a hive mind, and even turn people into mindless drones with just a recording of his voice.

Palpatine spent so much of his time studying the Dark Side, he perfected every single power the Dark Side could provide at the time and could even invent brand new ones in a whim. He can vaporize you with lightning, suck the life our of you with Force Drain, crush you to death with telekinesis, fly, absorb energy, and will things to explode. He taunt Dooku how to create an army of zombies, can duplicate himself with hard loght copies, can shoot fire from his hands or freeze you solid, and can create fields of death that instantly kill any life form in their radius. Period. Alongside many.... many others...

Palpatine's being is nothing but a soul now. He doesn't need a physical body to survive. Whenever his current clone body dies or is defeated, he just transfers his soul to the next body or even to your body. He can take over your body and replace your personality, destroying your soul with his if you destroy his body through the power of Essence Transfer. Functionally, he is immortal so long as he has a body on hand.

But his most devastating ability of them all was dreaded Force Storm. This higher dimensional vortex in the fabric of space and time tears apart reality itself, wiping the life off planets and even punching holes in time. He used a Force Storm to teleport Luke across the galaxy and other Jedi such as Revan have tanked naturally occuring Force Storms only to end up getting teleported thousands of years across time. It is a literally apocalyptic power that could destroy the universe, higher dimensions and all, if Palpatine ever losses control of it.

So is this Dark Emperor the invincible god he says he is? ....No.

Firstly, Sidious strongly favors his force abilites. He thinks lightsaber combat is archaic, useful only to mock the Jedi. So, every single major victory against someone his own level came by way of his Force powers, with Mace and Yoda even disarming him outright before Sidious wised up. It says a lot that Palps doesn't even use his own lightsaber anymore. His old one was vaporized with the rest of him after his death, so now he uses a stolen blue Jedi one from a Jedi he killed personally. Probably one of the ones accompanying Mace. The only opponent Palpatine did beat with the blade is Maul who.... frankly, isn't even in the same galaxy as Sidious in any timeline....

Secondly, his own raw power is a detriment to his clone bodies. The more he exerts himself, the faster they rot under the weight of his might. Given that his clones range in age from fifteen to eighty, each body rots at different rates. After Leia freed Luke from Palp's control and gave him the strength boost he needed to overpower the Emperor, Palpatine had to keep transferring to weaker and weaker bodies that break down faster and faster.

Finally, if he fails to overpower the mind of his victim when possessing them, his soul will be wiped from existence, reduced to nothing and chaos. Though, for good measure, the ghost of every Jedi who ever lived did band together to destroy his soul forever and make sure he could never return.

Therein lies Palpatine's greatest achievement. He's bathed the galaxy in so much blood, that every Jedi who ever lived utterly despised him by the end. For as powerful as every Sith that came after him was, none was truly born evil like Palpatine.

Throwdown Breakdown:

Despite the scope and variety on display here, I think this a fairly open shut case.

Caedus has the scaling chain advantage. Palpatine is above a Dark Empire Luke, but that Luke is weaker than Vong War Luke who is weaker than Second Galactic Civil War Luke who Ceadus is just beneath by a hair. While Palpatine's potential to accidentally destroy the entire setting puts him on the same infinity tier, he is canonically weaker.

This presents a big problem. Palpatine has never been weaker. In almost every major fight, he's always been at least slightly stronger. That's how he usually wins. Suddenly that safety net is gone.

Jacen also has the skill advantage. Palpatine is a master of all seven styles, but Jacen has the New Jedi Order styles on top of that and the combat experience edge as a front lines war hero.

It's in variety that Sidious can finally claim some advantages. His superior healing makes Caedus's poisons useless, his duplicates can close the skill gap somewhat, and sever force wouldn't work due to Palpatine already using the Dark Side, so you can't cut him off by surrounding him in it. But, on the other hand, Jacen can dispel his illusions with a clap, telekinesis can throw aside fire and ice, while teleportation can handly dodge the death fields.

I don't see their time travel powers coming into play much here. Jacen's requires extreme concentration while Palpatine's risks obliterating everything if he loses control and could destroy himself as he gets hit by it.

As the fight drags on, Palpatine will start melting and will keep switching to more and more bodies, each getting weaker and weaker, while Caedus's incredible endurance and stamina lets him keep going. Palpatine is skilled, powerful, and varied enough to force Caedus to exert himself as the fight drags on... but there can be only one conclusion.

Once again, Palpatine will attempt to possess Leia's son. Unlike the then not-yet-born Anakin, Jacen will be able to resist, destroying Palpatine's soul.

And also presumably time paradoxing himself from history given the big alterations. Oops. Didn't think that through, did ya Jacen?

This Throwdown's Winner is...

Darth Caedus!

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Oh look! Another anti!

I haven't written a single lie, your reading comprehension is just piss poor.

The Sith are based on nazis. Their Code is inspired by Mein Kaf, and most Sith are white humans, even in Legends. (Vader, Dooku, Sidious, Vitiate, Revan, Vectivus, Caedus, Lumiya…). It's not even subtle. Meanwhile, the Jedi have humans (Anakin, Obi-Wan…), zabraks (Eeth Koth, Agen Kolar…), trogutas (Ahsoka, Shaak Tii), twi'leks (Aayla), kiffars (Quinlan), whatever species Yoda and Yaddle are… The Jedi are the most diverse group ever shown on screen.

Lasats, Guardians of the Whills, Nightsisters. All Force sects, one of them of Darksiders. All of them have two things in common: they coexisted in peace with the Jedi and were genocided by the Sith. Moreover, we are shown that Barriss (y'know, a Jedi until her Fall) has what looks an awful lot like a Mirilian Idol in her room, cultural headdress and tattoos, and cultural symbols on both sides of her door for everyone to see. The Sith, however, genocided every single Force sect that has different views on the Force.

Palpatine is not an exception, he is literally what the Sith wanted all along. He is the culmination of a centuries long plot to kill all the Jedi and overthrow the Republic.

"Through victory my chains are broken". (Sith Code). What happens if you don't win? Don't worry, I'll tell you: "Long have Sith Empires been built upon the backs of slaves." (Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious, TCW).

"Unholy emotions"? That doesn't exist as a concept in Star Wars, and mindfulness and control aren't repression. Tell me you're projecting without telling me you're projecting.

Adding to the above point: Vaapad. That's a Jedi tecnique that canalizes emotion (mainly anger). You were saying?

Why on earth are you here? We clearly have vastly different readings of the source material, and I haven't been subtle in my opinions. Block me, keep scrolling and move on with your life, you will be much happier that way.

You saw a clearly tagged post (anti sith, sith critical…) and you decided to reblog it to make both our lives miserable with a pointless argument. Why? Seriously, what the heck made you to do that?

Wow. "Stop sucking Jedi cock". Telling people to suck dick or stop doing so does not make you mature. You know what does? Minding your own damn business.

Enjoy the block. I will not lose any fucking sleep over it.

No small part of Legends seems determined to make the Jedi look bad and the Sith look good. Considering the Sith are inspired by nazis and fascists, it's both funny and deeply concerning.

But I digress.

One of these attempts is the character Darth Vectivus, a human male Dark Lord of the Sith during the time of the Galactic Republic, when the Sith are in hiding. Apparently, he's a man with friends, with a family he loves and who love him back, a regular job… He's a perfectly normal guy, a perfectly mundane dude among thousands of megalomaniacs.

His first appeareance is as a ghost (some funky Dark Side thingy he created, btw), when he's trying to convince a Jedi (don't remember this one, I think it was a girl?) to strike him down. This is because these ghosts are connected to a living being, if the ghost is striken down, the being they're connected to dies. Vectivus is connected to Jacen Solo, who's on the edge of falling to the Dark Side. Apparently, Vectivus does not want a galaxy ruled by the kind of Sith Jacen Solo (or rather Darth Caedus) would become.

But, unlike other attempts at making the Sith look good in the EU, I actually like this guy. Why? Mostly for the funnies, not gonna lie. This Dark Lord of the Sith, the ultimate villain of the SW universe… is a perfectly normal guy with the same problems in his life as the rest of us.

Vectivus didn't know he was Force sensitive until his adulthood when, while doing Business™️, he and his employees came across a Dark Force nexus inside one of the mines they were working in. Fascinated by the power he could feel, he disolved his business, gave compensation to his employees, and went to search for the surviving Sith who could teach him. However, despite his Sith training, he remains a perfectly normal guy who lives a perfectly mundane life until his death, when he dies surrounded by friends and family. It's hilarious, can you imagine his Master's face? The sheer dissapointment?

He has restrain and moral standards. For example, he seems to be a decent boss and doesn't exploit his employees, cares for his friends and family and, just by guessing, isn't a complete asshole to his Apprentice since, whoever they are, they opt not to kill him despite the existance of the Rule of Two.

And yet… we find out he's still economically predatory, he still abuses his powers to harm and profit over rivals, and generally win at business. He isn't causing harm to those close to him, but he's still harnessing the Dark Side to hurt others.

That's the whole point, the Dark Side is always corruptive. Darth Vectivus is just less corrupted than most Sith.

That's it, that's what I like the most about the guy. He seems normal, is normal in a way… and yet he's still an evil bastard, only the regular evil bastard we find in our daily lives instead of the murderous crazy no-sense-of-restrain kind of Evil Bastard™️ we're used to see in a Sith.

It's… a bit of a grim reminder that evil is everywhere, in everyone, including you, and it can take many forms. That even the most kind-seeming people can be evil.

On the other side, the people he's murdered are… zero. Nonexistant, zero, nada. He's killed absolutely nobody. It's actually pretty funny. He's the only non-murderous Sith in existance, literally the only sane man in an Order of fascist megalomaniacs and it's hilarious.

I'm rather glad for his existance, actually, thanks Legends. Mostly because now I can say that I've killed as many people as a Dark Lord of the Sith.
