Question: Did you actually defeat the Emperor? No the answers not as simple as "yes I actually did idiot".

No a closer example would be Russia fighting their ally Germany because Germany betrayed them. Just because you cannot comprehend the scenario doesn't make it ridiculous. Moreover it is almost as ridiculous to suggest that fighting a particular threat with a faction warrants their undivided, unyielding loyalty. Hell the Americans helped the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and that didn't exactly work out well did it? There's also that ancient device which talked about the Sith Jedi war. It was mentioned that it hadn't been fully translated. It's very likely (depending on who actually wrote it) that the details of this will be discussed. Given that its in Sith hands at the end of the story, bets are that it very much will be discussed in a particular way. Ok but its a pretty shaky foundation to the solid claim you're making. What you're essentially saying is that endings are absolute so long as they don't invalidate each other. Ultimately paths will invalidate each other in a natural way (counter attack, new developments, etc.). Otherwise you might as well say that Darth Decimus conquered Corellia the end. Developments could and did happen leading t the Republic killing him. Similarly, in the future, the Empire might strike back and reclaim Corellia. With the absence of further evidence discussion on objective canon is completely pointless. Which is basically what I've been saying all along. That doesn't invalidate discussion on canon, however, just makes objective "this is the definite situation" answers false. Do they? Balmorra is within Empire territory and thus within striking distance. Balmorras assets are one small orbital bombardment away from being utterly useless. Taris represented a massive investment in resources and (presumably promised) prospective refugee colony, a critical problem for the Republic as shown on Coruscant. Without it they'll have a lot of angry, homeless and poor sentients out for a roof on their head. Hell if Coruscants hit by an arab spring esque riot the Republic would be in trouble.

I'll laugh if, after all this Sidious V Vitiate discussion, it transpires that Sidious is Vitiate reborn.

So in essence you are saying that factions never switch sides. It is very possible for the Voss to reconsider their position if evidence of a past atrocity comes to light. Defeating a stronghold does not end the threat of their mortal enemies. They haven't exactly enacted a genocide on the Gornak have they? Maybe he had a really bad day? Maybe he just doesn't like the Imperials/has sympathies with the Republic? There are plenty of reasons for someone to dismiss one idea stronger than the other. His tone in isolation means nothing. Assuming that it does in fact invalidate them. You also assume that the decisions in an ending is set in stone and that nothing can happen later on to alter its outcome.

More to the point, Quinn so obviously bats for the other side it's astonishing he hasn't brought home the Ashes.

And the same shipyards. Honestly why Sienar Fleet Systems weren't pulled down or at least monitored defeats me. They are the Goldman Sachs of the SW universe.

If the occasion warrants it, it'll be used. Ergo me using all of the above devices. Are you honestly saying that no faction has ever switched sides in a war? Especially when something embarrassing comes to light? I'm not following your logic... How does it fit in? How does a dissenting/assenting voice on the Three equate to that scenario? You also make no reference to my other points.

I don't think the NSW actually succeeded in toppling the Republic. I haven't read it in depth as it was an utterly retarded series (look guys, Space Sailships!). Regarding Sith - what is Sith? The Galactic Empire style can be attributed to being Sith and so too can the retarded Old Sith Empire (at least their ships had masts, not sails I guess). Isn't part of Sith ideology subversion of your enemies? Ultimately conquering the Republic by force and subverting it would be the ideal Sith ideology. I don't see the Sith as winning and the Galaxy's Sith. The facts don't substantiate it. Rather I see it as the Sith winning outright and getting ultimately toppled, from within or without. Historically, a parallel in this viewpoint might be with Franco's Spain, whose fascist party won the civil war but ultimately transitioned to democracy on Franco's death.

And yet Palpatine managed this is barely half a decade... if it happened once it can happen again. Obi Wan's quote doesn't mean a lot. The Jedi can still be guardians of peace and justice in a vanquished Republic. Hell they can do a lot more than they were doing after the Treaty of Coruscant up until the end of the Cold War. They could even have a dark stain on their history. It certainly wouldn't be the first. I leave you with Palpatine's quote: "Once more the Sith will rule the Galaxy."

What if: Just throwing it out there. The point being that this isn't necessarily a Zion from the Matrix when we know what happens because it was a) explained before the actual event and b) the actual event was shown.

Wow, why so mad bro? If you actually read the entry you'd have seen that the reference to the NJO character is unsourced. That its referenced means nothing without seeing the original article. Also the destruction of a planet does not invalidate its usefulness. Look at Peragus. Saying one obscure character (out of an entire cast in a lore) came from there means absolutely nothing. Hell the reborn Jedi Exile came from Peragus. Does that means that he comes from a place of population, trees, sunshines and rainbows? Comments here in red.

To be fair, did you honestly expect any other likely outcome in KOTOR? That said, I expected them to either die on the way or pursue a holy grail which didn't exist. It's like the FO:NV quest involving the exact same thing, when Ghouls go to inordinate lengths to program rockets to go to their Promised Land. I fully expect a DLC in which we see their charred mangled corpses littering a wrecked crater.

Why can't SW's Force Choke companions during romancing. How can you Force Choke droids? Why can't JC's summon magic carpets during romancing? Why doesn't the BH burn himself when using Death from Above? Where does the IA keep all those long shards he sticks in people? Without the answers to these questions our lives will never be complete.

I blame the Supersize Me effect.
