  1. Now your talking my language . Yes a fully trained Jedi Knight should have no problem dispatching the average Mandolorian. As for the average Jedi vs the average Mando, I think it will come down to the individual, you see this is why I hate threads that are average this vs average that. Because almost all the time it will come down to the individual...
  2. But it is just your opinion, nothing more nothing less. An opinion which clashes directly with pretty much every canon source regarding this subject. There are so many examples of non-force sensitive users taking down Jedi/Sith that if I start counting them I will get a headache. Not only that but you presume that every Jedi is on the same level with Yoda/Luke/Mace/Obi. From what I can see this thread is about average Jedi vs average Mando. Moreover, as someone else already mentioned Force sensitive users are not just born with all of those super abilities that you are stating, they have to learn them. And some of them never do. I am not saying that Mandos should own Jedi/Sith with ease, what I am saying is that the average Mando going against the average Jedi has pretty good chances of coming out the winner.
  3. Should it? You see this is your opinion just because you dont like it, doesn't mean that it should be done the way you want it to be done. In fact I have the completely opposite view, I like things just the way they are. Why should Jedi and Sith have all the spot light and be nearly invincible to non-force users? I simply dont see the logic in that.
  4. So your arguments are that whenever a Jedi/Sith is killed(by a none Force user), that is either the result of bad writing or for a plot purpose? No offense there mate, but that is just plain ignorance. You see, fact is, that non-force sensitive users are known to be able to kill Force sensitive users and just because you dont like it doesn't make it bad writing or non-canon(unless you are George Lucas, which I am pretty sure you are not).
  5. That is a plausible theory, but dont you think its stretching it a bit too much? I mean we know that Darth Plagueis hated essence transfer, so if Vitiate used it, surely Plagueis would not have acknowledged his achievements. And about Plagueis not knowing about Vitiate using essence transfer, well from what I know Plagueis was one of the wisest and most knowing Sith to ever live. Meaning that the possibility of him not knowing about the Sith Emperor using essence transfer(especially since he hates the ability so much) is really small. All I am trying to say is that the things stated by Darth Plagueis also clash with you original theory. So how many things is it now -The mail from the Hand -The SWToR Encyclopedia -Thing stated by Plagueis -Revan novel(in your theory, not really a big problem) All I am trying to show you is that you original theory is just as problematic(if not even more problematic), than the opposite theory of the Sith Emperor being alive.
  6. I think that would contradict the whole thing about him being alive for thousands of years. IF he is just transferring his essence form one body to another, that wouldn't really make him a special case, let alone the being to almost achieve immortality. In short, if the Emperor dies I see the Empire falling apart. As much as people like to think the Emperor is just this evil being who wants to consume all life in the galaxy(well he pretty much is ), I think he is the only thing keeping the Empire together. The fear and obedience he commands, keeps the Sith at bay and also keeps the Empire citizens loyal. Without him there will only be chaos and destruction waiting the Empire.
  7. I havent read his books, but from what I can see a lot of people seem to hate the Revan one and the Annihilation book has received mostly negative reviews. So yeah.... no wonder he got removed from his position as the Lead Writer . I agree. I think we can safely assume that the character on the space station was the Emperor himself, which would also explain why he was wearing the mask(in order to hide/protect his deformed and damaged face). I do not think that the Encyclopedia was referring to the Sel-Makor incident. Because, it was the wrath that saved the Emperor from Sel-Makor's prison, not the fact that he had a Voice. And the Encyclopedia was clearly stating that the safeguard(the Voice) would save him centuries later. If the Encyclopedia was refferin to the Sel-Makor incident, wouldn't it say something like "The future Wrath would save the Emperor from a devious trap" or something among those lines? Also dont forget that you original theory also contradicts the Revan novel . As much as people hate it, it is a legitimate canon source, which clearly states that the Emperor is a Sith Pureblood. How the Sith Warrior reacts to the e-mail is entirely up to the player controlling him . Now I know you said this is how you think the Sith Warrior might react to the news, but allow me to disagree with you. I do not believe the Sith Warrior posses any sort of danger to the Emperor at the time he receives the e-mail. For the following reasons: -Firstly, the Sith Warrior does not know where the damaged Emperor is, so even if he wants to take him out he wont be able to locate him. Now you might argue that the SW can find out the location of the Emperor, but again I have to disagree. The only people aware of the Emperor's location are his Hand and they wont tell the SW anything if they knew he wanted to kill the Emperor. And they wont break under torture because they themselves are more or less directly controlled by the Emperor as well. -Secondly, even if the Sith Warrior could find the Emperor, why would he want to kill him? To take his place? I think that would be the single biggest mistake the Wrath will ever do if he decided to do it. For the simple reason that the Sith Warrior does not have the support nor the influence(not at the this time at least) to become the new Emperor. Just killing the Emperor does not immediately make you the new Emperor. In fact it will create a lot of problems and enemies for him. -Last point if he does become the new Emperor, the majority of the Empire wont accept him(again at this time). And these are the reason as to why I think your argument is invalid.
  8. Makoto_Shishio, dude, why so hostile? As much as I agree on your overall point (that the Sith Emperor is not dead), you cant just attack someone like that. All we are having is an intellectual discussion, dont take it too personally, just because someone has a different opinion or supports a different theory doesnt give you the right to initiate a full scale war against them. Anyway enough on that. I dont know, Ive always seen the guy as the Voice, nothing more nothing less. But maybe thats just me being biased. Yes unfortunately, our Lead Writer is also the person who personally wrote both the JK and the Smuggler story, or at least hugely contributed to their creation. Here is a quote from his 'Developer Blog', Before he became the Lead Writer I think he was also in charge of the Republic story overall(planet quests and stuff). Though dont quote me on this one as I am not entirely sure. Not much separation of power in the Writers' department is there? , when we have the Lead Writer, writing two of the Republic class stories and the Republic story overall. No wonder the Republic are winning the war!
  9. If the Emperor had the Human Voice all along, why did he ask the Wrath to take care of Baras? Surely he could have had his Voice go to the Dark Council and just say "Hey I am the real Voice, this fat dude here is just a pretender". And then if they question him, the Voice could have taken out Baras to prove to them that he is the real Voice. Moreover, if the Voss Voice wasnt the true and only Voice at the time, then why would Baras lure him into a trap. The whole point of the Wrath taking care of Baras(apart from getting revenge) was that the Emperor could not expose Baras, because he was busy or whatever, and that he could not use his real Voice to expose Baras because the real Voice was trapped on Voss. That is the problem I have with the Emperor having multiple Voices at the same time. Though I must admit the guy from the comic does kinda look like the Human Voice that got killed by the JK. I stand corrected. It does seem like it was his entire essence inside the Voice's body. It would also explain why he got so damaged after the Voice was killed. I totally agree with the last line as well. When he was fighting the JK, it looked like he was quite confident that he would win. So maybe the fact that the Voice suddenly died, didnt give him time to prepare. And that is why he was damaged so much. Well if I have to be honest, I never like Hall Hood and now after seeing this statement from him I dislike him even more. And seeing as how he was the one who personally wrote the JK story, it wont surprise me if he decided to ignore everything, and confirm that the JK killed the real Sith Emperor. As for this, the Encyclopedia was pretty much saying that the Emperor was afraid that a similar thing to the Revan incident might occur. In other words that someone might directly and physically attack him. So when it said that "Centuries later, this very safeguard would save the Emperor once more", I assume it means that centuries later this very safeguard would save the Emperor once more from a direct and physical confrontation. The one that he had with the JK. Just my take on the quote.
  10. Interesting analysis to say the least. Firstly, lets address the issue with the existing corruption on the Human Voice(the one that the JK kills). I tend to believe that the Emperor selects his Voice from the existing Sith, otherwise Baras would not have claimed that the Emperor chose him. So maybe the reason why the human Voice had corruption and the Voss one didnt, was because the Human voice was already a corrupted Sith before the Emperor chose him, whereas the Voss Voice was uncorrupted, prior to the Emperor choosing him. This is just my theory as to why one Voice had existing corruption and the other one didnt. Now as to why have a Voice when it damages him so much when it is killed, I believe that the Emperor knew the Jedi Knight was going to come for him on Dromund Kaas. So he made sure that the Voice looked and felt as much as possible like the Emperor, in order to fool the JK that he killed the real Emperor. As you already pointed out the clothes, the mask were just a part of it. He poured as much of his essence as possible into the Human Voice, knowing that it would greatly damage him when the Voice was killed. It was all part of the plan to fool the Jedi Knight and the republic into thinking that he was dead. Again just a theory. As for why Hall Hood said that, well.... I have no idea why he said it . It seems to go against pretty much everything, the Revan Novel, the SWToR Encyclopedia and the message by the Hand. I am hoping he just made some sort of mistake. Btw isnt he the new Lead Writer? Maybe the original idea of the previous Lead Writer was to have the JK kill the Voice, and now Hood is trying to change that, into having the JK kill the real Emperor? I dont know.
  11. I have to go with Makoto_Shishio on this one. Think about it this way, if the Jedi Knight defeats the real Emperor in Chapter 3, what could the JK possible do in the next chapters that would top that? I mean you've only defeated one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, everyone you defeat after that would just seem insignificant compared to the Emperor. Its just bad for the Jedi Knight's story. And it is also bad for the Sith Warrior's one. Youve just become the Emperor's Wrath and now suddenly you are going to be demoted back to just being a normal Sith, or even worse to serving a normal Sith? Youve had your one chapter of being the top dog in the Empire and that is it? You see what I mean? Also, it would unbalance the accomplishments of each character, in terms of who they have defeated. For example, with the Sith Warrior you defeat Baras at the end, now compare that to the real Sith Emperor, it really pales in comparison doesn't it? Another example with the IA, you defeat Hunter at the end, now compare that to the Sith Emperor. If that was the real Sith Emperor that you defeat, it would really make the JK seem like the most special and important class in the game. Lastly I do not think that the Encyclopedia supports the theory that the real Emperor is dead. "The Emperor created his first Voice after the legendary Jedi named Revan attempted to assassinate him on Dromund Kaas. Though Revan's plot failed, he approached within striking distance of the Emperor. To guard against further vulnerability, the Emperor created the Voice to deliver his orders while distancing himself from the forces that conspired against him. Centuries later, this very safeguard would save the Emperor once more." This quote seems to hint exactly the opposite.
  12. I am really really starting to enjoy these ‘Kaggath vs Series’, keep them coming As for who would win, I know very little about both of them but from reading what other people have written I would say that Prince Xizor has the upper hand in this one. Btw, glad to know that Malgus won the last one
