A 2min. non-epic cutscene was not worth the waiting time.
Another failure by BioWare!

I will never understand why wanting to kill a companion A is all fine and good, but wanting to kill a companion B is "being an edgelord".

*I don't think they should have ever started the "Kill/ No Kill" companions to begin with.
They have Complicated this horribly and writing Future content would have to be...
1 A Preset Comp "Everybody Has" (This rules out Most, Including the ones we have now LI's included).
2 Characters we don't have yet (So they haven't been Optioned out).
3 Lana (we all have her) (Again, I like Lana but "Gimmie some Air " ).
4 Killing some for ambiguous reasons (Popular Important comps for many)
5 Leaving others Alive with rock solid reason to "disappear", We don't decide who's who.
6 The "Kill/ No Kill" option is a tool (weapon) that apparently requires a higher degree of sense or Responsibility or preplanning then witness so far (Its a Big Mess).
7 My Favorite...Stop Killing years long Comps.

Zapping her really should have led to an actual fight scene. Letting her walk because she can block lightning with a lightsabre? Lame. If she'd blocked it with her hand like Yoda, then that would be more impressive.
I agree there's no way a brutal DS V Inquisitor would let her walk after that. They'd try to beat her into submission.

A smarter Sith wouldn't have shocked her at all (Light, Dark, or Neutral) instead they would have tried to manipulate her - much more fun than *zap* "I still own you, not-Ahsoka".
But then I'm never taking an Inquisitor through the Valkorion family soap opera, so I'll never lose her and thus never have to play out the badly-thought-out reunion.

What are you bloodthirsty! I hope your favorite pixels are waiting for the same fate that you want for poor Ashara!
I promise to cut this degenerate Theron!

BW has their precious? Nothing is fair. Nothing will ever be fair. They just wasted dev time and money doing a romance for a mass murderer AND everyone who did that scene got armor that goes for four-figures on the Cartel Market, do we really want to talk FAIR?

Why isn't there the same outrage among some posters about that? If we really want !!!EQUAL TREATMENT!!! why isn't there the same outrage that Vector, Corso and Andronikos didn't have kill options either? Andronikos's return is about him raiding Eternal Alliance ships. Not punishable by death, I guess? That's the Sith Inquisitor too, but that's fine, amirite? I'm sure every Dark V SI would let someone walk away for raiding their ships, right?

It's not about equality. It's not about parity. Can we stop claiming that? It's about them not getting to kill a female character they don't like, saying nothing about returned male companions without kill options, and then claiming it's not 'equal.'

Ashara is NOT a fan favorite. People who do like this character waited more than TWO years from the time of KOTFE's release to get her back. When they did get her back it was two minutes, and she will never be in the main story. Meanwhile Vette, Jorgan, etc, came back almost immediately and had full chapters.

Nothing's equal, guys. And if you're going to insist that everything's need to be equal and everyone needs a kill option I expect to see all of you posting "Why no kill option?" threads about the returned male companions as well., and applauding when Theron gets a kill option alongside Lana. Because fair is fair and maybe those precious male characters of yours should be included in this 'equality.'

And then when BW kills off every companion and we're expected to use an Akk Dog companion from the Cartel Market to play the two minutes of solo content they'll give us this year, I hope you'll be pleased.

The thing is, I haven't really wanted to kill anyone else, I fight on Quinn's behalf and Theron's and I'm fine with the other companions only other one I killed was Skadge.

I think it's ironic with so many people screaming for Quinn's and Theron's blood to name examples, but when I want to off someone I don't like, it's not okay. My Sith wasn't able to act within her nature and should've been allowed to. When I say where are all the edgelords I'm talking about all the people that were screaming for blood when it comes to Quinn and Theron and others.

Nothing I haven't heard before. But I guess some pixels are allowed to be hated while others are precious.

It's not about gender, for me it never was. It was about killing a mealy-mouthed indecisive brat of a character that defied and irritated my Sith and the fact that my Sith wasn't allowed to act on her nature. I enjoy plenty of female characters, I just don't treasure this one. I never have.

It's like I feel like asking the game, 'do you even Star Wars?' When a Sith isn't allowed to act like one? What isn't fair is that Sith Warrior can kill someone he/she hates, but SI isn't granted the same ability?

While there might be people who just scream for any kill option at all, I'm willing to bet there is also loads of people who feel it's out of character for their characters to, in example, accept the betrayal from Quinn or Theron. I don't think you wanting Ashara dead is any different from many of those people. However, I don't feel there's anything wrong with it, either. You want Ashara dead? Yeah, I can see why. Other people want Quinn or Theron dead? Again, I can see why.

I just think it's a little hostile to call people names like "edgelord" for disliking and wanting to kill a different character than you.
