Force Users are "strong in the Force". It allows them to use unnatural and sometime insanely powerful abilities. BUT ! This has nothing to do with the strength of one's mind. It is said that people with a strong willpower cannot be affected by mind tricks and mind control. The best exemple is in Clone Wars, when two Jedi Masters and the Chosen One group together to mind control Cade Bane, who resist to the point of nearly dying from exhaustion... Cade Bane is not Force Sensitive and has never been stated or noted to be even a little bit strong in the Force. Valkorion's mind control suffer the same weakness : it is stated that he specifically uses means to lower your willpower : - By accepting his powers, you accept his influence. - By making you absorb the life force of those close to him, he strengthen his own connexion to you. - Even with all that, he still must win a battle in the center of the mind to take control. Furthermore, not being Force Sensitive does not mean you are defenseless against Force Users. Sure, Force users can resist to Force powers with their own, but that defense isn't absolute or even reliable in itself. There's a lot of way to fight a Force User without using the Force yourself... Kotor 2 gives us two exemple : First is when HK-47 teaches you how to fight a Jedi... what weapon to use and how to severe their connexion to the Force. The second is your battle against Dark Sion, who is litteraly invincible thanks to the Force... and the only way to beat him is to convince him to abandon his rage. In my opinion, sufficiantly smart people can beat Force Users, even strong ones.

Or better... Add a customisation slot in which you can equip a pistol...

I can't abandon the quest. Either, allow us to abandon this quest or make it soloable. Not that I wouldn't like to do it the "vanilla way", but it's difficult to be accepted within an operation group.

Siths aren't necessarily "space nazis", but they are fueled by their passions and focus on the most negative ones. Of course there will be some puppy kicking at some point... But, as others said, most of them have a purpose : Darth Jadus plan to make averyone fall into fear and degradation. He doesn't do this for the evuls, but because it will make him more powerful. The Emperor is similar in that regard, as he fed on the fear of others during his early life, before starting to feed off people souls. The sad truth is, the corruption of the Dark Side is not needed for amoral and sadist people to exist... but the Dark Side do corrupt people into amoral and selfish monsters. At best, a Darksider is a well intentionned monster, but he is a monster still. My main character, the Sith Inquisitor, is a pragmatic, sympathetic monster : she wants to power (both political an through the Force), can and will do anything to achieve this goal. She has some sadist streaks, where she can torture people just because it's fun (or because they pissed her off)... but she will also try to avoid unnecessary casualties and wishes to achieve peace and become a benevolent ruler.

By the power of Sith Alchemy, I zombify this thread. Necrothread go ! I was googling "Gree vs Vong" and it led me here. 1)Jedi or Sith? Sith ! Because Jedis are kinda hypocrites and are definitely not good guys (even if they delude themselves into thinking they are). 2) Favorite Worlds? Korriban : because haunted Sith tombworld ! Nar Shaddaa and Tython : because haunted Jedi tombworld ! 3) Type of lightsaber, Lightsaber color and fighting style? Single lightsaber with a purple blade, fighting defensively. 4)Favorite Species? The Chiss, because Thrawn. The Yuuzhan Vong, because even their spoons are living beings ! 5)Favorite vehicle? The Imperial Agent's ship. 6)If you were a Jedi which master would you want? Mara Jade, because she is cool and wise and a ****** redhead. 7)If you were a Sith which master would you want? Darth Marr or Darth Revan. Marr, because he is a ****** warrior who is not the mindless power hungry darksider most of the Siths are. Revan, because she (yes, SHE) had a really interesting view on things. 8)If you were a Sith, then what would your "Darth" Name Be? Darth Artificis 9)Favorite Film? The Empire Strikes Back 10)Least favorite film? The Phantom Menace 11)If you could write your own Star Wars novel, what would it be about? The story of a villain protagonist (probably a Sith or at least a Dark Jedi) who brings the Republic down. Something like episode 4/5/6 but with a villain instead of Luke and the Republic instead of the Empire. 12)Which film has your favorite soundtrack? The Empire Strikes Back 13)Do you collect figures? Non. 14)In your opinion, what is the best thing about the EU? Right in the title : it expands the universe. 15)In your opinion, what are the worst things about the EU? It's so huge that it is bound to have silly stuff in it. 16)What Does Star Wars mean to you? So many, many things. I would need a scientific article (you know, those articles with 100 pages) to properly answer this question. Round 2: Revan or Meetra? If you talk about the SWTOR versions, Meetra. Because she's so painfully underdevelopped that I can still headcannon pretty much anything about her... and SWTOR's Revan is so awfully bad... If you talk about the KOTORs version, then Revan, from a reaaaaly small margin. KOTOR 2 Revan is infinitely more interesting than SWTOR's Revan... even though he never appear in the game. If you could belong to any Era of Jedi/Sith orders, which would you belong to and why? Eeeeeeh dunno. some Old Republic era for sure, but I cannot tall which one exactly. If you could belong to any Non-Force Sensitive order, which'd you pick and why.... And yes, simply being a smuggler counts House Inrokini, aka, the techwiz clan of the Chiss. If you could have ONE ship, which'd you pick? Any class. A Yuuzhan Vong World-Ship ? Favorite Star wars animal? Tuk'Ata are cute ! Favorite Character? Kotor2 Revan (Woman Darksider version) Favorite Jedi? Luke Skywalker. Favorite Sith? Darth Revan, frome KOTOR2 (still a woman) Favorite Non-Force dude? SWTOR Imperial Agent if played as a Lightsider loyalist. If you could change one thing in Galactic History, what would you change? Revan, obviously. If Malgus' Sith Empire had survived the False Emperor storyline, what do you think would have happened? Would he have won the war? Would you have joined him? Yes and Yes. Darth Malgus empire would have the both strengths of the Republic and the Empire. The only reason I could see it crumble is because Malgus hismelf is too much of a warmonger. And yes, I was heartbroken when I had to fight him without any option to join him. Do you think Darth was originally intended to be Darth Vader's first name? (always bugged me) Nope. I always thought it was a title. Which blaster would you wield, if you did? Or you A Vibroblades guy? You don't bring a sword to a gunfight... unless you're a Sith or a Jedi. And I wouldn't wield blaster, I would wield a charric... you know, the Chiss maser based weapons ? Pre-TPM or Post ROTJ? Pre-TPM Courtesy of Beni... Favorite Clone Wars episode. idn't see enough to answer. Your favorite Star Wars scene. "No... I am your father !" It might seem like a cliche nowadays, but back then, when I first discovered the film, it was so powerful ! Funniest moment. Leia and Solo bickering in Episodes 4 and 5. Saddest moment Any moment with Jar-Jar or the Ewoks. Favorite quote "And there's always be a Darth Traya, someone who was betrayed in her heart and who will betray in turn." Favourite Actor Meh. Favourite Voice Actor Mark Hamill. I mean, come on, he is the best Joker ! Favourite Lightsaber Duel Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker in the Empire Strikes Back. Favourite Lightsaber Hilt Hilts used by the One Sith in Star Wars Legacy. And Aurbere, Rayla and Mathemagica You can master any one Force power or technique, which would you pick? Siith Alchemy, with Mechu Deru and Life Drain. If not Jedi or Sith, which Order of Force users would you join? Well... I would say the Jensaarai, if they weren't so flawless. I mean, they feel like a fanfick suish version of a Jedi/Sith meld : better, both qualities, none of the flaws... If I must choose, I'll pick the Derviches Seyugi, because I like the idea behind it. What is your favorite music track from the movies? Imperial March If you were part of the Star Wars universe, who would you want as a rival and why? Thrawn. Because someone's value is calculated through its ennemies. And Thrawn is so perfect that having him as a rival would mean I'm a real ****** tactician too ! Yeah, I would be squashed in a matter of minutes, I know. If you were part of the Star Wars universe, who would you want as an ally and why? Thrawn. Because he's the greatest tactician of the entire EU...

Well, a chastity belt is used specifically to prevent someone to do stuff... if one doesn't do stuff, there's no need for the chastity belt. In that regard, the smuggler is the best chastity belt wearer possible.

They canon'ed Revan and now it's RUINED FOREVAAAAAAAAAR. Hurm. But more seriously, canon ruins headcanons, because no matter what you headcanon, you "know" what is in the canon and you cannot ignore it. I headcanon my Revan as a Dark Lady of the Bitc* and yet I cannot prevent myself to see his manly face when thinking about it. I'm for the team : "no canon"

Same here. My char is a sorceress, fully embracing the Dark Side pragmatic. What he did was infiltrate the order, save me and mitigate the damage recieved... My character fry anyone who betrays, no matter the reason, no matter my love them. They simply die. Yet, Theron lives... because he didn't betray, he helped.

Force ritual and the use of Zildrog aren't necessarily excluding one another. Even if Vitiate used a particular mean to end people's lives, I think he would still need to perform a ritual in order to catch the spirits of the deads. In the end, no matter said murdering means, that's not what will be remembered. People who are Force Sensitive can feel the death of a whole world through the Force... if someone siphon the energy of the population of an entire planet, someone is bound to feel it. The latter is much more troubling than the former, since there are a lot of way to effectively kill entire populations in the matter of seconds, while there isn't that much appearence of one being eating said population.

My main, a Chiss Sorcerer, Empress of the Alliance. She strongly likes archeology. She is what I would call a "Pragmatic Darksider" with an "almost heretic" view of the Sith Code.

My headcannon is that I blowed him to bits. Ingame proof ? He wear all the 212-cybernetic armor pieces he can... which is ridiculous to see x)

As an author, I strongly disagree. Not that I think "war" is the thing to go, but a story must tell something. Peace is the state of the universe between stories. Every story is about conflict in one way or another... and that has nothing to do with imperialism. Be it with sport, politics, war, house cleaning... there is some conflict (and yes, even the "peaceful" housecleaning is about a conflict against that puny dust !). Here, we talk about a something that is named "Star Wars", of course there will be conflict. The whole setting is about good versus evil, freedom versus oppression. Luke, even before becoming the legend he is, was in conflict with his boredom. If there is no conflict, there is no story. Simple.

Bring in the Yuzhan Vong ! Yeah, I know they are supposed to appear in a faaaaaaaaar future... or so the Legends says (thanks to Disney). So bring in the Vong and their biological armor and weapons.
