I will say, Force Unleashed did introduce one character I like, Rahm Kota.

...And I'm very annoyed Clone Wars didn't use him and his overall attitude towards clones...It would make a very interesting episode.

Fear the beard!

I largely despise the celibate monk Jedi of the prequel trilogy, but loved the Samurai Jedi of John Ostrander in the Republic and Legacy comics; Tholme, Wolf Sazen, Shado Vao and others.

Agreed with this.  Hate the "stereotypical" Jedi as portrayed in the prequals.

I dislike the Jedi Order as portrayed in the prequels. That said, more than a few really strong ones have emerged, and I actually admire those who are able to achieve that inner calm. It's not the Jedi themselves, although I never did like the dogma-quoting drones in any era (*cough* Bastila *cough*). Rather, it's the Order itself. Seems too...goody-goody. And restrictive. Jedi can, and should, be a bit looser while still remaining tied to the light side.

I like the concept of Dark Jedi they have all the force powers they use them for their own means but don't have cult mentality like Sith and average Jedi. You could argue a Dark Jedi has the most open view.

Yhea Kota such great general gave one good figther to thrawn Revan or mandalor the ultimate, and then the eclipse to Kota... Kota loose by fatality !
I mean such incompetent compare to Revan mandalore the utimate or thrawn... Or even cassus fett...

They want to introduce starkiller as an interesting character who never seen the ligth of the civilian life.. Who only know vader training.. Such undevlopped...
His training droïd cappable of betraying him at any moment and his best friend... Undevlopped.
Juno Eclipse, an imperial officer and a woman, interesting but undevlopped...

Next gen so...

Also Galen marek is an assassin.. So assassin = Infiltration etc using stealh force power... and nope....
Revan is my favorite character, but you will be really sad to see a such person as me, wearing the name of your second favorite character behind Thrawn.

You know, that would've been good to see. Sample plot: Kota's in some deep trouble, so the higher-ups send him reinforcements...another Jedi or two, with clones. Basically make him confront his mistruist head on. They so missed a good setup.

Oh good grief, it appears Palpatine finally has his first name revealed by rumors involving the Tarkin novel and if its true this is gonna be canon.

...Sheev.

Sheev Palpatine...Somewhere in my head, I am both laughing and crying over this name.

Sheev Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious. Hmmm...well, at least one of the new writers has a sense of humor. The second most unfortunate name for a Sith Lord. Anyone hear of a certain Alex Squinquargesimus?

So apparently the Sheev came all the way up from Lucas/Story Group.

"I haven’t rejected the dynasty I was born into. I’ve rejected the name I was given." -Palpatine in Darth Plagueis.

You have to wonder if Luceno already knew that Palpatine had a horrible first name when writing Plagueis and decided to leave a subtle hint there.

Either way I certainly can't fault Palpatine or Luceno for rejecting that first name lol

Heck, I know I would. I again cite the example of a certain Sith Lord from long ago. The trouble with Palps is that he gets his embarrassing name on the back end of the reboot. In other words, he's stuck with it. (For at least 35 years, anyway.)

What do you think to the futur canon story line name "Shadow of Revan?"

I love Revan and I really glad he return.. But why the empire and the republic join them against him???? It's tempting to have Revan on your side, I think the react will be to accept some Revans ofers and try to use Revan against each others. I found that's weird but I find awnser.


Ha miss that's after the anonce of the Revan return.
I'm chearching an audio document where the empire talk about the reborn of Revan when they learn that' Revan hold the foundry...
Brief I cannot find it But.. It say that's the sith don't believe that's Revan After the destruction of their empire won't let the republic in peace because this "false emperore" stay and will stay a sith.
Secondary Revan do not trust anyone.
And finaly The sith are in fact using the republic ! They are not really allied !
Revan is my favorite character, but you will be really sad to see a such person as me, wearing the name of your second favorite character behind Thrawn.

Well, it's hard to say where this fits in. It's obviously not in Disney canon, and if I recall correctly there aren't going to be any additions to Legends (although TOR might get an exception).

The more I think about it, that's my issue with Disney. If they want to reboot the franchise, then fine. If they want to have "their own Star Wars", then fine. But to force every future work to fit into their vision? That's wrong. Writers should at least have the option to stamp their work as Legends material. Disney-canon material should be incorporated into Legends as it fits--Palpatine's first name, for one, in no way contradicts any old material, so why not let him be Sheev in both timelines? Let the fans have their Star Wars too--whichever one, or combination of the two, they want.

Now, to Revan...he just won't die, will he? We go from light to dark back to light and then apparently back to dark...and I presume a Republic storyline will eventually end with the man twice fallen and twice redeemed. And of course they have to force an enemy-mine situation between them and the Sith...well, suffice it to say this is going to be an absolutely crucial storyline for BioWare.

Yhea fuck Disney Revan is holded by Bioware ! Fuck dinsey fuck disney all together !!! Com on !!!!!!!!!!
No seriously...
It's possible than Revan is posseded by Vitiate or Vitiate try to use Revan appareance, you Know Vitiate is a master of illusion and peharps he didn't die... They are many theories about this...
So at first the theroy of the reincarnation seam totaly... Wrong, because of Revan psychal resistance (it was say many time it was revan weakness but Know it have been prooved that the mental resistance is a point where Revan excel...) but if he still alive.. Why he don't take another body??
The theory is he use Revan body, some kind of clone (remeber starkiller) and with the connexion to Revan mind weaken in this clone (I believe the clone is not an empty shell) to control it But with his appareance it's more easy to him to take contrl of the Revanite more than on the empire... The war has been go down since his "death" the sith are more and more desogarnize each weak pass... He need something to regave intensity to the war !!!

It's only a theroy I'm not sure.. But the red eyes... Remeber someone where abusing of Revan Identity...
Revan is my favorite character, but you will be really sad to see a such person as me, wearing the name of your second favorite character behind Thrawn.
