  1. On the contrary, I don’t see being born from eggs to be inferior at all, why would you assume that? All I’m saying is that to think a non-human is going to think, feel, or act, like a human is a little shortsighted. Open your mind to the possible of a non-human to be truly alien, it’s a good thing.
  2. Ok, let’s be open minded about this. Why do you think a non-human would even have the concept of romance? Qyzen-Fess for example is a trandoshan, they’re born from eggs and I don’t even know if trandoshan have genders. I think it’s a little narrow minded to assume that they would have the same view of romance that a human would. Go watch a movie call enemy mine and see how a non-human may view the idea of romance.
  3. Except the Sith are not taught to “use that power responsibly” There taught to use their power for personal gain.
  4. Opinion mostly, Something likes Ki-Adi-Mundi because he stood there with a "what’s going on” look as the clone troopers shot him down. I don’t really think that Ki-Adi-Mundi is the worst Jedi ever but this is an example of what I am interested in reading.
  5. There are all kind of posts about who and why so and so is the best Jedi/Sith but, I’m interested in seeing who and why someone thinks that so and so is the worst Jedi/Sith.
  6. It’s really very simple, the Sith code teaches you to seek power. So if you believe that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the Sith are trained to be evil.
  7. Your ideas are not bad but, it’s still a lot of work for one class. Personally, if BW was going to spend the time and effort on class specific content I would rather they work on continuing the class stories but, that is just me being selfish.
  8. Were you looking for something like “Meaningless! Meaningless! Says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless. What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.” Ecclesiastes ver. 2-4
  9. I agree. That’s why IMO, it would be more fitting and more tragic if the Emperor kills Ashoka to prevent her from confronting Vader. Think about that as an epic tragic tale.
  10. The Jedi Path, Jedi vs. Sith. Thank you for the book name, I’ll look it up.
  11. Ok so, “"Now that Vader had begun to tap deeply into the power of the dark side, his true apprenticeship can begin." "More important, by the time Vader was capable of becoming a risk to his mastery, Sidious would be fully conversant with the secrets Plagueis had spent a lifetime seeking - the power over life and death. There would be no need to fear Vader. No need to have an apprentice other than to honor the tradition Darth Bane had resurrected a millenium earlier." But I don’t see anything about fearing Vaders power, maybe Sidious was a feared of Vader killing him in his sleep? And “Obi Wan Kenobi was the best Soresu user in history. Dooku was the best Makashi user in history and Yoda's pupil. So two users are the best at their respective styles in history” But how do we know they were the best in history? There were only two Sith. The only duels the Jedi had were with each other. Ok so there form was great but it was only play fighting. So how can they be better than Jedi and Sith in TOR who had real battlefield experience? I’m not disputing Vaders accomplishments, He is, always has been, and always will be, a BA. What I’m really disputing is the power of TCW era Jedi. I still believe that they had become weak do to the long time of peace and that is one of the reasons it was so easy for Soresu to wipe them out.
  12. Question, where are you getting this “He became 80% of Sidious” from? Also I heard that Luke was really the chosen one not Vader, but I can’t remember where I heard it so I could be wrong. It have also been stated the TCW era Jedi Order were much more powerful than any other before, but in the movies it is shown to be complacent do to the long time of peace. Most of the Jedi hadn’t even been in a real lightsaber duel, so how can they be stronger then the TOR Jedi Order who had 30 years of lightsaber combat experience? Even Yoda and Mace acknowledged that their ability to use the force was weakening no growing. Also Malgus stated that only through conflict can you grow in the force. Before TCW there was no conflict, so how can TCW era Jedi Order be more powerful than any other? Anyway as I stated before I haven’t read any of the comics but they seem to be contradicting what I thought I know.
  13. Compare and contrast, I like this kind of debate.
  14. So you are going to dismiss this as opinion even though Lumiya also had cybernetic and knows from experience what she is talking about?
  15. Good job my friend, I haven’t seen these comic before and it does make you argument.
  16. Lumiya stated to Jacen Solo that cybernetic replacements impeded the force and because of Darth Vader cybernetic he could never be a true Lord of the Sith. So here’s my evidence of why Vader is not and could never be as powerful as he should have been. Now let’s look at you arguments. “Has Malgus taken on 8 Jedi Knights/Masters at once before?” Malgus has taken on several Jedi’s before but I don’t know if he ever took on 8 solo or not. “Has he collapsed buildings and survived for days under them?” Yes. “Has he ever willed himself back to life?” I don’t think so, good point. “Destroy a base on his own?” Yes. “Moved starships?” that would be a no. you got me on that one. “Survive huge explosions?” Yes. “Crushed enormous droids and knock over huge trees?” No, but I have no reason to believe this is outside his power. “Take on a Jedi that could teleport/phase through objects?” No. You are making good argument and I must say it does look like Vader is the stronger, but I would like to know you reference material?
  17. It’s funny you would believe this when per lore Vader lost a lot of his power when he became a cyborg and could never be as powerful as Sidious. Shoot, he wasn’t even able to use force lightning. Now don’t get me wrong Vader was still one of if not the greatest duelist of his time but compared to Malgus? Will let’s give Malgus some credit. Master duelist, Veteran of a 30 year war, sacked the Jedi temple. In fact I haven’t see or read anything that Vader could do that Malgus couldn’t and as stated above Vader didn’t have control over his emotions but Malgus did. He even killed his girlfriend and used her memory to full his anger and gain more power. Now if someone can point to something that Darth Vader did that shows he could beat Malgus and Bane then I’ll listen but just saying that Anakin Skywalker had the potential to be the most powerful Jedi/Sith ever doesn’t count. Anakin’s story is about how great he could have been but never was.
  18. If you are immortal I guess a little 4,000 year nap isn’t to long.
  19. I don’t understand why there is all this talk about “killing the EU”. The Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, Xmen, Avengers, etc, movies did not kill there comic books even thou they were very different stories. In fact they all gained popularity. So the new star wars movie my cause more people to go back and read the EU and instead of kill it will bring it now life. And if not then the books will still be there, no one is going to take them away.
  20. But I thought Khem Val was with Zash now, after all thay are “of one flesh”.
  21. 1. Vette, My Sith just can’t go to the dark side with Vette around. 2. Minsc, at the end of BG2 he was the only one I did not ask if he would go with me to face Jon Irenicus. I knew no matter what that Minsc would always have my back. 3. Imoen, I was so outraged when the Mages of Amn arrested her that I raced thought chapter two as fast as I could just to rescue her. There are other BW characters that I really like but these three are the ones I remember the most.
  22. I disagree, I understand that form is very important but I don’t think that it is an auto win over experience. Malgus is a master duelist in a time when Jedi vs. Sith fights are common. Mace and Sidious are masters of form in a time when Jedi vs. Sith fights are uncommon. So I think that Malgus’s experience gives him an advantage that you not taking into account (at least against Mace). Now I know that Vaapad is a powerful form, but is it really so powerful that no other form can beat it?
  23. I find it strange that no one has pointed out that in a straight up lightsabre duel Mace Windu (a combat machine like Malgus) beat Darth Sideous. Now it can be argued that Mace only won because he used Vaapad a form that Sideous was unfamiliar with but, a counter argument is that Malgus has years of experience fighting Jedi (and to a lesser degree Sith) that would give him an equal advantage to Mace’s vaapad form. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Malgus would win I’m just saying that he could win just like Mace did. Now as for the question of who is more powerful? I don’t see any argument that can be made. Malgus is a combat monster but that is all he is. Sideous’s power and knowledge of the force and his political/ military power are far greater than Malgus’s. Sideous is clearly more powerful. On a side note; for just a good butt kicking fight Darth Malgus vs. Mace Windu. I can see the fight going either way but, regardless of who wins it would be a great duel.
  24. I agree, but as we have seen in The Emperor Vs. Mace all that power isn’t any good when the guy with the lightsabre doesn’t give you a chance to use it.
  25. Or you could say that Satele solo Malgus because Jace is only a companion.
