  1. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!Tried every way mentioned here only this: click and walked away worked
  2. well maybe it's just an over understanding? I thought those droids weren't programmed weakly...it was just because the SW was too powerful and "not a typical Sith" all the time. For Quinn he had almost never failed, "I'm never at a lost in the heat of battle ", and that's why he was so confident to believe he could defeat the SW, especially when he was fully prepared for this. I mean maybe he thought he might fail, but at that moment he seemed to believed in his calculation.
  3. Er...just some confusion of mine lately...and some of my opinions about Quinn... I saw many people said that he is an egoist and all he really cares is his career after he "BETRAY" the warrior AGAIN on Iokath if the warrior sides with the Republic. And my confusion is: Is he still the warrior's subordinate after 6 years? (he claimed himself the warrior's loyal servant in the message...but clearly there is still a priority problem after his release from prison) And if he is no longer the warrior's subordinate at that time, could his behavior still be regarded as betrayal? At first when I played this scene, I just thought that he probably pledged his loyalty to Acina after she let him out of prison, and the empress's interests should come first. I never think he is an egoist because he chose to serve the warrior and became another 5 years captain instead of becoming an officer in a station. And he chose to disobey Minister Lorman's order and became a prisoner. And an egoist is more likely to escape and find somewhere no one knows him to hide after the empress died while the empire may want to punish him, and the warrior has the possibility to kill him. And some people said "Quinn surrenders to the warrior because he knows the warrior will find him. " The warrior has a war to win! What threat can a major bring, compared to other powerful enemies? I think the warrior is not likely to waste anyone or anytime to hunt him down, and his surrender is more like an act of keeping commitment and feeling guilty. After Acina died, the warrior becomes his priority again, and he needs to keep his promise to be the warrior's servant, at least he needs to try to atone (and I find he really doesn't willing to face his death at that time, so it's nicer to kill him the first time he betrayed the warrior), which leads to my second question: the Empire and the warrior/an individual he is loyal to, which is more important to him? From his way of saying "I have no aspiration for personal glory--just glory for the Empire, and now for you. "But his actual actions make me think his priority level likes: Baras>emperor/empress>the warrior>empire>himself. Even the warrior chooses the Republic, he will still come back. I admit that he cares about the Empire's interests on some occasions not involving Sith, but he also makes bad choices (harm the empire choices) when the Sith interests conflict with the empire's. Some people said "he just sides with the winner." I 'll just say that everything becomes weird after a Sith Warrior sides with the Republic, which seems nearly impossible, unless he/she wants Acina die (Sith infighting again lol). Quinn may never see that coming (especially after Acina and warrior had a "nice adventure" on DK ). So I think it's not about who the winner is, but his contradictory sense of duty and guilt. In conclusion, I think it's hard to judge him simply by "good" or "evil", and I'd like to say he is the representative of those who still have morality and humanity in the Empire. Quinn has a keen sense of military strategy and shall be a valuable asset to the Empire, but his obedience may not make him a progressive force to promote the improvement of the Empire. And his lack of foresight on the outcomes and impacts becomes his great weakness and leads to his bad career move, makes him entangled between two powerful Sith twice (and may finally lead to his death). He is really a complex person
