Halagad_Ventor posted: Right and wrong is important to talk about and define, but difficult, even impossible or nonsensical, to do in a way that is meaningful and not merely practical. Teshik's story was meant to be an example of this. Insight into that break down of meaning is arguably the source of Teshik's "insane" laughter. Take care, Abel
Havac posted:Teshik was, I believe, one of the genuinely competent GAs, along with Thrawn, Grant, and a few others. I think part of the point was that he was less calculating than Grant. He wasn't concerned with preserving his life -- it was a soldier's honor thing going on. He suddenly rediscovered life, and I think he was happy to go out on that note. I don't think it really bothered him. To bargain, to grovel, to scrabble for a life of imprisonment, constraint, idleness -- he'd rather have the release of death.
Charlemagne19 posted:Thanks Halagad. Our depiction is now thus... "Osvald Teshik was a reasonably amiable sort of fellow from the perspective of the Empire and not guilty of any excessive activities by the standards of the Empire. However, the New Republic was still able to dredge up plenty of evidence that they could him guilty of because the very nature of an Imperial trial is going to make Imperial orders illegal." Sort of like trying Alexander the great for "Unwarranted Aggression."

As a wise man once said, uncertainty is part of the character's design. Take care, Abel
