Mayor_Adam_West posted:The problem is, Zayne was pretty much the worst in his jedi class. You're not gonna see super Force powers from him anytime soon. If that's what you want you may be reading the wrong series.
Mayor_Adam_West posted:I think I was unclear in my other post. I don't think Zayne will always be a weak jedi. That point you brought up about Zayne never really being givin a chance by the order was a good one, and he's no doubt shown he's got some skills. But don't think he'll be a powerhouse jedi(as you put it), bringing the dead back to life or consuming whole planets, which is what vong333 sounds like he wants out of him.

If it is a refelction of the games, then are we going to get different colors of lightsabers? What about the force powers? There kinda bland if you ask me. Heck, Legacy already has the bring back to life power, and the Swarm War and LOTF has the time travel thing, heck the first book of LOTF has Mara doing this force levitation, heat abosorption, air defelction thing for two hundred meters. Whats going on with this series? It just seams way to bland for me. Little action, I don't know.

The KOTOR comics are about different things.

Carnage04 posted:Indeed. I really really don't want that out of him. What I do want is a highly competent and effectual Jedi that still has his "Oh man" type moments.

I think the prophecy wouldn't have come true if the Padawan Massacre hadn't been committed, and it still won't come true now that they have been.

Tanith_Shire posted:I think the connection between the Padawans and the "Destroyer of Worlds" the Covenant saw was Zayne's rescue of Squint, who I believe will be Darth Malak. Consider that Q'Anilia first faints as Alek is telling Zayne the slightly ominous line about entering the dark to save the light. Then there is his red suit.

I don't want him to become a Sith, I just think it would be a better story if he did... well, if he became Darth Nihilus, anyway. Though Zayne could fly off into a million different sunsets to have quarter-arkanian babies (or whatever) with Jarael whilst Alek* became Darth Nihilus just as easily... * Who is undoubtedly someone we know, be it Malak, Sion or Nihilus.
