Lord_Hydronium posted:BobaMatt posted:It makes sense - and given Ben's earlier characterizations in the DNT, not inconsistent - that Ben's clinging to Jacen. Psychological complexities and nuances should not necessarily be left out of SW. That isn't the problem. He's like that in Betrayal too. The problem is that Ben's relationship to his parents as established in Betrayal was entirely missing from Bloodlines; not just that, but the Ben we got in Bloodlines was practically the complete opposite in that respect. Betrayal Ben, when he was in a bad situation, sought out his parent's advice and took it to heart. Bloodlines Ben thought to himself that he'd never talk to his father when he had a problem. Betrayal Ben has a close relationship, Bloodlines a distant and resentful one. And what's more, it's not even that Bloodlines treated it as if it was a personality change that had happened in the last couple days; Luke and Ben's thoughts tell us that it's always been like this. It's not an issue of character development; rather important aspects of the Betrayal character were completely overwritten.

MistrX posted:Well, if you believe Kyle, the powers themselves aren't inherently dark or light. It's just how you use them. That is, of course, just their justification in Jedi Academy for letting you pick the DS powers and still remain a good little Jedi. But still, would you really ever doubt Kyle?
