	I think the destruction of Alderaan would be on the list, but there are so many more choices and events explored in the EU that are far more evil than this. What do you think is the most evil thing ever done in Star Wars?

	The YV were the most evil. They killed for NO REASON. Saba's whole race, and Ithor and how they trashed and messed up trillions of lives. They should have been destroyed down to bacteria, not rewarded with a fabulous planet to live on. W.T.pants.? That is my reaction to that nonsense. -----signature----- If there's a bright center of the galaxy, you're on the planet it's farthest from: Earth Our own stunning bright center: http://astrosurf.com/sguisard/Pagim/GC.html Barnes and Noble: TFU hardcover.

What do you think is the most evil thing ever done in Star Wars? That depends on how you want to define evil's great. * General Grevious' destruction of Humbardine is probably the single greatest atrocity in terms of body count that has ever occurred in Star Wars. * Anakin killing Padme is the only case of spouse abuse in all of the EU. * Byss is probably the single greatest act of manslaughter ever committed by EU heroes. * Revelation has the only case of off-screen reported EU Rape with Boba Fett's wife (herself a bounty hunter) being reduced to a "woman in the fridge." * The Yuuzhan Vong War is undoubtedly the most devastating Star Wars War by far.

Uhhh, didn't they pretty much kill the entirety of the Yuuzhan Vong's leadership so it was mostly Shamed Ones? Wouldn't this be like rounding up all the German Citizens in Labor Camps and killing them?

	I consider Anakin's kid killing to be pretty bad, though I doubt it's the most evil thing anyone in Star Wars has ever done. -----signature----- I can't say rim.

	On a sheer evil scale, I'm not sure you can top Alderaan in my mind. Though enslaving half of the galaxy and launching the other half into suns for your gods have to rank up there. But that's several acts, rather than one single. -----signature----- We are well and truly forked

	Anakins killing of the younglings is viscerally the most awful thing I've seen in SW. Alderan is of course worse because it's the death of billions yet because we see none of them it doesn't hit the audience like the destruction of a planet should. But to move the story along we couldn't very well linger in that holocaust. I think even Leia's reaction to Anakin killing the younglings would have been more dramatic than seeing her home planet demolished. -----signature----- "Head of State, a Sith is just a Jedi who's gone off his meds."-Natasi Daala

	Whoops, sorry, I didn't know we couldn't say that anymore, being nothing really at all, but letters. But I get it. * Anakin killing Padme is the only case of spouse abuse in all of the EU. Am I missing something? When did Anakin kill Padme? He didn't kill her. Didn't even hurt her, much, well physically.... -----signature----- If there's a bright center of the galaxy, you're on the planet it's farthest from: Earth Our own stunning bright center: http://astrosurf.com/sguisard/Pagim/GC.html Barnes and Noble: TFU hardcover.

	Darth Zannah butchering Caleb then turning her cousin insane and leaving him to be killed by Jedi so she and bane could escape is probably the most evil act in my opinion.

	Not so much. If he'd choked her to death, she'd have died on the platform. There's no way that choking to death would let her have labor. You can complain about the logic of what actually happened all you want, but the truth is that had he choked her to death, she'd have been dead right then. Trachea collapse leads to death in very short order. The most evil act in all of SW? That probably has to go to Alderaan, or a similar class of destruction, if we're talking sheer effect of evil. The burning of Ithor, maybe? But for visceral evil, I definitely have to go with either Anakin's killing of the Younglings, or perhaps the murders that open Shatterpoint. - Keralys -----signature----- God made man.

	Not here, too! I think a profitable part of this discussion could be looking at the notion of what, precisely, we mean by evil. But perhaps that's another thread entirely. - Keralys -----signature----- God made man. Man rejected God. God became the man Jesus Christ, died and rose again to life, saving man from himself.

	rolls eyes Interestingly, I found that one of the most brutal moments to watch as well, even though it didn't show anything. They got a perfect reaction from that little boy. Heartrending, and literally made me feel ill, as it was no doubt intended to. That was the moment when the extent to which Anakin had fallen came through clearly for the first time (and possibly the only time in RotS). - Keralys -----signature----- God made man.
