I've always thought what the Vong did with Elegos's skeleton was pretty horrific.

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).

child-soldiers.

Correction: Brain-washed child soldiers who have the capability to become to perfect insurgents... along with the powers of a demi-god.

We're talking about evil on a grand scale, but what about individual?

C.S. Lewis pointed out in one of his books, that just because you have 20 people sitting in a bus each with a tooth ache (And let's say that tooth ache is 2 on a scale to 10) does not mean that there is 20X2 *pain* in that bus. In other words, it's not cumulative. Five people with tooth aches doesn't translate to a feeling of 'pain' that is five times worse all together, each set is self contained within the individual. What if someone else on the bus had a broken leg that was a 6 or 8 on the scale? Their agony would be far superior to the ones with a mere tooth ache. It's a matter of perspective.

That's why I still say Sith mind torture is the worst evil one can perpetuate in Star Wars. I don't think it's *ever* been shown that a *single* person ever recovered from it. We never see it. It's one of those hushed up atrocities no one talks about because everyone wants to forget it. That's far scarier to me than a giant laser vaping a planet.

The billions on Alderaan didn't recover from death, either.

The problem with ignoring the grand scale is that it's the only way to successfully perform any sort of evaluation. Sure, you can compare, one by one, those people vaporized versus a torture victim and conclude that yes, the torture victim died a worse death than each of them. But frankly, does that even mean anything? They're both dead, in the end. And the person who killed billions did a far better job of bringing entropy about than the torturer with their one victim.

The most evil act? Well I can't settle for one: Alderaan, Caamas, Carida, the Vong War (certainly the most destructive and full of evil acts that make no sense to us but makes perfect sense to the scarheads), Anakin killing the younglings, bombing Fondor after it surrendered, bombing Kashyyyk for no good reason.

Darth Malak bombing worlds into rubble left and right. No regard for human life. Takes the dead bodies of Jedi and uses them for fuel basically. I always thought he was pretty damn evil.

Lord Frey's treachery of Robb. Rot his carcass to the abyss, you hear me, the . . . Star Wars, eh? Well . . . the blood-copulatory Yevetha ring a bell, and whistling lizards could enslave your soul, and for the love of leeches, somebody kill Sansa already!

Rock-a-by baby, on the treetop,
Beaming with pride, the filth they hold,
But when the wind blows, my temper implodes,
High above a pit, filled with sharkticons,
Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

The Red Wedding was brutal, but to be fair, Robb had it coming. You can't promise to marry one girl and then go off and marry another without expecting some ramifications. And as much as I dislike Sansa, part of me expects her to do something pivotal before all is said and done.

Just a couple in no particular order:

The Embrace of Pain

Bevel Lemelisk's repeated "deaths"

Owen and Beru blasted to bare bone!

Yevetha genocidal purge of the Koornacht Cluster.

So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh?
Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide?
...
When even the creative teams refuse to make fuzzy Devaronians...it should be a clue, folks.
Thus endeth the lesson.
