Why does everyone need redeeming? "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate future" remember? Anakin was the exception, not the rule. And more to the point, most people are complete and utter bastards in real life who die thinking they were great. I don't see why everyone in SW should be different.


The thing is, though, that Celeste isn't going to be Sith evil by choice, but because of circumstances, and mystical corruption by outside forces. Her own personality wasn't exactly saintly, but her intent was good, even if she might've gone too far in her methods, if the Covenant asked that of her (though she didn't kill Zayne, but Zayne's just very likable that way). Some like Palpatine and Exar Kun love being evil, Anakin fell because of his flaws, but sometimes people can be redeemed (Luke's had some success over the years).

Mainly, I just hope she does get some personal redemption, as she wasn't evil-evil originally, but its the Talisman that's driving her evil. And the upcoming DT issue should shed some more light on her fall (as she's very close already to giving in to the Talisman, though given the circumstances, she can't really be blamed for it). And its not like she can just take the thing off, even when she's lucid, its kinda hard to yank the thing off anyway, and even then, when Celeste first got it, the Talisman was going for either Zayne or herself, so she partially sacrificed herself for Zayne's sake (not to mention it was still her mission, but I think she was protecting Zayne too). I hope that kind of good act doesn't lead to a horrible death. Well, it will probably still end messily, especially given the time period, but I just still hope for some personal redemption for Celeste herself.

More and more I get the feeling that Yoda was the only moron that didn't know Jedi could turn away. At least they whacked Jacen before he could turn wuss... And I really hope they don't mess with Krayt either. Rant over.

He may be the one who finally lets her rest in peace. Don't think he'll redeem her, though. That doesn't really seem like his thing.

Aside from having a Sith choker latched around her neck and the evil spirit of a long dead Sith trying to make her do Sithy things... is Celeste Morne even dark? I get the impression she's not really fully in control of herself anymore.

Without the Muur talisman I imagine she'd just be back to a Jedi walking a fine line... though leaning closer to the light than previously.

The comic clearly showed her to be a light sider, she spoke of fighting Sith and attacked Vader. It wasn't until Vader overwhelmed her that Karness offered her the choice of death, or let him take control. Either way, Vader was too much for her alone. The thought of Vader's rage controlling the talisman is where she left off...

My money is on this:
After and intense duel, Muur takes over and brings the house down to escape from Vader.

Think again.
