"They're so busy with their big worries -- the little people slip through the cracks. And it's only going to get worse. That's not why I wanted to be a Jedi. Besides-- it's not just the Covenant that decides who lives and who dies. Jedi have to do it every day. Even if I get good at the rest of it -- I'll never be good at that."

And figures it would be the one time I didn't copy the thing to a word document, so of course I lose the whole post.

Without specifics, does it open up the next arc or is just an end?

I have to wonder if this covenant exists in the Legacy era, because if it does and and Cade knew or learns about it, he just might join them.

Something like a "Hidden Temple," perhaps?

Either one of Lucien's false "deaths" would have felt a better ending to me, more fitting, and Zayne would have technically continued to keep his hands clear of blood even if Lucien's first death would have been real. Becoming a Jedi survivalist just doesn't feel something that Lucien would do. Also, his redemption creates the usual problem with them: There are just too many of them. Overall in Lucien's case I don't feel that Lucien deserved or needed to survive - that is if we won't see him again in a major role. And two false deaths in one issue is a bit much.

- Lucien's exile planet: As I mentioned the Jedi there wearing Obi-Wan robes, and Lucien mentions the future after coming tribulations, it seems as if this might be an important core of the Jedi Order after Nihilus.

How can any of them survive? We can forget about Zayne for now; since he's got coverage, it's their continued existence that will REALLY fly in the face of the Exhile being the last one. Unless that was hubris all along.

It's the nature of EU that there is always another one. And having one or two groups of non-official Jedi plus some council masters survive Nihilus isn't nearly as bad as having hundreds of Jedi surviving Palpatine's purge and then coming back 100 years later to rule the show. In my opinion.

It's implied really heavily that Lucien is doing something fundamentally good with this Hidden Covenant (Temple?). He's doing a service to the Jedi and to the light side of the Force by ensuring the continued existence of the Jedi Order. Coming from this whole prophecy background, he knows as well as we that something's gonna happen (Mandalorian War, Revan's War, Nihilus' Purge) and that it can't be stopped (which it can't because we've already played the games ). So what he does is cheating destiny by circumventing it - hiding a Jedi Order backup for the future.

Unless that lava planet has anything to do with Malachor, which wouldn't cast the best light on his group's future. Just kidding.

I'd argue its probably more accurate to go the Exile is the "last true Jedi Knight" or something. There are those like Bastila and Revan still alive too, but Revan had left the Order to do his own thing and Bastila... who knows.
