Sounds like a great issue! I'm really looking forward to it, but I'll have to wait a couple of weeks until my copy arrives from Things From Another World. There are no comic stores near me, so I usually get my issues when everyone else is finished discussing them. sad

A quick comment:

HedecGa It could have been Lucien, but he chose to leave that path. But that doesn't change the fact that Sion will come, albeit through a different vessel. It kind of made me think of Jacen in LOTF and the discussion that he saw the future and knew that if he didn't become a Sith, then Luke would.

That's not really what the text said. According to Jacen's visions, if he didn't kill Nelani, Luke Skywalker would DIE. It doesn't say that Luke would become a Sith. There's nothing in the text that says anything about Luke becoming a Sith if Jacen didn't become one.

Well, I couldn't remember the text exactly, and I think I was just vaguely recalling some discussion somewhere on the boards. I apologize.

"....betrayal and fury suffocated me - and sustained me. I saw a river leading to a dark world where I might embrace my destiny - as a Lord of Pain"
Lucien still might be Darth Sion. For example this quotation above shows too much similarity of Sion to be just a bunch of words. Mabye something terrible will happen on this moon, or Lucien won't cope with his situation, and finnaly travel to Malachor V (like in his vison of "dark place") and take the title of Darth Sion :P It still might happen, no matter of this periodic (or not) redemption

Oh, Lucien's definitely talking about becoming Sion there. Thing is, he decides to reject this path-- so someone else will still become Sion, but it won't be him.

Doesn't Sion's backstory state that he was one of Exar Kun's cronies?

Lucien's moon being Sulon and the big red hate ball in the sky being Sullust occured to me as well. Sulon is supposed to a human-settled bread-basket world whose familes (at least one of their families) retain latent force powers (at least by OT times). And it is way off the beaten track - perfect for hiding from somekinda oncoming dark times.

On the other hand, would the Sullustians (or SoroSuub, if they rule Sullust at this point) really sell their planet's lush, thriving, livable moon (only moon?) to a private investor, especially considering how poop-tastic their homeworld was? It might make more sense for Lucien to buy up some distant backwater moon orbitting a lifeless lava-world. Then again, maybe the Sullustians hate how grassy and not-a-cave and not-on-fire Sulon is. Shrug?

Or, like Lucien himself, it could just be it's own thing, not tied to something that went before it, I guess. But that makes speculating no fun.

Oh, and Hi! Two unrelated things: Kotor is neat, and when I went to register to post, I discovered I already had registered - in 1998. Being old is weird sometimes.

Given they're one of the most evil races in the galaxy, THE ENTIRE GALAXY.

Yeah...a Sith Marauder or some such, right? Been awhile since I played the game...

That information is from the CG, I don't think the game ever said much about Sion's origins.

I guess they're already making enough money selling their vehicles to care the slightest bit about a farmer's moon, and they don't strike me as being agricultural since they evolved on a hot lava ball. But Lucien's moon is really similar to Sulon, judging from the minor appearance. First off, the Jedi are farming. Secondly, the grass is in this olive colour and the landscape is very flat and no trees in sight. Then of course the planet in the sky appears to be Sullust.

Guess we'll not know in a long time, but it would be a great connection. tongue
