Charles posted:I remind you that the Sith under Revan also committed the massacre of Carth's home planet. True, Malak did that one but it was under Revan's command. Next, I point out that Darth Revan's Empire resulted directly in Darth Malak's Empire. Which, I point out was responsible for the massacre of the ecumenopolis of Taris (a causalty rating in the trillions almost undoubtedly). Probably the worst atrocity until Humbardine.
Charles posted:As for Revan's motivations, the Holocron of Darth Bane also shows Kreia was lying. Revan cared only for power for its own sake, not protecting the galaxy as a Sith.

The war was close enough as is, not helping the SU would have been a disaster.
AdmiralNick22 posted:Fantastic issue. I am curious, however, about peoples interpetation of the final scence with Lucien. Are we supposed to feel hope that he has a secret Jedi enclave to weather the coming storm, or is it insidious that there is yet another Jedi faction out there? --Adm. Nick
