I firmly believe he's reavowed his committment to fight the dark side, but that's not the same as addressing the flaws in his own character: arrogance, egotism and a lack of self-esteem he tends to hide through...arrogance and egotism. Neither of which I'm sure the comic shows he has addressed given he's moved from glorifying and seeking the approval of one parent to doing the exact same thing for the other, and he's still wandering around as the leader, the teacher, the guy with the answers. Claiming he's doing so with humility is...a claim; I didn't see anything to prove it was so. Basically I don't think that Lucien will cause trouble again, but I'm also not sure he's fundamentally a good guy now either?

Basically I don't think that Lucien will cause trouble again, but I'm also not sure he's fundamentally a good guy now either? I'm inclined to disagree, as it didn't appear to me that Lucien was either in a leadership position - for all we know the greeting he received from the others on the moon could have been 'hello, stranger' as opposed to 'welcome home, master' - that they're a polite bunch. Nor does his monologue suggest fighting the dark side is his aim - he's done that and it was a disaster. If anything he seems to have understood that being passionate about the defenbce of the Jedi led him to ruin, so he isn't doing that. Does that make a good guy? Well, when it takes the death of padawans, many Jedi, parents and the destruction of a home to create an epiphany, topped off with dark-side immersion, it has to be said, no. But he has stepped out of the delusions he had as leader of the Covenant. He did listen to Zayne, he did acknowledge what needed to be done - finally, accepting somebody's else's plan. This is all perception though, so people are going to see different things in it and I'm typing this as someone who has pretty much despised Lucien.
