This isn't the Confederacy vs. an Unarmed Republic. The Republic has fleets and so on. Before the Republic was even invaded, the Mandalorians had secured territory larger that 'dwarved' Hutt Space, according to the NEC. They held worlds around the Outer and Mid Rim, such as Shogun, Kerest, Togoria, Mandalore, Concord Dawn, Malachor, Cathar, Althir etc. They weren't one species, but hundreds, all subsumed into the Mandalorians. And, even then, they were the Neo-Crusaders, who eliminated individuality in the Mandalorians and mass produced armour, ship designs and made whole hordes 'Mandalorian' at a time. I doubt the actual Mandalorians, whom followed the Resol'nare, the Crusaders who fought for Exar Kun, and evolved into the Protectors, were that numerous, though, at least comparable to LotF levels at most - a dozen million, at best. Either way - the Mandalorian Clans dominated a massive amount of territory before they even started their invasion, pushing from Onderon to Duro, from Mandalore on Taris through to Myrkr, and attacking Iridonia and further into the Inner Rim, and that's before we even get placements for other worlds, such as Eres II - they even attacked Bespin, all the way around the Rim. They would have won the war had Revan not intervened. Simple. There, that tangent is ended, and we can go back to the actual comic discussion.

DarthStymi posted:A question unrelated to the current discussion: how much time has passed for Zayne since issue #1? Three year journey for the readers, but how long was Zayne on the run?

Charlemagne19 posted:I don't mind that Zayne didn't stick with the order. It does fit his personality better, and it does seem he will be able to better help people in his own way now. Zayne is too good for the order at this point. Maybe this will mean he won't be hunted when the purge comes, but I'm not sure if I even want Zayne popping up post KotOR2. Either way I could probably deal with though. Personally, I encourage Dark Horse to ignore the whole business about the Exile being the Last Jedi. It's a plot that diminishes luke and I hope there's at least a couple of thousand Jedi Knights in hiding afterwards to explain why the KOTOR MMORPG has a huge number of them.
Grey1 posted:His private moon is orbiting a Mustafar-like planet that hangs in the sky, I'm not sure if that has to mean/foreshadow anything. However, in personal canon, we can still assume that he started down the dark path and that it dominates his destiny forever... I was one of the first to invest into this theory, so I'll defend it until JJM explicitly states that he never, ever thought about Lucien being similar to Sion until the fan speculation was there, and that he only did these final two Sion mentions as a tease or a nod or something. It's not hard to do, is it?
Grey1 posted:And if (conspiracy ahoy) it had anything to do with the Exile becoming female, Zayne no longer being able to become the Exile and Lucien becoming Sion for maximum story payoff in The Sith Lords making no sense anymore... ok, ok, I'll stop it right here...

It's not hard to do, is it? Apparently it isn't hard, and we can finally rest the point thanks to JJM's blog. Thanks for that, now my theory can rest in peace. Still, the blog seems to imply that Lucien=Sion wasn't totally out of the question originally as the creative team kept their story options open for as long as possible (like when Celeste was said to have a trap door that would have made her the Exile, if needed)... if that's true, I wonder at which point the story became definitive enough to rule out the Sion possibility. And if (conspiracy ahoy) it had anything to do with the Exile becoming female, Zayne no longer being able to become the Exile and Lucien becoming Sion for maximum story payoff in The Sith Lords making no sense anymore... ok, ok, I'll stop it right here...
