DarthRevan211 posted:The Exile isn't just some "random" Jedi. If Sion was defeated by say, the Disciple, then yeah, I guess you could say that. But the Exile was a decorated Jedi General and a very important character in this era of Star Wars history.
cbagmjg posted:At first it was "Zayne can't be anybody from the games", now it's "Lucien can't be anybody from the games". It's a good bet one of them will. And if the last fan mail section in issue #31 says anything, it's that more people, than not, want to see connections to the games. There might be a few anti-gamers out there who make it seem like we don't, but as long as it fits well with the story, then we'll see more connections to come. And I bet more Revan and Malak.

I don't think that the main story arcs should be resolved in the games. The stories are separate from the games but related. Trying to turn Lucien into Darth Sion may strike people as interesting but it also undermines the character plot arc by fixing it in a point of time.

Trying to turn Lucien into Darth Sion may strike people as interesting but it also undermines the character plot arc by fixing it in a point of time. It's not undermining Lucien if he was intended to be Sion in the first place (as in when the series and his character was first drafted) it's just going all according to plan. It's not characters, that have been established in the comics, are just pulled out and JJM says "Okay, we'll make this guy so-and-so." And we don't even know if that path will be taken. Alek and the Revanchist were obviously intended to be Revan and Malak since they first appeared. I don't think that's any secret. If Lucien is Sion, it will probably be the same way. But for all we know, Lucien will just be Lucien. Either way works very well.
cbagmjg posted: I don't mind either way myself, but to say he can't or won't be Sion is ludicrous. And it's far from undermining. In fact, it's a great backstory. It would give Sion the kind of depth he needs. It would be stupid to make Haazen Sion, which I'm done going over those details.

Well theoretically ANYONE could be Sion whose male, human, and force sensitive at this point. Zayne could be Sion. But the point was that it would be dramatically unsatisfying.
