    I'm not talking about him. It makes little sense that all the other Dark Council members are gone.

    We even saw Vowrawn joined the meeting with Arcann, so it's more likely that they went into hiding and build up forces, left a young member like Acina as the so called "empress" then wait for chances to come.

    I wonder: If KOTOR II didn't introduce the "True Sith", what sort of Sith faction would TOR have?

    It's hard to say whether it would have made any difference, since Kreia specifically says "Revan found no Sith empire" and yet TOR had one anyway.

    I think a lot of the plot were recycled Vong story since originally, the Vong was set to be the "True Sith Empire" rather than some alien from another galaxy.

    Still, the SWTOR Sith Empire resemble the Galactic Empire with no in-story reason, that kinda sucks.

    So do you hope Zakuul would stay as the focus of the story? Or return to the Republic+Empire?

    TBH it's not a popular opinion, but I like having Zakuul as a focus. It's different. Jedi vs. Sith has been done and done again, and it's great, but it's fallen so far by the wayside in SWTOR to instead be Wannabe PT Republic vs. Wannabe OT Empire with a few Jedi and Sith thrown in that something like Zakuul is really welcome. And this is coming from someone who really likes the Republic Trooper storyline as well as the Imperial Agent storyline, so Rep vs. Imp doesn't necessarily bother me.

    When TOR shuts down, I'm holding out for an endgame cutscene where the scene turns blue, and then appears above a Holocron which then deactivates.Yoda's using it as a mythical storybook to share cautionary tales to younglings - among them, a young girl Togruta.
    "Did that all really happen, Master Yoda? Is it true?"

    I don;t dislike Zakuul, but I wish my character could get his/her identity back, no longer as the Outlander but as the Jedi/Sith/Agent he/she used to be.

    I don't see it happening. It would go against the entire KotFE/KotET premise, that your character must become something more than the person he/she was to defeat the Empire of Zakuul. Also...

    ...you will be the Emperor now.

    I don't even like the Emperor title at all.

    Other than Vitiate, none of the Sith use this title. Palpatine's Emperor got nothing to do with his Sith title, which is still Dark Lord of the Sith, and he called himself the Sith'ari.

    The Zakuul must have an Emperor... as long as the Eternal Fleet is around.

    Can the Alliance just blow up/send into a sun the fleet?

    Then we can highjack Garblaque the Hutts' luxury barge and just party it up. Because we have saved the galaxy enough

    I would love to save some characters, but the focus should come back to our original faction.

    Wut? Sure I want to let Vaylin live, but other than Arcann I don't think anyone is necessary to die, oh, maybe Koth.

    If I'm correct then Knights of the Fallen Empire was made when Disney was (and still is) in charge.
    Doesn't that make it canon? If so I'm not the biggest fan of it! KotFE is kind of silly in my opinion and is just a way to attract peoples attention.

    SWTOR and all of its expansions are legends. What do you mean by "KotFE is kind of silly in my opinion"?

    I just think that KotFE is kind of weird. Vitiate works for a thousand years making a Sith Empire then he just ditches it and goes to the Eternal Empire! RafSwi7

    Well, even his "pre-KotFE" persona never really cared for the Empire...

    [Jedi Knight storyline spoilers]
    ...he would have destroyed both the Empire and the Republic if he had not been stopped by the Hero of Tython.
    For Valkorion everything is the means to an end.

    Yeah as others have said it is completely legends. From what I have read MMO's are generally issued about ten year licenses and since this game takes place thousands of years in the past and in no way affects anything in the ST or Rebels (there have been references to the old republic so far in canon but the references have been so vague that you could still fit the legends stories into canon pretty easily) Disney is likely letting them play out their contract which will last about another five years I believe. After that the current game will likely end and if Disney wants to do another MMO it will likely be something for canon.
