Satele Shan vs Darth Zannah

MARTIAL ARTS
Darth Bane, Dark Lord of the Sith, had a surprisingly narrow view on martial arts combat. Outside of Form seven, Juyo, Bane believed the Sith Order should only ever use two fighting styles: Form three, Soresu and Form five Djem So. Realizing Zannah wasn't even close to physically capable of mastering Djem So, Bane instructed his apprentice almost exclusively in the use of Soresu. To put it in the words of the Inquisitor, Darth Zannah favors Form three to ridiculous extremes. She may have an almost impenetrable defense, but she is at a major disadvantage on the offense, to the point of borderline incompetence. That being said, her defense was truly impressive, protecting her from Darth Bane's brutal onslaught and several Jedi at once. Zannah is basicly the direct opposite of fellow Soresu master Obi-wan Kenobi: Whereas Kenobi bolsters his considerable defense with a capable offense and a incredible amount of tactical genius, Darth Zannah's offense amounts to "wait for your opponent to tire and then strike". However, where Kenobi has the occasional defensive lapse, Darth Zannah's defense is complete: She has defeated skilled Ataru masters, held her own against her fearsome Master several times and took part in a battle against five Jedi at once, alongside Bane. Zannah also had some skill with unarmed combat and (although it's mostly irelivant) ambushes and surprise attacks. Darth Zannah may have nothing but a shield and patience, but it's one heck of a shield.

While watching other Versus series with Darth Zannah, I have noticed a major trend: Zannah almost always loses the martial arts edge, for the simple reason she has no real skill or tactic beyond stalling for time. Generally I would agree with such reasoning, but here I must disagree. Although I would say Satele Shan is the better martial artist, I don't think she outclasses Zannah by a high enough degree she won't be able to hold her off. This turns it, unsurprisingly, into a waiting game, with Shan expending energy while trying to breach Zannah's defense, with the Dark Lord trying her best to find her own way to victory. The question of who would secede first is a tough one, and one that is decided by physical endurance not swordplay: Zannah may be able to stall the Grand master, but the Grand master will be able to pressure the Sith lord just as effectively. In the end, this martial contest is an undecided matter, with neither warrior truly being able to claim themselves capable of out dueling there opponent. Thus, I declare Satele Shan and Darth Zannah equals with the blade and in terms of martial arts.

FORCE POWERS
Born with a raw, primal connection with the Force, Darth Zannah demonstrated an incredible amount of natural, brutalistic power with telekinesis from an early age. Although In A normal combat situation Zannah had no outstanding ability with the power, when extremely pressed, she could display such shows of force such as disintegrating limbs and breaking through Jedi's Force shields, snapping there necks. However, by fare and away her greatest strength was with archaic Sith magic. She could both conceal herself and erect a false Light side aura, and when powered by a Dark Side nexus Zannah could summon Dark Side tendrils of reality destroying power. However, her most lethal and combat effective power was with Sith spells of fear. A dangerous ability to say the least, Zannah could mentally pray on her opponents deepest fears and weaknesses, distracting them and in extreme cases driving them insane. However, beings powerful enough in the Force, lacking deep fears or with enough will power could fight through these effects, at least to some degree.

Even at her emotional highest, Darth Zannah's skill and magnitude with telekinesis is still below that of Satele Shan's, and the dark ladies average skill with this power is even further dwarfed. Unusually for a Sith lord, Zannah has no skill with Force Lightning, limiting the effectiveness of Shan's energy absorption. All of there other respective skills cancel out, leaving us with a signal question: Can Zannah subdue Shan effectively with spells of Sith madness? Well, let me put it like this: Zannah can take Shan down, but not effectively. Everyone has some sort of fear or weakness that could eventually be exploited, but for a lot of them, Zannah would have to work and concentrate hard, not something she could do in a pitched battle. And as a peaceful Jedi Grandmaster who has come to terms with her past, present and future, I believe Shan to be such a person. Zannah could eventually break the Jedi, but the time and effort she would have to put into it would actually weaken the Sith much more than it would the Jedi. This leaves nothing but a contest between Shan's overwhelming strength in telekinesis and Zannah's...ducking ability. I give Grandmaster Satele Shan the edge in Force powers.

PHYSICAL SKILLS
As previously mentioned, Darth Zannah was of slim enough build that Darth Bane only briefly entertained the idea of teaching her the kinetically strong Djem So form. Zannah partially made up for this somewhat lax physical strength (which has been reinforced several times) by being very swift and acrobatic, able to dodge most attacks. This did, however, have it's limits, and her lacking physical strength remained a problem for her. Despite being a Dark lord of the Sith, Darth Zannah displayed little to no Dark Side degradation, her beauty being noted on several occasions, although it is possible she was merely masking her true nature, in the same vane as Darth Zash.

Although Satele Shan may not have a noted physique or any outstanding physical achievements, at least she is not attributed with a sub par constitution and weakness with power blows. Although these two are practically identical in terms of acrobatics and swiftness, Satele Shan is bringing much more strength and endurance to the game here, giving her the edge in physical skills.

WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
On the surface, Darth Zannah's weapon appeared to be little more than a standard red bladed Saber Staff, with no weaknesses or benefits. However, looking closer, it did in fact contain several edges over more standard weapons. Its blades were slightly shorter then the norm, to accommodate Zannah's defensive fighting style, while it's power source (The Bane's heart crystal) would shock anyone but Darth Zannah if they tried to wield the weapon. Aside from these however, it really was a standard Saber Staff.

A battle between two Saberstaff wielders...would like kind of silly if I am completely honest, but that's not the point. Darth Zannah's Saberstaff has several advantages over Satele Shan's comparatively standard armament, although not really enough that it would be decisive. I suppose Zannah's weapon couldn't be stolen and wielded by Shan, but that scenario is more than unlikely. Zannah gets the edge, although just barely, and don't expect it to come up in the verdict.

THE VERDICT
Unlike most versus matchups, this battle will be decided by a combination of all four edges (well, three edges anyways) instead of a single area of expertise. First, we have martial arts where, as I have said before, neither woman can really claim to be able to overcome the other with bladework alone: a duel between these two would begin and end with Shan charging forwards and working hard to keep up the pressure, with Zannah falling back and working hard to defend herself. This, again, turns the battle into a countdown to death, the victor decided by who can take and dish out more punishment. And that person, unsurprisingly, is Shan, a much tougher fighter and more skilled at unarmed combat. However, this is not enough to secure the Jedi a victory, as we also have the supernatural to consider: Darth Zannah is one of the absolute best masters of Sith sorcery, very comparable to the likes of Naga Sadow. However, a good majority of these powers are not usable in a one on one sense, even her spells of Sith madness taking a good deal of effort on her part, which leaves Zannah at a disadvantage, forced to rely on less arcane abilities witch she was much less skilled with. In contrast, Shan is almost the exact opposite: although she has a wide variety of skills, both mundane and unusual, her greatest skill remains with simple telekinesis and Force blasts, powers she can easily and effectively use smack dab in middle of even the most heated duel. This is not to say, by any means, that this is an easy or even clear cut victory for the Jedi, far fAR from it. It is entirely possible that Zannah would outlast the Grand master with her energy conservative fighting style, leaving the Jedi open to her Sith spells, allowing Zannah to first drive Shan insane and then outright kill her. However, to me at least, the more likely scenario (albeit by a very slim margin) is that Shan would keep Zannah tp pressured to use these powers, until the Jedi finds an opening to use either her blade or telekinesis to strike down the flagging Sith. Thus, since you can't end a versus video in a tie, as I have discovered, I declare Satele Shan the winner, twice in a row.

Satele Shan vs Darth Talon

 
MARTIAL ARTS
The title of Emperors hand, no matter the century, is reserved for the absolute best warriors and operatives, the title marking them as some of the best of there Order. Darth Talon was no exception. Growing up in the rigorous life style of a Sith upbringing, Darth Talon learned at an early age that to survive in the One Sith she would have to be ruthless, powerful and loyal to Darth Krayt above all else. As such, her skill in combat was almost unparalleled among her fellow Sith, with only Darth Nihl truly being her equal. Described as a master of Lightsaber Form four, Ataru, Talon was a extremely flexible and acrobatic warrior, dodging about the battlefield with ease. She was also quite fast, capable of changing Force attacks into her bladework and skilled in unarmed combat. On the subject of fighting forms, Talon almost always wielded her blade with one hand and had a good deal of skill with quick, accurate jabs, suggesting at least some practice of Form two, Makashi. However, both Forms four and two share weaknesses in blast deflection and against multiple opponents, weaknesses that Talon did not have, which suggests practice of another Form or possibly Just Talon compensating for her chosen Forms weaknesses. Talon has stalemated Wolf Sazen and Shado Vao at the same time, stormed a Sith temple alongside Darth's Krayt and Nihl, as well as disarming and eventually killing the high level Imperial Knight Elke Vetter. Further cementing her position as one of the best martial artists of her day, Talon dueled the extremely skilled and powerful Cade Skywalker on at least two occasions. Although she has never defeated the Jedi, she did at first force Cade to resort to augmenting himself with the Dark side and overpower her directly. However, in there final duel Cade once again proved his own skill, outpacing and impaling the Dark lady before there battle could truly begin.

Currently, the unrivaled bearer of the title "lady of war" is Jedi master Shaak Ti, her flowing grace remaining unmatched. However, she actually has some pretty big competition here, in the form of Jedi Grad master Satele Shan. Trained by three separate Jedi masters, including a renowned Battle master, Shan became extremely skilled with both standard Lightsabers and Saber-staffs. The only Jedi to survive the first battle of the Great Galactic War, Shan fought on the front-lines throughout the war, constantly proving herself to be one of the best the Jedi Order had to offer. In combat, Shan relied almost entirely on acrobatics, dodging and outmaneuvering her opponents before they had a chance to fight back. Needless to say, Form four is generally believed to be Shan's weapon of choice. Shan was also quite skilled in blast deflection, fighting multiple enemies at once (cutting down seven Sith warriors in one go on Alderaan) and changing in Force attacks into her combat sequences. Although Shan has demonstrated defensive lapses before, these were always against Darth Malgus, who was for all intense and purposes the best Lightsaber duelist the Sith Empire had to offer at the time. Against lesser opposition, even Dark Council members like Darth Mekhis, her defense served much better, indicating it took a top tier to break it. Even other highly regarded warriors such as the infamous Darth Baras have proven unable to break her. That being said, Shan remains a offensive duelist, charging into battle and taking down her enemies before they have a chance to strike back. Ironically, considering how many times she has been pitted against him in Versus videos, Shan is most comparable with Grand master Yoda, a highly acrobatic warrior who relies on quick movement to defeat her enemies.

On the surface, these two are very comparable martial artists. They both fight in very fast paced and acrobatic styles, with a good deal of skill in unarmed combat and changing in Force attacks. However, upon further examination a couple stark differences appear between the two. Satele Shan fought in a relatively controlled and graceful style and, due to the era she lived in, had a greater skill against multiple opponents, cutting down many Sith warriors in seconds. On the other hand, Darth Talon's style is typified by bloodthirsty rage and aggression, combined with preciseness and finess, something that would serve her well against Shan's relatively weak defense. So in the end who is the better martial artist? Well, although Shan has a good deal of skill and power, as well as much more combat experience, Talon has displayed just as much skill in the dueling arena, and her fighting style is also, on a technical level at least, tailored to beat Shan's. If this battle was a pure martial conflict, these two would go head to head, both of them being highly offensive duelists. However, Talon is the more aggressive of the two and would drive the Grand master back, until an opening showed up in Shan's defense that she could exploit. Thus, I give the martial arts advantage to Darth Talon

FORCE POWERS
I will admit that when I started research on this battle, I though Talon was going to be a Darth Maul carbon copy: Dedicated to martial arts above all else, with little to no ability true with the Force. However, this has turned out to very much so not be the case. First off, she has no problem with using the Force, often working grand displays of telekinesis into her combat style. Whats more, she also had a good deal of practical knowledge and skill with Sith Lightning, using it to out right kill people before, although I should point out the individual in question was already heavily wounded. Talon even had some skill with more arcane abilities, displaying some skill with Force concealment and telepathically ripping desired information out of her targets mind. Although she is no Force using powerhouse, Talon has managed to achieve a greater skill with the Force than most comparatively unrefined Sith warriors.

A warrior at heart, Satele Shan was principally a field commander and martial artist. However, anyone who would like to think this meant her Force powers were anything less than overwhelming would be rudely surprised. The descendit of powerful Jedi Bastila Shan Revan, Satele Shan had a nigh incredible amount of strength in the Force. She could protect herself from the vacuum of space with a Force shield, she mastered Tutaminis to the point she could bloke Lightsaber blades, she has some skill with foresight and it has been theorized she had natural potency with Battle meditation. Her greatest power however, by a wide margin, was her unbridled power with telekinesis. Although later in life she used it to easily destroy Hexes, while just a Jedi knight she felled three Sith warriors at once, dropped a tree on Malgus half way through there duel and practically blew up a mountain (Beat THAT, Yoda).

The edge here is pretty obvious, so I'll hurry through this part. First and foremost, Shan's ability with telekinesis completely outclasses Cade Skywalkers ability with such, someone who has constantly ragdolled Talon with this ability. Whats more, Talon's concealment won't do any good in a straight up battle, and her telepathic skills are matched (if not outright dwarfed) by Shan's own. And finally, Darth Talon's Force lightning won't be anything more than a distraction here, as Shan has more than enough skill with Tutaminis to absorb the attack. Add in Shan's own arcane abilities with meditation and Force shields, and this category becomes what is known as "overkill".

PHYSICAL SKILLS
Darth Talon was a young female Twi'lek, remarkably achieving the rank of Emperors hand at a young age. A rare Lethan Twi'lek, Talon's skin was bright red and covered in black tattoos. Talon had a strong preference for acrobatic attacks, unarmed combat and physical strikes and had a strong enough constitution she survived being impaled in the abdomen with a Lightsaber, although her recovery time was considerable. As a Twi'lek, however, Talon's head was adorned with twin brain tails called "Lekku" that not only made her head a larger target but also caused extreme pain when damaged.

Although her in-game avatar does not indicate as such, Satele Shan was a human female roughly in her sixties. When she was younger, Shan had a strong preference for acrobatics and physical, unarmed fighting. However, unlike other martial artists such as Qui-gon Jinn, Shan's physical state never really deteriorated to a point where she was incapable of keeping pace with younger warriors, and even in her advancing age Shan continued to practice a acrobatic fighting style and unarmed combat. Shan also had an extremely strong constitution, soldering through Darth Malgus's brutal assaults on multiple occasions.

Most of the time, species such as Zabraks and Weequay automatically get the physical edge, due to there inherent advantages. The exact opposite holds true for the Twi'leks: there Lekku are obvious targets and are even more susceptible to damage than most body parts. Shan might be a couple decades older than Talon, but she remains in just as good physical shape, in terms of speed and strength, as her competition. This gives Shan the edge, as she does not share Talon's head tail weakness.

WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
As with all members of the One Sith, Darth Talon built her Lightsaber's hilt out of Yorik coral. This added a deeper connection between Talon, her weapon and the living Force, although there are no tangible benefits from this union. Her weapons hilt was slightly longer than the norm and her blade was most likely powered by a synthetic Sith crystal. All in all, her Lightsaber had no inherent advantages or disadvantages beyond her familiarity with her own handwork.

Satele Shan has the impressive achievement of going threw more Lightsbaer's than even Anakin Skywalker, although this is not something you should boast about. Over the course of her carer, Shan built at least three separate blue bladed saber staffs, all of which were built with identical designs of aesthetically ornamental, but technically standard. Shan also has a good degree of skill with more standard weapons, her Saber staff being capable of being wielded as a normal Lightsaber and Shan herself temporarily using a single blade of standard make.

Both Shan and Talon use weapons of standard design and since Talon has previously combated Saber staff wielders, removing the shock value of the weapon. This leaves us with a simple question: which is a better weapon: a double bladed saber or a single bladed weapon. On the one hand, a Saber staff has twice as many blades and thus twice as many options, as well as a unique skill set. On the other, they also somewhat restrict there users movements, and there elongated hilts make bigger targets that even expert staff wielders such as Maul and Shan had problems defending. In the end, it's like comparing apples to oranges: both weapons have there own unique advantages and disadvantages, and although the major tool behind Saber staffs is the shock value, they are still perfectly serviceable weapon without it. Thus, for know, I will give the edge to Shan, as her weapon can be wielded as both a staff and normal Lightsaber.

THE VERDICT
Lets not waste any time and just jump right in and see who wins this. First of all, although Talon's head tails are an obvious point of weakness, Darth Talon is more than likely capable of defending this point of vulnerability just as well as rest of her body. On the same note, Talon's experience against saber staffs and Shan's preference for not wielding it as a standard weapon pretty much removes the Jedi's advantage there. Next we have the closest and most controversial edge here: martial arts. I believe Darth Talon to be the ever so slightly better martial artist, although it would take a considerable amount of time and effort on Talon's part. If we take just the first three edges, Darth Talon emerges the battered and bruised winner. However, there is a fourth category, one that could very well be decisive. And yes, lets be honest here, Satele Shan is MUCH more powerful than Talon in this area, displaying a wider variety and a greater amount of magnitude. However, before we jump to conclusions, I would remind you that this does not necessarily secure Shan a victory. I know I harp on Yoda...A lot, but just bear with me here. There is no doubt that on the battlefield, Yoda is an almost unparalleled master of the Force, manipulating star-ships and wiping out armies with his mind (well, If you take the 2003 Clone wars as a proper depiction of the Jedi Order's powers). However, in a one on one sense, Yoda is much less accomplished. He was stalemated by Count Dooku (a lesser Force user by most accounts) could only move large objects or use his Force powers offensively with a great deal of strain and even when his opposition gains the high-ground he continues to attempt to breach the gap and reengage them with the blade. Weather it is a personal unwillingness, his Force valor taking to much of his energy or something else, Yoda seems to be largely incapable of bringing his great magnitude with the Force to bear in a one on one duel. The point, to put it simply, is being more powerful in the Force doesn't mean anything if you cant use it against single opposite. Yeah...this was just a unwarranted rant without purpose. Satele Shan has ZERO limitations in combat, being extremely skilled in changing in her Force attacks and using them against one enemy. The moment Talon starts gaining ground, Shan will fell on a tree in the middle of the battleground. Or throw her into a cliff. Or collapse a mountain on top of her. Etc, etc, etc. In the end, I fell relatively confident in declaring Satele Shan, grand master of the Jedi Order and lady of war, the winner.

Star Wars Legends scenario

SETUP
The year is 2016. With the new Disney movies premiering, Star Wars Legends and it's vast storylines have largely fallen by the wayside. However, Lucasfilm is not ready to let there massive Universe just die off. In this hypothetical scenario, they Hire someone, be it me or you, to direct another nine novel series, something of a sequel to Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi, to tie up as many loose ends as possible. What will you do? When would it be set? Who would feature? What would you clarify, and what would you leave ambiguous? Will it be a cohesive nine part story or three trilogies, or some other variation? I can only guess what you would do, but here is my answer.

Because Lucasfilm apparently lost there collective sanity, a certain 18 year old Jonathan to take charge of the Star Wars Legends finale, despite never doing anything to deserve it, but moving on. Realizing it was a fools errand to write all nine novels by himself, even if he was an professional novelist, he instead hires three other writers to actually bring the story to page: A veteran Star Wars author, a author who has never written for Star Wars before, and a author who has a undecided level of experience, but with one specific requirement: A preference for the Dark Side and Sith over the Jedi. With this diverse trio, he sets out to bring the Legends finale, now titled "Fall of the Sith", to a largely uncaring and apathetic audience. Oh well, at least I would enjoy it.

SHADES OF REVENGE (written by the Sith fan)
As the New Jedi Order is by far and away the most covered EU era with the richest history, it is decided that Fall of the Sith will take place 15 years after Crucible. Luke, Leia, Jaina, Ben and Allana all play major roles, although the ageing Han Solo passed away several years before the series begins. The first novel, however, primarily focuses on Vestara Khai, who is still traveling the Galaxy in search of Sith allies. The first novel is spent creating the setting, establishing various things such as the Galactic Alliances negotiations with the newly discovered Jerom species, Ben training Allana as his apprentice and the rise of the shadowy crime lord "Triclopse". The main storyline is on Khai arriving on Korriban eventually discovering and awakening Darth Kots, a infamous warlord from the New Sith wars, and his followers, the two Darksiders joining forces.

LONG LOST (written by the rookie)
The second novel switches to a full on focus on Ben Skywalker, now a Jedi master on the Council, and his apprentice Allana Solo as they lead a archaeological expedition to the ancient, poisoned world of Tython. There however, they encounter not only the many threats from the ruined planet itself, but also a team of Darth Kots followers, there to find ancient Jedi artifacts. By the end of the novel, the Sith have been defeated, the Jedi warned about there return under a mysterious Dark Lord, and Allana is granted the title of Jedi Knight.

MISSING ANGELS (written by the veteran)
Just guessing here, but this is the novel that truly steps things up. While Allana visits her aunt in the Empire, Ben joins his father and Leia in the negotiations with the Jeron, which are being actively sabotaged by the Triclopse. The Jedi barely manage to stop the outbreak of a full on war, only for the arrival of Vestara Khai to throw things into disarray again. The lady of the Sith claims the right to take part in the discussion, as a representative of a third party, the Sith. The temporary "cold war" boils over when the criminals return and Kots betrays Vestara and has his men mortally wound her. However, Leia has a vision that explains if Vestara dies now, so will Allana and the galaxy will fall into darkness. Sacrificing herself to heal Vestara, Leia goes on to the Force and her husband, while a remorseful Vestara joins Ben to track down Darth Kots.

ONCOMING STORMS (written by the rookie)
Taking a break after the last novel, this is a comparatively minor story. It depicts Allana visiting with Jaina  who, after coming under many assassination attempts, has began the creation of the Imperial Knights. The novel also shows Luke briefly stepping down from the role of Grandmaster to better pursue the hidden Sith. Eventually, the two Solo women finalize the Knights and discover that the many assassins were hired by a political rival from the forces of Triclopse. Meanwhile, Darth Kots meets with the shadowed Triclops, who reveals himself to be Force sensitive and joins the Sith as his new allie.

FALLEN ORDER (written by the veteran)
While the main characters (now including Jaina and Allana continue to search for the Sith and Triclops, the Jedi High Council, containing new and old characters, makes there own plans. Many different masters share the spotlight in this novel, discovering Darth Kots origins and defeating several groups of Sith and Criminals. Finally, the novels finale hits, with the Jedi storming there enemies stronghold on Korriban, forcing the Sith to flee and finally discovering Triclops identity, something they immediately inform Luke of: Ken, Palpatines grandson.

DYING QUEST (written by the Sith fan)
While the others continue there pursuit of the only two remaining Sith (Darth Kots and Triclops), Luke goes on his own quest to discover what happened to the former Jedi Prince. After disappearing from the Galaxy at large, Ken and his father jumped from planet to planet, until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, which claimed the life of Kens father. Angered at the Jedis failure to stop this, Ken had forsaken his real name and embraced his heritage, becoming extremely powerful and taking over the underworld, hiding in the shadows for decades. Returning to the others, the Jedi continue there pursuit, unsure of where the Sith where trying to go. Meanwhile, the Siths alliance falls apart, with Triclops killing Darth Kots after a lengthy duel. However, Kots spirit takes over the uncontrolled Darksider, using him to further his plans.

FORCE SLAYER (written by the veteran)
Lets get this out of the way: Luke dies in this series. As the main character for...Star Wars, his death simply can't be glossed over off screen. With that cleared up. The four Jedi finally figure out the Sith's objective: to achieve immortality by traveling to the Midichlorians homeworld and immersing himself in the Force. Despite the Jedis best efforts, a Darth Kots possessed Triclops makes it to the planet, disappearing into its depths. Luke orders the others to stay behind while he, after being given a amulet from Tython as a last gift from his son, sets off after him. After making his way through many traps and deceptions, Luke finally finds the rouge Sith lord. However, the Sith lords attempts to speak to Darth Sidious to gain his secret of immortality, instead kills him, while summoning a dark shadow presumed to be Palpatine. Uniting with the spirits of many dead Jedi, Luke battles the Shadow to a stalemate, before trapping him in the Netherworld, held there by his amulet. However, the effort was to much for the aged Master, who peacefully passes into the Force after a full life.

RELUCTANT QUEEN/ECHOES (written by the Sith fan/rookie)
But wait, theres more! The last two novels deviate somewhat from the other novels story: A year later, Allana is still haunted by her Uncles death, the cause of which remains largely unknown, with only the Amulet being returned after Darth Kots defeat. While meditating in her personal starship (while in possession of the Amulet) Allana accidentally falls into a deep trance, setting her ships Hyperspace on random. She wakes up and quickly realizes she has arrived far away from her first definition. In fact, she was in an entirely different Galaxy. There, she discovers the populace suppressed by a powerful Dark Side empire and King, who doubles his power after stealing Allana's amulet. After her attempts to return home fail, she joins the rebellion against the Dark Side King. Finally confronting him in one on one combat, the Force reviles a secret to the Skywalker desindit: the shadow Luke battled was not Palpatine, but the Dark Side itself. Realizing the implications, Allana almost sacrifices herself to destroy the amulet, the feedback killing the Dark Side King. Unsure of what her and her Uncles efforts had truly accomplished (the heavily damaged Dark Side would eventually lose all it's power and die off a century after the end of Legacy, finally fulfilling the Chosen One prophecy.) Allana accepts that she is now stuck in this new Galaxy, eventually (if reluctantly) accepting rulership of the Galaxies populace, fulfilling the "Jedi Queen" prophecy.

Yes, I know this is all kind of stupid and the last part was very biased. But what did you expect from me being placed in charge of a official Star Wars project?

Hero of Tython respect thread: Chapters 2/3

Greetings! I return to the SWTOR Jedi Knight, this time taking a look at his later career. Since he has much fewer confirmed Lightsaber duels after this point, I have combined chapters two, three and beyond into one thread. And yes, I know the above picture is a female, not the male Zabrak I have previously used. But it was a nice picture, so I wanted to use it somewhere :(

1. Lord Razik

I'm not going to pretend that this is a very impressive feat. Lord Razik is almost a faceless, with very little known about him, beyond his use of a Saberstaff and being killed by THOT on Balmorra.

2. Lord Scourge

One of THOT's greatest achievements, Lord Scourge had over 300 years of combat experience and acted as the Emperor's personal executioner, feared by even the Dark Council. Scourge was a truly great warrior, and a impressive name to have on your defeats list.

3. Lord Fulminiss

A powerful Sith sorcerer, Fulminiss created a planet destroying Dark Side plague by himself. Despite this impressive feat of Sith magic, it is not known how effectively Fulminiss would have wielded his saberstaff against anyone else.

4. Warren Sedoru

This fallen Dark Jedi has the dubious honor of being THOT's least impressive defeat. Even named Lords that have very little information on them at least aren't specifically mentioned as being old and slow.

5. Tol Braga

If Lord Scourge isn't THOT's most impressive defeat, then it's this guy. A former Jedi Council member, Tol Braga had a spotless track record and has been known to take part in three day long Lightsaber duels.

6. The Sith Emperor

Although the Sith Emperor easily curbstomped THOT on there first meeting, THOT returned the favor in there rematch, deflecting the Emperor's incredibly powerful Force attacks and out dueling the Dark Lord.

7. Revan/Malgus/others

Although his story mostly ends after the Emperors defeat, it is know THOT went on to take part in the battle of Ilum, the defeat of Darth Malgus and the various crises related to Revan, along with many others.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this extended look at The Hero Of Tython (THOT). Hope to see you again here soon, and this is Hondo Moonrazor signing off!
