Imperialist

Edit: This is written in response to Jediphile's last post. Ah, yes, but the Jedi order did not train children at that time. That practice wasn't introduced till after the Ruusan Reformation, designed to mold children from the beginning of their lives to prevent anyone falling to the Dark side. This happened about 3000 years after the KOTOR series. It seems that before the Ruusan Reformation only young adults were taken into training. Now, Padawans on the other hand, could possibly still exist, as they would clearly not be taken to a Jedi conclave on the Sith threat. As for the Jedi party members forming rebuilding the Order, they would not have enough time to: a) Become strong enough in the Force to actually teach anything. b) Track down force-sensitive people and former Padawans all over the galaxy. This is, of course, presuming the events of KotOR III take place shortly after KotOR II. A year or so. That would make sense, as in order to track down Revan to help/destroy him (all depending on the alignment of the PC), one would have to arrive rather early in the conflict between Revan, and the Sith. If it takes place after 5 years or so, that would make Revan about 4 years old (presuming he was in his early thirties when the Mandalorian Wars began, which makes sense since the rank of Jedi Master would take some time to obtain. I also presumed the Mandalorian Wars to last about 5 years. 1 year after the end of that war Revan and Malak started the Jedi civil war, which probably had lasted a year or two at the beginning of KotOR I, and KotOR II takes place 5 years after that. Revan is turning old). The exile would be in his mid-thirties seeing as he . On another note, wouldn't Revan have to train a Padawan in order to achieve the rank of Master? A good idea for KotOR III (in my humble opinion) would be playing as this Padawan. Perhaps the training stopped when Revan went to the Mandalorian Wars, and the Padawan simply returned to his/her normal life. Perhaps Revan and this apprentice share a Master-Padawan force bond (...yes, I know ), thus giving this Padawan a reason for tracking down Revan.

Exactly. 1 more thing about your plot. It involves the Jedi Order, Other than that, and adding a dark side option to the whole 'redeem the Exile and Revan' plot, it's a good story.

Yep, kid is correct. Pedophilia was also common practice among the Romans. It is interesting, however, that homosexual relation between men of the same social rank was considered tabu, whilst it was seen as common to penetrate slave boys.

Ah, yes, I agree with you, Jediphile. One thing though. Kreia said Revan abandoned the Star Forge because the war he was headed to would not be fought through such (military) means. His plan of saving the Republic's infrastructure was in case of a worst-case scenario where the true Sith attacked the galaxy. Now for something completely different. The new villains (Sith) of KOTOR III should be very different from those of the previous games. Revan, Malak, , Nihilus and Sion were not taught by Sith, they simply uncovered their artifacts and remnants of their power, which corrupted them. I'd hate to see another character like Darth Nihilus. Reason: He was a product of the events that occurred on Malachor V, his ability to consume life and midichlorians came from that. He was unique, a creature created from the massive wound in the force. I say bring back the true half-breed Sith (with their red skin and tentacle beards), the lightsaber masters, the true "priests" of the Dark side.

Since I can find no statement by Lucasarts or Lucasfilm, and information on Wikipedia is submitted by readers, there is no proof that the lightside ending is canon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm having trouble finding that as well, but I believe it is LucasArts policy to choose the light side path in open-ended games such as KotOR.

As Kreia said, "And there is something that the Council may never understand. That perhaps Revan never fell. The difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I feel that Revan understood that difference, more than anyone knew.The galaxy would have fallen if Revan had not gone to war. Perhaps he became the dark lord out of necessity, to prevent a greater evil." If his motives were good all along, he never fell to the Dark side.

I updated my previous post. Saber, seeing as Revan never fell to the Dark side, he just assumed a role to save the galaxy, resisting ancient Sith powers like those on the Trayus Academy in the process, I doubt that the other Sith would be able to convert him. Anything they put up to manipulate him simply can't measure up against what he has endured prior to that. Oerwinde, check out these Wikipedia links: Darth Revan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darth_Revan the Jedi Exile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Exile Both these articles state Lucasfilm has proclaimed the canon of both games to be the light side ending. And Wikipedia seldom lies.

LucasArts has stated that the Light side male story is canonical. Ebon Hawk: Oh, right, sorry. I haven't played the game through as Light side, where this Ebon Hawk end movie appears. Playing as Dark side, you see a video where the Ebon Hawk is crushed by boulders before falling into the abyss. Since the Light side is canonical, the Ebon Hawk does survive. Revan: If he became the Dark Lord out of necessity it means that he never fell to the Dark side, his plan was always to save the galaxy. Thus no fall took place, he just became a character that would be needed to save it. If his intentions were good all along, he never was Dark side. He could do the same again, but since he has clear, good motives, a "fall" would just mean assuming a new role where he betrays the Sith, as was his plan all along.

Jediphile, 2 things. 1) (according to the official story). 2) According to the official story, Revan is Light side. He is also extremely powerful. People like him just don't fall to the Dark side, especially considering his past. Therefore your whole story is useless. Nice fiction though.

One problem with KotOR III would be the appearance of the exile. He (or she, although male is canonical) doesn't wear any masking items such as Revan's Robe and Mask. The Exile would need a concealing suit of some sort. I also think the Exile should have a silver lightsaber, as he does not belong to either side of the Force in the way other force sensitive do. I'd hate to see Revan or the Exile as playable characters, they are simply too established and powerful. Make them bosses or non-joinable NPCs. If they are included as bosses, they would take a Light path if the PC is Dark side, and vice versa, thus creating a conflict of interests. Or, if they are not bosses, make it so that you are able to choose their dialogue at times, thus steering them against one of the Force sides. The PC should not be a Jedi. While the idea of having an apprentice, or Padawan, certainly sounds fun, it wouldn't fit in with the current storyline. I suggest a new person, completely new to the Force. You were not a or Dark Lord of the Sith before the game. You are, instead, a person with an unusually strong connection to the Force. Your potential has to be found as well, by a Master. I suggest one of the Gray Jedi, perhaps one that left the Jedi years ago, before the Mandalorian War, but out of his/her own choice, not because of some silly exile. I also propose this Master to be male, seeing as Kreia, a female, was your Master of sorts in TSL. Perhaps even Jolee Bindo, seeing as the Light side version of KotOR I is considered canonical, which means he is alive and kicking. The PC also needs some sort of reason to find Revan and the Exile. Next, no Ebon Hawk. Bastila should be a joinable NPC, not that I like her, but because of her relationship with Revan (canonical) she may know where to find him, and finding Revan would be a big part of the game, at least in the earlier levels. HK-47 is a must, of course, as is T3-M4. Canderous and Carth would certainly be too busy to adventure. I think there should be many new characters, time to bring in some fresh blood. Also I hope LucasArts will break their tradition of making the light side path cannoniacal. If, as I stated earlier, Revan and the Exile are bosses, they are Light side if we are to follow the canonical story. Their adversary (the PC) would then be Dark side, making that choice canonical for once. As far as planets go, I think the player should start out not on a soon-to-be destroyed spaceship or a mining station , but rather on either a city-world like Coruscant or an alien world (an alien PC would also be interesting, at least a Zabrak would be, Iridonia is neat and Zabraks do have a strong mind form before). After having resolved the conflict there, the PC and his companions (2-3 at the time) fly to some more planets to find Bastila to find out where Revan was headed. Korriban should also be included, herself said the Sith would return there, and it holds great symbolical power to the Sith, plus it's on the edge of the known galaxy. After this, a new act starts as the heroes travel beyond the Outer Rim. This opens up a whole new astromap. The Sith Empire shouldn't be limited to one measly planet, it has had time to rebuild and conquer. The Sith are currently working on amassing a new army, and the worlds they own reflect that with starship factories, sprawling life and heavy army presence in general. One planet could perhaps be locked in a struggle between the Sith and the indigenous people, perhaps an alien race never seen before. I would also like it if this Sith Empire was in fact the remnants of Marka Ragnos' huge Empire, with real Sith (as in the alien race) and halfbreeds. The Sith Empire would need at least two Sith Lords. Perhaps one of them has found Tulak Hord's holocrons and learned exceptional skill with a lightsaber? These Sith Lords should be different from the ones in TSL, . A half-breed human-Sith Sith Lord (I know, confusing) would be extremely nice. Anyways, just my two cents. For now.
