Like blasters? Obie Wan always refered to blasters as being uncivilized.

Yet he used one to kill General Grievous.

A Jedi's life is about sacrifice and honor. If he truly felt that blasters were not a noble, or honorable choice of weapon, he should have made do without.

Here's a KOTOR III plot I thought of due to Metadigital's thread "Deus ex Machina: the Will of The Force ..., Does The Force have a will?". In response, WinterSun postulated that the force has a "will" that tends to keep a balance between LS and DS users. I took those ideas, threw in a dash of mechanics and a dash of the KOTOR II plot to arrive at the following. Let me know what you think.

 

************* THE WILL OF THE FORCE********************

Both Jedi and Sith masters have long understood that the Force seems to have its own independent will. This "will" promotes a balance between LS and DS Force users in the galaxy. Whenever either side achieves greater numbers and strength as compared to the other, there is a reaction in the Force that weakens the stonger side and strengthens the weaker side until balance is restored. Neither Sith nor Jedi fully understand how this happens, but both recognize this balancing power that seems inherent in the Force.

 

Legend has it that an ancient tomb known as The Will of the Force contains secret knowledge explaining how the Force maintains the LS/DS balance. The tomb, if it ever existed, disappeared millenia ago somewhere outside the galaxy.

 

Unknown to the Jedi Order, now reestablishing itself following the destruction of Malachor V, a group of Sith has found the The Will of the Force tomb in a world outside the galaxy once inhabited by the True Sith. The new Sith are using knowledge from this tomb in a nearly completed plan that threatens to finally eliminate all Jedi from the galaxy.

 

The Will of the Force tomb reveals that the Force, although generally seen as one thing, is actually a neutral pool made up of light and dark components. Force users derive power from the Force by separating individual Force components from the pool. A purified component carries a LS or DS charge, much like a positive or negative electrical charge, because of the LS or DS imbalance between the purified component and the neutral Force pool. The LS or DS charge fuels the power responsible for the powers of Force Users.

 

According to the tomb, the concentration of the Force can vary at different locations in the universe due to various factors. One such factor involves the activity of Force users in an area. Under normal circumstances Force users have a negligible impact on the Force pool. However in situations where the relative strength of LS and DS users becomes imbalanced, there is a corresponding imbalance in the components of the Force pool that limits availability of the overused Force component, resulting in Force powers of diminished strength for users of that Force component. An high severity imbalance could virtualy eliminate all Force powers of affected Force users.

 

The Will of the Force tomb has been hidden for millenia because misuse of its knowledge in ancient times corrupted nearly an entire galaxy and became a threat to many other galaxies. Using knowledge from the tomb, the True Sith designed an army of ciphers whose exact nature, machines or androids, is currently unknown. The cipher army was capable of stripping all LS Force components from the Force pool, rendering LS Force users defenseless.

 

The new Sith have learned where to find True Sith blueprints for producing the LS Force ciphers. They must be stopped.
