Eternal GMing, currently easing my current autsim 28ABY start campaign into the Otherspace Adventures, player availability has made it a bit of a pain however so I'm currently running a prequel (relative to the main game) game with the players that are available using the the Minos-Mestra adventure from the Rancor Pit. Sounds confusing but it's been a good time.

you know, I think more people need to realise that dooku was not a good man

his legacy is that of failure, his movement was crushed, his bloodline wiped out, his castle looted and his apprentice hates him
all he has was a bunch of separatist holdout retards who didn't understand that he was evil and can't seperate the separatist movement from him

>Pod Racing
I don't know if it can be adapted to D6, because i've never played that one, but i have my own D20 Chase System that i use for a lot of D20 games (Saga, E20, Starfinder, etc.) that can also be used for racing. Here's how i do Speederbike chases and Pod Racing and stuff..

>Determine the length of the track as a number of Chase Squares (A square about 30ftx30ft for the purposes of effects)
>As the race begins, everyone involved rolls Piloting. For every multiple of 5, they go 1 Chase Square forward. (So, a 19 goes 3 squares, a 21 goes 4 squares, a 3 goes no-where. etc.) Criticals go 1 space further than their roll (E.G. a player with +7 to their Piloting who rolls a critical goes 5 spaces, then an extra 1 for 6 spaces total.
>Initiative is deterimined by who was out front at the beginning of the round.
>You can use ranged attacks against anyone in the same square or 1 square in front or behind you.
>You can use Melee attacks against anyone in the same square.
>Whoever is in first at the beginning of the round rolls a straight 1d4 to determine what obstacles are in his square before he rolls piloting, on a 4 there is. Mark these down in these squares as other racers will hit these obstacles as well if they move through it.

>Example obstacles:
>Traffic Intersection: Make a check (DIF 15) or lose your next turn as you are completely shunted out of the chase and are forced to take a turn to recouperate
>Dangerous obstacle: Make a check (DIF 14), if failed, then they take damage and their turns movement is reduced by -1 this turn (To a minimum of 0)
>Henchmen Trick: All heroes travelling through the space are attacked by villains henchmen who are covering their boss. If they are hit, they take damage and and their speed is recuded by -1 (To a minimum of 0)
>Helpful boost: Make a check (DIF 15) On a success, increase the space they move by +1, and an additional +1 for every 5 points over 15 that they scored on the check.

Isn't Zsinj supposed to be his cousin or something? I seem to remember one book stating him being the current Duke of Serenno by Endor, through his father being the Son of Dooku's uncle or something like that.

Ackshually Dooku had a brother and a nephew in Legends, featured in Agent of the Empire - Hard Target in which a Serenno noble schemes to replace Dooku's brother as ruler of Serenno. Zsinj just took it over using either his vile jew sorcery or the Iron Fist.
Hard Target has some great spy movie vibes, though I remember Iron Eclipse being kind of ass.
imo Ostrander is much better at writing underworld or glowie kind of characters than Jedi or other good guys.

In D6 vehicles generally have two listed speeds. One its base speed and the second its max speed which defines how much distance it covers.
They can move at 4 speeds.
cautious: 1/2 base
cruise: base speed
high: 2x base speed
all out: max speed
The trade off between the higher speeds is that the player has to roll piloting against varying terrain difficulty values (easy terrain hard terrain etc) that increase in value by how fast of a speed you are going.
(Turns are 5secs so divide a vehicles kph by .72 to determine how many meters it moves a turn)
Likewise vehicles generally have a maneuver code you can add to the piloting skill which can also be used for things like getting around sharp turns or avoiding notable obstacles.
Failing a vehicle piloting roll has you consult a table of values which depending on the degree of failure can result in things like not moving the full value of your movement/speed or crashing your vehicle and taking damage

So in the case of running a podrace, what you are probably going to want to do is create a track with an explicit length. Then define things like terrain difficulty for the track at various parts and maybe some notable obstacles/hard turns that you would describe to the players, things like going through a cave or canyon or something.
The players primarily would be deciding what speed they are willing to risk going through these terrains and obstacles. And dependent on their speed and degree of success/failure you determine how much distance they covered, or alternatively, whether they exploded and died.
Initiative is determined by perception but in the case of choosing a winner when two players cross a finish line in one turn, I’d recommend determining who won by who got farther past the line rather than who happened to pass first by initiative.

It makes sense, but also keep in mind that the SW galaxy is so awash in milsurp that the Rebels were able to build a significant fleet out of it (wherever they weren't repurposing civilian ships or stealing military ones). Planetary defense forces exist and so do corporate security. Sure, vastly successful pirates could have a seppie Recusant...but they could just as easily have a couple of refit Dreadnoughts. You could make the argument that using seppie ships might draw a harder and/or faster response from the Empire due to the symbolism, but honestly once you start talking capital ships youre probably high on the shitlist for the local sector fleet regardless.

It actually makes me wonder about what the most common source of milsurp ships would be:

1. Ships made to be sold to a planetary defense force seems the easy pick for top slot. Until about 20 years ago, there was no vast galaxy-wide fleet to rely on, each planet was on their own. This means that theres a lot of demand, but when planets fall on hard economic times, big fancy ships with high operating costs make for a good, quick injection of cash and annual savings, enough so thay you might not do the hardest background check on the buyer. May be in danger of falling off thr top by the time the GCW comes around due to the Imperial Navy.
2. CIS milsurp. Was a galaxy-spanning organization that went bust nearly overnight and the Empire sent years hunting down the remnants. Makes sense that a LOT of captains and their minimal organic crew either pawned off their ships to go into hiding or were just easy prey for pirates with the fleet scattered. Only question is how hard the Empire go after it as a matter of principle.
3. Imperial milsurp. Despite only being 20 years old, the Navy has been developing and innovating new ships like crazy, which means that older or cheaper versions get exported. Easiest example is a starfighter, namingly the Mining Guild TIE, but I'm pretty sure there are other support ships that have been sold, licensed, or otherwise made available to those deemed sufficiently loyal.
4. Republic milsurp. I put this lowest because unlike CIS hardware, the Empire had control of virtually all the Republic hardware out there. Ironically, the symbolism of ships from the Republic is actually more damaging than ships from the CIS, and its not surprising that most of what we see of these ships in the years following RotS is them being torn apart for scrap. They said we know that the Empire wasn't able to get all of it; that's why the Alliance has Y-wings.
5. Archeotech. Just weird histotic shit lying around.

What else is there that I'm missing?

I think they were slowly phasing them out, but that's not a fast process. Its a moot point anyways: if the planet follows the will of the local Imperial governor, theres no need to disarm it with any alacrity. If not, it doesn't have a chance against the Imperial Navy.

Doesn't the Dreadnought need an absolutely ridiculously huge crew? Recusant could be run just fine with a skeleton crew, since the ship is controlled by its own droid-brain. Unfortunately the droid-brain likely has a personality of a homicidal maniac that will try to ram the ship at the nearest enemy while screaming "KILLFRENZY!" on loop on open comms, but you take the good with the bad.

To run at optimal performance, yes. But if you're a pirate, you probably dont give a shit because you're not looking to go toe-to-toe with anyone who can actually fight back. Having the shields at 20% of max and only half the batteries operational isn't a problem when you're shaking down a mom and pop refueling station who only have a lone patrol boat and a light of Z-95s for defense.

there were also lots of paramilitary-type gear built for sale to private parties during the old republic; lots of corporations had their own warships, armed freighters were extremely common, as were mercenaries with just about anything. Hell, random dudes owning starfighters was by no means uncommon. So I suppose similar to PDF stuff, but already out there in circulation well outside of government view.

Another possibility was various non-republic polities that had their own militaries joining the republic and selling off surplus in a post-war drawdown, or just selling off their old gear to fund the purchase of newer gear from republic suppliers.

I imagine it would be like the real world. The core Republic has the largest industrial base and produces most of the milsup in the galaxy. Outer rim shitholes and mid rim backwaters rely on that equipment, while some of the core+mid rim junior partners to the Republic (like Naboo) have enough local industry to have their own milsup. Like how western Europe has its own stuff while most other US allies just use old US stuff

go grab the old WEG Pirates and Privateers, it is absolutely chock full of the kind of patrol boats that are ubiquitous with PDFs
As for bigger stuff, CR-90s and DP-20s are extremely common at the small end, and Dreadnoughts are *the* PDF heavy ship.
There is kind of a shortage of preexisting stuff in the medium size range, though, but that's really just more fertile ground for homebrew

I cant think of any planets that recently joined that had their own unique kind of equipment save the Mon Cals and, well, we know where all THOSE ended up.

Naboo is a good one, but I didnt get the impression that Nubia and the other companies that made their ships made much more than the fighters and the queen's personal starship. I don't think they had much of a navy to speak of. Luxury of living in a stable part of the galaxy that bit them in the ass when the Trade Federation rolled up with a full-blown fleet.

This is factually true. Literally the whole point of Star Wars visually is "used future" or "shining past" derived from a recognisable historical style. Cyberpunk is innately futuristic in style, futuristic from a *modern* perspective, it's fundamentally incompatible. Now some massive cumgargler is going to step forward and say "Nar Shadaa" or "Coruscant Underworld", but neither of those is cyberpunk you delusional troons, it's grimy 70's neon red light district vibes. It's meant to imply something seedy and run down, not shiny and chrome.

And that's exactly what cyberpunk was based on, because there was functionally little difference in visions of the future from the '60s to the '90s. Only with the advent of rounder cars and the Silicon Valley boom did a smoother, sleeker, cleaner vision of the future come about. The "used future" look is definitively cyberpunk, because cyberpunk was conceived as part of the cassette future era.

Legion is a ton of fun, and is in highly active development. For example, we got a free narrative mode a few weeks ago. If you want to play around with painting, I also suggest taking a look at the /your dudes/ kits that recently came out.
>How is it
I suppose I'll compare it to 40k, as it is the big one.
Legion is a small-scale wargame with alternating activations. It is pretty quick to play due to several factors - universal keywords, movement templates and a unified roll to hit/wound. There are also almost no gotchas in this game, assuming you know the game fairly well.
>Balance
As of now, separatists and rebels are very strong. Republic, Empire and Shadow collective are weaker, but not unplayable.
>Compared to first edition
Imo, it is better. While the game is a little bit less complex in terms of tactics, this change came due to the elimination of unwinnable games due to extreme skew lists tailored towards specific objectives. Also, outside of bunker assault, you actually play on the whole board now. Bidding is also gone. The one thing 1.0 had over 2.6 is better objective variety - but this is also due to change, as they've already announced extra mission packs.

Anything in particular you'd like to ask about, Anon?

Basically, they are kits that let you build your own characters to lead your army. They generally come with a ton of extra bits, and let you choose the role of the character. Melee, shooting, different kinds of support, etc.
>Empire - imperial agent and officer
>Rebels - rebel agent and officer
>CIS - Super tactical droids
>Republic - jedi knight and master
Picrel is something the developers posted as examples of how you can build the Empire characters

Oh I actually read something about this a few weeks ago, it sounded like a fun hobbying project

Correct, every single soft plastic mini is/will be resculpted into hard plastic. The hard plastic minis from old legion will be repackaged with new cards. As of now, you can already get a few of these kits, like
>Clone infantry
>Stormtroopers
>Scout Troopers
>Rebel troopers

Damn, the rich keep getting richer. AMG never misses the mark on CIS releases.
It's a bit crazy to me from a balance perspective that Grievous (even the the infantry version) is now the best vehicle commander in the game even when compared to the like of Cody, Veers and even Marquand.
Though it makes sense lore-wise, he was a seasoned ground General even before getting shanghaied into joining the CIS, so it's fitting that he would be good at directing both infantry and vehicles.
It's just a bit frustrating that CIS gets the most versatile army, they feel like the only army that doesn't get restricted by their faction identity.

That's a nice source of inspiration.
I was planning to resculpt my Rebel Agent to give it a more feminine figure.
I also got the Imperial Officer/Agent box and was planning to kitbash/sculpt the officer into Ocho from Visions and make the agent some sort of Storm Commando.
I'll post the result when I get around doing it.
>Legion Point Changes
I really don't know what to expect to be honest.
People keep clamoring for Aqua nerfs, but I think just making the Heavy 5 points more expensive might be enough. I don't think CIS has really any underperforming unit that could use a buff
For Republic I think Clone Infantry heavies could use a small point cut, and Commandos/Delta could do with costing around 5pts less.
As a Rebel Player I think Sleeper Cell are now well costed, but the Landspeeder M-45 and Unhinged Droid will get hit with the nerfbat. I'm not sure how they could buff Rebel Commandos and Wookies. I can't see them make commandos even cheaper, it would be weird for commandos to cost less than Corps. I think for Wookies they'll try to give them a wookie-only upgrade to try and fix them.
Imps are where it gets tougher. I doubt they'll touch corps, they'll want to see how Imperial March and the Customs affect things. ISF have the same problem as Rebel Commandos, but they could get a 10-15pts cut without stepping on corps' toes. I doubt they'll reverse Range Trooper nerfs, but they should, at least until the new objectives are released. The Inquisitor will probably get a 10-20pts cut to match other Force user buffs last update
For Mercs, I think Cad Bane could use a 10pts cut and/or making the gauntlet free. Likewise, SC Maul could get a 10pts cut.
What I'm most curious about is if they'll show the Squadron Leader, Kraken and Rex upgrade cards. I hope other factions can get their own named characters as Heavies for units that could use more options.

The imp officer tunic is very close to IJA dress tunic, stiff turtleneck and all.
The cap is practically a copy of the NCO cap in your pic.

Lucas was not copying directly, though. The 'Imperial look' is various things from Victorian British to Imperial Germany to Imperial Japan all thrown together and coupled witha rather stark black/grey/white palette.

There's nothing Jap about the Imps. John Mollo, who designed the original Imperial officer uniforms said that Lucas wanted uniforms that looked "efficient, totalitarian, fascist." Mollo specifically said he was inspired by the German Uhlan cavalry uniforms from WWI (pic related, and source of the collars and front plastrons) mixed with the olive drab belted tunics of Nazi Germany.

Lucas didn't help things in the commentary for Empire Strikes Back by constantly referring to the Imperial uniforms as just "Nazi" despite them having more influence than JUST Nazi uniforms.

Yeah, I thought about keeping the torso and legs as is, for the arms I'm still weighing my options, but I'll probably go with Scout Trooper arms to go with the helmet unless it looks too weird.
I'll definitely replace his blaster with an E-11, even if an EC-17 could work. I'm not sure what kind of melee weapon option I should give him though.
The stun and riot batons don't feel suitable for an operative.
A vibrosword or vibroaxe would look a bit over the top but I don't hate it. Especially a BX droid-style vibroblade.
A force pike or an electrostaff feels like the coolest choice.

Agreed, but I still prefer something that looks a bit more lethal.
Tbh I'm also debating whether to have the Storm commando dual wield the gun and melee weapon or to magnetize the right arm with either options and keep his left hand empty. Or maybe put electrobinoculars in his left hand.
Dual-wielding would be easier to model, but using only one weapon would look more serious.

Arguably Bo-Katan's character was "ruined" by Disney, as the pre-buyout character was a dumb terrorist who only saw the horrors of her actions when they affected her directly (got her sister killed). Her last appearance was helping Obi-Wan escape Mandalore, everything after that is after Disney took over. Savage Oppress existed only in the Lucas-controlled Clone Wars, lived and died under George's direction.

What's with Threepio not being able to control his actions but at the same time being fully self-aware when his head was attached to a B1 body? Isn't his "brain", or CPU, supposed to be in his head? Why couldn't he control the B1 body? Why would he randomly say "DIE JEDI DOGS" and compulsively shoot at everyone? Do B1 droids have some kind of CPU or behavioral module in their bodies that takes over? Because B1 droid head that was attached to Threepio's body was fully aware of his function as a B1 droid and said that he couldn't move for shit, so his CPU was clearly in the B1 head and was fully in control of Threepio's body.

B1 Processors are in the backpack, not the head. But C-series Processors are in the head. So, it's a droid with 2 processors. 3P0 most likely only has a Basic processor due to him being unable to do things he's not programmed for. B1's also have a Basic Processor as a cost saving measure. So, being that 3P0's processor can't interact with any of the B1 systems and the B1 Processors are barely capable of interacting with the speach unit, it means that the B1 Processor just follows its orders, while 3P0's objects because, as he says "I'm programmed to educate, not destruction."

Sometimes people didn't care for the nuance of Sith vs Dark Jedi vs Unrelated Dark Side Cult. Sometimes they're also depicted as having access to lightsaber tech, which isn't supposed to be correct.
>The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance had them with crossguard sabers seven years before Kylo
>Empire At War: Forces of Corruption had Silri, a Nightsister hero for the Consortium who wielded a lightwhip
>Battlefront: Elite Squadron (at least the Nintendo DS port) had a Dathomir level where the protagonist fights several saber-equipped Nightsisters
It definitely seems like a video game thing to have witches with lightsabers. I think it might be the case that, in-setting, people often make the mistaken assumption that they must have Sith origins. In Elite Squadron the Jedi protagonist identifies them as Nightsisters, at which point his Force-deaf companion goes "a Sith witch?!"

Making Ventress a Nightsister is a shitty retcon that was done only to tie her to Maul's arc.
She was used as introduction to Dathomir, to introduce Savage Opress, which led to return of Maul. She was a tool to a plot that she was not necessary for.
Remember: Maul was not a Nightbrother before The Clone Wars came out and made his type of Zabrak to be Dathomiran kind. Before that, Qui-Gon immediately thought he's a Sith from their first encounter, no mention of Dathomir.

No one gives a shit about "muh retcon" reductive thinking. Also, not even a retcon: you have to be reminded that none of the EU shit was ever canon, so as far as The Clone Wars goes, Lucas was introducing the one and only true and canonical information that had never been revealed before. Ventress was always a Nightsister. Maul was always a Nightbrother. That's how it goes. You have also automatically conceded because you were obviously proven wrong, when your obviously stupid points were easily refuted.
>Before that, Qui-Gon immediately thought he's a Sith from their first encounter, no mention of Dathomir.
No shit, you fucking cretin. Because he had a red lightsaber and knew the arts. Why would his race/planet of origin be mentioned at all, which is by all intents and purposes completely and utterly fucking irrelevant in the face of the fact that he was a Sith Lord, who was well-trained, and revealed himself for the first time in a millennia? Qui-Gon also never mentioned that he was a "Zabrak" from "Iridonia". Because it did not fucking matter.

Resurrections can't work in Star Wars because once anyone dies they become one with the Cosmic Force and they lose their identity. To say otherwise is to undermine the entire Star Wars narrative and its metaphysical foundation. Which is what J.J. Abrams had already done with Rise of Skywalker by bringing Palpatine back, because to him Star Wars is just pew-pew-pew, he never really put any deeper thought into it, he never once thought of the implications of what he was doing. You can't come back from the Netherworld of the Force, unless you've been specifically trained to preserve your consciousness after death or chosen for it, which is something only a few specific Jedi could do. It's been discussed and explained ad infinitum, I get the feeling that you just refuse to understand and accept it. Ventress' resurrection was a completely vague, nonsensical, totally arbitrary asspull, and there was no real thought put into it. It doesn't make sense on any level: narrative, thematic, logistical, continuity. It's also absolutely fucking hilarious just how pointless it ended up being: one filler Bad Batch cameoslop episode and a bunch of nothingburger shorts. Bravo, Dave. So I just struggle to see what is there even to discuss, other than you just having an excuse to post Ventress again, because that's all you ever post or care about. Speaking of which, I have never seen you post anything else. You never talk about Star Wars movies, Star Wars themes, Star Wars philosophy, or anything Star Wars really - all you ever talk about is your waifu.

Not really. If you refer to the "zombies" they raised to fight the Separatists, it was not a true necromancy or resurrection.

Per George it's still possible to collect a person's Living Force energy and store it. Mother Talzin was having Living Force extracted and store from various people in order to re-energize herself enough to resume her corporeal form after she used her Force witchery to become insubstantial to escape Grievous. She still kept all of the extracted energy in the same tank, so obviously people got blended but you could in theory just take one and store one and retain the person, presumably indefinitely. The new shit did reuse Sith having bound their Living Force essence to objects such as Darth Momin to his mask. Also I think Darth Filonius said that the Sith holocron Ezra had contained a specific person, but I can't be arsed to look it up. Also somehow the Grand Inquisitor returned as a ghost in the comics. Darth Vader keeps his spirit bound in his castle and occasionally sends him out to fuck with Luke, or whatever. Don't ask me how Vader managed to get his Living Force after he fell into an exploding hyperspace reactor.

It's not like a person's Living Force is really consumed as in ingested. Your spirit becomes part of the Cosmic Force, spread across everything. In theory a Force user who knows their shit could, in theory, pull a person back together again. It would be like trying to refill a cup with the same water you poured into the ocean years ago, but as Yoda would have it never underestimate the Force. Now imagine the horror of Yoda and Obi-Wan restoring the entire Prequel Jedi Council as Force Ghosts. Imagine how much damage they could do.

Also, and again in theory, an easier method would likely be because as part of the Cosmic Force the Ghosts are unbound to time and space. They could just hop back to the point in time where Mace Windu got through out the windu and yank his ass into Ghosthood. Just in time to play pep squad to Rey.

lets not forget the voices of jedi past in TROS (despite how shit the movie is)

seemingly, the nightsisters have their own spirit realm, its where talzin goes when she becomes incorpreal (and stays around without a body after dying in son of dathomir) where ventress goes when she's buried as a ghost, the dead nightsisters are presented as ghosts in the same episode as well as the nightsister ghosts which can possess people in rebels, you also have the dead nightsisters lending their power to the living as presented in fallen order

the real question is why doesnt ventress' spirit pass into the cosmic force when she dies, and appears on dathomir as a ghost months later as soon as she's buried
maybe theres some form of "spirit trapping"? their spirit cant become part of the cosmic force because of some latent nightsister spell?

I think that's what the "pep squad" comment was for. It would explain why Anakin's ghost was so absent in the sequels if he was still hiding from Mace WIndu's ghost.

>seemingly, the nightsisters have their own spirit realm
I thought the problem Talzin had was while she had enough witchy ichor to phase herself through solid matter she didn't have enough to fully come back. She tries to have a cult acquire enough force energy another way but Jar Jar and Mace stopped that, so in a comic she possessed Dooku and fed off of him until she could come back in time to get stabbed to death. I always wondered what the ramifications of that was to Dooku. Did she Force "level drain" him and this is why he was so much weaker in Revenge, or did he fully recover and it was just Anakin having leveled up on his own?

Forgot to comment. I somehow doubt Filoni will ever give a concrete reason. The strongest fan theories revolve around the fact that Obi-Wan and Vos left her body to sink into the Nightsister's ichor reservoir. Ichor is basically concentrated living force they obtain from a giant fish monster and fuels their magicks. That's why when they shoved it into Savage Opress he not only became able to use the Force but he was also made larger, more muscular, and able to withstand withering blaster fire. His body was sustained by a large dose of Force energies and when he was horribly wounded it leaked out of him as smoke.

Yeah, just energy. Not identity. Nothing ever suggested or implied that. George was pretty tight on that shit. He even insisted that Nightsisters were NOT Force users, he was very autistic about Sith spirits, etc. So no, I doubt that.

Savage was already Force sensitive. Did you miss the part where he was the last man standing in the trials that made him Dooku's servant in the first place? He was the only one. He learned to use the Force and trained under Dooku. It was not injected into him. Dark Side training is quicker and easier, but he was very much unrefined and sloppy till the end.

Did you literally miss where his last words to Maul were, "I'm not like you. I never was." As he was dying he lost all the witch smoke and reverted back to his original non-powered form. Not to mention he was literally empowered with the Force in the first place as part of Talzin's plan to give Dooku a traitorous new assassin/apprentice to get her revenge against the Sith.

Well it seems the new Disney lore is that Plageuis was not Palpatine's master. Which always made more sense to me honestly-

I like the implication that Palpatine is stroking his own ego when he tells Anakin about how Plageuis was killed by his own aprpentice, but I prefer it be ambigiuous if he's talking about himself, or an actual Sith Legend, or if he's making it all up on the spot. Of the three, I prefer it be an actual Sith legend, and thus not something Palpatine personally experienced.

It seems like new Disney lore is that the cool sith guy we saw in Acolyte was Plageuis' apprentice, and probably the one that mercs him on his sleep baring an arbitrary plot twist. I don't know if or when that show is getting a second season, I don't think it molested my mother like some people do, but I won't lose sleep if Acolyte doesn't get a second season. Overall nothing about the creative decision thus far particularly bothers me though as it stands. I don't mind us getting more Plageuis lore, I would have preferred it all stayed ambigiuous, but like I said, I think this is the least worst option than I've seen come from some fan interpretations (like Anakin's divine birth was Palpatine's psy-op).

Actually, what was the pre-prequel conception on Palpatine and his dark side powers? Him having been the chancellor/president of the Republic before getting himself elected as dictator for life was established as early as the novelization of the original film, but where did he gain the ability to shoot lightning at people? The term "Sith" while mentioned in the script and the longer version of the DS boardroom scene (before it was cut down to what ended up in the finished film), was very vague in definition (and there definitely wasn't a notion of a chain of Sith masters and apprentices going back 1000 years), so most novels just referred to the bad guys with red lightsabers as "dark Jedi", and Palpatine never seems to have been conceived as being a former Jedi.

A reason I hate the rule of two is that it makes little sense as a means of ensuring continuity of their organization. If Master and Apprentice are on the same ship that gets destroyed the Sith are done, at least until some sleemo finds a Sith holocron and decides the Sith must rise again. There are things they can do to mitigate the issue, as during the PT Sidious and Dooku rarely met up, but it still is a risky gambit since pure happenstance can still do them in. Accident, disease, even a critical brain drain of Sith secrets if the Master falls down the stairs and leaves only a barely trained Apprentice to take over the mantle.

>>96863144
I think a lot of this is just fans connecting certain dots, like Plagueis having the knowledge to directly influence midi-chlorians to create life and the Nightsisters able to manipulate Living Force enough to make a relative nobody like Savage into a buff monster practically immune to blaster fire. All their so-called "magic" was just manipulating harvested Force energies, so it's tempting to make these connections. I'm not aware of any canon explanations. As I recall even the story of Sidious going, "Yoink, got yer Maul!" was Talzin's version of events. She's not exactly a reliable narrator, but broadly speaking that's surely what happened. The details of what Sidious was trying to learn is left sketchy.

Yeah, pretty sure comic stuff has been overridden too. The so-called grand unified canon of all Star Wars media is basically that something is canon-ish until overwritten by a later author.

Before, it was the actual mother of Maul, who wasn't Talzin, giving Maul to a passing by Palpatine, to get Maul away from the clan, as he had better chances with a Sith than as a slave Nightbrother, especially when he was a twin.
It wasn't even on Dathomir. And later Talzin was shown to consider Maul her slave who should belong to her, but she failed at reclaiming him. And that was before the Phantom Menace.

It seemed weird that Talzin happened to be the actual mother of both Maul and Savage, but on second thought, given the relative low number of Dathomirian Zabrak and and how the chicks occasionally kidnap the Nightbros to breed, I have the feeling they're all related. Cue:

My best guess is it works (beyond just saying "plot says it does") because the Force lets them foresee when they need to make allowances for future catastrophes. How does that jive with the Apprentice being able to kill a Master that can foresee the future (which would be a problem either way?) Either an Apprentice just reaches a level of strength that it doesn't matter or is clever enough to work around visions. Either would be a suitable replacement (though I'd personally preference intelligence and guile over brute strength, ideally a Sith would have both). The other way it can work? Both end up leaving enough secret Apprentices lying around that they have some small degree of redundancy. Cue Dooku being a substitute for Maul and the plan keeps right on chugging along.

This is why i like the Triumverate idea over the Rule of Two.

Rule of Two's problem is that it relies on the honour code in a system that is designed to attract those who are generally not honourable. All it takes is one guy going "Well, i want power now, so i'll just put a bomb on the Master's shuttle and tell everyone i slew him in honourable combat." And suddenly the whole system goes into a death spiral where weaker and weaker Dark Lords rise.

The Triumverate is a flawed system, but at least it banks on the natural paranoia that such a system creates. Lords A, B and C share power equally. And with equal power, none have the clear advantage. This means 1 cannot stand against 2. And 2 can't team up to overthrow the other, because none can be sure of their intentions.

If A walks up to B and says "Hey, let's kill C and take his stuff for ourselves." Then B can't be sure that A isn't in cahoots with C to trick him into making the first move. Whereas A can't be sure B won't run off to C and tell him about A's plans so B and C come back to kill him. Now, as Kreia found out the hard way, this system falls to pieces the moment B and C hate A so much that they don't care about paranoia anymore, or are just too insane to understand basic reason. But at least it plays to the strengths of the system, rather than to its weaknesses.

If the master was worth his salt, he would see this coming and punish his apprentice appropriately. Which is to say either torture him until he gets back in line or killing him and finding someone else.
>And suddenly the whole system goes into a death spiral where weaker and weaker Dark Lords rise.
Nah, the system self-corrects because eventually when you get a pathetic enough dark lord, the next guy will be stronger almost by default. And then all it takes is some guy who's both strong and clever and we're back in business.
