QUOTE(Cain @ Jan 27 2017, 08:00 PM) He might have been lumping them together, I'd guess. I wouldn't be surprised if Tarkin didn't know, to be honest. Palps probably kept that a secret even after the 'coup' of the Jedi and his rise to ultimate power.
Yes Tarkin most certainly knew Palpatine was a Sith Lord. Or suspected as much. QUOTE The Emperor swiveled his chair toward the light, and Tarkin glimpsed his sepulchral visage; the molten skin beneath his eyes, the bulging forehead. After all these years, he was still not accustomed to it. "When one consorts with vipers, one runs the risk of being struck," the Emperor had told Tarkin following the attack on him by a quartet of Jedi Masters.
There were many stories about what had occurred that day in the chancellor's office. The official explanation was that members of the Jedi Order had turned up to arrest Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and a ferocious duel had ensued. The matter of precisely how the Jedi had been killed or the Emperor's face deformed had never been settled to everyone's satisfaction, and so Tarkin had his private thoughts about the Emperor, as well. That he and Vader were kindred spirits suggested that both of them might be Sith. Tarkin often wondered if that wasn't the actual reason Palpatine had been targeted for arrest or assassination by the Jedi. It wasn't so much only that the Order wished to take charge of the Republic; it was that the Jedi couldn't abide the idea of a member of the ancient Order they opposed and abhorred emerging as the hero of the Clone Wars and assuming the mantle of Emperor.

Hey Dee Dee, I haven't seen you around much in the General Discussion area; where you been, man? So guys, if you were to adopt a lightsaber combat form, what would it be?

Darth Bane was pretty destructive with it.

Yeah, they tried to tell her this was wrong, but damn she was badass while using it! Khajiit mostly used the double-bladed lightsabers in KotOR, KotOR2, Jedi Academy. This one really likes that style. "More slaughter per swing." Other than that, Khajiit likes Ahsoka's dual saber style where she uses one normally in one hand, and an "ice pick grip" on the other one.

In the Kotor games I usually went with either a double-ender, or two sabers. I went with two sabers in Jedi Academy. The single lightsaber just seems boring compared to them. It would be more interesting if you could go saber and an energy shield like this one. Then you could have a sword and buckler style. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Jan 28 2017, 06:08 PM

Single saber by itself is definitely boring compared to the other options, but then the other options seem to be looked down on by the Jedi as being overly "aggressive". Ooh this one likes your Lightsaber "sword and board" idea! It wouldn't even have to be an energy shield, it could literally be a shield made out of Lightsaber/blaster resistant material like Cortosis(sp?).

Believe it or not, this kind of style was actually adopted by a Pauan Sith Lord in the PS2 version of The Force Unleashed bidjogeym. He was a nice bossfight. With the way there're lightsaber AND blaster resistant metals in that Galaxy Far Away, you'd think that people with sense in their heads would use those kinds of shields more but, hey, what can you do, amirite? Rule of Cool > Errthang

Dual-bladed saber, Soresu. I'm pretty sure that's the setup I used to use as my default in KotOR2 as well.

Oh ma gyaah! Have you guys heard of the theory that Jar Jar frickin' Binks is actually a Sith Lord?!! It's pretty interesting. Khajiit doesn't believe because it raises lots of questions (such as "Why didn't Jar Jar become Emperor after the fall of the Republic?" or "So what was Jar Jar doing while Palpatine was losing the Empire?"), but this one can't help but think it would've been an interesting twist. Here's the link to the YouTube thing for any interested. Its amusing!* *Credit to Pseron Wyrd for bringing this to Khajiit's attention.

Saw that a while back, got a bit of a laugh out of it. Kinda disappinted to see how many people are taking it seriously. It's a mark of how bad the Prequels and jar jar are. Dedicated Star Wars fans are warping the entire Star Wars universe to try to justify his inclusion Lucas likes jar jar, and wanted him in the film. It really is that simple. He doesn't need the Force, because he's got Lucas on his side, so Lucas warped the movies around him. That thing was bad enough in the first film, but bringing him in after that was just criminal, frankly.

Niman > Errthang, if I may be necro-answer my own previous question of what lightsaber form one would use. While it's basically a Master of a None type of style for most practicioners, take it to its highest level and you'll be a Master of All. Literally. Not even Juyo can touch you; 7 is weak to force based counter attacks and 6 employs the usage of Force-based attacks in its swordplay.
As for the Jarth Jarth Binks theory, ehhh. Personally don't buy into it. I'm surprised you only got this now, Khajiit lol That theory was like what, posted in late 2015 or early 2016?
Guys, if you could choose your own SW ship, what would it be? And what would you name it? I'm down to a Wayfarer-class medium freighter; "The Compensator."

Probably a modified Firespray similar to Slave I. It would be crimson and black with white accents. Khajiit would name it The Harlequin Queen. In it, Khajiit and two other comrades would go a'rovin round the galaxy, stealing from the wealthy, and blowing the money on booze, wenches, and snazzy outfits! A space pirates life for me!

The Firesprays are cool. I think I might go with an SS-54 Assault Ship, like Sugi and Jas Emari had. I especially like that it was erroneously classified by the Empire as a light freighter, so they consider it a civilian craft rather than a military one. Oh, I forgot a name. I think I would call it Eternal Night. I have always liked the T-6 Shuttle as well. But I think I would have more fun in the assault ship! This post has been edited by SubRosa: Feb 1 2017, 11:19 PM

I'd probably have to go with a heavily-modified HWK-290 light freighter, named SilhouetteEither that or I'd go classic: A heavily-modified Dynamic class light freighter, named Rolling Bones
