Force sabers all out

Wasn't Maris doing favorably against Galen until he switched to a form she wasn't familiar with? It was on a nexus, though. Hmm...

Bastila wins Force, though.

The nexus was empowering her but I don't believe it was negatively affecting Galen. He just comments on how he can't use brutal methods to take Maris out due to Bail Organa's presence.

There's a number of instances where direct statements about the Jedi being hindered aren't given, but we know from external sources that DS nexuses generally weaken them.

Force: Bastila, 6-8/10
Sabers: Maris, 8/10
All out: Maris, 6-7/10

I don't think Galen considered himself a Jedi at that point.

Well he's clearly not a Dark Sider.

He considered himself an apprentice of Vader though I can't remember if he faced Maris before or after thinking about whether to betray Vader and use the Rebel Alliance as his own tool.

Also I thought you weren't talking to me? :P

He was still Vader's apprentice when he fought Brood. I don't think Galen considered himself otherwise until after Vader betrayed him on Corellia; though I could be mistaken.

Sabers probably goes to Maris
Bastila gets the edge in The Force
I think Bastila has it all out, but it's close and I could be swayed.

He muses on using the RA for his own purposes before Corellia.

At least you've read the book.

I remember very little about it though, I was in like 6th Grade; don't remember much from then. Probably should read it again though.

What he considers himself is irrelevant. I'm referring to Force alignment. And yes, all light siders are weakened on a DS nexus, not just Jedi. My wording before was simply poor.

Your Force alignment is inherently connected to your philosophy and outlook. Was Galen still drawing on the Darkside when using lightning on Vader in their final fight.

Oh don't worry, I understood that part. I was using Jedi as a blanket term for lightsider a as well.

Both shit. Bastila's more powerful, she wins

She should be a superior combatant, yeah.

You don't think Galen was a light sider?

Either way, Maris was amped.

Depends if you attribute the DS nexus to Maris' own shifting of it -- which would then technically make it her own power, with which she can't externally amp herself -- or to Ti's death.

I'm more impartial to the latter since the novel hints at it more, while the Campaign Guide notes Maris caused other Felucians to fall to the Dark Side.

So yeah, Maris was amped.

Is this Bastilla amped up by the Star Forge?

At that point? I don't know. The novel leaves his affiliation ambiguous.

Yes.

I favor the former as we've talked about in the past.

I still don't understand why you hold the position that a character can't amp themselves if they were the ones to shift the balance through their actions.
