FoTJ: Allies

If I recall correctly, Daala was also a war criminal and terrorist.

There you go. If she pushes the Jedi too far, they can just reach into the legal document banks, pull out a few warrants arresting Daala for war crimes/crimes against sentience, and BOOM! Problem solved.

In my opinion, Darth Caedus was and always will be the immortal leader of the Galactic Alliance, but that's just my opinion....

Daala is only cool because she tried to save Pelleon.

I wish Kyp had killed her in JA.

i like daala. shes just a **** up of epic proportions. i dont understand why shes allowed to be involved in any important events in the mythos at all TBH... its like a horrible actor who keeps getting scripts

It's strange how the general public in the SW universe is often anti Jedi, forgetting about the fact that the Jedi saved the galaxy from pretty much every threat it's ever faced.

All it takes is one good anti-Jedi leader, and the public follows them. The SW public is even more gullible than the real-world public.

So what's the release date?

I really don't understand how the public of the SW universe would accept a former Imperial war criminal and terrorist that helped develop superweapons such as the Sun Crusher as the chief of state. Have they lost their minds? That would be like us accepting Osama as the president.

It was a bit of a stretch. It was really really bad move on Luke's part, regardless. If anything, it was time for Luke to seize control. (though i'm sure that wasn't what he wanted).

No.

I submit to you that it would be too tough to call between Luke and Daala in terms of leadership skills.

Luke really is a disaster when it comes to leading; he's an unparalleled hero, he's superb at making peace, but he's ill-equipped to maintain it.

How?

He's a total thicko.

He's a total thicko.

Precisely.

Skywalker has no concept of civil discourse, debate, or point-making (as demonstrated in his ridiculous debate with the war criminal herself [he let her take the moral high ground]), the Dark Nest Crisis and Yuuzhan Vong invasion are littered with his inability to control or rein in the actions of his subordinates, and Legacy of the Force shows him release a dangerous enemy simply because he couldn't control his emotions.

Which is to say he's apparently never heard of an arrest.

You know, a lack of leadership skill is a rather glaring lack considering Luke's position.

Why do you think so many of his Jedi turn to the darkside?

Kyp was possessed by Exar Kun. Zekk was originally a dark Jedi but became a Jedi Knight. Brakkis was an infiltrator. Mara was an Emperor's Hand, but became Luke's wife and a Jedi Master. Tahiri never fully turned. Only Jacen and Alema Rar fully turned to the dark side.

Daala is nothing more than a criminal, but Gideon's right, Luke can't lead a peacetime government for...well, you get the point.

I say, bring back Cal Omas. Or Darth Caedus. Both led the Alliance through some pretty tough times.

Leia should have been in charge. I recall that she was pretty competantafter Endor. And she isn't that old.

Good point.

Why they didn't turn over the government to Pellaeon from day one is beyond me; he is a famous Imperial, sure, but he doesn't have Daala's record of stupidity or terrorism attached to his name.

Wynn Dorvan, Daala's aide, is definitely preferable to Daala herself. In addition to her grotesque incompetence and reputation, Dorvan notes in Backlash that she's taking a page from Palpatine's playbook.
