Star Wars: Lords of the Sith

Should have been a Moses!Bale gif, because only God could make this turn out well.

Lmfao.

Nah but if Ahsoka pressures Vader to the point he ends up bringing out ****ing Force maelstrom then

I just want them to make Maelstrom canon, but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes.

Agreed.

and the fact that Jedi are "far more powerful" when they have no bodies at all.

Despite the seeming implication of that wording, by the subsequent films we saw that said power was actually quite limited: "I cannot interfere." We still haven't seen the ghosts do much at all.

Well in the final season of TCW Qui-Gon's ghost levitated Yoda and shook the room. And IIRC Yoda seemed pretty helpless to do anything. And Qui-Gon didn't even complete his ghost training.

Just because their rules/morals they follow doesn't allow them to interfere doesn't mean they are not extremely powerful.

I'm not sure why that would be a rule for them, and I certainly don't see it as an issue of morals.

Same reason Qui-Gon won't tell Yoda who the Sith Lord was. So clearly they do have non - interference morals/rules in their afterlife identities.

Which is really strange, as rules only exist so long as they can be enforced.

Does another force ghost come and double-kill all the ghosts who break the rules? If not, they functionally could do whatever the **** they want.

Qui-Gon can't tell the Jedi who Sidious is only because it's a giant plot hole, but I wouldn't exactly call it an issue of morals. How is it moral to let Palpatine take over the galaxy and ultimately sentence millions
( including all the people on Alderaan ) to death?

Then again, ghost Qui-Gon's perception seems to be oddly limited, if Overlords is any indication...

Overlords was before Qui-Gon could commune with Yoda. He could only commune with Mortis at that point, so of course his perception was limited at that time.

If it's a plot hole that Qui-Gon didn't tell Yoda who the Sith Lord was even when Yoda specifically asked him, then it's a plot hole that the Force Ghosts decided not to intervene in combat.

The only Logical explanation is they have a level of Non-Interference laws set on them in the after-life.

So it's out right? Anyone have it? How is it?

It was alright. Not sure if I'd go as far to say it's a disappointment, but it certainly could have been better. It's far better than Tarkin at least.

Anything new for Vader or Sidious?

Feat wise? Plenty. Each brings down a space ship, they take on hundreds of these giant bugs called Lyleks, Vader is fast enough to keep up with Sidious, Sidious's foresight is pretty much perfect, etc etc..

And Vader suspects that Palpatine was holding back throughout most of the novel to test Vader's loyalty.

Edit: Oh, and there are a few Royal Guards and they are actually quite badass.

**** I need this book

The Royal Guards actually do more than just stand around? 😮

TELL ME WHAT THEY DO!

Also that's pretty awesome feats for them.

They are master marksmen. Two of them are with Vader and Palpatine throughout much of the novel and help fight the Lyleks managing to kill a bunch of them with headshots and grenades.

Also, interestingly enough, one of them was actually a Fett clone.

You finished it already?
