So my question is why haven't you used the future Mandalore, Canderous Ordo? Was it because you didn't like him or because you felt he didn't fit in the story? Even just a brief cameo could have been fun. Especially during Flashpoint when there were a lot of Mandos.<br /><br />Furthermore I also agree with a question from an anonymous about : Why are the Mandalorians acting so weird in this war.

But as late as issue 42, you had the council support Revan's crusade. You explained the reasons for why you did this on Dark Horse's Star Wars boards, but seeing as how the series ends eight issues later without touching much on this, doesn't that leave the KotOR era with a gaping plothole?<br /><br />2. Lucien Draay was cast as a potential Darth Sion (from the KotOR2 game), yet in the KotOR campaign guide, which you co-wrote, Sion was listed as having fought in the Sith War. Why did you include that reference, if it was already decided in the campaign guide - released before the revelation in the comic, IIRC - that Lucien would not be Sion?<br /><br />3. Are there plot points in the KotOR comic book left unresolved? For example, I don't see the significance of revealing Jarael as force-sensitive so late in the series, when it's not going to be used.<br /><br />4. This is the one I must ask, even though you cannot answer: What happens to the character during the subsequent Jedi Civil War and First Jedi Purge? All but a very few jedi are killed in the purge by Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion, so where does that leave Zayne and Jarael?<br /><br />5. Why was the KotOR comic book cancelled? Clearly you're not tired of Star Wars, and the book seemed to sell well enough.Jediphilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985113503463596484.post-5674836611944885232010-02-13T18:34:07.901-06:002010-02-13T18:34:07.901-06:00After the Covenant was taken care of, what happene...After the Covenant was taken care of, what happened to all their Sith artifacts, like the Helm of Dathka Graush and Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger?
