Tbh Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma's story is so funny because they're equals and yet Exar Kun says HE is the Sith Master of the duo, the one in charge because he was messing with the dark side for like a week longer than Ulic, and Ulic lets him. But then Ulic is the one that secures most if not all of their allies. He's the one that conquered Mandalore by defeating Mand'alor the Indomitable. He secured such a strong alliance with them that Indomitable wanted to go rescue him at his trial. He mansplains, manipulates, manslaughters his way through the galaxy to the point the Jedi want to get rid of him before even trying to get rid of Kun. Meanwhile Exar Kun was in Yavin 4 giving pep talks to the baby Sith.

Thinking about how Jake was taught to respect his father even if he was also never even told what Wesker's name was and was let to believe that Wesker was just some deadbeat. Thinking about how Jake was 14-15 when he had to drop out of school and become a mercenary to support his sick mother in 2007. Thinking about how by 2009 (the same year Wesker died), Jake's mom was probably already dead because he was all the way in the South American jungle, getting BETRAYED and almost stabbed to death because his own trainer, the man he'd grown to see as a father figure, sold out his unit to the enemy and everyone except Jake died. Thinking about how despite having never met Wesker and thinking of him as a deadbeat, Jake gets so upset about Chris confessing to murdering him that he almost shoots him. Thinking about how when he finally calms down from that, during the fight alongside Chris and Piers, he lets Chris know that he wants to know more about his father. Thinking about how, as far as the game shows, he doesn't get to have that conversation with Chris and instead all he knows is from the time on the laboratory in China, and the conclusion he reaches from that is that his father was "A freakin' nutjob who almost destroyed the world." and that "Crazy runs in the family."

Mama Scarface is such a tragic "villain" to me like, imagine you're just minding your own business with your babies and a bunch of humans come and chase you out of your territory so they can build their buildings, you leave because you have babies and you don't want them hurt, they keep chasing you further and further out of your territory and in the process they difigure your right side completely but especially your face, leaving you half blind, you STILL only attack them when they bother you, but then they invade your nest and kill every single one of your babies.

Like holy shit look what the team did to her?!?!

AND TO HER BABIES?!

I remember sitting by my stepbrother while he played this game and being like

Girls when Maul's backtory in Legends was a perfect parallel of Anakin's but then that parallelism got written off just to make Maul seem like competition

It's so funny how Disney will rather bring Ventress back from the dead with zero explanation, fake dementia and fish for sympathy points by pretending she's anywhere near the same level of manipulated as the literal men created to be cannon fodder in the war- when she herself enslaved, manipulated and killed people just because she wanted to, than ever explain what happened to Barriss or even mention her.

I find it really interesting and also depressing how much Roganda's wardrobe and appearance changes from when she's a teenager and young adult forced into being Palpatine's concubine, to post Palpatine's death and she gets to have body autonomy for the first time in forever.

This is her as Palpatine's concubine, from around age 15 to 25.

It looks to me like an interesting twist on Naboo fashion, despite her being from Alderaan, with the uncomfortably big hair pieces and styles, and the excessive makeup (as Roganda is described to have tan skin).

Then there's her after Palpatine dies.

Hair loose, much simpler and comfortable outfit, no jewelry, hair chopped unevenly, no corset, no makeup. She actually looks YOUNGER than she does in the first picture. Her previous style was really just Not Her at all.

The parallel between Obi-Wan befriending Cerasi and Nield then Cerasi is killed and Nield resents Obi-Wan to the point they never speak again, and Anakin befriending Darra and Tru then Darra is killed and Tru resents Anakin to the point they never speak again
