Welcome back to another episode of-
Key differences between K1 and TSL...
Today we'll be discussing the villains in KOTOR and TSL
1:Malak and Sion, So first you have malak, revans apprentice and a former jedi knight, he had what every good sith lord had, a good evil laugh, a giant space station that does something destructive, and an army of stupid soldiers.
Malak was very one sided, he wanted to conquer the galaxy and exterminate the republic, with the star forge in one hand and a beer in the... excuse me, and an empire in the other, he was very reckless in his battle tactics. He was very destructive in the way he attacked, when he attacked he went all or nothing, a good example of this is when he turned taris to ash, only to find that his targets had escaped within the last 30 seconds...
Another example is telos, even if Admiral karath was the one to pull the trigger, malak was planning the bombardment of telos all along. He completely desimated Telos IV and had little care for anything or anyone on the planet.
Malak is your average sith lord, he wants to... 1) Conquer the galaxy under any circumstances and precautions he must take to to so. 2) Wipe out the jedi and the republic. 3) Say pathetic things to the main hero during the final conflict, (i.e. The stuff he said to revan on the star forge).
Malak also betrayed his master and shot at revans flagship, nearly killing him, which is something he would have done if not for bastilla keeping revan on "Force life support". Betraying their masters is something Sion and malak have in common.
Lets get down to speaking about sion.
Sion is a sith lord and part of the sith triumvirate, the sith triumvirate is a loose alliance between Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, and whatever remained of revans forces leftover from the jedi civil war.
Darth sion is the sith lord of pain, and he goes to show this by always being in constant pain, pain and rage and hate is his fuel, he keeps his body together using the dark side of the force. He can only die if his will is broken. He lives to destroy the jedi and the republic, he lives to seek vengeance on those whom have provoked him. He betrayed his master, darth traya, He and nihilus wanted to have the power for themselves, and they found trayas methods questionable. So nihilus and sion beat traya brutally, they stripped her of her pride, her power, and to an extent, her connection to the force.
Sion had a face off with the jedi exile during the end of the exiles journey to stop the sith triumvirate and find out why she was being hunted, the jedi exile fought sion ruthlessly and with all of her strength, but it was of little use, because each time sion was struck down and torn apart, he would stand back up and revive his gory, deformed body using the dark side of the force. Until the exile broke his will, she made sion doubt himself, and his will to live was broken, sion didn't know what he felt when the exile showed him the truth that he has been denying all along. Sion then collapsed and fell apart.
Sion was even more evil than malak, malak had a purpose to be evil, to conquer the galaxy. Sion did not care about conquering anything, he merely wished to inflict pain upon the galaxy, sion was evil because he had the power to be evil, and for no other reason but that.
Both were ruthless sith lords, and were to be feared.
