The Reborn?

[Faqa]

It was? In what ways?

When Kyle came in and blew out the stone, the mission briefing clearly said Jerec's power had been weakened. If you'll recall, the final duel had you hurrying to kill Jerec BEFORE he could return to his fuill power using the Valley. You waited too long, he used that white-ball thingy on you that he used in the opening movie.

And the dark-side ending? With Kyle as Emperor?

Doesn't have to mean he absorbed it all. But enough to be a powerful Dark Jedi.... that I can see. You just have to be careful with 'dosage' as it were, in the valley.

BTW, I too cast my vote on shadowtropers being Reborn in the new Armani Cortosis line...

"As Jerec revives in the core, he pulls at the Jedi monuments. Once the statues block your access, he will destroy you at a whim. A mechanism left by the ancient Jedi can temporarily interrupt his rejuvenation."

"The unstable valley has swallowed you and Jerec, trapping you together in the center core. His power will be replenished and strengthened unless you can cut him off from the force stream."

It seems more like he recharges (The phrase in the briefing was 'rejuvinate') himself during the fight, and distracts you, as opposed to being initially weak.

So, Rahn's just a fan of exxageration then?

[Faqa]

Rahn got ass-fucked by Jerec. He's not a reliable witness....

And, further, I don't see how your statement contradicts here. He was weakened by the sudden explosion of power, and had to recharge using the Valley's power more gradually. That doesn't mean he absorbed ALL of it or even a significant portion.

Let's look at Desann - he takes enough power to energize himself(i.e, give himself that cheating Push and unbreakable Grip), but he leaves enough to get an army of Reborn at his side. If he could get enough power safely to casually induce supernovas, as it were, why bother with the Reborn?

You know what I like, the same time that they became more resistant to lightsabers, the became really shitty at breaking out of force chokes.

*shrugs* Well, I based that assumption on a piece of dialogue between 2 stormtroopers. I think it was part 2 of Galak's ship, at the beginning of the level.
