Jedi Academy Trilogy/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I just wondered about something for the first time ever. People like Michael A. Stackpole seem to despise Kyp Durron because he used the Sun Crusher. To the point where, instead of trying to maybe [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap|save the character]], they write him as a total [[Jerkass]]. But ''why'' is there so much animosity towards Kyp...when everybody he killed was an ''Imperial''? Luke killed a ton of people when he blew up the Death Star, but nobody cared because--presumably--they thought "Oh, they were all with the Empire, so it was okay." Well, as I recall Carida was a planet-sized military academy. Everybody there was either training others to go to battle for the Empire, or being trained to do so. So what makes Kyp's actions so much more unforgivable than Luke's? That there wasn't an imminent threat from them? The fact that the guys on the planet weren't stormtroopers yet? That some of them were there against their will (which was the case on the first Death Star too)? That he killed more people at once than Luke did, even though both of them killed thousands at the very least? Help me out here.
