Knights of the Old Republic (Comic Book): Difference between revisions

* [[Blind Seer]]: The Miraluka Q'Anilia

* [[Break the Cutie]]: The entire Destroyer Arc counts as Zayne's [[Break the Cutie]]. He's enslaved, shown visions of torture, experiences an elaborate manipulation at the hands of Chantique, is forced to watch as a slave he befriended dies, drives Jarael away, and doesn't realize that he's been lied to until it's too late.

** Arkoh Adasca also confirms it by mentioning that Lucien used to always show up at parties with Q'Anilia as his date.

* [[Born Lucky]]: Zayne's apparent [[Blessed With Suck|disability with learning the Force]] actually [[Winds of Destiny Change|swings the odds in his favor.]] [[Fridge Brilliance|That's probably why he survived the killing of the Jedi Padawans in the beginning of the series,]] setting the whole series in motion.

** After {{spoiler|saving Zayne from the Jedi Covenant in the introductory story-arc}}, Jarael seems incapable of defeating anything other than [[Mooks]], and has to be rescued by the main characters from the Mandalorians, Lord Adasca, a rogue assassin droid ...

** In Shel's case, it's not easy to kill someone even if you are a trained soldier, and she's just a civilian who has no choice but to fight. Plus, it helped that Zayne massively deconstructed her motivation for wanting to kill him by a.) forcing her to face that she really had no clue as to why she thought he was guilty, and b.) showing genuine grief over her brother's death, which is not exactly the kind of things darksiders do.

** One of the subplots is Malak's [[Start of Darkness]]. His rough treatment of Rohlan, whom he believes to be Demagol, makes the Mandalorian exclaim: "That's the way you like it, Jedi -- don't you? So save your Republic -- but who'll save the Republic from you?" Saving the Republic from Malak is your mission in [[Knights of the Old Republic|the eponymous game]].

* [[For the Evulz]]: One might argue that {{spoiler|Haazen is ONLY destroying the Jedi Knighthood and taking over the Republic to further spit on Barrison's grave.}}

** The Crucible gleefully admits that they no longer have a purpose for their crimes, but do it anyway.

** Senator Gorravus is a half human half Mirialan hybrid (his wealthy father had an affair with an alien servant).

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The Jedi Covenant see a vision of a Sith lord dressed in a red environmental suit. At first, and given the events later, they're considered to have interpreted the vision wrongly. {{spoiler|Alek wears one at the end of the flashpoint arc. The comic even calls attention to it.}}

* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Cassus Fett, Mandalore's aide-de-camp and general right-hand-man, seems to be the brains of the Mandalorian Empire- it's heavily implied that his eye for tactics and logistics is what has enabled most of their victories so far.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: After saving Zayne from the covenant at the end of the first arc, Jarael says she can't let Zayne go around thinking sacrificing himself for her is sensible behavior. Chantique says the exact same thing to Jarael, about the exact same subject, during they're fight to try and convince her that Zayne no longer cares about her.

* [[Karmic Death]]: This is actually a major plot point. There are implications that, due to Zayne Carrick's peculiar relationship with the Force, that people who attempt to kill or harm him will suffer these.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: At least one of Zayne Carrick's villains gets away scott-free. {{spoiler|Lucien Draay}}

* [[Screw Destiny]]: Zayne Carrick has this attitude but he was almost certainly never really destined to be a Sith Lord anyway. {{spoiler|Lucien Draay is a more direct case as we find out he was destined to be Darth Sion but rejected this destiny}}.

* [[Secret Police]]: The Jedi Covenant is a secret cult of these within the Jedi Order. {{spoiler|They all get killed off or arrested at the end of Haazen's plan.}}

** Subverted with Xamar in that his attempt to do the right thing is what causes him to get killed.

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: {{spoiler|Haazen and Zayne Carrick}}

** Jarael and Chantique.

* [[Snake Talk]]: Xamar.

* [[Spanner in The Works]]: Zayne Carrick utterly unravels the Jedi Covenant, Adasca, and arguably Mandalore's plans for the galaxy. It seems to be his role within the Star Wars universe.

** "The people! The people!"

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Zayne Carrick manages to setup an information gathering network he calls the "Rogue Moon Project," designed to help refugees and people who were wrongfully accused while making himself its first field agent. You read that right kids, [[Comedic Hero|that]] [[Character Development|Zayne Carrick.]]

* [[Two D Space]]: Forming a ring of ships over the equator of Corruscant is supposed to prevent any ships from reaching the planet.

* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: They have a HUGE selection of costumes for the characters.

** Raana Tey slowly becomes more insane to the point where she throws Zayne THROUGH A LARGE GLASS WINDOW. Both combatants are lacerated by the falling glass.

* [[Warrior Poet]]: Rohlan the Questioner.

* [[Word of God]]: John Jackson Miller's blog contains a lot of explanations that confirm or have [[Jossed]] fan speculation.

* [[Winds of Destiny Change]]: {{spoiler|Zayne's "learning disability" with the Force turns out to be the ability to have probibility swing his way.}}

* [[Whole Episode Flashback]]: Haazen has one of these.
