Whoa. Looking at the title of this thread I burst out laughing. But after reading the article I'm impressed with how well that would fit in. I feel like SUDDENLY A NEW SITH LORD OUT OF NOWHERE is a really tart way to get a new villain. And the fact that RotJ gave off the impression that the dark side of the force being routed only makes it more cringy if they just have them crawl out of the woodwork without a good explanation. It's just as bad as the "OH YOU EVADED ORDER 66 AND SURVIVED THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE EMPIRICAL RULE TOO? AND YOU ALSO CONVENIENTLY POP OUT IN FRINGE LORE WITHOUT HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN THE REBELLION AND THE BATTLE OF ENDOR/HOTH/YAVIN4? OH WELL SO HAVE I! THERE ARE ACTUALLY 4-500 JEDI JUST CHILLING ALL OVER THE PLACE!"

I know its a very appetizing thought for a writer authoring lore on the fringe, but it still gets me every time. cough AHSOKA cough
