I honestly want him to run into another council member on his way out and realise that they have fallen as well, eventually realising that the entire council has fallen. It would be such a mind screw for him, I want to see the disbelieve and shock because Vader been very much composed up to this point. Would be nice to see some anakin flair up.

That would have been the Force Nexus option to be clear. If Vader used the Dark Side nexus under the Temple he would have learned the entire Jedi Council had Fallen but at the expense of Sidious detecting him. Some give and take. But since you guys voted for the safe option, it'll take a bit longer for Vader to start to realize something weird is going on :P

Cambrian

That's exactly what inspired this chapter :P I was so giddy when you guys voted for annoying her instead of just destroying her, because I had this in my head as an idea from the moment I wrote those vote options fufufu

As tempting as it would be to bare his teeth are her and reveal his own Sith Eyes, Should be "teeth at her". Can't see anything else wrong, this was a great chapter. I really liked Vader's inner dialogue.

Vaders answer: Why should I , when you will serve me so much better alive?

That just makes when it happens all the better

People always make a joke about why the Jedi don't turn of there lightsabers in combat. One of the main reasons it makes sense fighting wise is that real attacks aren't aiming for the weapon, but the person. Therefore if you turned of your lightsaber, the attack would continue to hit you. Big dramatic binds were combatants stare into each other's eyes are all well and good in stories, but not so much in practical fights. Another thing, using the lightsaber to deflect an attack and then turning it off also doesn't make much sense, because all good combat techniques train you to flow with the deflection and turn it into another attack. Also, Jedi and force sensitive people aren't likely to overextend where a trick like that would leave them open to be hit. TLDR. It's a trick, and as such can get you killed as much as it kills the opponent.

Cambrian

Yeah Vader wouldn't be doing it if he wasn't so much better than Depa, that's for sure

Since BOTH the Jedi & the Sith think Trakata - the tactic Vaderkin used in his spar here, of switching one's lightsaber on and off at certain times - is Very Bad Form, it was definitely the move to make to drive Depa to blind rage...especially since Vaderkin was masterful in his application of the technique. Plus, no one died...unlike all the Jedi who got murked when it was used by Manny Jacinto's Sith character in "The Acolyte".
