[originally posted 11/1/2005] This planet is the armpit of hell. Hot, dusty, oppressive, and lightyears removed from the mountains of my home. I should hate this place, or not enjoy it. But for some reason I like it. This is a solitary place, the treasure hunters and those compelled to come here are quite evident, yet the lavafields and bugs provide me an environment where I can be wrapped in the bubble. It's like being in a constant state of target preparedness. I haven't felt this healthy since I ran weapons for the Alliance.
And the knowledge I've gained here in just a few days..... I don't understand it all yet, but the crystals, the power that comes from them is immense, tempting, yet not tainted by any use, it's like the lava of this world has burned out any desire in them. They exist to be used, not for some lost wielder's still existant plans and aims. I think studying them and the data from the shrines I may very well be able to create devices that tap into the force itself. It's refreshing to find tools not tainted by this old conflict.
Old conflict *chuckle*
There I go, falling into the language of these 'new' jedi and 'new' sith. This isn't an old conflict. This is a ressurected excuse for individual grabs for power and a misguided defense by people who idealize the past.
The jedi failed because of their white tower, and the new sith are nothing to those who won.
