Along the way, Z-Man teaches Aryn lessons about herself and the futility of revenge. The two travel to Imperial occupied Coruscant to find info on Malgus. Instead, he meets with Aryn, by the will of the Force, or for the sake of the plot, someone whom he is already friends with. We meet Z-Man as he is offered a large deal, one which he thinks would be able to get him out of debt and make enough money to buy his daughter a new hover chair. This causes Z-Man to start making spice runs for a shady organization, from whom he has kept his daughter a secret. His daughter, paralyzed from the waist down, relies on Z-Man’s money to be able to keep up some semblance of a life while living with her aunt. Instead, they come from a criminal? Zeerid Korr, known also as Z-Man, was a Naval officer turned smuggler. Oddly enough, lessons about revenge don’t come from the Jedi. This leaves the story feeling a bit lacking, as we know that she should be struggling a lot more to balance her anger with the serenity that Jedi teachings should offer. Unfortunately, we don’t see a lot of her internal struggle to coincide her hopes for revenge with her Jedi training. Because she doesn’t seem to be concerned about her anger levels, she creates a plan to chase Darth Malgus across the galaxy and kill him for orchestrating the attack on the Jedi. Maybe one of the most interesting aspects of the novel is that we don’t get the sense that Aryn has been warned about the danger of anger and revenge. Aryn’s anger swells in her, and she thinks about the different ways that she can get revenge on the Sith for what they did for her. Too little, too late, the Republic and Jedi learned that the Sith Empire never had plans to make peace with the Jedi. Aryn becomes furious at the Sith for their deception, both in wasting their time on Alderaan and for the destruction that they caused to her home. Aryn Leneer is affected even more personally than most as Jedi Master Zallow was her former mentor. News of the Sith Empire’s attack on Coruscant reaches Alderaan. How? By attacking the Jedi Temple head on, the same event you can view in the trailer above! But Vitiate is also planning on creating some momentum for the Sith Empire in the war. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, Emperor Darth Vitiate has captured Jedi Knight Revan in an effort to prolong his own life. Recently, the war has come to a stalemate, neither side really gaining any ground against the other. The Jedi Council hopes that these two Jedi can aid the Republic in bringing an end to the war. The Republic sends Jedi Master Dar’Nala and Knight Aryn Leneer as representatives. The book opens on Alderaan, where the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire are hosting a peace conference. If you are curious who is the “deceived” that the video is named after, this book has your answers. The battle ends with the death of Zallow as Malgus watches the Sith Army invade Coruscant. After the initial impact of the ship on the temple, the focus of the trailer shifts to the fight between Darth Malgus and Ven Zallow, Jedi Master. After the gunship crashed through the wall of the Temple, Sith Lords spilled out of the ship to kill Jedi and wreak havoc in the Temple. I n this trailer, the Jedi Temple is sacked by a Sith Lord, a Twi’lek, a gunship full of Sith, and Mandolorian warrior Shae Vizsla. One of the most breathtaking ones was entitled Deceived. Empires and the men who ruled empires could not stay sharp when surrounded by comfort, by peace.”įor a lot of fans like me, who weren’t too interested in the video game world, our only experience of BioWare’s The Old Republic series is through the cinematic trailers. But wait no longer: read my experience of Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived! The Legendary Adventures have been no different: from exploding temples, to destruction in space, through hand to hand combat, against droids and clones, I have been wearied and delayed in relaying my last report. It’s hard to know, at the beginning of an adventure, what types of perils and troubles you will face on any journey.
