[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by shikaru808: [qb] Which comics crossover? Was it pre or post Disney acquisition and the Great Canon Scrub? [/qb][/QUOTE]It was called [b]Vector[/b] and it ran through all the Dark Horse SW titles for a month- spanning thousands of years in the process. The story was about Sith artifacts in a roundabout way- one of which was an "Obulette": kinda an indestructable and Force-proof coffin/stasis chamber. Another artifact (the Muur Talisman) was a necklace which held the "ghost" of Sith lord Karness Muur that could allow the Sith's "ghost" (presumably a Sith the same trick Yoda and Obi-Wan managed upon death) to possess whoever wore the necklace. It's not really clear if the Talisman is a piece of exotic technology or "Sith Magic", but the Talisman also grants the wearer the ability to transmit the "Rackghoul Plague" to anyone nearby- turning them into monsters that the Talismann's wearer can mentally command as an unstoppable army. In the story, a Jedi (Celeste Morne) gets possessed by the necklace artifact and struggles against the Sith possessing her (Karness Muur), eventually having Jedi Zayne Carrick stick her into the obulette, where she's preserved in stasis but awake, spiritually fighting Karness Muur for thousands of years until Darth Vader revives her (you need the Force to open the obulette and it had been buried in a nuclear bombing attack for most of the time prior). http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Celeste_Morne I brought it up because the obulette is just the sort of device the Sith could use as a failsafe, in case the whole "Rule Of Two" turned out to be as idiotic as it sounds. It's also pretty hard to imagine Darth Bane deciding on this rule and the other Sith just going along with it and killing themselves. From a story perspective, I think it's sensible that the others went into stasis. Consider that the Jedi thought the Sith all extinct- so either two Sith at a time were [i]seriously[/i] not ambitious for several generations- or possibly Darth Plageus was a revived Sith- with knowledge from the dim past and an understanding of the Force lost to the Jedi. Of course, it's Abrams at the helm, so I expect no explanation whatsoever in favor of explosions and lens flares. But what the hell- the X-Wings look cool, so I'll see it. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
