There are two ways to deal with TOTJ. First, ignore it for the most part like KOTOR did. Second, consider it and make some evolution from it, like SWTOR did.

You're ignoring a third option -- running with what TOTJ set up.

No I am not ignoring it. It is basically the second option without any evolution/development, which is hands down stupid and unacceptable. Thousand years ago in Europe people wore armour and fought with swords... in your version, soldiers in WW2 should wore armour and fought with swords as well.

I also hate the corpse-white skin, the glowing yellow/orange/red eyes, and the general Goth-like attire.

Here is one of them:

A "KISS reject" is any character who looks like this

"Generic" refers to any Sith who fits this or any similar mold.

Yea I thought so. But I just can't visually connect any of the Sith I saw in KOTOR or SWTOR with those guys.

Face facts -- prior to TOTJ, "Sith" was an undefined, nebulous concept; Tom Veitch was the one to give the Sith a distinct culture and history.

Just because the name didn't appear on-screen it doesn't mean the concept wasn't there. Prior to TOTJ, if we take Vader as a reference, we were safe to assume Sith was sort of a dark-side centred religion (an obvious counterpart to Jedi) rather than species/culture.

DuracellEnergizer said:

Perhaps Veitch and co. expected the readers to use a little imagination and deductive reasoning to fill in the gaps -- something you apparently are incapable of.

I am capable and so were the developers of SWTOR. It is just you who is unwilling to go along with anything reasonable. You insist on using the TOTJ Sith (which were almost extinct) 1000 years later without any evolution/development.

DuracellEnergizer said:

Sure, go ahead. Just don't attempt to link these Sith to the Sith that preceeded them.

How convenient... in one instance you accused me of lack of imagination in connecting the dots and filling the gaps and in the next instance you forbid any kind of linking at all.
