So having them originally be a race of creatures who are enslaved by exiled Jedi is in depth? That kind of contrived nonsense is actually of interest to you?

If that kind of shallow attempt at writing is what you consider interesting then fine. Personally I like to explore peoples motivations for their lust for power and control, rather than just throwing contrived set piece after set piece in a desperate bid to write terrible writing out of a corner.

You fail to realise that not everyone wants power for the same reason, and they don't come to these conclusions from the same place either. The reason they do in the EU is because Lucas allowed third rate writers endless freedom to write boring, two dimensional characters that are nothing more than uber-hardcore-evil-wizard-nerd-bait.

Your idea of depth and substance is thousands of years of contrived, rehashed history. Mine is character development. To each their own though, at least I actually got a ******* discussion out of you.
