Mara Jade Skywalker is always surprising you (lifeyoulive) wrote in makebelievelog,

Mara well knew one couldn't separate the Sith from the Jedi. After all, despite viewing Jacen and Caedus as two different people, she still knew Jacen was Caedus just as much as Anakin was Vader. But Mara was unique in her position for she, too, was once on the Dark Side. She had not been Sith, but she still knew what it was to commit horrible acts and have them follow you yet people were willing to forgive and look past them.

"As well you shouldn't, I know you and Vader are one and the same. Likewise the woman I am now and the Emperor's Hand are also one and the same. One cannot be judged as a whole because for every horrible thing you did as Vader, there was something good you did while you were Anakin. It's about the life you live, not the legacy you leave." There was a distinct difference there, though she knew Anakin's darkness lay ahead of him while Mara's was behind her. "That is the fundamental purpose of the Dark Side, of the Sith, to breed hate and contempt. There is no reverence for life, only a lust for power and domination. In theory, only the strongest and most powerful rise to become a Sith Master. Palpatine was an excellent manipulator, I can see why he rose to Sith Master and became Emperor."

There was a brief feeling that this talking about Palpatine would make him appear here. After all, his ghost had shown up to haunt Mara in Lawrence. And before that, she'd had to deal with his clone in their own galaxy. It did seem that Palpatine would tend to pop up anywhere and everywhere he possibly could. There was a good reason that his Sith name was Darth Sidious.

"But back to my first point, the good and bad things we have done must be judged separately. So in a way, that makes both sides of us somewhat separate from each other. When I look at you, I can separate what you did as Vader from what you did as Anakin because I need to do that for myself."
