Maybe I'm just being over-philosophising, but...

It occurs to me that each of the Sith Lords in TSL could represent on of the Four Horsemen, or a mixture of them.

 

Nihilus would be Famine/Death,

Sion would most likely be War,

and Kreia could represent the Antichrist (what the first horseman is traditionally thought to represent, although some say the first is Pestilence)

 

Any thoughts?

[Kensai]

I'd swap Sion with Nihilus then there horses colour would match also with defining parts of them.

 

Red Horse - War - Nihilus

White Horse - Antichrist - Kreia

Pale horse - Death - Sion

Black Horse - Famine - Sion

 

What I think.

Before, I give my 2 cents what are the four horsemen?

Hmmm.........Nihilus as War? Surely Nihilus would be famine? Famine as in hunger?

[Soogz]

I agree wouldn't NIhilis be famine? Sion should be war, and Nihilus famine.

[Kensai]

Well I only changed them so you could match them to a colour about their person, for instance Kreia's hair, Nihilus's general Red bits and Sion's Paleness. Really though I agree, that they shouldn't be that way.

[chaleur]

I like the model, but you should make the Exile into the fourth. Probably famine.

[Darth InSidious]

Surely the Exile would be death?

Then it would scan;

Kreia - the Antichrist - wants to destroy the force, destroy life in it's entirety, and therefore utterly evil.

Nihilus - Famine - he hungers after all life and feeds on it.

Sion is War - he is the most militant of the three,

the Exile as Death - he brings death to the Jedi regardless of his course of action.....

^^^

That sounds about right. The Exile brings death to the force, Nihilus hungers for power and feeds off of the force, Sion seeks total war and destruction of the Jedi Order, and Kreia wishes to upset the balance of peace through betrayal.

[Renegade Angel]

Who knows, maybe Lucas arts actually based the Lords off the apocalypse Horseman...

[90SK]

I wouldn't be suprised.

[Renegade Angel]

Yeah... Thats Lucas arts for ya'

I notice there are a lot of Biblical references in Star Wars, I won't say many seeing as how I may offend some people who aren't Christian but one I noticed that was rather obvious is the darkside exile is in someways like the anti christ. I mean think about it, he brings deception and death for 7 years (death of the force), corrupts other's wills (influence anyone? )... maybe just a coincidence but if I look things up in Revelations I bet I could find more.

 

*Meh*

[TheGreenGoblin]

Interesting, though I doubt its intentional, the main villains in KoTOR II seemed to be more about extremism than biblical symbolism. Not a bad perspective though.

[The Doctor]

That's an interesting way of looking at the game... I never thought of that. I guess they are like the Horesman. It's far to wierd to be a coincidence.
