#colonel thorus

In Thorus’ defense, he is behaving way more rationally than 90 percent of our foes in the game. (Do these mooks not know who we are???)

The text cannot properly convey the sheer fear in Thorus’ voice, here. He is TERRIFIED of Elara, and of what she knows.

Likewise, Elara expresses overwhelming contempt for him. I think their previous encounter was very personal, beyond what’s been conveyed here.

Indirectly, Elara is telling us exactly why she defected, without pounding us with exposition.

This is a lie. Just a few days ago, she killed those “cyborg civilians” on Coruscant.

This.

Elara Dorne is arguably the most light-side companion in the game. I’ve played Trooper enough times to tell you that she toes the LS line damned hard. 

But this creep? She advises you to kill him in cold-blood. 

This is intriguing.

Dorne and Jorgan are the two most LS characters in the Trooper story. Its very telling that they both approved.

And then later...

Cold.
