#gemini 16

So Vitiate 'suddenly' cared so much about the Eternal Throne because he saw droids as not sentient, therefore not part of the force, therefore the Fleet is a source of unrivalled power that isn't subject to the Force's whims, therefore he wont be a victim of the force seeking balance. That's generally how it goes, right?

What could Revan, Vitiate, or even the Outlander never do? Escape the will of the Force, no matter how hard they push back against its current.

The Jedi can become one with the Force, and the Sith can use it to break their chains. But they're all still ultimately subject to its whims. Jedi can be whisked back as force ghosts to serve its chosen ones, Sith can remain bound to the mortal world.

The Gemini frequency is the droid equivalent of the Force. Yeah, they can be granted free will, but it can just as easily be taken away. Jut as the force grants its power at such a steep cost. Gemini 16 supposedly broke free of the frequency, but could still hear her sisters, so she was still connected to it in some way.

So she made contact with an actual droid god, and had the frequently permanently destroyed. She wouldn't live to experience that true freedom, but she'd ensured no droid would ever become a slave to it again. She did what Vitiate always wanted to do, and she did it by destroying what Vitiate viewed as true power.

And then they gave us PH4-LNX! whose an independent person with her own passions and ideals and struggles!! even if they seem small to us!!! which just proves my point more!!!!!
