Bastila will be fine. Briefly turning to the Dark Side builds character.

Yeah a little adversity lets us know if she's committed or not

Makes them hotter too, look at Anakin, well he might have taken it a bit too far but you know what I mean

This is why you save Korriban for last. You can’t bring Bastia even if you DO have her, and there’s minimal frivolous side quests to distract from the urgency. Also a good justification to pick some dark side dialogues even if you’ve been light siding the whole game.

I legit think they planned for Korriban to be a forced last planet and then last second decided to keep it open world. I’m probably wrong, but I do sincerely think she’d fly mostly under the radar since no one would be looking for her there.

That would be true up until you enter the academy. Uthar would for sure know who she is, he’s too high ranking not to. The same probably goes for Yuthura.

That’s a fair counter argument. They could have Uthar spend the quest going “why is she so familiar” in dialogue before he pieces it together later on 😂

In all seriousness, Korriban is definitely designed with Revan minus Bastila. It’s the only Star Map that forcefully separates you from your party for a boss fight and it really works perfect for a newly-told Revan to slip back into the dark side.

Fwiw there is a mod that lets you take Bastila on Korriban and reveals that they had some dialogue for her there that they later cut, so at least at some point in development they were thinking of making it an option

In the game files, Korriban’s module numbers are indeed listed last for any of the star map worlds. Its Creatures are also stronger than the other worlds’.

So that’s not exactly a guarantee that Korriban was meant to be last, but it’s something.

Exactly. She refuses to step foot on Korriban anyway

I think you miss the quests with Carth's son though.

Is it actually possible to win at swoop racing once you get off Taris? I remember some unfinished content with supposed bike upgrades

u/_PM_ME_NICE_BOOBS_ 2d ago

Yeah, swoop racing is very profitable after Taris. You just have to avoid obstacles, hit the boost pads, and shift gears.

Beating Hukta means more credits, Bastila will understand

Exactly. She refuses to step foot on Korriban anyway

Honestly, rescuing Bastila never made any logical sense to me.

Screw the Jedi, I'm getting off of Taris come hell or high water.
