Order 66 Chapter 9 My Beloved
Okay, I can talk about an Order 66 thing now.
I think Niner is one of the only characters in the series we see able to go toe-to-toe with Kal, and I wanted to talk about it. That’s it, that’s the post.
Here’s why:
The chapter header is from THE biggest manipulator in the Star Wars franchise, about how he does what he does. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it leads into the chapter where Kal Skirata, self-confessed manipulator extraordinaire, is forced to face actual consequences for just a few of his shittier actions. The chapter is supposed to be about Darman vs Kal Skirata, but actually the confrontation that interested me the most was the one he had with Niner.
