To say they desired the mere pleasure and power from the force is not fair to any force user. Almost all Jedi and Sith are living intrinsically with the force from their earliest memories. For a force sensitive living without the force would be like living without air. If you were given the choice to continue living without breathing, even if you believed that you could go on without air, you would either instinctually continue breathing or succumb to the pain of living without air after having lived with it so long. That is why the choice that the exile made was so rare, the exile was literally one in a galaxy.

She made the Force into a Lovecraftian Horror rather a natural force that binds the Galaxy which was viewed by us. In a horrifying sense she was right, it literally took the birth of Anakin Skywalker to restore balance, but it took several thousand years of war and death to do so, and even then there was still wars between the Light and Dark sides for centuries later.

I believe her philosophy is heavily based on our IRL concept of causality. Physics is the literal force that binds all things to it's will, and if one studies it closely enough, one can imagine differing "Wills" if the numerical constants of physics were altered, a part of the many worlds or multiverse theory is that the constants of physics seem arbitrary, a slight change in gravitational constants or the specific nature of particles could have resulted in a universe of nothing but clouds of hydrogen gas...I suppose the question she was asking all of us would be, "Is there a truth beyond reality, beyond the physical and perceptible, beyond what is set, beyond the universe, in the realm of seeming contradiction due to our reliance on that which imprisons us, of the infinite and null, that is both everywhere and nowhere?" (I think the other two in the Sith triumvirate are cheeky nods to her beliefs and actions. Nihilus and Sion, from the words Nihilism and Scion, a belief in the absence of meaning and a piece of a plant cut off to be planted in new soil or a descendant, a new life out of an old family) (For a more fun interpretation, check the first minute or two of the "History of the world, I guess" video on youtube...)

Kreia was obsessed in becoming 'independent' of the force's will, while still being able to hold its abilities. The jedis follow the force's will, which she despises, and the sith use the force as how they see fit, but are corrupted due to the nature of the force itself - he who does not follow the will of the force becomes immoral, and slowly mental/physically declines due to the natyre of the dark side of the force. Kreia wanted to use the force with the intentions of the sith, while still maintaining health and moral values like the jedi.

When an otherworldly entity imposes its plans onto you, it's stripping you of your free will and forcing you to rely on it for strength.

Imagine this: someone finds a way to completely cut themselves off from the force, meaning even abilities such as force push, force persuasion, and force lightning have zero effect; and they proceed to mop the floor with both Jedi and Sith by unveiling some grander power that doesn't impose its presence on you.

Who's to say that Arren Kae didn't die in the Mandalorian Wars, only to be reborn as "Kreia", much like Anakin Skywalker 'died' on Mustafar and was reborn as Darth Vader. Not to mention that Arren Kae was known for her beauty, and Atton says of Kreia "she may have been beautiful once..."

All the possibility for them being the same are inferred by moments like Arren Kae being called beautiful (and her concept art is GORGEOUS!) and Atton later says Kreia may have been beautiful "once."

When you think about it, Kriea is right to want the force dead. Think about this? Who causes the most trouble, who are the big players in the Star Wars Galaxy? Force-Sensitives. Sidious, Vader, Luke, Yoda, Dooku, Maul, Ahsoka, all of them and more are guided by the force. And they are all reliant on it. Yes, Sidious uses Empire technology but he still uses force lightning and force choke. Vader would have been hated by Kreia as Vader believes nothing is more powerful than the force and Vader is the chosen one. If you cut off the force, There'd be no Force-Sensitives, they would be people with point laser sticks that would gunned down rather easily because they don't have the force to rely on. This means the Galaxy would have been put on an even playing field, relying on techology and other such things. So long as the Force exists, so does the conflicts. It will go to Kylo Ren and Rey, it will go further beyond that probably for eternity. Maybe Kreia has a point: The Force is relied upon too often and both Jedi and Sith are slaves to it.

As such, having different groups have different ideas about the Force, even while confirming its existence, seems logical.

In a way she gave her opinion about anakin. The sith, plagues and sidious, tipped the force to the dark, the force tipped it back in balance. This is what she hated. No matter what beings did, the force did its own thing, creating endless war. She would have hated anakin. He is the embodiment of the problem. Since the beginning, light and dark had warred. Even when the jedi thought they had finally won, banes descendants where warring with the light. Finally the sith where on the cusp of victory and what did the force do, creates anakin.

Somehow ancient early humans ended up in another galaxy and spread to prominence on that technology, and we have been isolated way out here in the Milky Way the whole time.

She kinda reminds me of Madara Uchiha from Naruto. Both wanted to break free from the conflict and powers that their worlds relied on in favor of a greater reality. They both failed but their ambitions did not go unheard, nor were they entirely disproven. In every sympathetic villain, there is an ounce of truth to their beliefs, and truth that must be recognized and embraced so nobody else has to suffer the hardships that they did. The world is messy and while it’s easy to hate a villain, if you peel back the layers you’ll realize that most are just people who were broken and wronged. While their actions aren’t acceptable, you can’t help but feel pity, wishing you could help make their livers better, if just by a little bit.

Just finished my "rebuke the force" play through of kotor2, the way that I wanted to spin the tale was that of an Exile that agrees with kreia, to find freedom from the force to never make a choice that wasn't based on what I wanted I tried my hardest to maintain a grey area but not by making good or evil descisions for the sake of it but by simply making the most human choices, opportunity, selfishness, passion, love, hate, anger, happiness to not be held back by the light or controlled by the dark. To simply be human felt so free. To explore the relationships between characters while not striving for any light or dark cookies but simply making the descisions that I would make as a human disconnected from the force with no incentive. My choices became unpredictable even to me and felt so very natural. It was one of the most enjoyable play throughs iv ever had in that game.

I was thinking of trying that myself, though given my knowledge of the game's design, I feel it would be difficult for me to put that out of my mind and focus on just being a human in the game world. But what you are describing sounds oddly similar to the Zen concept of Mushin, a shortening of mushin no shin or "Mind with no-heart/mind" (Heart/mind is a single character in the Japanese text) a state in which both emotion and thought are removed and one acts in accordance with no pattern, sort of tapping into the nature of the self removed from ego. It's often referenced in regard to martial arts kata, repeating them until they become ingrained to the point of not having to think about them to execute them. That seems to be what you are doing, putting the mechanics of the force and game out of your mind and playing as an IRL human would in the fantasy setting...but that's just my two cents...lol...do with it what you will...

What living being do you know could survive being split in two and not want to fuck with those people in a way to right that wrong?

There is a single major flaw with this analysis, as with nearly every analysis of Kreia: she didn't seek to kill the Force (not during the events of KotOR 2 surrounding the Exile at least). Kreia says it herself just before she wipes Mical's memory (thus, one of the only times we can be sure she was being truthful) - she knew the damage that had been done to the galaxy and the growing echo, and she wanted to stop it. (what she specifically says is to the effect of "I? You think that I wish for death on such a scale? I do not want to win our battle like this."). What Mical does realize (in his mind at least) is that she wants to kill the Exile at the end of the journey to prevent the death of the Force (and thus all life), not to kill it. More importantly, her training of the Exile isn't meant as simply a way to get her to kill the other Sith Lords and find/kill the Jedi Masters. Kreia wanted the Exile to best her as well, so that she could die and the Exile could spread her own teachings of living without the Force to others (as the Exile is everything Kreia wants - someone who can turn away from the Force's will and still live despite being 100% cut off from it). That is her main plan; having the Exile surpass her, prove her wrong, and bring to the table what is essentially a third option when it comes to the Force. The backup plan is killing the Exile, which would also allow for the Force to survive (thus not killing everyone in existence) and for her herself to try and train others in a similar fashion (though she already admits during the course of the game that she feels she can't succeed at that). The third option (neither Kreia/Malachor nor the Exile dying) is the unacceptable failure, as that would lead to the death of all life in the galaxy, forever (a similar fate to that of what Nihlius would bring upon the galaxy if he were never stopped).

I used to blast Bodies by Drowning Pool while doing the Trayus Academy because by that point in the game I was so powerful that I was able to just obliterate them. And the funny thing is, the lyrics actually perfectly match the plot of the game. "Nothing wrong with me" - everyone's been saying there's something wrong with the Exile for the entire game. "You wanted in and now you're here, driven by hate, consumed by fear" - the Jedi who went to war with Revan and Malak, fell to the dark side, and are now there in the Trayus Academy, facing you. And if you're wondering what insane build I used, it was a light-side Guardian / Master build with Force Stasis and Force Storm. Or, as I like to call it, "Freeze 'em and fry 'em." Guardian gets you the lightsaber skills and feats, and Master gets you the Force powers and Force points when you are actually high enough level to use them effectively.

I would actually say Kreia is wrong on this (in fact, I'd say anyone who claims the Force has a will in the first place is wrong). The Force is like the ocean - it has no will, to effort, no desire. Whatever it might seem to have to those who observe it, the reality is that it simply exists, and whatever is done to it/within it will cause ripples that affect other things. Nothing more. In that way, it's actually more terrifying, because no one in that universe can ever really be sure that the Force DOESN'T have a will, because they can't fully see everything involved in it (as it's essentially an infinite ocean).

It took me countless replays of KOTOR 2 as well as even more written and video essays spread across the net for me to really understand Kreia specifically, let alone everyone and everything going down in that one game. It was all so interesting that many of the conflicting philosophies in the game became cornerstones for my own, and I'll definitely point to Kreia as one of the main reasons for why I'm now a Nietzschean ^^ But there's one thing in particular that I came to realise about her in that time which made her much more sympathetic to me, and I'll now quickly summarise it First, I'm glad our host actually understood her motivation at the end of the game, to cut off the entire galaxy, or perhaps even the entire universe from the Force, giving every living creature a chance at taking control of their own life and destiny, whilst also forever neutralising threats to life itself such as Nihilus and Vitiate in one fell swoop. Too many people just take everything she says literally, and thus believe that she actually wants to destroy the Force itself, which is not only impossible (something she's well aware of), but would mean the immediate death of all life connected to it if it wasn't, which is pretty much the opposite of what she wanted, now innit. When she and the Jedi masters in this game talk about the Death of the Force, it's a metaphor, kinda like Death of the Author/Artist, or you know, Nietzsche's most famous and misunderstood quote ever, "God is dead" But I believe that right at the end, she comes up with a sort of back up plan if you will. And that plan is the Exile, Meetra Surik My theory is that at the beginning of the game, she only cared about Surik as a tool to further her plan and fulfill her grand ambition, but the more time she spent with her, discovering more about the unique experiences of her unique life, and the unique opinions and worldviews she developed in response to them, and also being exposed to the deepest parts of her being through her unique ability to create symbiotic Force bonds with anyone, she came to respect her more and more, to care for and become overly protective of her even, all the way to the point of obsessive love. Whether she loved her as a woman, a sister, a daughter, a friend, romantically, platonically, I'll let you decide, but the point is that by the time they gather the Council on Dantooine, Surik is basically the Guts to her Griffith, aka the only thing in the universe who could make her forget her goal for anyone who hasn't read Berserk (yet ;) ) As such, she hopes that Surik will show the Council how bloody stupid they were about everything (seriously, they were worse than the prequels' Council) and convince them to renounce the Force forever. Sadly, it doesn't go that way, and she has to intervene and "kill" the masters to protect Surik, prompting her to improvise a new plan on the spot Now that Surik will undoubtedly view her as a foe, she has to prepare before they can talk again and straighten it out, so she goes and sets the stage for Nihilus' defeat before retreating to Malachor V and prepping everyone there to stand as Surik's final test By this point, things can go one of three ways. Number one, once Surik makes her way to the Trayus Academy's core, she manages to rally her to her ideas, and they work together to bring about the so-called death of the Force. Number 2, Surik refuses this outcome and duels her, and she has to either die or be enslaved to Kreia's will just as Sion was up until recently, something that Kreia would certainly avoid at any cost as she would see option 1 as the greatest loss ever for the galaxy and for herself, and option 2 as the vilest insult to the great warrior that she has shaped Surik into. Which is why if it does have to end in a fight, she secretly hopes for the third outcome, the one where Surik triumphs and lays Kreia to some much deserved rest, with the latter content to know that such a fine warrior and philosopher will take over for her In fact, in this theory, she wants that third outcome to trump the second one so badly if the first one can't be attained that she cheats a little during their duel, not using all her strength and power to give Surik a better chance, but without just letting her win either, as that would just defeat the entire purpose. Kind of like Raoh during his last battle with Kenshiro, if you've read/watched Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star in English) All of that because by this point, her views have shifted from needing to cut off everyone from the Force no matter what to the idea that if there are no more Jedi or Sith, but instead a few people who embody the qualities of each without their flaws (that'd be Surik and her crew/apprentices), then it can be considered as a satisfying version of the death of the Force, since they would have a better chance of creating a truly balanced galaxy where no more death and suffering has to happen all in the name of the will of the Force (we sadly know this doesn't happen between the movies, SWTOR, etc, but I like to imagine a time line where it does). Essentially, if she can't accomplish her initial goal, then she's fine with the alternative of entrusting the future of the galaxy to the only person she still loves, and she's fine letting that person be the one that will decide which way things will go And, I dunno, this makes me like her a whole lot more than before. I guess this kind of love and trust is so rare both in our universe and in theirs that I've become very receptive to it when I see it in a story ^^

The most interesting thing about Kreia is that she can wield a saberstaff with one of her hands cut off. :D

If the Cosmic Force binds together the universe, and the Living Force is responsible for life, then isn't getting rid of the Force itself complete and utter annihilation?

As seen with the vong, life can exist without the force . I think the force just penetrates most life, and the idea that life exists because if the force is just religious propaganda from the Jedi.

It comes across though the game that only those with deep ties to the force will die, such as the Masters in the lightside conclave meeting. So much would die, but plenty would still live. Hell, the exile did it to herself and survivied.

After playing Fallen Order, I don't blame this woman. The second sister was essentially brainwashed, and the only reason the Empire was interested in her is because she was force-sensitive. That's it.

Problem with her philosophy is that wound in the force is not absence of force. Force is still everpresent, in one form or another.

Exactly, it’s not that the Force is absent but that it’s been damaged-like a flickering light due to faulty wiring or trying to walk on broken legs
