Idk man Lana betraying the player is so out of character. She's the only character that spent 5 years searching for you when everyone else gave up. Moreover as time goes by you can tell her focus shifts from empire or Republic to the alliance, where she is fully loyal and is the only one that would never betray you.

[@LadyAmalthea0615]

Agree. She even tells Ghost Dural that she's learned more by working with the PC than she ever would've by betraying them. Her betraying them would be so out of character unless they make it to where she is unwittingly controlled by Darth Malgus in some way. Even then my PC would forgive her.

She and Darth Marr are two of the few Sith who is open minded to other people and the empire they serve rather than their own power and shown more respect to the Jedi as worthy ally/foe.

They're both oddities in the empire. Both wanted to strengthen the empire as a whole

@@shadowbeast2276 had thier philosophy carried on, the sith empire would still exist.

[@shadowbeast2276]

@@BansheeKing22 I agree. It just might have.and had a strong leader at the top of the power structure. But it might be possible find a way to eliminate the emperor's position all together & have the power disimininsted to the council. But that would cause its own problems I suspect. But as we know the very nature of the dark side is conflict, greed, betrayal, etc

[@Theinen84]

​@@shadowbeast2276it actually doesn't tho. Only the Jedi and Sith split it into "sides". Other civilizations that are Force Sensitive see it as a whole, from Rakatans to Zakuulians. When the ancient Jedi first started tapping into the Dark Side, it was done by their human members. Many of the Aliens couldn't tap into it the same way. So they forbid it and labeled it Dark. The humans refused to turn away from greater understanding of the Force. They were labeled Dark Jedi and war declared on them. The survivors fled. They were hunted relentlessly across the galaxy until they found Korriban and the ancient, original Sith. Those Sith focused more on the Dark Side and the Dark Jedi used the Force to learn their secrets, mingle and start to build a civilization there. The ancient Jedi found them and attacked them again. So they fled from Korriban. However they continued to return and fight for it because they wanted their home back. That's why they hate aliens and their code, and very center of civilization is about not being oppressed. Its also why even aliens can rise and become Lords and Darths. They have to prove themselves. The message just got muddled with time. What we see is just history being written by the victors. The Jedi are not, and, according to Lucas, were never meant to fully be the "good guys". They created their own worst enemy and have attacked and annexed many civilizations, even infiltrating the Sith and constantly waging war on them. For most of their conflicts, the Jedi attacked the Sith, not the other way around. If you didn't follow the Jedi philosophy, you were treated as a hostile. Its kinda even shown with the Voss. I like this as it not only fleshes things out, but makes sense how a civilization like the Sith could become as advanced as they are, if they were just a bunch of lunatics. I like the touch that you have to actually piece it together because no one work comes out and states this, as if the Jedi have destroyed the truth lol. Even in SWTOR, if you play the Consular story, they learn a lot of that truth, starting right on Tython. Then, as mentioned, Voss. You piece together that whole story and the Sith were chased to Voss and ignored them. They were all Gormak then. The Jedi came for them and used the Gormak as tools against the Sith, forcibly changing them and making them Force Sensitive and sending them as fodder against the Sith (very light side no?) Those who got the power became Voss. Those who refused to fight another's war became Gormak. Voss was one of the rare planets balanced in the Force before that, and its people unified. The Jedi created a rift that created Sel Makor, which is a major Dark side entity that will slowly devour the planet. The Jedi saw this and fled, abandoning the Voss. It's prophesied that the Gormak will leave Voss, but the Voss no longer know that they are Gormak (even their designs bely this). Sel Makor will eventually devour that entire planet and it's the Jedi fault.

Lana is wife, Lana is life. She's the best companion in the entire game. If she does betray the player (which I hope is not going to happen), then it's just plain butchering of a well written character. I mean, will they go through all this trouble to make her the best character in the game, loyal to the alliance and the player, just for her to betray you in the end?

[@elvinsmatthew]

Unless it's a similar story to Theron Shans betrayal.

[@rumpleforeskin833]

Because it’s more impactful than a betrayal you can see coming from a mile away or getting betrayed by someone you met 2 missions ago. Not saying that her betraying you is the right choice tho

[@raistormrs]

@@rumpleforeskin833 we already had two major betrayals, therons betrayal didn't work well with the players since it was such a weird one, though it was not as bad as the betrayal of scorpio, which went down terribly, especially with players that had fully raised her up and equipted her with expensive skins... i still think they took her out because of silly sexism complaints of her having breasts, which is also why the gemini droids don't have any. well, point is, i doubt they think three is the charme in this case, it's more like been there done that.

[@charlestownsend9280]

Lana betraying the player would be interesting and make it even with her counterpart but I also think that it would ruin what makes lana unique, the fact that she has a different take on the philosophy of the sith and views all knowledge and power as useful, rather than only that which conforms with sith orthodoxy, is one of the things that make her such a good character, making her betray the player would make her turn into another generic sith. I'd rather they didn't go down that path and keep her as she is, someone like marr, a sith who if given the opportunity is open minded enough to actually change the empire for the better while also adhering to the sith ideology but due to the very nature of the sith and war she can't do that.

[@BradentonSlick]

@charles townsend Agreed.

[@ericpaunovic3579]

what you define as interesting i define as heart breaking i'd cry if i had to kill her man

[@ericpaunovic3579]

@UCbVrOO6dGsFg5NQTexZ61_Q i stopped at the start when i realized you don't get the sith, its clear in this game that thats not point of the sith, only domination is true goal, whether that domination is through tyranny or being good is up to the sith, just like how its up to the jedi on will they be good or bad, jedi are worse than sith in many aspects and they aren't goodie two shoes, in fact one of reasons sith and jedi hate each other is becuse jedi commited literal holocaust on the sith species, speak of the cruelity and killing innocents huh also its jedi who abolish things like love and actual care by not having emotions (which result in cases like satele that can't help it then have a kid and then don't bother raising him) for sith its about having emotions and being passionate, in swtor you can see many different siths and these two things they imply differently while one will hate everything and force choke someone for looking them into eyes some will genuinely love others, the sith in game often have families and don't shun it unlike the jedi, and when it comes to passion love can be fuel for it as much as hate this isn't just my interpretation the game takes this course as well in swtor post nathema DLC Empire (if you choose their side) is very very different than vitiates one, it transforms into something better becuse they finally realize that infighting only helps the republic, of course theres still infighting and there always might be but there are smart siths who realize that its choking them from inside and that shunning non force users and non humans isn't the best approach so empire starts slowly opening up, marr and lana were just first of these "new" siths.

[@90skidcultist]

Individualism, selfishness, personal freedom at all costs (even at your expense), cunning, dominating the weak, cruelly punishing failure, replacing leadership when you are clearly stronger or more cunning, and betrayal, is the way of the Sith. Otherwise, what`s the point!? To say otherwise, is to go against the doctrine and the very purpose of why the Sith Order exist. They are not trying to be a dark mirror of the Jedi Order, nor is Lana. Can`t say the same for Marr. Everyone is supposed to be in it for themselves, while also trying to somehow destroy the Jedi order at the same time. Not wanting the Sith to betray when it is in their best interest, is like not wanting the Jedi to protect the innocent. However, I doubt that Lana would betray just for the hell of it. She would do so if she thought she could do a better job or if you F up majority. She`s a Sith, not a Dark Jedi.

[@ItsukaShidoandMrAedric]

Man, imagine that bro. Our character would go on full Darth Vader with that kind of betrayal especially when you proposed to her, seeing your fiancee betraying oof my God and especially on a Sith character? Well shit, the Galaxy will burn.

[@Movitar5576]

Thank you for amplifying my knowledge about my fav romance companion. I like Lana for her pragmatism, she is what every Force user should be. You can serve the light or the dark if you want, but not blindly walk the path that you have chosen because you believe the moral compass of it is undisputed. Lana sees the advantages of being light hearted in some aspects of war and the Force. Another point in her favor is that regardless of your choices, she follows you 'till the end of the line and that is what made her my #1 romance companion. Spectacular video as always Sam, hope you do more videos about companions in the future. May the Force be with you pal! :D

[@aniruddhbhatkal1834]

Lana is my absolute favorite Star Wars character. I write fanfic, and she's more the main character than the Outlander. And yeah, after Theron during the stupid Nathema arc, I'm expecting Bioware to give Lana a traitor arc, and the option to dismiss her. And I hate it (I hated Theron's possible death)

[@Lasherluke]

Lana is the perfect example of the sith done right and prove you can be one without being pure evil.

[@voidseeker4394]

You can't have a stable superpower/society that consists almost entirely of chaotic evil characters that are only loyal to themselves. That simply makes no sense. People like Lana make it actually plausible and believable.

[@kevincalgta]

I believe that Lana Benito was an important part of the alliance just as Theron Sean was they were both vital to keep the alliance together and then my honest opinion it’s disappointing that Darth Marr was killed. He would’ve made a good companion if he was still alive, but even as a forced ghost alongside grandmaster situation, they would give the player very good advice on how to defeat, and bring down the eternal empire.

[@LadyAmalthea0615]

I would've loved to have had Darth Marr as a companion, even if as a force ghost.

[@cosmyctaylorsversion]

Definitely the best character in the game, I find it pretty hard not to romance her on characters with committed relationships😅. My JK trusts her with her life, even though Lana got a certain somebody got kidnapped 5 years ago, but Theron should really let that go....

Theron and Lana was the best duo in all of SWTOR. Both of them were extremely skilled and has respect for each other. I had only wished that lorewise they had sort of made Lana more powerful because she was exceptionally cunning. She could have even been more powerful than Darth Marr

Then what would be the point of the player character? The player is already playing a side character to all of Bioware's original creations after the class stories. The player character is basically Vaan from FF12. Some random nobody's perspective that the player can view the stories of the actual main cast.

[@balazsvarga1823]

She makes a great pairing with a Sith player character. Especially to the more brawny warrior, with her brains. Nul is likely not related to Lana, and I don't think she is getting replaced. Too much fan favourite.

[@legodoc1853]

I have a personal head canon that Lana Beniko is the anscestor to Kenobi. I know many people will likely disagree with that, but I see too many similarities in their personalities and how "Beniko" is an anagram of "Kenobi"

[@SWCentral]

It wouldn't be the first time the Devs have done something like this. If you keep a close eye on NPC names, crew skill mission text and other random bits, you're likely to see a few things that oddly look like references or anagrams. It's neat! Best example is "Hun Duo" who you can find in the cantina in Hutta, sitting across from a Rodian.

[@AnodyneJS]

I just don't see how she could be Darth Nul, unless there was some major falling out between Nul and Vitiate at some point. The architect of the Children of the Emperor becoming so dead set on thwarting him at every turn would be a a major reversal. I mean Lana, perhaps more than anyone, has been on a personal crusade to end the various incarnations of Tenebrae for years. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a connection, but I have my doubts about a betrayal at this late stage.

[@SWCentral]

We will soon see... Maybe if the devs get to work xD

[@DogmaticNonsense]

I think Darth Nul was already dead at this point and then scrubbed from the Empire records. Something did happen between her and the Emperor, which is why she was scrubbed from the records, its just not specified what exactly. Darth Nul had also trained the other sons and daughters of the Emperor, which had been decades in planning, maybe more than a few actually if you think about how a head council member of the Jedi was a 'Son', so she'd be even older, as the architect of the 'Children of the Emperor' and the 'handler' of the 'children'. Lana wasn't even born at that point, she could have been a child, but not 'the Mother' of the 'Emperors Children'. While I can assume her grudge against the Emperor came from his betrayal over the Sith, the fact he killed Marr, Lanas master and teacher, and a few more reasons most likely. So I assume Darth Nul died around the time Kira escaped DK and a few years before Kira was found the be a Jedi. That timing adds up, considering many Sith new of her at the time even though her info was scrubbed, and she became a myth around that era.

[@gelbphoenix]

I could think that the Beniko family could have a connection to Darth Nul but I don't think that Lana will be betraying the Alliance Commander.

[@banane2279]

I don't think Lana could every betray the Alliance Commander unless there is a damned good reason. If you romance her on pub side, on Yavin she will tell you she follows two passions: the Empire and you, in that order. The faction she serves will always be put above anything else. In lieu of the events of Kotfe/Kotet, she breaks away from the Empire again to eliminate a galaxy wide threat and finds her place in the Alliance more worthwhile. So, her loyalty to a faction and passion for the pc merge into one. Lana would have to change fundamentally for a traitor arc to ever happen, or find a good enough reason to leave the Alliance which is really just the PC. Even non-romanced Lana wouldn't make much sense. She's too lawful of a character

[@gelbphoenix]

Also that what Lana said on Yavin IV was before Zakuul attacked the known galaxy. After the Nathema Incident Lana also said to the Player that no matter what side the player chooses Lana will follow them.

When my Jedi told Valkorian that Marr was better than him she meant it. Marr would've made a good leader for the Empire. Lana is a lot like Marr. She's pragmatic and open-minded but also dangerous. You can even warn Kovach on Ziost that though Lana may seem like the nicest Sith alive that if she finds out he's SIS she will not hesitate to kill him, or worse. Lana later tells Ghost Dural that she's learned more about the force from the PC by working with them than she ever would by betraying them. By this statement alone making her betray the PC would be out of character. I really hope they don't make her into another run of the mill bloodthirsty Sith by betraying the PC for power. In my opinion that's the only reason the Empire continues to lose to the Republic. They are too busy in-fighting and betraying each other.

[@RedXlV]

That's always been one of the biggest things that causes the Sith to lose, the in-fighting and betrayals.

[@mmorpger0558]

Yeah, my theory is Darth Null went into stasis due to some falling out with the Sith Emperor in the past. When she came out of it, she maybe took on the name Lana Beniko and joined the Sith Academy, getting a fresh start in some clone body. Either that or Null possessed her. Her goal seems to be working in the shadows for her own advancement and power base with the player. It might be to start experimenting again without worry of interference from the Empire or the Jedi.

[@GoldLove21]

My theory is Lana is Darth Nul's descendent, and was born from careful force manipulation/ genetic selection. Lana's heritage and family may start pressuring her to live up to her ancestors goals by betraying the outlander/ taking over the alliance

[@MrDarkenson]

Her being Darth Null doesn't add up. She is simply too young to be her. Darth Null created Children of the Emperor. Beings we've encountered in Jedi Knight's and Consular's stories. She was instructed by Overseer Harkun who wasn't that old himself and certainly younger than Syo Bakarm Jedi Master on the Jedi Council and First Son of the Emperor, pushing his middle age. She would either have to be roughly the same age as Darth Marr or like Darth Zash, experimenting on extending her life and thus maintaining her youthful appearance across the years and even forging her a new identity, and re-entering Sith ranks from scratch as Lana Beniko.

I think the Sith Code was created not to pursue power for power's sake but to pursue power to have the freedom to explore the Force and to survive in a Galaxy filled with conflict.

"Who can say what you're truly capable of, when you live in a shadow cast so long?" "Who indeed?"

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet 🎂

[@JynxedKoma]

My speculation is that she's actually an escort and that's how she's gotten as high as she is today in the story. She doesn't give/do the girlfriend experience (GFE), but she does give/do the Sith Experience (TSE).

[@SWCentral]

Hahaha 🤣

[@jimmikulsky4810]

I love Lana Beniko.

[@matthewk122]

I like her and she’s my Jedi character’s love interest and wish old republic make comic Lana and Outlander

[@cosmyctaylorsversion]

Even if the devs turn Lana against us my JK who's married to her will be like "That's fine, just, let me obliterate the republic first...."

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

Lana is best girl in the whole history of the franchise.

[@allsuper9268]

I really hope she doesn’t turn out to be evil it would make her so much less interesting

[@bruhwarrior6583]

I think we may have already met Darth nul in the game

[@gideonhorwitz9434]

Damn Lana had Haarkon as a overseer too she has a lot in common with the inquisitor that I fist thought depending if ur version of the inquisitor isn’t a blood thirsty maniac Do we actually know who Lana’s master was her relationship with Dark Arkus was more of a advisor/secretary not apprentice.

[@SWCentral]

I actually don't know who her master was... Good question though, if an answer ever comes I'll think of this comment and come back!

[@justcast1429]

Since we can propose to Lana I would love to meet her parents if they’re still around

[@darkstorm5388]

Best girl hands down

wise not blinded by rage unlike %90 of other sith's im glad my character married her :3

[@cruzeal9334]

She's my wife in swtor

[@a.m.9993]

If only the developers would put as much effort into some of the interesting NPCs they love to kill off as they put into Lana Beniko's character. 😪

Did the thumbnail get changed? Could we please get a link to the source image?

Yeah it got changed and there is no source unless the artist shared it on twitter I don't recall... Anyways the artist made this at my request

Shadow Disciple set :) the head piece is the Kallig legacy gear though.

[@richbattaglia5350]

Clever.

[@phillipchappell6013]

I don't think She is Null. I think that would piss off alot of players. I think they woould want to avoid a repeat of Theron again.
