I’m the only one who feels extremely bad for what Kallus did to Lyste…? Like, I understand the reasons… Plus here he actually acted as a real ISB asshole but somehow I’m still disappointed in him kinda… Lyste was only the same thing as he was not long ago… A simple imperial doing his best for the Empire. He wasn’t a particularly bad guy, kinda chatty and friendly and enthusiastic… And betraying him like this… Without any real sign of sorry moreover…
The Rebels concept on imperials obviously is “if you’re an imperial we can treat you as unfairly and as cruel as we want because we’re good and you’re the bad guy and you don’t count as a human being”
Probably I’m the only one who has mixed feelings about this whole “Fulcrum” thing… Don’t get me wrong, I like Kallus being good at heart after all (I long before The Honorable Ones headcanoned him like that) I just never imagined him wanting to hurt other imperials, since he knows exactly not everyone is ‘evil’ in the Empire, they’re just people fighting for a cause or think of it as a simple job for which they get paid and that’s all. And seeing him smiling when possibly hundreds of troopers just got blown up who he fought alongside for years… You would think he feels torn, or feels remorse or something… But he SMILES?? Seriously one single day spent with a rebel made him turn from being a loyal imperial believing in their cause deeply to a “buuh every imperial should die” traitor without even any struggle…? Honestly I’m not satisfied with the writing and character development of Kallus at all… Give him a redemption arc, go ahead you’ll make me real happy just… put some real effort in it? And have some quality writing…? Please…?
I’m real sorry to say this but I actually miss the good old times Kallus was a real imperial yet with a heart. *sigh*
