This was my guess:

Maybe because his strength also flows through his sister, but after she was dead, killing the father would be his nundoing too (as we saw)

I Concur :plokoon:

After she dies, the son loses all interest in killing the father, So I am betting on this.

I just thought the Son was completely oblivious that his power was dependent on the Father. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Son never mentioned it, and while the Father said something about it to Anakin, he didn't explicitly describe that detail in the presence of the Son until right before he stabbed himself.

The son had to have known because he begged his father not to kill himself.

Or he knew that without the Daughter or Father he would just be consumed by his own hatred.

Echo died! nooooooo!

You probably should put this into hide tags my friend.

Spidey is right.

But ontopic.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ECHO NO!!!!!!!!
One of my dad's and my favorite clones. Along with all of the members of domino squad.

Fives looks sad and depressed. So am I.

This miniseries is dragging on to be honest. Two parts would have been plenty for the Citadel.

Darth_Spiderpig wrote:So, we 've got Hevy blown up on Rishii, Echo now blasted in the Citadel, 99 on Kamino (I consider him part of Domino Squad, so leave me alone ), that means Fives is the only one alive now?

-Droidbait: lived upto his name, pwned by commando droids on rishi.
-Cutup: Rishi eel owned him.
-Hevy: Sacrificed himself in a bad@$$ way in the rishi outpost
-99: Went out like a true brother on kamino
-Echo: Went out on the citadel trying to save the shuttle.
-Fives: Still kicking, fighting on, but sad about the loss of his brothers

I thought this latest episode was very enjoyable.

I love how that scene was executed where that unfortunate clone trooper was bisected.

They mucked with canon again but it made for a good story. Kind of a depressing trilogy, actually.

I thought it was pretty well-done. Anyone catch the Episode III shout-out in the space battle?

Also, Anakin jumping on STAPs - it happens a lot. Even Obi-Wan got in the game this episode.

That was part of it, but I meant the larger scene - the episode mirrored the clone in the exploding turret flying out accompanied by the Wilhelm. The series has used it a couple of other times as well: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wilhelm_scream

How is that screwing with the cannon, thats called a homage.
Anyway, thought it was a good conclusion to the three-parter.
Spoiler

He's talking about the death in the episode. Since every two-bit writer for SW books has explored the full life and backstory of every Jedi shown in the movies, it's fairly impossible not to screw with canon to make any kind of story.

Oh, that, and we are talking in non-spoiler speak
George has a overruling over any writers "cannon" he is the lord and master of his universe, he will do what he wants with it, and 99% of the time I am okay with that.
I also do not count most comic books as cannon either. No offense to any dark horse fans.
Note: You cant have every single jedi survive, and you can not just keep making new jedi like Nehdar Vebb from S1 to die instead. Keep this rule of thumb,
Were there seen in Star Wars Episode 3 ROTS?
No?
They will die.
