Hey, first time through the game, and after Taris, I ended up on Dantooine. Not sure if I remember having an option about that. Are you forced (okay, pun works!) to go to Dantooine, or can you go somewhere else first? And if so, is going to Dantooine next the best way to go?
You're forced. It's your only destination, at that point.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
