Well, I'm pretty sure most of us here realise that yuhzong vong ain't gonna be in the next KotOR, we are just discussing "what if" situation.

yes, i like the sight of the YV, they're very ugly. They would be the 1 after perfect bad guys, i still think the Sith as ultimate bad guys would be the most fitted, when you go light side at least, and when you go DS, the ultimate bad guys are the jedi. i kind of hated that when i was DS, in kotor 1 and 2, i still had to slay Sith.

I definately agree that the force changes jedi who fall to the drak side. There are far to many examples in the series to ignore. Besides isn't that the concept behind kotor 1. Revan and Malak were great jedi knights but changed into mass murderers when they fell, a process that started during the mandalorian wars. Also in kotor 2 doesnt kreia make some kind of comment about the exile (not to mention visas and the other jedi) being changed by the death of malachor v (and osus and katar etc. etc. etc.)?
I do not know how detailed thrawn was on the vong. I remember something in one of the books on this subject though. Two officers were talking and one asked the other what thrawn would have made of the vong to which the other replied 'minced vong'. I dont remember the details of the conversation (or what book it was in) so I don't remember if they were speaking hypothetically or not.
The new authors of the NJO series could barely keep it together. In one book jaina hurled lighting at some vong hitting them squarely and in another jacen tried it and the book clearly stated the lightning could not hit them because they had no 'anchor' in the force. Not to mention zonoma sekot itself. At first it was simply the living polanet zonoma sekot, then without explanation it became some sort of being with two distinct 'personalities' if you will. Zonoma the planet itself and Sekot the central intelligence.
I've tried to read the books after the vong story out of sheer loyalty to star wars, but I just cant make myself get past the first 30 pages in the next book. I doubt if I will read any more of the books, but I will certainly play kotor 3 when it comes out.
