I hope at some point we get a dark side user in a movie or show, that is just not "AAHA EVIL! EVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!" and more like "Yeah ill lightning or force choke a bitch if i need to, but i wont go too mental and wont just murder people who work for me if they fuck up"

At least Mass Effect's Renegade pretended to be sensible.
Sometimes it was stealthily stabbing an enemy, other times it was being a juvenile asshat to your teammates.

Kind of a shame she was killed rather stupidly by a true Mary Sue (I mean a true one, not a "I don't like the character so Marye Sue") in The Force Unleashed 1, but hey, the game ain't cannon anyway.

Actually, she was killed by Anakin at the Jedi Temple.

Well we almost got that with Kylo in TLJ, but the it performed the biggest copout of 2017 and missed that opportunity.

Though how Jango shot fast enough to kill him still gets to me.

For me, Shaak Ti has always been epic, ever since I saw her in the 2003 Clone Wars cartoon. A total badass.
Ditto to Adi Gallia, I think the new Clone Wars killed her off to easily.
Plo Koon has impressed, it would have been nice to see him in a duel
I think people underestimate most of the Jedi simply because they were not the focus of the movies.

Conversely, I think Kit Fisto is a bit overestimated power wise, simply because he is popular.

That's because most people don't actually bother looking at the extended material, even if it is really good.

I can't count the number of people and reviewers who didn't know who people like Saw were,
or hated Maul in Solo because they thought "The Prequels are spreading" while completely ignorant to the fact the TCW and Rebels exists.

Well, the issue with that is that the Dark Side makes you behave that way, ultimately. It is inherently corrupting and self-destructive. Dooku is probably the closest to what you're looking for, I think. I don't remember him killing his own people needlessly. Other than the time Palpatine made him at least.

It's not their fault they haven't seen what good the rest of the franchise contains (Excluding Rebels, Rebels is terrible).

Or maybe it is, idk.

In the original cut of ROTS she didn't even make it out of the first act.

Ezra is a bad character, time travel is introduced, and the animation never quite reached TCW's quality. Those are just the first complaints that come to mind.

But she is dead? Like confirmed dead? She ain't coming back in some 31st sequel when Disney runs out of ideas or something.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.
