Line #13 YMMV/DarkDisciple


1	* BrokenBase:
2	** The Ventress/Vos romance, besides those that shipped the two with others, Ventress with Obi-wan and Vos with Khaleen (his ''Legends'' love interest), [[StrangledByTheRedString some just found that the romance dragged on the story]].
3	** Killing off [[spoiler:Ventress was very divisive, with many feeling that her death was cheap and that she should have lived due to being a more prominent and popular character than Vos, while others felt that her embracing the light in death properly ended her story arc]]. Evidently, Creator/GeorgeLucas and Creator/DaveFiloni couldn't agree either; [[spoiler:Filoni wanted another Ventress/Ahsoka team-up, but Lucas was never swayed by his proposals, and Filoni thought about having Ventress appear in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance'', having been mysteriously revived at some point and now in old age, though her death was changed to being NotQuiteDead by the time she appeared in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch''.]]
4	** The previous two points could be summed up in those who liked the storyline and those who would have preferred Ventress' and Quinlan' personal arcs to have followed the comics.
5	* ContinuityLockOut: ''Dark Disciple'' relies on the events that occurred in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' in order for the readers to understand the general events of the novel.
6	* IKnewIt: [[spoiler:Ventress' death; most fans had long since guessed that, since she was the only major character on the Separatist side not in some way present in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', she wasn't going to live through this book.]]
7	* MoralEventHorizon: Dooku's committed plenty of atrocities throughout the Clone Wars, but the massacre of the Mahran race just for being Republic citizens may as well be one of the most abhorrent things he's explicitly done in the Canon. It's even considered as such in-universe, as this act is what prompts the Jedi Council [[GodzillaThreshold to finally consider assassinating him]] (something that [[MartialPacifist Jedi]] are traditionally against).
8	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many, many ''ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic'' fans wouldn’t view this as canon if you paid them. This is due to how the book radically alters the characters and storylines surrounding Quinlan, Ventress, and their particularly popular Legends {{Story Arc}}s.
9	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
10	** Aayla Secura, who used to be Quinlan Vos' Padawan, and even claimed that he had been like a father to her, is completely absent from the novel, and isn't even mentioned. This is probably in part the result of Golden's research extending only as far as watching ''The Clone Wars'', where Aayla doesn't give the name of the master she's talking about, and their relation was only confirmed in the episode guide for "Jedi Crash".
11	** Similarly, when the Council contemplates executing Vos without fair trial, they bring up Barriss Offee's treason as an example of them having grown too placate. The fact that during the same unfortunate affair, they readily sent Ahsoka without fair trial to the hands of the Republic Military Tribunal and very nearly to her death in an eerily similar manner to the one proposed, isn't brought up at all.
