Still haven't seen the film, got curious enough to read the book. Having done so, I stand by the above. And I say this as a serial redeemer of villains: Fuck that guy. I hope he dies in a fire. Should've done already, actually, but lightsiders always blink at the wrong moments.

Less pithily, a serious question for those who have seen the picture: Is this guy somehow... I don't even know, somehow significant on film? Because in print he's just Darth Morrissey without the undercurrent of wit. (So, Darth Robert Smith, then.) Colossally unimpressive. Which kind of pulls everything else down, frankly, because everything's happening because of him and he's just... not worth any of that happening.
