I loved Krell as I remember it he was NOT a separatist ,he only disliked clones which gives him and Jedi more depth IMO. Would be a cool addition to the game
You're right! I just watched the episodes today. He was a Jedi Master (but NOT on the council). However, whether his path to the dark side was influenced by only wanting supremacy over the Troopers (and others), or the fact that he noticed a new power in the Republic was coming and that he wanted to be a part of that by betraying the Jedi, or both!? We will never know.
He strongly disliked Clone Troopers and saw that, in his own words, "a new power is rising in the Republic and I want to be a part of it." I also noticed that the camera specifically zoomed up on his eyes and they were bright Sith yellow in the end of season four episode seven (or eight). In other scenes, they were normal colored (dark). When he was in the prison cell he told Rex and company that when the Separatists come and take over the base then they would free Krell and promote him to a high rank in the Separatist faction. So perhaps he initially Feared the Clones, then became Angry with them, then later Hated them and this lead him to sense the dark side presence in the Republic (Sidious) but he obviously didn't know who or what it was, only that it was "rising" and getting stronger.
After all, it was Palpatine who sent Krell to replace Anakin and I think Palpatine did that knowing that Krell was evil and was going to kill many Clones, let alone Anakin's Clones, which would have not only added Krell as a pawn for the Separatists army, but furthered Anakin's Anger and eventual turn to the dark side himself. I mean, Anakin protected his loved ones with all of his might, mind and strength, but he was devastated when he failed them, like his mother. Imagine if Anakin found out his Troopers died under Krells behalf as he joined the Separatists. This would have made Anakin Hate the Jedi Order that much more. Maybe Krell wanting to join the Separatists made him curious to join the Dark. Sorry for the tangeant!
