@JenXFreeman @stuartpstevens If he changes his tune to ask for a pardon, I'd guess that wouldn't happen until after Inauguration Day, since up until that point he'd be presumably trying to organize the next coup attempt.
@TheFirstOkiro Him becoming a Jedi would've been boring. The rebellion? 100%: that makes sense for the character, and is interesting and compelling. If he was *also* a Jedi? The trilogy already had one character who didn't know her origins learning them in the course of becoming a Jedi.
