Exactly, Garrett couldn't win. Plus, humanity would be destroyed if the Dark Project happened.

Exactly, it is two halves of the same thing. You stopped one side of the conflict, now prepare for rough problems on the other side.

Only one problem with your theroy. The Trickster needed a flesh eye. I guess the Trickster thought Garrett's was as good as any. As for not killing him after he got the eye, that is a good question. I guess he forgot small details when concentrating on the Dark Project. The Hammers even say that even though he is a god, he was not perfect.

Hmm, the lightsaber's ability increases with time? Good, that was one thing that seemed buggy and I couldn't figure out. So I am guessing it is some ratio thing.

Now the only problem is getting force stars with my lack of finding all secrets. Maybe finishing a level does it too, haven't beat level 4 yet as I said (just was on a long playthrough of SS2, I feel I am very close to the end). It is weird how SS2 and Thief, though having very similar mechanics, create very different experiences. To me, Thief is more skill based than SS2 though, even though SS2 is reputed to be harder. SS2 demands resource management (which is controlled by random drops), upgrade management (which is based on completing objectives), and speed (based on upgrades in certain areas). Thief requires timing (which is based on player input), concealment (which is based on the player's monitoring of light and sound), and keen eyesight (based on player's ability). Thief is constant input, while SS2 is a lot of randomness. Hack a crate and it might explode or open. Upgrade stuff to get to open more crates safely. What prevents SS2 from being terrible is that it isn't a complete lack of player input, the skills just modify the player's abilities like a Dispersion Pistol powerup would (except for skils like Hack and such).

This hype for Thief 2 is exciting! I can't wait to actually see it again, to relive lost memories while also being able to finally get a sense of what was going on. I remember always being disappointed when I was suddenly thrust somewhere with no explaination. Now I finally will get one!
