The General Star Wars Thread

Knowing that in Legends at least one high ranking Imperial thirsted for Palpy (Ysane "Iceheart" Isard) the “Palpatine fucks” meme is too funny to just disregard with some convoluted not in the movie explanation.

Honestly, I always got the feeling that this was purely to Palpatine having power.

As in: Isaard herself was incredibly power-hungry and Palpatine was the most powerful person in the Empire, which was attractive to her.

There's also that woman who had an obsession with Vader to the point of stealing stuff from him like his cape to keep as love tokens.

And when she eventually went to him, she found him without his helmet leading Vader to immediately kill her with an expression that could indicate either extreme abhorrence or simple pity.

That story was wonderfully disturbing, but yeah, people are attracted to power. Who cares if their face resembles a moldy prune? Isard didn't.

If we include Legends, Malgus (Vader on steroids) had as his wife a beautiful Twi'lek, who was initially a slave.

I'm sure Maul could have gotten a girlfriend, if he'd ever shown interest in it.

*thinks of all the Maul thirst I've seen online*

The dark side of the Force is a path to many abilities...

You forgot the best part:

Malgus killed her after his enemies targeted her and he wanted to eliminate that weakness.

And the pain over her death fueled his power, making her his greatest asset in death.

Malgus, the Vader of The Old Republic.

Tbf Maul is indeed ripped.

Yeah, but then again he has no......you know what I mean

As if that ever stopped people.

Or he's installed- *sliced by lightsaber*

Helps that he has a smooth voice.

I mean they were able to keep Grievous alive, so I presume they have prosthetics for rather unfortunate injuries

I wonder if phantom limb syndrome is a thing in Star Wars with cybernetics, or just that it might feel "weird". They do have sophisticated enough pain sensors that Vader yells in pain when Luke cuts off his robot arm(which in canon may or may not be the one he got when he was still Anakin)

Luke's replacement hand gets tested at the end of Empire and he goes "Ow", which leads me to believe they hook it up to the nervous system via SCIENCE.

So science is prolly advanced enough to give Maul a "prosthetic" if ever desires.

That is why we need grey jedi people, so we can have jedi that are swole by the dark side

One advantage of Vader being a big swan that mates for life is there's no way Vader would be attracted to any not-Padme sentient.

Though usually the Dark Side is a path to ruining good looks.

Vader probably also felt that he didn't deserve love (or kindness in general) at this point.

It depends, in legend he drown in self pity for himself, in new canon he seen to think he can bring padme to life by any means necesry.

I know that VR game is all about Vader trying to revive Padme (and presumably failing) but where else did he try?

Didn't Lucas want Maul to somehow get together with Darth Talon?

I assume that was supposed to be more of a master-apprentice type of relationship.

He wanted them to be friends when he saw their action figures. Whether that would have evolved into anything more we don't know, because the people showing him around immediately pointed out that they were born over a hundred years apart.

I honestly wouldn't mind a story where a cloned Maul goes on an adventure throughout the galaxy with Talon to find himself in the Legacy era.

Seems like fun. Road trip.
