icebox15 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Whats the deal with making all the sith lords grey and rotten looking. I mean, the only reason Palpatine was like that was cause of his force lighting that got shot back at him and Anakin that way cause of the fire burning his skin. I really don't see why all the sith lords are being portrayed as "rotting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I would guess it's because they are using negative energy over time, which destroys their pretty appearance. I think it sucks.

Jinny Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Well the darkside does zap the living force out of ya, so that could be it. Or the darkside makes you age five times faster than normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Actually, that was his face. Though the did lightning cause some burns, for the most part, it's Palpatines actual face. I've heard that before, and I still don't understand it. If the Force (DS or not) can allow one to change one's appearance that drastically (as in, disguise the corpse like features into that of a kindly looking older man), why wouldn't he use it to imitate other people? There's no such indication that I've ever noticed in the films (never read the books and such) that the Force allows for this kind of transfiguration morphing of cells ability. C. Lee wasn't all funky looking, neither was Maul (well Maul was weird looking, but I thought that was simply because of his race) - yet Anakin starts going all bad-skinned and yellow-eyed in a few hours - seems inconsistent.

Palpatine always insisted that jedi did it ( aka deflected force lightning) so no one is wondering his now different appereance, plus it gives him sympathy points, and jedis are even more hated because they dared to attack so brutally against beloved Supreme Chancellor edit: Darth Maul has yellow eyes. Dooku however isn't changed. Maybe they just thought that Dooku was cool enough already Edited July 22, 2006 by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

Bao-dur at his max darkside capacity only have portions of his face coloured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWUSS Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Then how does Kreia maintain that grandmotherly look up until Malachor V? DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright.

Rosbjerg Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 if the force is the very energy of life, it would seem quite natural (imho) that using it negatively or tapping in to "anti-life", if you will, causes some effects .. just as Jedis could possibly look younger than they are since they are tapped into the positive..

LadyCrimson Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) While it's occasionally inconsistently dealt with, I don't think the idea that the DS would have some unsavory result on appearance is unreasonable. You can always make something up that sounds plausible in terms of the story-world. Mostly I just get hung up on the Palpatine real/not real face thing. As to Maul/Bao Dur - is that cannon? Just cause bao-dur's face changed doesn't mean Maul's did. Kinda like CS vs Anakin. :D I know Zabrack's are generally thought of as having mellower skin shades but I've also heard Maul's markings referred to as tatoos - ie that his skin might've been red to begin with and then he did the black tattooing, like in this comic rendering (hehe) : http://starwars.wikia.com/images/3/3f/YoungDarthMaul.jpg http://starwars.wikia.com/images/7/76/Dart...ngHisTatoos.jpg *tosses up hands* but I wouldn't know. :D Edited July 22, 2006 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Rosbjerg Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 maybe it because they never change clothes or bathe? I mean really evil guys always wear the same robes or set of malicious clothes Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xard Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Mabe they have multiple pairs of evil badass robes? Like Mickey Mouse has propably over hundred pair of those trousers/whatever. Pants?

Rosbjerg Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Bad guys are to evil to strip down and change clothes .. even if it is completely identical ... but how many "+5 to all attributes" suits can you possibly own?

What you see in KotOR and KotOR II are overused archetypes. One's biological repercussion may noy exhibit any likeness to that of another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxen83 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Which would vary between for various DS force users. Vader's face looked pale. Palpatine's face was pale and aged looking, much more wrinkly than Vader's. Maybe due to a strong belief in dark side of the force. Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy.

Accelerator Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I do feel the KOTOR 2 DS transitions were way overdone. Though the DS is taxing on the body, it should not manifest itself so quickly in the way K2 shows it. If we notice Vader from Ep3, we can see that he looks almost the same as his normal self, save the Sith eyes and a really angry look. that should be an adequate example of a transition to the DS... As for Bastila, she probably cheated the dark side of the force with the beauty that so many of her fans love, in order to maintain her good looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
