![]() ![]() King Ommin of Onderon was a proficient Sith sorcerer for most of his life, and the dark side held him under its decaying influence until he eventually became incapable of movement and needed support from a cyborg exoskeleton in order to survive. In time, the corruption could go beyond mere cosmetic details and directly impair physical abilities. Something like this is extremely rare and as far as we know, only ever happened to Nihilus: One interesting case is Darth Nihilus, who was totally consumed by the Dark Side and became some sort of Dark Side poltergeist. Although after enough time had passed and you fall far enough to the Dark Side, it would probably appear as if the old you was indeed dead and replaced by some evil entity. Revan also explained that while the light side and Jedi teachings were devoted to preventing physical change through the Force, the dark side changes had to be accepted by the Sith, or they would fail due to their attempts at moderation.Īs for completely hollowing you out and replacing you with a demon of some kind, that doesn't happen. Darth Bane explained that the reason for this physical degradation was because flesh and bone lacked the endurance to channel the immense power of the dark side indefinitely. As one immersed oneself deeper within the dark side of the Force, its malevolent power took a toll on the body. The dark side, much like a strong, addictive narcotic, affected not only the mind of the user but the appearance as well. The Dark Side does affect you both mentally and physically, in many ways it is like an addictive drug in that the more you use it, the more you change be become dependent on it: In Buffy they explain how people that turn into Vampires lose their soul and it's taken over by a demon, and thus they are, in all effects, a different person with their memories. Note: Vader is angry after he finds out Padme is dead, even though he's already turned.Įxample of what I mean. ![]() Is that the way the Dark Side works? Is there any canon information about what happens when someone turns to the Dark Side? Specifically to whether they become a different person or how he or she actually changes? That would be coherent with Anakin "dying" and Vader being born. In both cases it seems like the assumption is once you use the Dark Side you completely turn to the Dark Side and become a different person that you were before. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clumsy on that) but just after killing him he goes into "Yes master I'll do whatever you say" which from a normal point of view will NEVER ever make sense. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. ![]() You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. In other words, tap into your inner soul to find out how you really think and behave when faced with temptation.When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. While we're not telling you which side to choose, we will ask you to always go with your instincts when it comes to choosing a dark or a light side. But some people are also on the fence about such dark powers, as they remain unsure about which side of life to transition to. They have embraced their dark sides and typically commit sins for a selfish benefit. While some people are not fully aware of their dark powers yet, many others have full control over them. The question is, how well can you control your feelings when faced with the temptation to do something evil? And better yet, have you ever done something evil or selfish? The dark sides of human beings often remain hidden like a shadow, and only appear when you're faced with the temptation to commit one of the seven deadly sins. You might be the most angelic person in the world, but guess what? You actually have a dark side to you that you may not be fully aware of yet. ![]()
