Yet oddly enough, in the Extended Universe there is an oddball among the Sith, Darth Vectivus. Who was a businessman before becoming a Sith Lord. He only studied the Dark Side, because it was affecting his mining business on an asteroid that appeared to be a Force Nexus for the Dark Side and it was having a negative impact on his employees. Darth Vectivus' self-discipline and preexisting code of ethics allowed him to remain fair and balanced without succumbing to the lure of power which plagued many of the Sith Lords who preceded him. He eventually returned to the mine and maintained a plentiful existence in the company of friends and loved ones alike. These good guys Sith are very rare, but a few existed and most of the time they were more align to the Light Side, then the Dark Side, but only Darth Vectivus was purely aligned to the Dark Side and yet remain rather stable.

I wonder if this was what was happening with Darth Maul's legs, if unconsciously. His spider legs were cobbled together, most likely its component parts not capable of such movement on their own. Maul may have known about mechu-deru, but I'd bet he wasn't taught about it. Moving forward, his next set of legs were constructed out of magick by Mother Talzin. Again, probably not known to Talzin as mechu-deru, but appears to be a similar branch of force use.

I have a great idea of a mando using subtle Mechu-Deru on nanodroids to enhance his body down to the nano meter to evolve natural processes and reinforce the body with an alloy of phrik, beskar and cortosis. This process creates an even stronger connection through the force by modifying the midichlorians into reproduction, nano droids weaving smaller, networked clones with the alloy, creating nanochlorians, able to call upon so much of the force and concentrate it all at once that it’d be lethal to a regular flesh and blood force sensitive.

i realize The Force Unleashed is maybe not canon, but isn't there a Jedi that Starkiller is sent to assassinate that uses the Force to animate metal? is that something different than this mechu-deru? i googled it, his name is Kazdan Paratus, it said something about mechu-deru vitae but i wonder where that fits in all this; i realize he was a Jedi but by the time you encounter him he's also stark raving mad
