I suspect it wasn't the lightning that deformed him. He was already deformed, but was using Sith powers to disguise his appearance because of how he was trying to manipulate the galaxy through politics. The strain of resisting Mace Windu meant he couldn't keep up his disguise... And then he used his actual appearance as an excuse, claiming it was the Jedi that did it to him, when actually that was what he really looked like anyway.

@kostas pap Out of all of those you said, only Sidious acted like a real sith. I don't know much on Plagueis but I know Darth Bane had it rough, he just simply wanted to stop the in fighting among sith so he created the rule of two. While Vader simply was just doing what Sidious wanted him to do. Being a true sith is about ambition, to seek power and to seize what you want. Anakin at the end of episode 3 was EXACTLY this. He wanted to save Padme's life so he wanted power, and he felt like the Jedi didn't recognize his strength by not making him a master so he wanted to prove them wrong. The he becomes vader and just becomes a servant. If you haven't played it, try SWTOR, the main stories alone make it worth playing and probably the only real reason to play it. But it shows how different sith view the dark side and being "sith". And you can follow that path of ambition as you rise up yourself, no spoilers. It really makes me wish they would start doing more movies/games based on the old republic cause there was much more conflict, and jedi/sith were much more abundant rather than being scarce like they are in the original trilogy.

I read many years ago on how the darkside of the force is so powerful, that it literally destroys the body of it's welder. Part of the story used for 'Dark Empire' (originally published through Dark Horse Comics) showed that Palpatine had clones created, not just in the event of being killed by his enemies, but that the raw power he was welding would eventually burn out his body and kill him, in which 'then', he would just move into the new body and live anew. Palpatine attempted to beat his destiny, and for many years, had successfully done so even 'after' being destroyed by Vader. Of course, this was something that was eventually changed throughout the prequels, particularly in Episode 3 (Mace Windu redirects Papatine's power back on him, which then burned and scarred him).

The way I understood it was that Jedi allowed the Force to flow through them, never seeking greater power, while the Sith sought to subject the Force to their will, having a respect for their power but also believing they were in total control of it and nothing was beyond their reach. The channeling of such energy would indeed have corrupting effects, but looking at it another way one can assume that while Sith drew from the Dark Side, the Dark side also drew from them.

I like the idea that this kind of degradation really only gets to the "disfiguring" stage, based on how deeply you've drowned yourself into the dark side, and for how long. That said, I like that characters like Kylo Ren, Darth Maul, and Count Dooku haven't really deteriorated at all. Obviously, Darth Vader's disfigured, but we all know that it wasn't the dark side that did that to him. For example, Dooku barely exhibited his Sith eyes, and I like to attribute that fact that he's only been a Sith for about a decade of his life. Kylo Ren thus far never has (that we know of), and again, he's only been immersed in the dark side for a few years, I think. Maul and Vader on the other hand, both seem to have permanent Sith eyes, but no further dark side degradation, by the time they've both spent twenty-ish years as dark-siders; and by that time were each *still* being schooled by Palpatine. Now, with all of that taken into account, it makes us wonder just how long characters like Palpatine and Snoke have been immersed in the dark side, and how deeply they've explored it by the time we were first introduced to each of them. Thirty years? Forty? Fifty?

The yellow eyes thing seems to be a symptom of giving in fully to the dark side and it's like you can go in and out of it IE when Vader saves luke no yellow eyes but we've seen in comics where vader clearly has yellow eyes and before he had the suit he had yellow eyes while destroying the temple.

It's likely he never fully embraced the dark side or if he did it was only very shortly before the clone wars at the earliest (with Sidious needing time to slowly accept the dark side after leaving the Jedi, after all rejecting the Jedi Order isn't synonymous with rejecting the light side) and thus it didn't have time to have an noticable effect. Jerec on the other hand was a mere inquisitor, his training in the dark side was severely limited to the bare minimum needed to do his job and he didn't have any access to the sorts of materials that would allow him to teach himself so he lacked the millennia of collective experience, knowledge and philosophising of the Sith Order to supplement his training in the dark side. Even with prior Jedi training his foray into the dark side was like wading into the water at a beach while a Sith Lord like Bane or Sidious lived in the deepest darkest depths of the ocean.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

@@coreymicallef365 incorrect on both points. Dooku was a Sith apprentice for 13 years and fully fledged Sith Lord at least half of that. Jerec was officially only an Inquisitor but had access to higher Sith learning until Sidious cut him off due to his ambition. Jerec trained under the Prophets of the Darkside, his access to Sith artifacts and texts he was charged to find and a study of them even as a Jedi Master. Considering that in the entire Empire only Vader and Sidious were stronger in the Force and Darkside than Vader is further proof Jerec was no mere Inquisitor in power. Both Dooku and Jerec felt they had maxed out the Light potential and added Dark side knowledge and power to their repertoire.

This leads me to believe that logically, if the sith tapping into the darkside decays their body, and the Jedi using limited lightside force keeps them normally aged, that tapping into extreme pure lightside energy would preserve the body for longer than a species would normally live, no?

[@caav56]

Quite a few of Force Healing powers are Light-sided and yeah, IIRC, Jedi often had longer lifespans, than normal for their species.

[@eds1942]

I like the idea that it happens when you overdraw from the Force more than what you body can channel too often, this worked the same with Lightsiders in the EU too. That would explain why Palpatine, Dooku, Maul and Revan avoided any physical corruption. Except in Palpatine’s case when his Force Lightning attack was turned against him.

The dark side of the force puts a strain and takes a toll on the body. You rely on extreme emotions. Just like real life, stress takes a toll on ur body. Periodt.

Huh, I wonder if this degradation wasn't just physical but also, somehow, damaged the users presence in The Force. Perhaps that's why most Sith can't become Force Ghosts, while others who may have not completely embraced the Dark Side could. In some cases partially, becoming tortured "spirits".

[@robert48044]

Well Vader was already charred, so he wouldn't have much to destroy

[@enikata7349]

Maybe that's why Sidious transformed during his fight with Mace Windu. For years he'd been surpressing his dark side abilities so he could hide as Chancellor, then during the fight he let them out and it corrupted him completely.

[@erikdrum6934]

The role playing game of star wars provides the answer. In the dark empire source book, it states that the dark side would corrupt The flesh of a dark side user. Which is why the emperor uses clones of himself. The source book came out in 1995, a year after dark empire comics.

[@Ed-pj7fk]

They should have kept have kept the EU as dogma and just tweaked it as they went, kind of the way the MCU is doing. They would have had a lot more material to go on and a much happier fan base. By putting it all under the umbrella of “Legends” they kind of shot themselves in the foot. If they were smart, they’ll move away from the Skywalkers and other main trilogy characters and explore and revive secondary and Legend’s characters. Doesn’t have to be exact but maybe a series based on the Admirals with events from their stories now in legends (like the Thrawn trilogy) to anchor them to the former cannon. Since all that is now their legend, what better way to include bits and pieces of them with the new canon. If they don’t show the exact events, then it will still be legend since their is always some semblance of truth in most legends, after all there supposedly was a real Robin of Locksley who’s legend became Robin hood.

Question: If jedi embraced the transformation of the force. What changes would they experience?

[@shadekerensky3691]

Theirs is a more benevolent transformation as it makes them look younger than they should look for their age and it constantly revitalizes them plus it increases their lifespans. And then it also gives what many Sith crave, immortality, though through being Force Ghosts than being able to live on in their physical bodies.

[@ElKabong78]

@@shadekerensky3691 It's also interesting that most Sith crave physical immortality, going through artificial means to pro-long their lives while the Dark Side takes it toll. Meanwhile, Jedi get revitalized through the Light, and are content with "immortality" as a Force Ghost.

Darth Sion looked like that because he was an actual walking corpse. He died and through his pure hatred and pain he was feeling, he just got back up. Sion was a decaying body. He only lived because he focused every little bit of hatred into staying alive and being strong. The constant pain he felt by being dead helped. Sion was immortal as long as he forced himself to live. Or if he was like thrown into a sun or something of that nature.
