  • Lore Update: Sullustan

    Sullustans may not be as memorable as races like the Hutts, Jawas or Twi’leks, but anyone who’s seen Return of the Jedi will remember black eyed, jowly Nien Nunb, who co-piloted the Millennium Falcon for Lando Calrissian while Han and Chewie were down on the forest moon of Endor. What are these mouse-eyed people like, where do they come from, and how will they be present in Star Wars: The Old Republic? Join us past the jump as we answer these questions.

  • Obese Jedi

    Now that I have your attention with a title such as that I will now lose your attention. Midi-chlorians. Now that half of you have stopped reading I will continue with the main topic of the article. Will fat Jedi be stronger in the force than slim Jedi?

    Beldorian


    As some of you may know, Vader lost some of his connection to the force when he lost some body parts in Mustafar, making him weaker than Palpatine. That is because each cell contains midi-chlorians, increasing force sensitivity. By using the logic in reverse, a morbidly obese Vader would have more cells in his body, resulting in a higher midi-chlorian count. I could explain the Hutt Jedi, Beldorian.

    Will being overweight be a benefit for us in Star Wars: The Old Republic? By being larger we will be slower, but would the force sensitivity cancel that out? Would it be the excuse Bioware gives us so we don't have to think about it? (By "we" it is likely just "me") Will it be possible for us to even make overweight characters? I'm mostly bringing this up because I made an overweight, male, Sullustan entertainer during my SWG trial. It didn't get me better tips, even when I danced without a shirt on.
