    Ok, but if you can do that, can’t you feedback loop power up yourself like Goku?

      That was plageuis’ experiments were trying to figure out. He could absorb other people’s life force to replenish his. And iirc some previous siths could just take over hosts bodies too.

          Well, how do you think he was able to seduce Anakin over? He did have some knowledge about being able to transfer life force between beings. Hence his spiel in the movie about “darth plageous the wise”. The lore wasn’t that deep than, but it seems seeds were atleast there.

          It’s the unfortunate thing about being able to flesh it out after, kinda makes the stuff seem “too convenient”. Was Lucas thinking THIS far ahead, unlikely, but it did seem he had some idea of life force transfer in his head at the movie time.

        If these guys could draw the line between what’s them and what’s body, you’d think they might be better about the whole self fulfillment thing. They’re literally sitting pretty on the question I most desire an answer for. What is the mechanism of qualia?
