So, how is it that Nihilus became what he was from the Mass Shadow Generator destroying Malachor? "Experiencing the shadow that obliterated almost everything on and around the planet made Nihilus crave Force energy. The affliction painfully ravaged his body while rendering him a wound in the Force. " This is not really an explanation I agree with, because it essentially means that more could be made. I believe there is more than just bad luck that created Nihilus. Any ideas? ***Edit: I just had a quick read and found something to what this may be. From the EU http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wound_in_the_Force "You are a breach that must be closed. You transmit your pain, your suffering through the Force. Within you we see something worse than the teachings of the Sith. What you carry may mean the death of the Force… and the death of the Jedi." ―Vrook Lamar "At that point in time, the Jedi Masters could see that if she allowed herself to fall to the dark side, she could have become a predator of life like Darth Nihilus—a Sith Lord who had abandoned his very humanity in his phenomenally destructive quest to acquire greater power and satisfy his ever-present hunger." Like Surik, the Exile, Nihilus was affected by the created Wound in the Force that was present in the wake of the Mass Shadow Generators destruction of Malachor V. A wound was created within Nihilus, because he must have had some sort of connection to the force of others like Surik did. His body was completely ravaged by the chaos around him, but he must have had some sort of realization, or was already of the dark side beforehand. The wounds in the force could be harnessed by the dark side, as Revan did, and the Triumvirate afterwards did. Due to him being, or becoming a member of the dark side, he harnessed and tapped into the wound and allowed himself to live on no matter the damage to his body, as a dark abberation. Though of course, this abberation required force energy to sustain itself, which is why he hungered force energy. Surik was warned that if she became a member of the dark side, that she could become a being like Nihilus. This is because she herself is a wound in the force, but she has not tapped into this due to actually cutting herself off from the force during her escape from Malachor V, as the wound was unbearable for her to cope with. Does anyone have anything better than this? Edited by TheSmileInTheDark, Mar 14 2018, 12:31 AM.
