Theory concerning Nihilus

According to the Council, she had already formed bonds in the force with a curious ease, but after becoming a wound it turned into something else entirely. They even said it was symptomatic of the wound in the Force.

Besides, this was just something I did for fun. I don't need it, I already have canonical statements saying Vitiate is better. 😎

That you need the quote to assert his dominance shows that he's done nothing to warrant it.

He dominated Revan in seconds in their first encounter. Even by then Revan was more powerful than anyone Meetra had ever met.

I believe that was her leaching of the bonds, not making them. Nihilus only had a bond with Visas, whom he taught, so that's not weird.

As for your obvious bit of insanity, do not worry. Our Lord will find you, child. You well see, as I have, how beautiful a thing feed can be.

So she just magically survived orbital bombardment without a scratch while everything around her was destroyed? Plausible.

She survived a world devastating attack regardless, so your point makes no sense. Evidently, she was effected by the attack which is why she was on the floor, nearly unconscious when Nihilus found her. Also, wasn't it mentioned somewhere that Nihilus took her back and healed her of injuries? My question is: why was Nihilus on the planet in the first place? What NewGuy is suggesting makes more sense than what you are. I mean, it's not like Nihilus knew her personally and decided to target everyone on the planet except for her and then decide to go rescue her. No, he found a survivor, and instead of killing the survivor, he chose to spare her.

@NewGuy, very interesting. I only skimmed it and will read more thoroughly later. Also, energy is released from the body after the death of an individual, and a large number of deaths can leave an enormous amount of energy for a force user to feed on, which is how Plagueis and Sidious fed on the energy of a bunch of wild beasts after killing them. This could be a possible explanation as to why Nihilus went down to the planets surface after the devastation: to feed on the released life energy of the dead. (you might have pointed this out and I just missed it; as I said I only skimmed it for now)

BTW, did you type this out on a notepad before posting it here, because the formatting is way off, and it's happened to me before.

If Nihilus was meant to have merely absorbed the life energies of the planet after bombarding it, we would have seen him bombarding it in the comic.

All I remember seeing is a bunch or smoke from the planet being devastated, with nothing to point out the source of the attack. Furthermore, the comic comes from the perspective/imagination of a woman who was blind at the time.

The entire comic is on youtube so I'll have to go back through it later.

That smoke is Nihilus' drain. And even if Visas is blind, she can still see through the Force. I mean Kreia's blind the entire game, but no one questions if she can see correctly.

Im sorry NewGuy but Im gonna have to call BS. In almost every context Nihilus' hunger and his capabilities with the drain are considered as a threat to the force itself. He is stated to be destined to consume all life until there is nothing left unless he is stopped. I don't see how a single word in a quote makes you doubt a dozen of other quotes that specifically clarify his devastation.

He spared her because he wanted her to see a world without the Force and convince her to his cause. Visas and Kreia mention this. He spared her specifically for a reason. He was on the planet because he wanted her. And she was on the floor because of the immeasurable pain the destruction caused her.

Heh, yeah.

You act as if there's only one miralukan in the galaxy.

[B]I brought it up some time ago. Quote about Katarr being "blasted" and comics showing physical devastation of Katarr was my very basis to speculate that Nihilus used orbital bombarding, rather than Force drain.

At most it is some sort of destructive ritual but not Force drain and there is no proof that Nihilus can utilize it in combat.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.

And with the information provided by S66, this idea makes far more sense than before.

Also, Force wound is a non-existant concept outside of Kotor II.

Yeah...

lol, so much jealousy in this topic.

Just accept that Nihilus would eat your favorite Sith Lord and be done with it.

Nihilus only needed one.

They don't want to because that would make Nihilus have the most impressive feat in the mythos, bar none, with no prep of anyone not a One or Abeloth. That means he'd dethrone Sidious.

That implies he hasn't already. excellent

Interesting, but if you've seen orbital bombardments in Star Wars they usually turn the planet into magma and rip apart the atmosphere, which is something I think Visas Marr can't survive.
