I alright eat healthy and keep my mind active but spend too much time on KMC sitting at a desk 🙁

They do not. You will always age, but not everyone goes senile. They aren't the same thing.

No I mean from a biological standpoint. How does Sidious alter his body cells to keep dividing even after senescence. You can't just grow back the telomeres.

The cause of mental senility like dementia is because of cellular senescence.

It's fiction.

That doesn't make them the same thing. Senility isn't an inevitability. Aging is.

And no. Star Wars is not Sci-Fi. It's science fantasy.

Eh, more like space fantasy. Whatever the case, it's well distanced from Earth logic.

On a side note, would Sidious have eventually died from old age like Yoda? Or was Yoda not prolonging life with the force? Would Sidious live indefinitely in his original body (don't bring up clones) or would his organs fail him?

Obviously he would have died, hence why he needed clones and Sith are obsessed with mortality. 😬

I thought Sidious was so powerful that he could sustain life through the force (Tragedy of Plagueis?).

Hey, I'm obsessed with mortality too! Does that make me a sith?

No. You're just disgustingly stupid is all.

Fantasy/Scifi generally. Never read that series. Is it at B&N?

Wheel of Time, DT and the Belgariad/Mallorean are mine.

Sounds good, I'll pick up the first few from the library near my place and give it another go 👆

I believe it is yes, I got all mine from Chapters but they should be at B&N.

I hadn't heard of the last series you mentioned. I googled it and it seems like it could be interesting. Thanks 🙂
