Talk:Force drain/Legends

He didn't use any force drain on her! He was force chocking her out of anger.

AFTER he chocked her. The medical doctors healed the choking damage, but poeple believe that he drained her health while he was in surgery. Varas Halcyon 13:25, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "People believe" does that mean fan-speculation? KEJ 13:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So, he drained the health of the woman who he believed he had killed on Mustafar? That makes sense - Kwenn 13:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, such irony ;-) You have a point though. And I'm still wanting to know whether "people believe" refers to fan speculation or not. KEJ 14:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's fan speculation,no he didn't do it delibratley. He drained her health through their force bond during his 'surgery'Varas Halcyon 16:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I repeat, through the Force Bond, UNCONCIOUSLY!!!! [[User:Varas Halcyon|Varas Halcyon 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Very likely a screen cap of a multiplayer round. Darth Kevinmhk 16:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The caption says "Sith cultist", but it's likely just a Kel Dor Jaden Korr using Force Drain on an enemy. -BaronGrackle 21:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Replenish their own strength in the Force?
The article states that users of drain are able to regenerate, in lack of a better name, "Force Points" from its victims. Where does this come from? Both Academy and KotOR only allows the user to replensih health. Furthermore, if you could regain Force power from Drain, it would be the ultimate offenisve power, enabling you to attack forever as enemy death boosts your Force pool. Come on! Isn't it established that the Force is infinite and everywhere, and that any Force shortage is a sign of mental exhaustion?DarthMRN 00:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the Prequel Trilogy established that the Force is not unlimited, as it is "Midichlorians" that give one the power to connect to the Force. Since they are biological in nature, their powers are limited, and thus so is the Force. However, the Original Trilogy did indeed state that the Force is unlimited, which is precisely why the Prequel Trilogy should be changed, but this is a matter of opinion, so I'll say no more. As for Academy, you are correct, however the name is somewhat misleading, as Force Drain is show opposite of Force Absorb (even the icons are similar). The power does drain the Force from its victims (in addition to life force), but the user only gains life force.
 * Actually, KotOR2 establishes that the Sith could draw Force energy by taking the lives of others. Anyway, it makes sense. Since the Force is basically just an energy field created by life, stealing lives is the same thing as stealing Force energy. Personally, I think that Force Absorb and this article should be merged. At heart, they are pretty much the same thing.--76.104.136.71 21:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Image war
So, now that the page has been locked, can someone explain what the problem is? -- SFH 04:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Appearantly, User:(- -) believes that the image is non canon (and even accused it of being fanon), and he removed it from the article. Greyman reverted him, and put the image back in. Then User:(- -) kept adding "non canon" to the caption. I reverted him, noting that it's not a fanon image, as it's an image created by LucasArts. But he added the "non-canon" thing back in. Then Darth Culator reverted him, and of course User:(- -) went and reverted Culator. So the main problem seems to be that User:(- -) thinks the image is non canon and fanon (even though it's from LucasArts), and keeps adding "Non Canon" to the caption even after being reverted by Culator, Greyman, and myself. 70.17.138.34 05:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It is non-canon. The image takes place on Taris, but it is using a force power; revan didn't have force powers on taris. Though I suppose it could be another Force Sensitive. And it has HK-47, there is no canon source for him EVER being on Taris. It is not canon. And, there seems to be a mod or pre-release NPC in the far background, but I can't tell what it is for sure because it is far away, one looks like a sith trooper in republic colors witch was definitely not in the game. The image shows what the force power does, but it is NOT CANON. Can wookiepdeians retcon the star wars universe now? Because that is what saying that picture is canon is doing, in a big way. This may be hard to understand by someone who hasn't played through KOTOR. But this image is NOT canon, deal with it. I am OK with keeping it as long as it is stated that it is not canon. Wookiepedians can't create canon at will; ergo, fanon. (and by the way, just because it is used in a demonstration of the game engine before the games release on a lucasarts site, doesn't make it canon) (- -) 11:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
