| well being a servant of the dark side, while awesome and immensly fun, the dark side of the force causes a body to deteriorate very quickly. but, it would not inflict a wound like that of Malak's. for example, darth sidious/chancellor palpatine begins to grow pale and "feeble" the more evil he becomes, while his force powers grow. this is an example of the dark side of the force causing the body to deteriorate. but the wounds of Darth Vader (metal arms, etc.) and that of Malak, are from battle, and while we know that Vader was nearly killed in his battle with Obi-Wan that will take place in EP3, Malak's missing jaw is never explained in KOTOR, but you can be sure it was in battle, they just felt they didnt need to explain it. the dark side isnt like leprocy, parts dont just fall off! |
