How did Krayt become so old? i mean the force can influence the amount of years you live right. and the dark side can corrupt you like that. But he's like 180-something. (and he was a human) can you really live that long, even if your a sith? thanks JediNTT307 22:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Krayt learned Sith techniques and used force statis to help him prolong his life. I think the YV armor helped too.JediBob 22:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
    • It also turned him into a Krayt dragon for a short period.Obi-Wan Kenobody 06:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
    • i agree with jedibob. Darth Sidious Was human and lived 4 like 2000 years. Revanmaster 18:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)revanmaster
  • Erm, Darth Sidious didn't live for two thousand years. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 18:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • That would be Marka Ragnos, because it said that Marka Ragnos' ghost lived for one millennium, aka 1,000 years.71.252.220.148 02:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Even then, Marka Ragnos didn't live for one thousand years; his ghost existed for that long. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 10:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  • According to Palpatine's article, and the Holocron at starwars.com, Palpatine was born in 82 BBY. Revanmaster, you don't have to sign your name again after you use the four tildes.--Jedi Kasra 05:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I think the idea that Sidious was 2000 years old might have arisen from the fact that he's the first Sith the Jedi know exists since the New Sith Wars against Kaan's Brotherhood. Of course, for this to be true would now be non-canon, and most would accept Sidious as being born in 82 BBY as stated by Jedi Kasra from the Sidious arctical. A better example for using the Force to prolong livelihood might be Naga Sadow, who actually lived for over 600 years, albeit for most of it in a suspended state using the Dark Side. Since he was Half-Sith, not pure Human, this undoubtably affected his lifespan, so it's hard to tell how much of this was natural and survival using the Force, but it's the best example I can think of.
