Jut wondered, shouldn't Cyborgs like Darth Vader and the Skakoans count as immortal too (in terms of immortality against disease and aging)? Rago2 (talk) 10:58, May 15, 2018 (UTC)

Sidious resurrected?

Sidious resurrected himself by transferring his soul into a clone modeled on his original body. I feel a little awkward reading this caption, as I highly doubt it was an actual resurrection. If it was some sort of resurrection, Palpatine would have died and then risen from the dead alongside his original corpse, but in fact he rather seems to have retained the continuity of his existence and simply transferred his spirit, which remained alive in some manner, to the clone body. According to Wiktionary, to resurrect means To raise from the dead; to bring life back to. Sidious did not need to "raise himself" from the dead, as his life never ended, and all he did was he began occupying another vessel.

I did not edit the page because I'm not a native, so I allow for other possible meanings or connotations this word may bear. Mustafar29 (talk) 21:28, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Thanks for bringing this up! I have just altered it to say he transferred it into another body Lewisr (talk) 00:50, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
