10 Scariest Uses Of Force Power In Star Wars History
5. Darth Nihilus Becomes A Force Vampire And Kills Millions
An ancient Sith Lord named Darth Nihilus discovered that he had a calling to feed on the energy of the Force. A common thing in Star Wars, but in Nihilus' case it was literal - he treated Force sensitives as cattle, feeding on their energy like a vampire.
It started simply, with draining individuals. Over time, however, his hunger grew, and eventually became an addiction that he HAD to feed; it was no longer a matter of want.
Eventually, Nihilus became what was called a Force Wound, essentially a hole in the force created by the trauma of Nihilus beginning to drain whole worlds. He turned into something like a leech, constantly draining the Force energy of everyone around him, slowly killing them while he grew stronger and more powerful.
This addiction only ended with his death, by which time he had destroyed several planets and countless people to feed his hunger. Were he not killed, he would have remorselessly continued consuming everything around him until he was unstoppable.
