This little bit of lore tries to be so horrifying with its “slow digestion over a thousand years” but wouldn’t you be dead from lack of water within 2 days?

(mad scramble)

“Acksully no, the Sarlaac taps into your bloodstream to provide you with sustenance the whole time so you flatly alive and conscious.”

Okay but lifespans are not 1000 years even.

(madder scramble)

“Ackshully the Saralaac rewrites your DNA to extend your lifespan so you can be conscious over 1000 years.”

Wow that’s pretty impressive. How many species is its process compatible with? And how does such a lengthy expenditure of energy make sense, nutritionally? It takes more energy to keep a human body alive for 1000 years than the Sarlaac can possibly derive from one human corpse.

(mad mad mad mad scramble, this time using the Force)

“IT’S STAR WARS OKAY. STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT ALL DETAILED.”

Haven’t you been adding all the details?

“Mods! Rule 1!”

Even with star wars woowoo magic, there’s no way this wouldnt be a net loss of energy to the degree of absolute ridiculousness lol like the victims would have to get so much energy input from the creature to stay alive for millennia so what would the point be

Who says the Sarlax eats things for nutrition?
