Mule in Star Wars

Post by General Mung Beans »

What if the Mule had been born in the Star Wars Galaxy around 20 BBY? Suppose the Emperor discovers him and his mental powers and also manages to extend his life, and ends up being one of the more powerful Imperial warlords. How would this end up?
El Moose Monstero: That would be the winning song at Eurovision. I still say the Moldovans were more fun. And that one about the Apricot Tree.
That said...it is growing on me.
Thanas: It is one of those songs that kinda get stuck in your head so if you hear it several times, you actually grow to like it.
General Zod: It's the musical version of Stockholm syndrome.

What's a Mule? Also, one line ideas are usually frowned upon.

The Mule was a warlord from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series who had mental powers to essentially "convert" people into doing what he liked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule_%28Foundation%29

Changes nothing. Seriously with the EU battle meditation crap the Mule (from the foundation series) loses his more distinct flavor, and with clone or droid loyalty is essentially useless anyway. Hell the EU has the stupid RPG inspired Gun of Command that is a point and click do as I say device that would almost certainly be better because it can be massed produced.
the engines cannae take any more cap'n
