>Darth Bane says cells aren't equipped to handle the power of the dark side
>Somehow it's only the skin, eyes and nails that serve this issue

Like imagine if the brain cells or the muscle cells got damaged by the dark side. That would honestly be a good comedy.

I thought it was as simple as
>dark siders get power faster but have to deal with diminishing returns and struggling with consequences and longevity
>jedi have better longevity but require more discipline and patience to get greater power
Turns out all that was thrown out the window

Lucas himself was walking this back with the chosen one stuff and the living force that Qui Gon Jinn believed in. A Jedi like Qui Gon literally believes there is no free will and that either the force will make you kill the Sith Lord or you'll job to him so don't worry about it at all, its not under your control. Its the most blackpilled state of existence because literally everything is controlled by fate down to the bacterial level.

The brain seems to be the longest lasting organ in your body.

Everything else goes to shit pretty fast, so of course your appearance noticeably went to shit. Humans hit their peak early in life, early 20s, and it's only a decline thereafter. Women hit the wall at 30. Men start balding either in their teens or 20s.
Muscle mass starts decreasing in your 30s. Bones start losing density. Reflexes start to go. But your mental abilities remain sharp and focused all the way into old age.
