i want to know more about this Zabrak universe. i would like to know the story of Darth Maul's father, just after his birth. like did he just walk around awaiting his murder or did he fight back? i hope that every father who gets murdered goes down in a 20 minute light saber battle

i imagine that in the Zabrak world that climactic fight scene music from TPM is constantly playing as people get murdered left and right. also in the Zabrak world men are always weeping as they have sex for some reason

I mean if the male reproduction rate is anything lower than 100% you're going to have an exponentially declining population

what is the point? u know preying mantises actually have kind of a reason for killing dad right? how do they even keep their population stable if they kill the dad right after a conception? is their infant mortality rate zero? so every darth maul couple can have at most 1 darth maul child who might get their junk chopped off by a lightsaber before they can even produce another darth maul embryo?
ok gd i underestimate this ridiculous thread many xps

UNLESS
what if the Zabrak men father multiple babies? if there's even 15 minutes allowed before they get murdered, that's enough time to jump in the bushes with someone else

that must be it. otherwise you're right, the population would quickly crash. glad to have cleared that up!

or the ratio of males to females is really large. it would still happen for many more than a few generations

Zabrak would commonly take their names from animals native to Iridonia, with many Zabrak families named after the Bukk. Many Zabrak males were named after the Blok, Lok, and zur. Many Zabrak females were known to take their names from the Triz.

According to Ashaa, the Mother Machine, the Zabraks were one of her "children," synthetic lifeforms she created under orders from the Infinite Empire, as part of experimentation the Rakata hoped would give them insight into the loss of their connection to the Force. [5] This would place the origins of the species sometime between 30,000 and 25,200 BBY.[6]

Zabraks, unlike Humans, could not grow eyelashes or facial hair – there were some exceptions, such as Maris Brood and Bao-Dur, who had eyebrows) and eye color (which have certain pigmentations that Humans lack, such as purple, yellow, red, and orange).

#1 hope about Boyega trooper is JJ has chosen to totally ignore prequel canon
surely its a goodie in a stormtrooper costume in a "Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?" type scenario?

Canon is nothing; by the time of ANH, stormtroopers were either conscripts or enlisted, not clones.
