Man, TIE Fighter, was a great fucking game!
True dat.
Does Darth Vader eat or drink?
Is there anything in the EU or elsewhere that covers how Vader gets his daily nutrition?
All I can think of is the old Marvel comic, where he uses the Force to make a coffee cup float to him.
Man, I thought everyone knew this!
Those two little tubes you see poking out of the mask towards Sebastian Shaw's mouth in ROTJ are feed tubes for liquid nutrition and water. I first saw this in one of those big white books like the cross section ones, only it had pictures of props with in-universe labeling in it.
From Wookieepedia: "Vader could take food through his mouth, but only when he was inside a hyperbaric chamber, since he had to remove his triangular respiratory vent. It was therefore easier for Vader to receive nourishment through liquids, intravenous and otherwise, and to rely on catheters, collection pouches, and recyclers to deal with liquid and solid waste.[17] Though liquids were preferable, he still had the capacity to chew if he wished,[26] though a nutrient feed provided Vader with all the nourishment he required.[6]"
