I'm a nut for Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Halo, Destiny, Star Wars and so forth lore. I'm also incredibly loving bored looking at loading screens all day. Give me questions about lore and I'll answer them for you.

Qui-Gon is Force Sensitive, and everybody knows the only way to kill them is hit them right in the sensitive area.

No, Bethesda's vault for cash made from the paid mods scheme is.

what happened to the chozo

why did the writers think the story of halo 5 was a good idea

why did people think copy pasting the story from ep 4 into ep 7 was a good idea

what happened to the chozo
The most probable answer is their own hubris in the creation and handling of the Metroids, a product to combat the X Parasite, which resulted in division and war with the Metroids, likely through a difference in ideology that the Metroid resented their creators for.

why did the writers think the story of halo 5 was a good idea
The team response for Halo 5's story were the same team who developed the Spartan Ops story line. Halo 4 vanilla copped a fair bit of backlash over treatment of Cortana and Chief and its constant exposition, so they probably wanted to cater the story to the die-hard Halo Lore nerds who didn't need prior explanation and focus on other parts of the Halo universe, such as the fate of Blue team.

Good(-ish) intentions, terrible execution.

It's safe.

No-one has written an amazing Star Wars movie story since Empire Strikes Back. The prequels featured a lot of flaws (George was a great cinematographer, but an awful script writer), and all the games, comics, books and TV shows have catered to various audiences and haven't had the same kind of charm or qualities as the Original Trilogy. Everybody was loving nervous about getting it right for a main-line story, so they opted to play the safe card and rely on a known, working formula with enough variation to let it stand by itself.

how far down does a sarlacc pit go, not just the "pit" portion but everything beneath it that is alive

how far down does a sarlacc pit go, not just the "pit" portion but everything beneath it that is alive
So, let's talk biology for a sec.

The story goes that Sarlacc start as spores, male and female. Female spores are large, and the males feed off them. When a male reaches the female's size, he might explode into many tiny new spores, but he may also continue feasting, eventually burring into the ground to feast upon little insects and stuff underground.

A true Sarlacc as you've seen them take about 30,000 years to mature, and they get that big by feasting upon larger and larger animals that they encounter. Eventually their mass becomes too great and they're just stuck in a hole large enough to support themselves. The Sarclacc in Episode IV is 100 meters large (over 300 feet); there's no way to know they could be bigger than that. The entire pit is nothing but space for the Sarclacc worm-thingo; they're giant worm looking things with multiple stomachs and their digestive system uses neurotoxins to make prey unconscious while being digested.

Just stopping by to say that The Force Awakens is garbage and the worst Star Wars film while Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars film.

I contend that with a better script and some looser actor direction (Hayden Christiansen was forced to be bad by Lucas), the prequels could have been an amazing trilogy.

Think about it; Anakin is this kid who grew up on this backward-ass planet, with a solid attachment to his poor slave mother who was forgeted over by the state, and his only other passion is the things he builds to overcome his constant loneliness. He resents the control of his boss and his friends are richardheads. He becomes embroiled in this epic plot to save a Queen who is being targeted by a weapons-manufacturer-turned-invasion-force, and his selfless (if also reckless) actions impress the young, headstrong Jedi Padawan whom loses his mentor to a figure of the dark forces that conspire for control. The story then becomes about how Anakin, who has ever only know how to act through his emotions rather than his logic due to growing up with his Mum, continually acts on impulse, and his still young Master (whom he considers a brother more than a teacher) is struggling to determine how to reign him in before he gives in to the bitter hatred he slowly is developing for politics. It then reaches a tipping point when Anakin encounters the death of his mother as slavers, and so begins his fall to the Dark Side, influenced by the words of somebody he does consider a true father figure.

And all of this was a 20 year (possibly more) Batman Gambit by a Senator looking to take control of the entire galaxy, using every single person as a pawn in his game of Space Chess, and by the time the plot is finally revealed, nobody can stop it.

Do khajiit have barbed snakees
Given the rest of the biology, I would assume not. Things that have barbed roosters tend to display hard extrusions elsewhere on their body, implying natural design for toughness. The Khajiit look weak, like cats.
