Star wars shields do protect against lava, assuming it's not submerged. Secondly Hyperspace lanes to my knowledge is just a term for preplotted course. If I remember correctly, Han inferred this when he told Like, that they had to wait to jump to hyperspeed, so they would crash into a asteroid field or fly through a sun. I could be wrong.

The only reason why Maul lost that fight is because he was arrogant, the is no way he would have been put in that position against Dokuu, honestly in a straight up fight, Maul is from a culture that ravers melee combat. Sith warriors are skilled in defending against force attacks. so all of Dokuu's experience would have accounted for nothing compared to the skill of Maul.

Because if they did not the other family members would use that as political leverage to get more followers, if they arrested the whole family they could make it look like they were captured or killed by a third party. Then the emperor would be free to discipline them as he saw fit. Galactic politics 101 people.

Frankly you are going to find elitist tanks and douchie dps every were, any lfg system in an mmo should be standard in my opinion. People just need to learn that those trolling have no life, and get over it. I can not tell you how many times I got stuck with some one that thought they the "Bees-knees", and treated the whole party like crap, but we still got our gear. So don't let a valuable tool fall through your fingers, because there happen to be jerks that use the internet.
