Master Yodad came to visit me after a long time. I asked, "It's been a while, Master Yoda. How are you feeling and your eyesight?"
He replied, "In pretty good shape for a over-900-year-old, I am. Is getting worse, my eyesight. I can use the Force to see colors beyond the human visible range, but the downside is that use it for long periods of time, I can't."
He continued, "As for that cube, the 1000x1000 cube with 180 stars, I finally completed. It was quite challenging, but once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze to spin. So I came today to ask if you could add some more functionality to it."
I started moving the 2-color cube with 6 stars, hoping it might spark an idea.
As he talked for a while about his recent battle with Lord Sith, a good idea suddenly occurred to me. I then improved the cube as follows:
1. I pasted the facial images of the following 3 Darths who serve Lord Sith onto the 3 corners as shown below:
Darth Vader
Darth Sidious
Darth Maul
(Image. D1, D2, and D3 are actually facial images)

2. There's only one additional rule. When an EP is sandwiched between 2 Darths, a star mark is added to that EP.
In other words, the more star marks there are when an EP is sandwiched between 2 Darths, the more likely it is that the EP will be flipped when sandwiched between 2 star marks, so you have to try to avoid sandwiches by Darths as much as possible. If there are too many stars, it seems like you won't be able to move forward or backward at all!
Just as I was about to continue explaining to Master Yoda, "This makes the cube more difficult..." he suddenly disappeared with the cube...
